I love this jacket and these questions bring to light why - it is fit to layer a little but not a heavy fleece. it is quite good at managing heat alone - the outer is treated with a durable waterproof repellancy (DWR) that is applied much differently than others. it will not soak, and the insulation will not either. i used this for drizzly days in gropple and mixed precip. - the outer is also a tightly woven, slick fabric that will not snag easily. - the hood is built to fit over a helmet, but the bulbous variation of helmets won't allow me to say ALL helmets. will you dig this jacket? Absolutely
