Basically, if the budget allows and the purchase is justified, you could get plenty of use out of it.
Having its own pros and cons, this waterproof jacket has its fair share of fans. Whether you decide to go on a hike or walk your dog in the foggy morning, this user-friendly jacket will be your friend. Besides having a set of basic and not-so-basic features, you will certainly stand out in the crowd with its stylish design. The choice is ultimately yours.
