How much does this jacket weigh? Is the shell made of tough ripstop material? Is the Omni-heat lining visible inside the jacket?

Not sure of exact weight but it is very lightweight, comfortable and warm. Shell is 100%Polyester ripstop material. The Omni is visible inside the jacket.I would purchase this jacket again. Was warm, in a Minneapolis winter last year.

The jacket is made of a very soft outer material, and does not appear to be extremely tough. It is lightweight, does not feel heavy, although the jacket is very warm. The lining is visible on the inside as shinny panels. I have a cheaper Down Jacket that I purchased at Sam's years ago that is similar, although it is more comfortable. I never get too hot in that jacket, and I never get cold in our East Tennessee Winters. This Columbia Jacket will probably be warmer and especially useful in colder climates. Wearing it inside only so far, I got hot in a hurry! I also purchased a Carhart Down Jacket that does have a shell made of a much tougher material, but not quite as rough or coarse as the normal Carhart jacket. The Columbia one has a lot of nice features, and I think that I am going to like it.

I can't answer your question specifically but can tell you that the jacket is light. It comes with a bag that my husband was able to stick it in for a recent airplane trip (a bag that's the size of a small purse). He was the only one getting off in FL not schlepping a big coat.

I don't know, I returned the jacket right away because the connections were too loose and jacket would not stay warm, if you move at all!

It's fairly light. I haven't weighed it but it's plastic. I believe the panels are two layers of plastic with an airspace inside. I'm a 6 ft tall guy and can easily life it with one hand. And no, I'm not physically fit :)

It's has a waterproof lining. Don't know what it's made if but it's like plastic but not hot

6', 210lbs and it fits well, sleeves extend a little longer to cover a glove gauntlet (love that).Definitely not a summer jacket- be prepared to sweat!

Hey, John. Man, I'm not sure exactly, but it's got to be under 2 lbs. Super-light. First time you take it out of the sack, you'll think "How in the sam hell am I going to get that thing back in here?" But, it fits. Pretty handy liner.

this is an all temp. jacket. i have worn it from 17 degrees farenheit to 98 degrees , when it starts getting hot the super warm lining zips out and has zippers on each side in the back and if you keep the zippers on the arm un zipped the wind goes right through and keeps you cool.really thick leather blocks out 100 % wind . really awesome for all weather.

Yes..it's more of a full cut jacket. Check out the review on outdoorgearlab.

It's unlined making it very light. I use it as a windbreaker on chilly windy days without rain.

I don't know. I can say this about it the quality is top shelf, light but rugged, I don't would find it hard to ever snag or rip the suit. JC

It weighs virtually nothing. One of the best gear purchases that I have ever made. It adds warmth to a bag when it is cold and can be used alone when it is warm. Easy to wash. Easy to pack. Priceless really. I bought one at REI and then bought another from Amizon for a friend at a much better price.

As long as you're moving, much like any jacket. I rode just today while wearing it and it was 81 degrees and humid, but I was comfortable in the wind. With the liner out and the pockets and vents unzipped the air passes around you nicely, and that was riding two-up and still didn't have any problems staying comfortable.

This is a textile jacket. It has armor in the shoulders and elbows. The back protector is a stiff foam pad.

I don't have it handy but I would say around a pound. It is very light weight and compact. If you are looking for something to keep you warm in 50 degree weather this is too thin. If you are looking for something that will be good for backpacking and used in reasonably nice climates, this is definitely a good purchase. I have taken mine all over. I would say the warmth is about equivalen to a slightly thicker flannel sheet. I did my research before buying and this was the best option in terms of space. If you don't care about warmth, the only thing I have used that is smaller is the silk sleeping sacks...but also expensive. I think you will be happy with this item.

It's a little bit insulated, a lot more than the other models. It's a little like a jacket, but not down.

Good morning. I purchased the jacket for my granddaughter. She told me it was indeed warm and waterproof and she loves it. She was skeptical, as was I, at first because it is so lighweight. But all skepticism was swept aside when she wore it for the first time in cold, damp weather. She has worn it ever since in those conditions. Hope this helps.
