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.

Not heavy at all, maybe 5-7 lbs. You slip it on like a back pack. B advised though, the arm frames are of very light tubular metal. Mine collapsed when I used the arms to assist in pushing me up. Just felt like I should mention that. It's a super neat concept though.

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 is not heavy it's actually more light to medium. It will keep you warm but not over heat you.

The material is a nearly perfect and very lightweight (6.14 ounce fabric weight) 65/35 polyester/cotton, breathable durable ripstop blend that feels very comfortable against your skin. However, the only stretch is in the action waist band but nothing in the actual fabric.These shorts are also nearly wrinkle free after washing and dry fairly quickly when wet. They are great for wear in the subtropical climate that I work and live in. If you are looking for something heavier say a canvas material for cooler climates that do make a 8.5 oz. canvas cargo short that may be better that environment. Hope this helps!

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

I gave these to both my mother and mother in law for gifts. They both love them and said they do not worry about the lining. It is a rugged material, but I don't know how to describe it! I hope this helps.

It didn't weigh much but I only had it on for about 30 minutes when I was trying to get the zipper to work.I never did and sent it back.Maybe you'll have better luck but the zipper looked awfully flimsy to me. That's a shame because the rest of the jacket was just what I was looking for.

The material is of high quality and extremely water and wind replant. It stays lightweight even in downpours. Heavy duty and much lighter the oil cloth but keep fire away. Many tie-outs so sagging is not an issue if used correctly. Bombproof shelter for wet, warm or cool temps. However for temps cold enough to require a ground fire, canvas would out perform. This tarp is perfect for extended lightweight scouting or backpacking and wind /water will not penetrate the material.

This jacket is thick and heavy. If it tears it's because you must be sliding on diamonds. It's a good heavyweight jacket. Actual "Wild Hogs" gear is soft and supple. Pure looks as far as I can tell. This thing is legit. Get it. Make sure you get a size up. Had I got what I originally thought it would be too small.

Hey, John. Man, I'm not sure exactly, but it's got to be under 2 lbs. Super-light. First time you take it out of the sack, you'll think "How in the sam hell am I going to get that thing back in here?" But, it fits. Pretty handy liner.

As long as you're moving, much like any jacket. I rode just today while wearing it and it was 81 degrees and humid, but I was comfortable in the wind. With the liner out and the pockets and vents unzipped the air passes around you nicely, and that was riding two-up and still didn't have any problems staying comfortable.

I think it is good quality and it's heavier than most lightweight jackets or ponchos. It is not lined, just the shell and I think I was picturing it as more of a coat type rather than just a rain jacket...duh, we purchased a rain suit...haha. But my husband loves it and he thinks it's better than he imagined and exactly what he was looking for. I feel it could tear if you snagged it, but not likely from just putting it on and functioning in the suit doing normal things.

I personally love this jacket. It is heavy but you can take the liner out very easily for the days its not too bad. The more you wear it the more comfortable it gets. The jacket is comfortable but heavy.

This is made of thin synthetic material. Something similar to what winter jackets are made of.It is not plastic.

this is an all temp. jacket. i have worn it from 17 degrees farenheit to 98 degrees , when it starts getting hot the super warm lining zips out and has zippers on each side in the back and if you keep the zippers on the arm un zipped the wind goes right through and keeps you cool.really thick leather blocks out 100 % wind . really awesome for all weather.

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.
