Most listings use polyester (often 100% polyester) and name fabrics such as fleece, high-pile fleece, faux fur, quilted shells, woven fabrics, and poplin.
Protection varies by style: some have fully waterproof and windproof outer shells (sometimes with waterproof zippers), while others are water-resistant or described specifically as windproof.
Closures typically include full-length front zippers, sometimes with snaps or storm plackets. Cuff features include adjustable touch-fastener cuffs, elastic or banded cuffs, ribbed cuffs, and storm-placket designs for extra protection.
Care instructions most often recommend machine washing, with either tumble drying or line/lay-flat drying specified depending on the jacket.
Listings commonly use Lightweight, Midweight, and Heavyweight fabric classifications.
