How will it hold up in a few minutes of steady rain/snow? I am a college student so walking in the rain between classes may happen.
Does the wind blockage hold up to its name?
do you think it is suitable to wear in below freezing temperatures with a hoodie and shirt?
I dont know if you can answer this but how do you think this jacket compares to the Apex Bionic jacket? I'm torn between the two
Thanks

It'll shed rain/snow between classes, due to the grid pattern tight weave everywhere plus the power shield material on upper chest. This will block less wind than a cotton sweatshirt. You'll have to layer long sleeves under it to shed winds over 15mph. A shell over this would be more effective than sweatshirt for below freezing. It's just a fleece. This is more comfortable and warmer than Apex Bionic. I personally don't think the Apex bionic is all that. Check out the Patagonia R4, or Arcteryx Atom LT, they both top this one, and your friends on campus will be envious. They probably still haven't caught onto Arcteryx, depending on the state you live in.
