Is Our Weather Gear merely Cosmetic?

When I used it I never noticed any drop off in their abilities or performance. I don't think wearing or not wearing the oilskins makes any difference beyond the watch's appearance.

I think that the weather gear is tied to the wind speed. Ive noticed that 5m/s is the cut off, or at least close to that, and anything beyond that you can not man the guns, and the crew will not ever don gear below it (unless they already had it on of course). Im assuming that his mod raised that bar to 15m/s, which seems to be the highest windspeed in game.
