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.

The jacket is ribbed and there is down between each rib. The total weight of the jacket is very light, in fact, when I received it and took it out of the box, my first thought was to send it back thinking it couldn't possibly keep me warm. But I didn't return it and I have been thankful ever since. I am amazed at how warm I am especially since I live in one of the northern USA states where we receive quite a bit of snow and freezing temperatures. This has been one of the best buys I have made.

I really don't recall...I'd say approx 8~9 lbs to say the least...it was QUITE heavy/hot for me, can't STAND the heat that generates. My daughter has it now, happy with it. I got a summer weight one and much happier with it. If you're reasonably healthy w/o major medical issues...and not feeling cold all the time. I'd get a lighter weight ones, i.e. spring or summer weight.

This is a raincoat only. A shell. IT works very well in the rain but wouldn't keep you warm beyond a 50 degree day. My husband loves it! Just not fur winter.

Shell: 53% nylon, 47% tactel nylon. Lining: 57% recycled polyester, 43% polyester. This is a very breathable, cool fabric that wears well and provides excellent protection from the sun. The "lining" is a very open-weave that covers the top of the shoulders and the upper area of the chest. The item is described as Columbia Omni-Shade Sun Protection, item numbers are 0113, 01729 and AW7077.

I don't know the exact weight but it is very light and weighs almost nothing;however, it provides excellent protection. In addition, the wrap is perforated and can be torn off for a small size of 12inches or torn off for a piece as long as you need.

I don't have it in front of me, but it's just regular lightweight raincoat material. Feels more like fabric inside, and the outside has a plastic/rubbery feel. It's very lightweight. Not insulated.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

The shell is made of %100 polyester, the sides are stretchy material made of %86 polyester and %14 elastane. although these are man made materials the garment is very easy to wash and wear.

The zipper I believe is metal...My son works on skyscrapers. He is an electrician and so he does not have the comfort of being indoors all the time. His job is to run wires and such--through exposed walls and such...He told me this jacket makes it possible for him to withstand the wind, and the frigid winters of NY. I only wish I found it years ago for him.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, as my camping trip had to be cancelled. It looks and feels exactly like my Ex's Goretex USMC issued jacket. The jacket was 100% waterproof, and very lightweight. I'll try to remember to repost and update my review when I actually get a chance to try it.

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.

It's about 3 lbs, the zippers beefy but seems bulletproof, material seems very durable as well, haven't had a chance to use it though so I can't speak for breathability though

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.

Sorry I have not answered sooner. Honestly I do not know.. I have packed Kiki's things away. It is still hard for me to look at her things.. She has only been gone 2 months. What I will say, it is really well made. I thought it was some flimsy jacket, the price scared me. My friend and Kiki's trainr said it is a good brand. It is constructed well, Many safeguards on it. If I had to go on the water (lake or ocean) I would feel very confident she would have been safe Hope this helps you.

The outer skin is textured aluminum and I believe the core of the cover is made out of fiberglass. It is very strong because I've stood on top of the cover on different occasions to get a better view of whatever event I was attending at the time. But then I only weight 150lbs so I don't suggest anybody over 300lbs to get on top of it! LOL !!!

The hood isn't removable and it is a warm jacket but if you are in weather below 35 a liner will keep you warm.
