This is an ideal jacket for a rainy climate as where I live in Oregon. It is well made and sturdy, yet still lightweight. Doesn't wrinkle. I bought the previous version six years ago and it is still going strong. It's a great weight to carry along for trips. I use it for shopping as well as to and from work. I love the flattering fit (trim at the waist) and hits at upper thigh. Only think I did not like was the color. Was hoping "mystery" would be a dark gray, but it's actually a gray-green. Returning and hope to find a pure black one like this.
