It's well worth the money but it is heavy material. It's tough too as my friend had a heck of a time hemming the pants, almost like Kevlar. I've worn it jogging and stayed pretty warm in Vermont to about 28 degrees, but again it has weight to it and probably wouldn't be good for distance running. However it's not designed for that so I have no complaints. It does run big so consider one size under. Seller was great too.
