Is this jacket like the water resistant ones that feel thick or is it more of the soft material that's thin?

It does have a thick feel to it- definitely not a flimsy material. Though the insulation inside is VERY thin and metallic.

its 1 layer fairly thick polyester fleece yet on the very front were your mouth, going down your chin and neck its laminate mesh that I would think would be pretty water resistant. I'm in MA and I've warm this while shoveling and snow blowing also and it does get about as wet as any fleece would yet I've never gotten wet through it even after an hour outside and when I do ride in the cold with it I but the arms of my glasses over it rather then going inside over my ears and that helps keep it snug. I like the idea of eh way the top is kinda adjustable as you can get more of a custom fit for how you want to wear the top, you can actually push it right off your head if you wanted.

It feels very soft like cotton but is way more durable. It's been out in the heat and the rain and is still pretty much like new. Our first one was cotton and we were retying broken strings all the time. Love this one - very comfy and should last a lot longer.

It is not very thick.however Tt is quite effective in providing comfortable protection from liquids. It is well made and does not have that plastic feel , at all! I readily recommend it

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.

It's not heavy and thick, but is well made and feels like a cover of a book. flap is pretty stiff except for the cease for folding. I like it.It's a good one.

It's more like paper cloth. Feels thicker than a paper towel. But it does the job well!

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

It is similar, but because it is thin it is softer in my opinion. You may want to look into the toddler one if you are looking for something a little more dense. I have both. I will submit a picture of the two in the reviews so you can see the difference.

I have the Zebra Print, but I am assuming it is the same material. If it is, then yes, the fabric has the feel of a coat/ski jacket.

Don't remember how thick, I bought it as a gift for a friend, but it did feel well made and tuff.

It's light and not super thick, but very comfortable and warm. Probably the same thickness as fleece you'd find in a fabric store like joann or walmart.

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.

Its not super thick, but it is soft. And the nice lovely warm inviting heat is AMAZING. We have it on over an Englander Savannah mattress, and I think it feels pretty good.

The jacket is pretty thin so it doesn't provide very much additional warmth. It is water tight and pretty wind resistant so it does cut down a bit on wind chill, but the jacket is no substitute for layering or a heavier coat if you plan on using it in cold temperatures.

The material is pretty thick and heavy, not easy to tear. I have had mine for about 2 years with no problems. Keeps you dry even when wind blowing.

It's very thin and definitely not stiff. There is a slight crinkly noise but it doesn't annoy me at all. The inside is a soft plastic and it is really quiet compared to other waterproof pillow cases.
