baleaf Womens Rain Jackets Waterproof Windbreaker Packable Running Lightweight Cycling Jacket Reflective Hooded

So I ordered both Bikewa and Baleaf, in 2 sizes. I was actually more interested in the Baleaf because I liked the more periwinkle shade displayed in the ad, however they are exactly the same purple as each other and not periwinkle. The inside fabric and outside are identical, the sewing patterns are identical, the purple colors are identical. Here are the differences- the Bikewa has armpit vents and black zippers and a smaller reflective name on the back than the Baleaf which has no armpit vents, purple zippers, and a larger reflective name on the back. Otherwise, they are identical! The quality seems great imo but I have not worn it outside yet. They seem to trap heat. As far as fit- I ordered a XXL in Bikewa and a L in Baleaf… I will return both for an XL. I am 5’4” tall, 177 lbs. I loved the back length on the XXL that covered to the bottom of my rear, L went to the middle of my rear. L was nice looking fit up top with my 38” bust (36 B/C) but a little tight on my hips (42” hips). XXL was a little too baggy everywhere so thinking the XL will put me in the sweet spot for my shape. The arms are very long on both sizes, going past my finger tips, but both have “hook n loop” wrists to fix that. The hat is my only complaint on both- it is extremely deep and goes over my face even if I adjust the front opening tighter. It would benefit from a way to adjust the depth. I suspect if you wear a ball cap, bike helmet, or put your hair in a big bun or something to add depth, it might help. It is not a breathable fabric (not many waterproof options are- sounds swooshy and feels rubbery/plastic like and has a faint smell at least when new. I will be buying an XL to keep. Both brands seem great, just note the differences if they will matter to you. Read more

Like how this jacket is very light while protecting me from rain and wind. The bright color is fun and made is easy for people to find me in a crowd. Bought one in white. This is a great raincoat. The hood has a little visor to prevent rain from hitting your face so much, and you can tighten the hood to ensure it says put. Really love it. Read more

Ran slightly small and tight through shoulder and chest with a few light layers. Otherwise decent quality. Liked oversized hood for rainy days. I reordered in medium. Loved the red color. Read more

Would have been perfect except for the velcro at the cuffs. Velcro patches are too short to really tighten the cuffs. This will allow cold water to get in at the wrists during outrigger paddling during the winter. Everything else was great: full zip, lightweight, waterproof, roomy and breathable. Sadly I have to return it because the cuffs cannot be tightened enough. Read more

This rain jacket fit great. I usually wear a medium and was true to size. Just the right weight for wearing for Florida winter rain weather. When not during the cold spells this winter. Is very stylish so I can wear it for outside damp outings. I sm very happy with my purchase. Read more

This was a beautiful jacket, but I needed a longer length, so ordered a different style. This was very well made nice pockets. Color is beautiful, hood folds up into collar. I just needed a longer one. Read more

This jacket is beautiful with a slightly stiff brim to direct rain away from your face. It is very well made but it does run on the small size. I ordered a size larger so that I could wear it over a warmer jacket if needed and it was perfect. Read more

I’m 5’2”, 155lbs. Got a L in blue. Fits perfectly. Not a five star review because of the hood. It needs an elastic adjuster at the back. It’s very large and slouchy. When pulled up, even when cinched snug around the face , it hangs into your eyes and blocks your vision. One would need to wear a ball cap underneath it. The inside of the coat is rubber-like. It gets hot and sticky. Not a breathable jacket. There is a back vent, but not vented armpits. A nice feature is a tacky band around the inside of the bottom hem which helps the coat to fit nicely. It also has very roomy pockets both inside and out. This jacket is not suitable for hiking or backpacking, but probably fine for wearing when going out shopping, if you have an umbrella for your head. Read more
