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

Dry? Not sure, but I think I know what you mean. Kind of dry smell. Hint of musk/tobacco. This is that pimp-mack-daddy-swag fragrance lol. Goes good with a nice fitting suit and a nice watch.

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.

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

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 suppose that would depend on what you have on under it. I live in East Tennessee, and the coat is actually too warm for our normal winter days. But, with our high humidity and wind, I would have to have on long underwear, a heavy shirt, tee shirt, and perhaps insulated overalls, and then the coat would be great. But to tell you for sure, I cannot. We stay between 20 and 50 most of the winter.

I'm not too sure. We haven't had a lot of rain, more snow this time of year. But, it handles the elements very well and from the snow melting on my jacket it doesn't do anything but dry normally. I hope this helps. I'm sorry I didn't have an exact answer for you.

Mine dried in 2 days. Perhaps you put more coats than I did. I only did one coat

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

This is a good warm weather jacket for biking or hiking. In cold New Orleans weather it is a good wind breaker. Its main function for us is as a raincoat. It is a good raincoat or a good second layer for bikiing when the temp is in the 50s. It does not provide any real winter warmth. I have lived in Maine. This would be a summer coat.

I find it as warm as a medium fill down parka, but not quite as warm as a really high fill sub arctic rated down parka. It serves me well pn MOST winter days, all but the most frigid (below zero )

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.

If you are sweating then yes it will. I wear it running when the rain is heavy and I get pretty clammy. But I think all waterproof jackets would do that. There are armpit vents so that can help.

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

I'm sorry, I've only used it once so far. Yesterday it rained a little and the few drops I got on the jacket seemed to bead and roll off, no stains yet. I will know as I use the jacket more in the future!

Yes, though it did not breath well, so there was sweating involved. May have been just me though, I run warmer than most. You may not have any problem at all.
