This jacket has a soft, water-resistant outer fabric (resembling the feeling of suede, I'd say) and a quilted, sweat-wicking fabric on the inside. The cuffs have soft, almost sweater-like sleeve cuffs to hold onto your wrist and keep your upper arms warm when moving. It's amazing at providing protection from rain and snow and is quite comfortable to wear as well. The pockets are big. It is machine-wash cold and tumble dry only.
