The perfect waterproof, windproof light weight jacket! I bought this jacket for an upcoming trip to Norway, were everyone recommends packing rain gear. It is temperature rated in the 50's range and with some layering I'm sure even lower! The Jacket itself is well made, and you can adjust the fit of the hood, with the draw strings so it will stay in place on those windy days as well as a draw string on the waste to keep the nice and snug. My wife is now looking at the same jacket in the woman's version for herself! **Keep the plastic bag the jacket comes in or buy some packing cubes. I was able to refold this jacket and put it back in the plastic bag making it easy to store in my carry on or suitcase/ Read more
this is a nice looking and nice fitting jacket. The fleece lining gets extra protection and warmth. A good jacket for over a sweater or even a sweatshirt. Read more
Nice jacket, looks sharp casual. Pretty warm. I bought it for a 9 week European trip and scrunched and jammed it into bags and it always comes out just fine. Zippers hold up great, keeps light rain off me, is plenty warm for 45°F and up. Read more
This jacket looks and fits great. The materials and construction appear to be of good quality. I gave it 4 stars based on first impressions. If it performs as advertised in wet and windy weather, it deserves 5 stars. We'll have to wait and see how durable it is over time. Update: I spent a half-hour outside in 45 degree weather during a steady rainfall today; the water repellent properties did the job. However, I did find myself wishing I'd worn another layer of clothing. Although this garment is correctly billed as a light-weight waterproof windbreaker, the ad showing the guy hiking on an apparently frigid mountaintop was not altogether realistic. The bottom line is if you dress appropriately for the weather conditions, this windbreaker should help you stay that way. I'll stick with a 4 star rating. Read more
I only got it today and wore it today (out in light rain, temp about 50 deg F). Love it so far. The outer shell is flexible but sturdy. It shed the rain very well. The fleece lining is thin, so also flexible and I expect it to slip over under-layers very well. Very comfortable and looks to be very well-made (the seams look very solid). The pockets are quite nice and I like that the main "hand" pockets are fleece-lined for warmth. The zippers all moved very well and seem quite sturdy. I did not make any adjustments to the hood (but I see that there are two individual ways to adjust the hood -- an elastic to tighten the "face" and an elastic to tighten the "depth" I guess, for lack of a better description). I left those alone, and the hood was perfect for me (but no wind of concern today). I like the cuffs (no velcro or tight elastic, just comfy mildly stretchy cuffs under the shell). I could easily see skiing in this with a sweater underneath, hiking in cooler or even warmer weather, etc. Seems VERY versatile to me. Quite comfortable. Read more
Very nice jacket that keeps me warm during morning walks at 30-40 degrees F. It also keeps me dry in mild rain. Zippers work fine. I wish there was a zipper on the chest for my phone though. Size is generous. Great value for the money. Would buy again. Read more
I love this jacket. It's very comfortable; not too heavy and not too lightweight. I ordered a 2X, hoping it wouldn't be too snug or too baggy. It fits true to size and a perfect fit. Looking it over, it seems very well-made and good quality. The zipper glides easily without hesitation. Plenty of pockets too. I like the muted shade of Midnight Blue with the gray lining; nice combination. Haven't wore it outside in the rain yet, but the outer shell material feels like it will be water repellent. The gray inner lining feels soft and cozy. Very pleased with this purchase. Great Spring & Fall jacket. Read more
Arm room is tight for the relative size, seems more skeleton arm friendly. Would recommend avoiding if you have any "bulk" in the arm area. The underarm cut has no tapering so it has that tent like effect, which feels fine if you don't lift your arms, if you do the undersized arm space pulls. Generally, it seems well made and functional enough, I will use it, but do not love it, or even like it. It is very lightweight and the lining seems to provide warmth easily. Will be suitable enough for walking in the city. Will not be suitable real outdoor activities. Smaller arm width people (and I am not setting any records) may find the fit to work better. Read more
