The jacket is 1A. I have been wearing in the cold sub-zero temperatures in Berlin, and not frozen. Even rain it has to have survived without equal wet down, the water bubbled thoroughly. In deep snow, I'm already herumgewatet while it was snowing very heavily - all Topp. And it also looks pretty good, because it is something tailored silhouette and the "coarse" Reßverschlüsse give her some additional whistle I think. Apropo: the bags can be closed with zipper, very convenient. As it was snowing so remained my phone dry. I can recommend this jacket. I have personally bought a good size than I usually have greater in order to undergo a thicker jacket / sweater can. Fits well.
