Does this coat breath? I mean, I am more looking for an autumn jacket than I am something to keep me totaly dry.

This coat breathes better than any other lightweight WATERPROOF rain jacket I've owned. It does not breathe as well as a an autumn jacket, which may have a rain repellant finish. I would opt for a well made autumn jacket.

Yes, this jacket is awesome as an everyday Autumn jacket to me, not just in the rain. It is an awesome rain jacket as well. One of the best purchases in jackets I have ever made, and I am in no way exaggerating

At 20F i would wear a underskirt, t-shirt and a thin fleece under the jacket. But then you are well prepared for a longer stay. If its stormy you need a gore-tex jacket over it.

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

I've been wearing it as a cover over a down jacket, and my jacket has not been getting wet. I also wore it over a sweatshirt on a cruise ship in Glacier Bay. My camera got too wet to use again, but my sweatshirt stayed dry. I guess I should have used the jacket to cover the camera too.

It is not breathable. I don't know if I ever heard of a breathable dry suit. Did not find it uncomfortable, but it has been pretty cold air temp when I wore it (sailed small boat Thanksgiving day, 26 degrees.

I spent 1.5 hours in downpour and hail and stayed dry. It doesn't breathe real well nor is it insulated but it kept me very dry. Also worked as a simple windbreaker

Yes it keeps you dry---all the seams are sealed to ensure that no moisture gets inside the jacket.

I find it as warm as a medium fill down parka, but not quite as warm as a really high fill sub arctic rated down parka. It serves me well pn MOST winter days, all but the most frigid (below zero )

I suppose that would depend on what you have on under it. I live in East Tennessee, and the coat is actually too warm for our normal winter days. But, with our high humidity and wind, I would have to have on long underwear, a heavy shirt, tee shirt, and perhaps insulated overalls, and then the coat would be great. But to tell you for sure, I cannot. We stay between 20 and 50 most of the winter.

If you are sweating then yes it will. I wear it running when the rain is heavy and I get pretty clammy. But I think all waterproof jackets would do that. There are armpit vents so that can help.

Mine dried in 2 days. Perhaps you put more coats than I did. I only did one coat

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

The inside lining of this jacket is a thin.I bought fleecewear as a lining to wear underneath(Columbia) and it works great. My daughter wears the exact jacket,often without the fleece and loves it. Mine is for staying dry,especially when out with my dog. Wore one like it at the beach and for once was comfortable.

I found it to be a tight fit, so I wouldn't be able to put extra clothes underneath. It was a good wind breaker, so it would depend on your jacket.

No. It does not. I would also like to ad that this is NOT a fully waterproof coat. It is good for a light rian for about 30 minutes but NOTHING more. If you are looking for something that will keep you completely dry. This is not it.

Yes. That is why I got the "jacket" for it too. It keeps it colder longer and doesn't sweat all over everything. It is a great water bottle though.

Currently I have my winter coat from Woolrich. Fairly heavy but it's a short coat. I have several other light jackets on it as well. So far it is working out. It's base appears to be heavy enough to hold several coats.
