Is this jacket water-resistant? The description says it is not waterproof, but would it hold up in drizzling rain and keep its insulation? Thanks.

Laura. This jacket IS water resistant due to the DWR (Durable Water Repellant Finish) that is utilized in and on the fabric. As for personal experience, I have used my Hooded Compressor as a belay jacket many a time ice and rock climbing in damp (sprinkling/dripping conditions) and it has worked great. The seams are not sealed but in colder environs this is not that crucial as colder environments can be much dryer. I hope this info helps!
