How stiff is the material? I often do not like the stiffness of a water proof jacket and am looking for a softer feel.

How stiff compared to what? It is not as stiff as a new Arcteryx Theta SV, but is a bit stiffer than your average tee-shirt.

It is actuaaly rather soft and moves very well. I bought it to go hiking and I move my upper body a lot when I hike and it was very comfortable for being active. I would recommend this waterproof jacket for any level of activity as it is not stiff and very comfortable.

Not really. It is more of a lightweight nylon that keeps it from wrinkling but is not stiff at all. Very comfortable and travels well.

I don't know the material, but is more flexible than stiff. I was hoping it would be a bit stiffer.

It's pretty stiff and it has straps on the inside like a suit case to secure your stuff. I've had mine for couple a years and best bag I've ever owned and I've been through a bunch! Hope this helps...safe travels!

I never relieved the items, they were so back ordered they just refunded my money. I did get their back price replacement and it was very true to my icon jacket sizing.. It's kind of a gel-memory foam feeling material.. Hopefully that helps....

hmm..well flannel? i'm thinking the really soft kind? I would have to say its more stiff? so i brushed cotton..I'm not exactly sure but its definitely not the soft fuzzy flannel type

It's actually pretty stiff. It's not something that's going to bend very easily..

The material is flexible but not completely soft. I would not suggest cutting it.

It is not as quiet as wool. It is fairly soft and I would say it does not make much noise while walking. If you are thinking that the metal lining would make a noise, this is not the case. Nice jacket!

This fabric is not soft but not as scratchy as a burlap either. It is a stiff fabric. I hope that helps?!

Hello, the raincoat did not look or feel as though it was waterproof. It had a shiny slivery look that I did not like. I would not recommend it, but then again I am very picky about materials and the feel of them.

I feel the same way. I bought this thinking it was a flexible rubber type material. It is ridged and will kink if it is bent too much. I think that it is vinyl, but definitely not as flexible as I wanted it to be. I made it work though.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

You're welcome. I really love this jacket. Mine is solid black though, but I don't think that will make a difference.

Its not downy soft but mine is not 'stiff as a board'. Maybe someone else knows. *Always remember to search google/bing/yahoo /whatever for opinions and info.

it leaves a stiff feel.....but it is durable...if you want a very soft feel you will have to look at screen printing. There are some heat transfer vinyl that will give you a soft finish but it cannot be compare to screen printing...

It isn't soft. The case is a firm plastic. The side plastic is rigid and the flex back is more like rubber, but the finish makes it look rigid. I have been very pleased with the looks of the case..I have the black one, so I can't speak for the rest.
