It is a rain jacket but here is what I learned after a bit searching..

"2 layer: Good protection, heavy, durable, good breathability, least clammy, affordable.

2.5 layer: Good protection, lightweight, less durable, best breathability, often clammy, often affordable.

3 Layer: Best protection, light weight, most durable, fair breathability, little clamminess, expensive.

It comes down to what you need. I personally have two types of jackets in my gear closet, 2.5 and 3 layer jackets. If there is a light chance of rain and I need decent protection with minimal weight, I'll take a 2.5 layer jacket. If there is a chance of heavy rain and I'll be working up a sweat, a 3 layer jacket is going in. Pants, however, I always settle for a 2.5 layer, just to cut weight. If you live in an area with little rain, a 2.5 layer makes perfect sense. If you live with constant monsoons, a 3 layer really is the way to go. I don't personally use 2 layer jackets, but if you're just hiking around town or commuting, they have a place."
Do not use in dryer. The liner will peel. I know, dumb decision.
is that a rain jacket? why can't manufacture just say what type of jacket it is, instead of listing materials and picture that don't tell you anything.

Edit: And I mean waterproof and windproof still does not help, most fall and winter jackets are windproof and waterproof.. I guess they should put a temperature rating in descritption, or something..

Macy's had the military olive color on sale recently. I received it a couple days ago. Very nice. It's a thin rain jacket for those wondering.

It's a rain jacket. I guess you would call it a hardshell.

2.5 layer in the description gives it away as a rain jacket

If you know things about rain jackets yes. If you don't, why would something being 2.5 layer mean waterproof?

I live in a very rainy region, so I know my way around rain jacket lingo. But if I didn't, and I saw something said 2.5 layer, I would have no idea that mean waterproof.

If you ask Jeeves, he would also agree.

It's a strategy to sell. Most people when they see a North Face jacket they would assume it's a winter jacket and at $50 they'll pull the trigger (when delivered they realize it's a rain jacket and look out for a reason to keep it due to returning inconveniences). If the manufacturer would specify it's a rain jacket the vast majority would pass.

Specs say it's windproof too. Kind of expected if it's waterproof.
