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.

Sorry, but I'm not sure. It appears tough enough that it can be easily put on and taken off with sufficient stretch that it won't rip. As for heating it up, I will never know what effect that has !

It's a tough woven fabric, like that of gore-tex jackets or a good diaper bag. It's not uncomfortable to the touch, and it's super flexible. We're very violent with it, and there's no evidence of wear. I should mention though, that it's been about two years and it's flat as a pancake. I'm planning on refilling it, because it really is otherwise an excellent product.

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

I'm not sure how much it weighs in oz's but it is the LIGHTEST jacket I've ever owned; throw it in your bag and you forget it is there. Super light

It is not heavy it's actually more light to medium. It will keep you warm but not over heat you.

Hello!The substantial clothing is light weight, while I cannot find the paperwork, probably about 30 pounds. I have bought SIX racks holding 150 pounds or more. Love its easy mobility and brake system.

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!

Hmmm I am a big guy about 220lbs and around 6ft sooo depends, but I'd say it feels heavier than most and almost too hot for me which is good on those below 0 days... def not for the fall

I have the jacket to my dad for a Christmas present a while ago. I don't remember. Sorry!

It is a thin opaque lining, some sort of plastic? Seems quite durable. Used daily for three weeks solid last summer. Only issue is that the burlap type fabric is rough, so if you hold it on bare skin, i.e. shoulder, it doesn't feel that good. Spacious and Eco friendly!

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.

It's extremely light weight, but provided there is enough weight in it, it will stay put.. I had it at Burning Man, where it was very windy, but, I had a lot of weight inside. It got very dusty inside, due to the extreme wind and dust (playa in the Black Rock Desert) but it held up. I had no problem with ripped seems. It would, in my opinion, make a decent, inexpensive kids tent. It's quite small, but perfect for 2 small people that like each other a lot, or children. It will not go back into the bag that it came with. That to me is also not an issue. I hope this helped.

I personally love this jacket. It is heavy but you can take the liner out very easily for the days its not too bad. The more you wear it the more comfortable it gets. The jacket is comfortable but heavy.

This jacket is very thick and hard leather. It's extremely heavy and and pretty warm. I would say that it's probably not for everyday use.

I'd only use the shell as a rain jacket in colder weather. Since it has a full liner it's a bit heavy, would be overly warm, and more bulky than a normal rain shell for backpacking.

The interior is a tight fleece material. Truelly a great jacket for the price, but it's not the inside as much as the outside material ins't water resistance. But you cant go wrong with the jacket.
