heavy jacket

Common lengths include at-waist, below-waist, hip-length, knee-length and longer (below-knee/long) options.

Most items are labeled as heavyweight fabric; at least one is identified as midweight.

Many jackets list water-resistant or moisture-resistant treatments and wind-resistant/windproof fabrics; some styles include storm plackets and ribbed cuffs to help block wind.

Typical warmth features include padded or quilted construction, partial high-pile fleece linings, polyfill insulation, faux-fur trim or lining on some styles, ribbed cuffs, thumbhole inner sleeves, and longer lengths for extra coverage.

Closures commonly include front full-length zippers (some two-way), snap-button plackets, snap or button collars, and combinations of zipper plus snap/button flaps for added wind protection.

Many jackets include hand pockets plus a mix of storage: front zip pockets, flap-over pockets with snap buttons, chest pockets with snaps, inside slit pockets and side-entry zip pockets. Pocket counts vary by style.
