I think it provides wind protection and warmth during this time of year. You can wear it for a long time if you pair it with knitwear. The size is large, so there's room even if you wear knitwear underneath. My family purchased this new and wore it about three times. I think it can be used by both men and women. It looks cute even when worn oversized. Chest width is about 67cm, length is about 73cm. I think it's easy to use as an outer layer for outdoor activities.
