After some research, I picked up this jacket and started using it immediately as a shell over various layers depending on the weather that day, including a synthetic puffy, a sweater, or just regular clothes. It blocks the wind and rain really well, and also helped out on an unexpectedly snowy day in Michigan. I love that I can use it when it’s warm out as just a rain shell while maintaining breathability, while also using this as an outer layer when it was 5 degrees F with a total whiteout of snow. Definitely would recommend this to others.
