: I am considering buying a raiders jacket but am concerned about their durability. Does anyone know how well they hold up in rain, snow, etc.? I really don't want to end up with another leather jacket that can only be worn in fair weather. Also, does "press stud fastenings on the storm flap" refer to?

: Thanks!

Just speaking for myself, my jacket was worn through a pretty tough winter here in Tennessee last winter, as well as a very windy and rainy Spring, and it was the only jacket I used. It was worn in an icestorm that shut down our state during the holidays for 2 weeks, and I wore up right up to the middle of June in the upper 70 degree range when a jacket wasn't really needed. It surprised the heck out of me, as I personally didn't expect to perform to this range of weather. It just plain did more than I expected, and in spades. It's the best jacket I've ever owned to date, and I've owned a few. Regards. Michaelson
