For me, this jacket came in very handy. It’s lightweight, but had good coverage, and was easy to carry. It worked very well in high winds but a light rain and did provide some additional warmth. The fit was quite nice over a sweatshirt or sweater; I recommend getting one size up if possible. The jacket was very comfortable and did not have a smell when I first opened it. This jacket is quite dark, which I liked, but you might want a lighter color if you will be out at night. Read more
Great packable rain/wind coat for travel. What I like - strong zippers, long(covers your bum!) draw string hood, outside deep zippered pockets, two way zipper in front, comfortable cuffs to keep rain out. Do not be fooled by the inside looking pockets- things will fall right through. Breathable and waterproof! Read more
Exactly as presented in descriptions. I think people are miss understanding one photo that appears to show interior mesh pockets. That is misleading but, to be fair, the description does not specifically identify interior pockets. One photo is showing is an internal mesh that I think is meant to keep the coat from clinging to the body. I would hesitate to see them closed as it will compromise the waterproofing, unless you know how to waterproof seams. However, I don't think these are intended to be interior pockets. Otherwise, this was exactly as described. It on the thin side but needed to be to be packable into the provided bag. I think it is perfect for travel understanding that it is a shell coat. The teal color is nice. Consider layering for warmth needs when selecting a size. The sleeve cuffs are rather poorly made, not stretchy and too big. I can fix that, but should not have to and would send it back if I couldn't. That is why it gets 4 instead of 5 stars. Read more
This is more of a poncho-like material than an actual fabric coat. But, it is well made - the seams are taped nicely, nothing is coming undone (yet), the color is a lovely shade of greyish blue. It is thin like a poncho and I don't believe it would keep me warm if it was the only coat I had on a cold day. But if layered with something else, it could serve as a windbreaker shell and a rain protector. I ran some water over it in the sink and it kept it in a small puddle for about 30 min. Then I ended up washing it by hand in the shower. It dried within minutes just hanging on a hanger. The packability is a great function as I plan to keep it in the car and use it for sporting events or whenever I need it. The fit was true to the sizing chart and the length comes down to my mid thigh (I'm 5'7"). Buy it, you won't regret it. Read more
I really like the style and the look and the fit of this jacket! It’s kept me pet dry in regular rainy days. Wouldn’t wear it in heavy rain hiking - but I want looking for that kind of protection in this purchase. I already have a lined one for that. Was just looking for an option for keeping in the car for unexpected pop up showers. And the fact that it can fold up flat in its own or wad up so small and go into the pouch that came with it - either way is perfect. The only reason I gave it three stars is the pockets for my hands in the front are actually MESH. That offers no warmth or protection at all, so unless I have gloves on during a cooler rainy day, there’s really no point in putting my hands in them. No added warmth at all even with gloves on. I would probably be closer to giving it 4 1/2 to 5 stars if they made just that improvement. The pockets just don’t feel helpful at all. Read more
This raincoat works great! For travel and other occations. I wore it in several days of rain in Scotland. Also worked in rain at football games etc. It rolls up so small and is so light weight, I take it with me everywhere. I love the length. So nice. It's great when you are sitting too. It it great! I like the quality too. I have had this coat for over a year! Read more
This raincoat is so cute. It cinches at the waist so it gives you a more feminine look. I also like the dual zipper in the front. You can unzip it from the bottom or the top. Makes it easy to sit in the car. Just sit the bottom up a bit so that you can drive comfortably. I love that it's cinched on the sleeves so that water doesn't get in the sleeve of your raincoat. Also, I have very long arms and I'm very tall and this fits wonderfully. I can't believe the sleeves go all the way down past my wrist. The adjustable hood is fantastic! Doesn't fly off your head. Or hang too low over your face. It sits right above the knee. It has a slight slit in the back too. Also good for driving.Completely waterproof and wind proof. I wore this while shelling on a beach in a total downpour. Stayed completely dry. I've looked at so many raincoats and they are so expensive. This does the trick. Some people have mentioned how it feels like plastic. I wouldn't say it feels like plastic, but it's not like a cloth material. Fits true to size Really happy with this purchase. Read more
Looks wonderful, packs very small and it is impossibly lightweight. It is definitely flattering. Wore it to a music festival and loved how it looked on me, and it rained the entire time I was there at different degrees. I have deducted a star because it is not completely waterproof. It serves the purpose for walking in the rain and getting from A to B without getting soaked, but after standing in the rain for some time, moisture seeps through and I could feel my back and arms getting damped (I was sleeveless under the jacket). After about an hour in the rain, I could feel my baseball cap and the tips of my ponytail getting damped. Overall, a great purchase for light rain, but I will likely get something else for heavier rain or for extended periods under the rain with constant pouring. I was not soaked, which is more than I can say for many of the attendees, but you would need to consider whether being absolutely and utterly dry is a must for you. Read more
