These are what the British Army often term 'softies' - or what the official label calls them; 'thermal jacket, reversible.' Basically if you are a heading somewhere cold (Scotland for example, or way worse - Norway) these are intended for a mid layer. Can be worn with or without a shell on top.  They are wind and water resistant, not wind and water proof. They are very roomy and internally lined with puffy polyester that is designed to trap in the warmth your body is generating. Layered with a hardshell layer over the top of these to stop rain and snow and you will be set for everything except extreme winter temps. 

The features are very simple - zip up front running from top to bottom for quick donning/removal. Elasticated cuffs, draw cord waist and collar to trap in your bodies warmth. Another pretty neat feature is these are reversible because yes, believe it or not - the desert does get very cold at night so the British Army have kindly made both sides different colours for desert & woodland environments (pockets on both sides too!).

This type of Jacket was issued in Afghanistan in 2010 when I was there.  Great 3 season Jacket.
