Are the cuffs open on the inner jacket or elastic? Basically, would it keep snow from going up the sleeve?

They are an elastic like style. I think it would stop snow from going up the sleeve depending on how big your wrists are. I'm a smaller dude so there's a bit of room but nothing crazy. I would think that you'd be wearing gloves on top so wouldn't have to worry about the snow sneaking in there.

yes, I think it wil...I spend a portion of winter up in Nome,Alaska and snow shoe up in the Bendeleben Mountains and we have white out snow conditions all the time,and I will gladly try this jacket out...you really don't want a really tight fitting inter wrist sleeve anyway,as it restricks arm movement in a comfort manner...in White out conditions,loose fitting clothes keep you comfortable....and the insulated underwear of today is about perfect anyway

The inner sleeve of the zip out lining has a two inch knit/elastic cuff. It is a loose fit around my medium frame wrist. But generally keeps snow out. I wear a longer glove that covers my sleeve while boarding, so haven't really tested it well.

Besides gravity and the side mirror "bags", an pair of plastic hooks attached to elastic straps connect inside the car (you put them through the door then shut the door). It doesn't totally prevent snow/ice from getting under the thing though; I'm not sure how well it would work in windy conditions.

I only use it for cycling... I guess if its really cold, but I would look at just underarmour

Will the drawstring help in windy areas from blowing off? Also, does it help prevent ice on windows? We don't live in snow area but can get pretty cold - maybe as cold as 35-40 degrees?

My husband says that it holds the heat in the rain in fall and spring. He has never worn it in the winter. I have a Marmot as well and agree wholeheartedly. Our daughter also wears one and agrees with us. It is much warmer than any other rain jacket we have worn.

It has a velcro closure, a slit maybe 5(?) inches down center. It's a very nice jacket. We're in Georgia, so I don't know that I'd put it up against a western New York cold, but we do get some cold weather, and this is perfect for it.

I used mine in a sleeve on my lower back, after all the times I shoveled snow this past winter .. cold & then warm! Not sure about larger sizes, but this was fine for me.

The actual tube fits in a protective canvas donut like sleeve. so there is some protection from tearing or cutting the tube its self. I have not tried that. seems to me snow would have more resistance than water and would put more stress on the rope loops but ive seen crazier things towed. I would consult the manufacturer.

I think it may be too heavy for that, it being seriously lined, but you can see how he/she likes it. If he/she pants all night or sleeps restlessly or fidgets trying to get it off, you'll know. Still a great jacket for cold walks. Our dog was ill when we bought this, so it was important it be easy to get on and keep her warm outside. There was a lighter weight one with no lining that she wore indoors. That might be worth looking into for your needs. PS I see other responses referring to opening as 2-3 inches but that must be for a smaller dog than ours.

no it doesn't - we have had lots of rain here and wet heavy snow - the material really does keep her dry - water etc. repels off. We aren't as cold here - so I have a small sweater that I put on (English Springer Spaniel) and vest over the top. I was happy how it kept her coat dry and repelled the water. Than again she would swim in the Pacific Ocean - so our dog doesn't really need the extra warmth. Hope this helps!

Yes!! The only part that this sleeve doesn't cover is inside of your arm, below the armpit to the elbow. It really needs time to freeze between applications though - but it gets nice and cold.

Yes, if you keep it zipped all the way it will keep out snow and rain. However, you will get condensation on the inside.

Yes it does! The drawstrings are smartly located inside the waist pockets of the inner layer. Placement of the drawstrings inside the parka keeps the drawstrings from getting hung-up or snagged!

Definitely with a jacket, I find the top part is quite open even with the rounded too. I tended to dress my son's upper body warmly and then not as a warm a pants and shoe since those were properly covered

Not sure I understand the question. As I understand it,it is worn under parka or shell jacket not zipped to it. I wear mine under a EMS shell jacket and I've not been cold even in the crazy cold weather we're having in Ma. Hope that helped.

The interior is a tight fleece material. Truelly a great jacket for the price, but it's not the inside as much as the outside material ins't water resistance. But you cant go wrong with the jacket.

The inner jacket zips in. So they can be worn separately. (Haven't actually done that yet. In Minnesota - pretty cold. And it does work better than most jackets of this weight to keep me warm. I'm very satisfied with it that way.)
