I wore it almost every day during my 3 weeks in New Zealand.  It kept me dry, and warm from wind and rain.  It has vents, it has zip seal pockets, and I&#8217;ve had no durability issues.  Overall, it&#8217;s a solid jacket with the features that matter most to me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lately, in a crazy snowstorm that hit Texas (rare to see), the temperatures got to around 9 Fahrenheit and knocked out our power for several days.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/me-wearing-jacket-in-snow-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"me-wearing-columbia-watertight-2-rain-jacket-in-field-of-snow\" class=\"wp-image-5391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/me-wearing-jacket-in-snow-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/me-wearing-jacket-in-snow-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/me-wearing-jacket-in-snow.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>9 degrees in this picture.
