Fantastic jacket!
I am so glad I chose this jacket. I've been wearing it a couple months now in all kinds of weather and it has kept me warm when it's cold and windy but not overly warm when temps are up, and it's kept me dry in the rain. I originally ordered a medium, which was a snug fit, and I returned it. I like to wear several thinner layers of clothing when it is cold out and knew I needed a large, which is perfect for me. I am 5 feet tall, 130 pounds. I have worn a form fitting silk mock neck, topped by a Climate Right fleece shirt, under a cotton cardigan, and can easily don and remove the jacket. Even with all that clothing, the jacket has a slenderizing silhouette and is easy to zip. Love the two-way zip, the soft lining, the amazingly deep pockets inside and the easy zip pockets on the outside. I find hoods annoying but the hood does fit well and removes easily, so I fold it and put it in the deep inside pocket when rain is forecast. I love the deep grey heather color which goes with all my clothes, shoes and boots. This is a very well made high-quality jacket with excellent stitching and easy to use zippers, even if it were double or triple the price. I toss it around a lot when out shopping or on the bus and it never looks wrinkled. I know this is a bit long for a review, but this is the best jacket I have ever had and wish I could buy one for everyone I know!!!

Lightweight yet warm
The media could not be loaded. I had a jacket very similar to this one and accidentally left it on a train last year. I’ve been looking for a replacement ever since. When I saw this on October 11-12 Amazon days, I had to order it! I received it today, 10/13, and couldn’t wait to see it. The jacket was tightly folded and packed in a zip lock type bag. The packaging offered a great view of the jacket. The next thing I noticed was how soft the outer shell is and I had to do a video review of my new favorite jacket. Inside is very soft fleece lining, even in the hood. It looks like it will keep me warm in the Fall and early spring. The outer shell feels like it will repel the rain and I will do a follow up review when I wear it in the rain. The XL fit is perfect for me. FYI, I am 208 lbs and 5’6” tall. I love how it fits a bit longer in the back. The plum color, I think they called it purple red heather, is beautiful. It appears to be well made especially around the seams and the detachable hood. The hood is securely attached by a zipper and Velcro. The front tabs of the hood are velcroed and fit snugly as you can see by one of the images I uploaded. The pockets are deep and that’s a nice surprise for me. So far I don’t see anything I don’t like.

Water RESISTANT only. Great quality
Updated- I had this for several months in the winter and rain and will wear again when the weather changes. I decided it was 4 starts inteatd of 3. It really repels water excellent. The seams may be only water resistant (if you get soaked), not uncommon at seams, and the body so far has kept me dry. Sometimes I got overheated when my body temp got up walking the neighborhood with just a thin layer underneath. If your moving about on a cold day vs inactive the warmth will obviously vary. (Same to be said for my 800 fill down jacket). I've been very satisfied with this jacket in the rain and cold.Original- Tags for this jacket indicate WATER RESISTANT, so it is NOT waterproof as the product description text and pics advertise. Their other identical jacket with non-detachable hood seems to also have the same (false?) advertising.Hopefully the water resistant claim per the tag is accurate or I just won't accept paying for something that doesn't meet the purpose I expected and have to return it. My other jackets are so old they don't keep the water out anymore. The forecast has rain coming so this feature is TBD.That said, Pros are the comfort and quality of this jacket, it is fantastic and has great workmanship. Great features like the large zippered pockets and zippered removable hood, hidden drawstring waist. This is somewhat of a mid-weight jacket because the light fleece lining. I find that makes it versatile for a wider range of temps.I'm 5'4, 125 lbs and a Small fit me perfect and their measurements do seem accurate to me which I used to held decide a size. It's not taylored extra roomy in the arms/undersrms; they are like a straight cut, so bulky under layers could make for snug arms.

Perfect for Scotland
I bought this for a trip to Scotland. It was perfect. The lining keeps you warm on chilly days and in wind without being heavy. The coat is water resistant and enough that a constant drizzle still kept me dry. I wouldn't wear it in a heavy storm for a long time, but hiking in light rain or walking around town was great. Pockets are a nice size and all zippers worked well. hood was large enough that I didn't have to take out my ponytail to have the hood work.

Love this coat
I read numerous glowing reviews and I have to concur, it's a beautiful coat. Nice light weight but on Vancouver Island I think it will almost serve as a winter coat. Very good quality. The inside lining, although the color is a bit of a miss for the look it's super cozy. Has everything I like in a coat, 2 way zip, detachable hood, waterproof and gorgeous fabric. Also the price is right, not too expensive

Great Buy
I received my jacket today, and I am very impressed. The quality is excellent. The outer material is nice and the inner fleece is soft. The jacket is a good weight and will be perfect for spring or fall. The hood is nice and deep. I debated between a size medium and large, and went with the larger size. It is a nice fit and the draw string inside allows you to adjust the fit. The medium would have fit, but I like that the large leaves a little room for a sweater or layers. The length is nice too as it covers your bum. I haven’t worn it yet, so I can’t speak to that aspect of the jacket, but I’m very pleased with my purchase so far.

Light but lined
This jacket is nice and light yet it is fleece lined right down the arms as well. Double pockets on the side big enough for mobile phones wallets, keys etc. It has a waist draw string to tighten or loosen the width. I ordered the grey/blue heather and it is the color of medium blue jeans (not light, not dark, but just right. I like that the hood is detachable.

LOVE the fit!!!
I bought this go replace a Lululemon raincoat that was too small for me. I love that this one has a zipper at the bottom (just like my old coat) BUT it fits way better.. it flares at the bottom and is extremely flattering. I look skinny in it - huge BONUS-but also the hood is BIG and the material doesn't pick up cat hair! Also it's really soft. Have not used outside yet but I'm tempted to lounge around in it.. it's that comfortable. I don't often feel compelled to write reviews but in case others want a flattering and soft raincoat- look no further! I am donating my old coat, at long last I found my replacement ❤️Update - wore it in a rainstorm, can confirm it is waterproof!! WOOHOO 🎉
