I have taken this coat on 2 trips. The first was to Alaska, the second to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. On both trips, the weather was quite cool in the morning, but warmed considerably by afternoon, only to cool off again by evening. The coat was perfection! The outer layer kept out the wind and mist that we encountered in Alaska. The fleece layer provided cozy comfort but could be removed when not needed. I packed this coat, in separate layers, in my carry on suitcase along with clothes for the week, yet it came out almost wrinkle free and ready to wear!
My husband and I both recently purchased the Weather Challenger 3-in-1 Jacket before a recent vacation to Acadia National Park in Maine. We had a couple rainy days and used just the outer layer -- the GoreTex kept us dry but was breathable, not hot like most "plastic" raincoats. The versatility of 3 jackets in one was great for travel. We were very pleased and would highly recommended!
This is probably the best winter jacket I have ever owned, it is a must have, you can use it all year round! Very warm, the jackets look great seperate or zipped together! Especially good for these brutal northern Maine winters!
