How much does this jacket weigh? Is the shell made of tough ripstop material? Is the Omni-heat lining visible inside the jacket?

Not sure of exact weight but it is very lightweight, comfortable and warm. Shell is 100%Polyester ripstop material. The Omni is visible inside the jacket.I would purchase this jacket again. Was warm, in a Minneapolis winter last year.

The jacket is made of a very soft outer material, and does not appear to be extremely tough. It is lightweight, does not feel heavy, although the jacket is very warm. The lining is visible on the inside as shinny panels. I have a cheaper Down Jacket that I purchased at Sam's years ago that is similar, although it is more comfortable. I never get too hot in that jacket, and I never get cold in our East Tennessee Winters. This Columbia Jacket will probably be warmer and especially useful in colder climates. Wearing it inside only so far, I got hot in a hurry! I also purchased a Carhart Down Jacket that does have a shell made of a much tougher material, but not quite as rough or coarse as the normal Carhart jacket. The Columbia one has a lot of nice features, and I think that I am going to like it.

Explorer Delux Zip. I was 280 when I got mine and it has held fine. I'm @ 250 now. If purchased direct from HH you can get the tarp switched for the Hex Fly @ no extra charge & free snake skins. At this time if you buy a hammock you can get the Super Shelter for half price. Insulation on ANY hammock is usually needed @ anything below about 60/70 degrees.You will have to pay shipping though. I reccomend visiting HammockForum.com

it seems like lightweight canvas lined with vinyl. i jog every night with a .38 in it, and no wear yet. and the zippers are still working perfectly.

It's has a waterproof lining. Don't know what it's made if but it's like plastic but not hot

Good morning. I purchased the jacket for my granddaughter. She told me it was indeed warm and waterproof and she loves it. She was skeptical, as was I, at first because it is so lighweight. But all skepticism was swept aside when she wore it for the first time in cold, damp weather. She has worn it ever since in those conditions. Hope this helps.

Shell: 53% nylon, 47% tactel nylon. Lining: 57% recycled polyester, 43% polyester. This is a very breathable, cool fabric that wears well and provides excellent protection from the sun. The "lining" is a very open-weave that covers the top of the shoulders and the upper area of the chest. The item is described as Columbia Omni-Shade Sun Protection, item numbers are 0113, 01729 and AW7077.

Just 6 pounds. And soooooooooooo worth every ounce. It's a life saver for me working in a 120 degree mobile petroleum lab. WARNING: Don't be suckered by the one sold for $149 by PPE Distribution. I needed a medium and it was only offered by PPE at the time. They sent a cheap Chinese knockoff that fit poorly and uses a different kind of ice pack. They were shameless about letting me return for a refund until Amazon got involved. Save yourself a headache. HIGHLY RECOMMEND: I did order a L/XL for $114 through Amazon prime and it was the genuine TechKewl vest. Amazing deal for a great product. Just 6 pounds. And soooooooooooo worth every ounce.

Not overly heavy, but it is a lot of material that will keep you very warm. I personally love mine.

The jacket is very flexible. I would still order the next size up. It will fit well but wont be restricting. I used mine for jet sking not fully submerged in the water. I dont like when something feels like it is choking you. Hope this helped.

I really don't recall...I'd say approx 8~9 lbs to say the least...it was QUITE heavy/hot for me, can't STAND the heat that generates. My daughter has it now, happy with it. I got a summer weight one and much happier with it. If you're reasonably healthy w/o major medical issues...and not feeling cold all the time. I'd get a lighter weight ones, i.e. spring or summer weight.

I don't know. I can say this about it the quality is top shelf, light but rugged, I don't would find it hard to ever snag or rip the suit. JC

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

Since this jacket was designed for motorcycle riding, the leather is heavy. regardless of the weight, I wear my jacket for casual wear as well as riding. Additionally, the jacket is very warm with the liner installed.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, as my camping trip had to be cancelled. It looks and feels exactly like my Ex's Goretex USMC issued jacket. The jacket was 100% waterproof, and very lightweight. I'll try to remember to repost and update my review when I actually get a chance to try it.

It may be about 10 pounds. I would say it takes up about as much space as a winter jacket.

If I remember correctly it is a hollow foil type insulation. It is not goose down insulated. Highly compressible but great bounce back memory.

Bonnie, it is lightweight. I use it every day here in Florida. I like it very much. It has a handy cloth carrying jacket with a sling that I put through my arm that weighs nothing. Also the fabric keeps the heat out, so it is nice and cool under the umbrella. I would suggest buying a metal sand anchor to go with it.
