you dont just ask for karma like that... youre not supposed to do nice things or help people out because you want karma, you do nice things and help people out for the sake of doing nice things and helping people out...

Dude, you didnt' even help him that much.  I could've made that up.  Tell him something good and make it juicy!  Like...

[mysterious announcer voice...colby?]

As I sit here talking to you, the warm thermal layer of my Matix hoodie insulates my body from the extreme cold around me.  My igloo has needed repair for quite some time, but my thick layer of seal blubber coupled with my Matix hoodie have helped me weather the storm.  It is a size XXL, to fit my massive girth, but I think it has shrunk since I've had it, and, at 6ft tall, it feels a tad bit short on me; especially the arms, which I feel are sometimes too small to cover my flippers.

Like that.  That was entertaining, I hope.

No, that coat is a piece of shit.
The it is 1k, yes I tryped that correctly 1,000mm waterproofness.  The breathability isn't even listed.  It is the typical absolute shit quality as the stuff you see in a Zumiez or any garbage chain store.  Stick with a company who actually makes good technical WATERPROOF outerwear.  I've never worn any Matix stuff, it migh tbe nice, but I can almost guarantee you that their outerwear is the crappiest stuff ever just by reading the ratings on it and knowing that it is made by a company who makes stuff besides snow jackets who then decided, "hey let's make shitty gear and sell it for cheap and make a lot of moeny to kids who don't know much,"  I'm not saying you don't know much cause at least you asked but dfeinitely don't buy this coat.

Haha I guess under waterproofing it just says "water resistant"  so I guess you're right.  And yesterday I was looking and saw it didn't have any vents, which I require.

Ya, it's pretty typical of a skate/surf company to get into outerwear and when they do it always turns out shitty for the first season or 6.
