What to Compare Before Buying
Check the XXL size against your preferred fit and whether you plan to wear the jacket over other clothing. The stated layering option is beneath waterproofs, or as an outer layer in wind and light water spray. The description does not give a waterproof rating, so do not assume the jacket itself is suitable as waterproof protection.
The hydrophobic, water-repellent description refers to the down fill. Consider this separately from the stated protection against light spray when deciding what conditions the jacket needs to handle.
Before You Decide
Confirm the black XXL variant is the one you want, and consider its fit over your intended layers. Check that its stated use for wind and light spray matches your needs; the jacket can also be packed into its chest pocket for storage.
