The combination of the Climatex outer shell and Thermatex inner lining means that the jacket retains heat when needed and is breathable too. Because of this, it suits my needs on mild winter days and through to cool summer nights, as opposed to dedicated winter jackets, which are too warm for most of the year. I really like the fact that, as well as being breathable, for a relatively thin and lightweight jacket it also shields well against chilly winds. The collar is nice and high when fully zipped up, which protects the neck area from similar draughts.
