Super light, waterproof, at least that's how it behaved initially and it has a stable grip on wet sidewalks with slippery surfaces. I was concerned about the weight and construction, it easily creases/folds, but it doesn't tire you at all while walking and that's why you don't even think about not wearing it all the time. Excellent price and if it lasts the season, then I will buy the khaki color as well.
