It's an elastic strap/band that snaps together around your waist snugly, and is at the same time attached to the inside of your coat. It cinches around your waist sort of like a belt. This then keeps the snow/powder from getting in up through your coat. You'll love them, they're quite nice to have. And you don't always have to wear it. If you're using the coat to walk around (leisure) the powder skirt simply attaches to the inside of the coat and stays out of the way.
