This item uses a thick, puffy fleece-lined material. It's comfortable to wear and has a relaxed silhouette. It's oversized and I think it's unisex. I usually wear a women's XL, but this has plenty of room. The hood keeps its shape well and is easy to wear, keeping you warm even in rain or snow. I haven't used it much, but it has been worn, so please understand. Currently on sale, will be shipped compressed.
