Does this coat breath? I mean, I am more looking for an autumn jacket than I am something to keep me totaly dry.

This coat breathes better than any other lightweight WATERPROOF rain jacket I've owned. It does not breathe as well as a an autumn jacket, which may have a rain repellant finish. I would opt for a well made autumn jacket.

Yes, this jacket is awesome as an everyday Autumn jacket to me, not just in the rain. It is an awesome rain jacket as well. One of the best purchases in jackets I have ever made, and I am in no way exaggerating

You're likely putting it on too thick...I had the same issue. You want a very thin coat.

I only use it for cycling... I guess if its really cold, but I would look at just underarmour

Yes it keeps you dry---all the seams are sealed to ensure that no moisture gets inside the jacket.

The material is a combination of spandex & (I think) cotton - it's stretchy. It's not too thin, so it's better than no coat at all, but if you have a choice, you should use a wool, or heavier jacket. They aren't waterproof.

Not quite. I use it to brush a damp fleece jacket [which I then hang to air-dry,] and it looks better.

do you mean putting it on 2x? why would i bother doing something 2x when the other bona does a great job in one coat? i donated the rest of this to a thrift store. i use the other Bona and it is awesome.

At 20F i would wear a underskirt, t-shirt and a thin fleece under the jacket. But then you are well prepared for a longer stay. If its stormy you need a gore-tex jacket over it.

I've been wearing it as a cover over a down jacket, and my jacket has not been getting wet. I also wore it over a sweatshirt on a cruise ship in Glacier Bay. My camera got too wet to use again, but my sweatshirt stayed dry. I guess I should have used the jacket to cover the camera too.

no it doesn't - we have had lots of rain here and wet heavy snow - the material really does keep her dry - water etc. repels off. We aren't as cold here - so I have a small sweater that I put on (English Springer Spaniel) and vest over the top. I was happy how it kept her coat dry and repelled the water. Than again she would swim in the Pacific Ocean - so our dog doesn't really need the extra warmth. Hope this helps!

They have some styles specifically for cold weather -- it's an acrylic that is very soft, and warm. There are some headbands with UV protection, several styles. You can wear the Buffs in several ways -- the Buff website shows how to do it. And it's a nice stretchy fabric that is strong yet supple -- it will serve you well -- it will fit nicely over your nose, yet the fabric will allow you to breathe!

I didn't notice that it said that. Presumably it just means that it has some sort of finish to keep it from absorbing moisture from the clothes. You'd have to ask the manufacturer.

'M' I think, but the jacket is a little light and thin need a mid layer for warmer.

Nope. Didn't notice anything. But I didn't keep it long enough because it didn't help me breath any easier because of the dry winter air.

I spent 1.5 hours in downpour and hail and stayed dry. It doesn't breathe real well nor is it insulated but it kept me very dry. Also worked as a simple windbreaker

I purchased the Frabill (gray) suit. It is quite warm until the rain eventually soaks through.

Sorry I'm not sure I returned it before testing it out outside in the elements. It's a beautiful jacket though!
