Just the thing for wet windy chilly weather (which arrived at the same time as my jacket). The outer layer is slick but not "plasticky" like a windbreaker, the inside is lined with a lightweight flannel which adds a splash of color as well as a little warmth. Style is fitted and flattering. Jacket is lightweight, adding neither weight nor bulk. I live in central AZ so rarely experience freezing or blizzard-like conditions, so believe this jacket (and maybe a sweater underneath) should keep me warm all season.
