Are the cuffs open on the inner jacket or elastic? Basically, would it keep snow from going up the sleeve?

They are an elastic like style. I think it would stop snow from going up the sleeve depending on how big your wrists are. I'm a smaller dude so there's a bit of room but nothing crazy. I would think that you'd be wearing gloves on top so wouldn't have to worry about the snow sneaking in there.

yes, I think it wil...I spend a portion of winter up in Nome,Alaska and snow shoe up in the Bendeleben Mountains and we have white out snow conditions all the time,and I will gladly try this jacket out...you really don't want a really tight fitting inter wrist sleeve anyway,as it restricks arm movement in a comfort manner...in White out conditions,loose fitting clothes keep you comfortable....and the insulated underwear of today is about perfect anyway

The inner sleeve of the zip out lining has a two inch knit/elastic cuff. It is a loose fit around my medium frame wrist. But generally keeps snow out. I wear a longer glove that covers my sleeve while boarding, so haven't really tested it well.

Yes, if you keep it zipped all the way it will keep out snow and rain. However, you will get condensation on the inside.

There is a magnet that helps keep it close, but there is no elastic or magnet to keep it open. I haven't found that to be a problem though because I am either using the hand strap or just holding it. I recommend it unless you want there to be something like you are asking about. You could always use a rubber band I guess.

Unless style has changed from last winter, no. But others have put their harnesses OVER the jacket. I really love this jacket for my dog, Bailey- so much so I plan on buying another for this winter season- last year was VERY harsh in Northern Indiana- The only bad thing I would say is that with constant use, the reflective "tape" wears off the back. But very durable considering the walks we take!

Not sure I understand the question.As I understand it,it is worn under parka or shell jacket not zipped to it.I wear mine under a EMS shell jacket and I've not been cold even in the crazy cold weather we're having in Ma.Hope that helped.

No not at all. It has clips that pop the top off. Kind of difficult in cold weather, but you can also squeez your torso in the opening if you are not a big guy....otherwise top pops off. Good luck!

I believe is you were to wear this with an ECWCS parka, this would actually go on the outside. It's thick and warm enough that you probably would be fine with just the fleece itself...

Yes it does. It's pretty big and the inner side of the pocket is mesh. I like to store my sleeves in it if I'm insure of what the weather is going to do. The zipper is a little tight so it definitely takes two hands to open and close (one to hold the jacket the other for zipping). Hope that helps!

It has a velcro closure, a slit maybe 5(?) inches down center. It's a very nice jacket. We're in Georgia, so I don't know that I'd put it up against a western New York cold, but we do get some cold weather, and this is perfect for it.

Besides gravity and the side mirror "bags", an pair of plastic hooks attached to elastic straps connect inside the car (you put them through the door then shut the door). It doesn't totally prevent snow/ice from getting under the thing though; I'm not sure how well it would work in windy conditions.

Melanie, I purchased this for my son who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and to help with the shoulder etc.. He is right handed pitcher. He says that it is for either arm as it is just a gel sleeve and has good luck with it since it does not freeze but is realy cold from the freezer. Could it be that you have the wrong size?

It's winter here so I can't double check, but I don't recall the sleeve sweating. The exposed glass would still sweat though.

Depends on how bulky the coat is - should be fine over a winter biking jacket, but probably very snug over a parka.

It does block out some of the cold from the water. I like it because it keeps me a little warmer while still allowing me to move freely in the water.

No....it works best under a coat or jacket. It is very comfortable if adjusted correctly

My kids use them with out hats or bennies. They haven't complained about the cold yet. I got the XL for them and tightened it down. Works great.

There are two cold sides--cloth side is less, but both get and stay very cold. I bit bulky but worth it for sure.
