yes that is correct, it will/should not snag on a briar. it is made from the same conduit laminate as my Mountain Hardwear Epic rain jacket that i have beaten the hell out of. seriously, i have done everything to that jacket but take a knife to it and it is fine. but, this is an "8000m" parka. unless temps are way below zero where you are bounding about, this is a way above the tree line coat. in any other situation you will probably sweat your ass off. think like you are wearing around your -20 or -40 degree sleeping bag---compare the down fill weight in some of the sub-zero sleeping bags to the down fill weight in this jacket. check out the Mountain Hardwear SubZero Down parka to see if that's not more of what you are looking for before you buy this guy. http://www.backcountry.com/mountain-hardwear-sub-zero-sl-hooded-down-jacket-mens
