Looking to replace an old somewhat heavy trench for travel cross seasons. I wanted something longer and smart looking. I got the XL olive green with blue striped lining; I am 5'8" and weight 150 and is fits perfectly i.e. roomy enough to layer underneath since it will be my travel coat late summer and into late fall. I wish it were longer but it does hit mid thigh. Love the color and the striped trim and the feel. Sleeves are long which is great; often this is an area that is skimped on. The waist cinch allows a fitted look which I like; I wish the drawstrings were inside rather than dangling outside. I wish there was a secure inside pocket and the outer pockets are smaller than I would like, but they are still useful. I particularly like that the hood has a drawstring to cinch it up and the jacket has snaps as well as a zipper. I don't like to zip up in warm weather rain -- this will be great. The quality seems quite good and the look is smart. I have not worn it in the rain but given other's reviews I will probably spray it with water proofing before I head for Paris this fall as I want good rain protection. I always spray my boots and coat before travel. SOOO now I have been wearing this for a month on my European trip -- it has been terrific EXCEPT the hood is so poorly designed as to be useless. Unless you tuck the front into the back which then falls down constantly anyway, the hood hangs in front of your eyes so it is impossible to wear it as designed. This is a huge design flaw. I will have to fold and tack it back into the hood but I am sure sewing it will tear the lining. A generally great coat for travel -- lightweight, snaps mean you don't have to zip it but that hood is ridiculous. Read more
Lightweight, comfortable, and truly waterproof. The hood gives great coverage, and it folds up easily to carry on the go. Perfect for rainy or windy days—stylish and practical! Read more
It's nice and lightweight, cute, and I haven't tried it out yet as we've had fantastic weather! It's a little pricy for what it is, but everything is now. Read more

The length is down to my mid-thigh, excellent for covering my hips and upper thighs so my jeans don't get as wet from water runoff as with my other rain jacket. Also, the material makes this one easier to pack into luggage, not so stiff as many. I want to wear this raincoat almost year-round so I sized up a little (using the size guide), to be able to comfortably layer over sweaters, sweatshirts, even other jackets. Its breathable and has a drawstring waist so I can wear it in warm weather too. Since we travel to the drizzly UK to visit family several times per year, this rain coat will certainly get plenty of use. I like that the hood has a small bill above the eyes, a drawstring to snug it up, a zipper to remove it, and it's roomy around my hair. This is not a fitted style, using the drawstring waist but it's pretty nonetheless. Very pleased with its appearance. Read more
This jacket looked like the advertisement so that was great. However, just some things to note when it comes to sizing. I'm about 5' 10" and 155lbs and ordered the khaki medium. For those of you that are either tall, long armed, or wide shouldered this may fit uncomfortably. The sleeve connection at the shoulder is not given a lot of allowance for movement so when you lift your arm up the shoulder is tight and sleeve will be very short. Even with my arm down and the cuff not rolled up it still seemed a bit short. If that won't bother you then this is a decent jacket. The length of the body was fine, just not the sleeves. In the images you can see that if I roll the cuff up to actually show the pattern it's about 5" too short. Also, the hood has an added little piece to the front which I assume is to give you a bit of extra coverage, but it is not stiff in any way and just hangs over your eyes and blocks your vision. As for the waterproofing, it does bead up and roll off when put under the tap, but if you rub it a bit it will soak through, so I figure with light raindrops that don't roll off and the movement of walking/things rubbing against the fabric some water may soak through. Lastly, note that the entire jacket is made from a thin polyester material, including the lining. In the light Khaki color the striped pattern can be a little see through. You can really only see it in certain lights/angles or if the fabric is pulled tight. I know I mentioned quite a few things that were off, but if this jacket fits you right I'm sure you'll like it. It just didn't happen to fit me. If you do have the same issue, I found that I liked the "Rain Coat for Women Waterproof with Hood Lightweight Women's Rain Jacket Outdoor Trench Windbreaker Long Raincoats" by Adiwiid in medium.
