Flared windbreaker, lined except in the back. The back is open and consists of two overlapping sections (see photo below). Sleeves with cuffs.

Users comments
The user is satisfied with the jacket. It fits well and the cuffs help keep the sleeves out of the way when she is driving a wheelchair; they also keep out cold air. She did not line the back because she sits in the wheelchair. If she were to redesign the jacket, she would make a full zipper in the front.
