For sizing, I'm a 36" bust, 29.5" waist. I bought the small in green in August 2020. I wanted a packable shell for my go-bag. Fit is perfect around my waist. A tiny bit baggy around the bust, but still really flattering. I feel like sleeves are a tad long, but Velcroed tight, it looks fine. In November 2020, I bought a medium in moon gray to use on my daily power walks. Color is on the lavender side of gray. It's fit is just a little bigger than the small, with enough space for a thick fleece jacket layer underneath. Reviews are what helped me make the purchase, so I'd like to share my experience as I think it would be helpful. I've seen reviews of people who were wet after using the jacket in the rain, so I'm including my experience with that also. While wearing the jacket, the packable hood is super easy to unfurl, and just as easy to roll back into the collar. Our Northern New England winter has already begun, so I've been able to test using this as a windbreaker shell. I've been able to go out in windy 14 degrees with a thin base layer and a thick fleece hoodie underneath this jacket, and been warm enough. I actually get a little overheated half way through the walk, but unzipping the pockets (which are its "vents") and the main zipper does help cool me down. One warning! Because it traps body heat so well, it also traps moisture! I have one picture of the inside of the back of jacket after a walk. Needless to say this is not a breathable Gore-tex jacket, so it's to be expected. When I tried the first jacket on in the summer, it did start to get sticky wearing it on my bare skin, so if you live in a warmer climate, this feature might get annoying. As for waterproofness, I've been out in the pouring rain a few times and come home dry -except if I've been sweating. The rain water just beads up on the jacket. Being that it wicks my sweat on the interior, I decided to performed a test in the shower to be sure about its waterproofness. After about 5 minutes of showering my arm, you can see that indeed the inside of my sleeve is bone dry. This jacket is very packable. You'll find in one of the hand pockets, there's a double zipper. Turn that pocket inside out, and feed the jacket body into the pocket/sack. Zips shut. You can search the web to find a video showing it, but it's very easy and quick to do. The packed-down size is 5"h x 9"w, and as flat as an inch thick. ... show more

    • It fits well and is comfortable.
Color: Light Jade Size: Medium
I use this for long walks. It is light-weight, has a comfortable well-functioning hood for windy, rainy days, and works well with layers. The sleeves have well-made Velcro adjusters at the wrists. Good selection of colors. I plan to buy more.

    • Great coat
Color: Malbec Size: Medium
I bought this coat for a trip to scotland. I needed something that was wind resistant and water proof. This coat fits really well and hit every category that I was looking for. I like how the hood can be bundled up and zips into the collar. Sometimes a hood isn't needed so I like that it can be tucked away ... show more

    • Great for what I need it for
Color: Fuchsia Size: Large
I love the contoured fit and packability. You do, however, sweat in it. It's not breathable at all, so I recommend wearing something under it. But it's great to repel rain! Good quality as well.

    • Looks good but not as practical as I wanted
Color: White Size: Medium
I ordered a Medium in this so I could wear a sweater under it, but I could have ordered a small. I'm 5 ft. 4 in. 119 pounds. The Medium looks good although the sleeves are way too long, but not a problem because I rolled them up. However, I walked on a cool day with a short sleeve T-shirt underneath, and the jacket held sweat as if I'd dipped it in a swimming pool. I couldn't believe how wet it was. Two hours later, I picked it up to wear outside again, and the jacket was still wet! Several months later, I've upgraded my view of this jacket. I've worn it on a couple of trips now, and it looks great, is so practical, folds up in my backpack, has usable pockets, and is a great little windbreaker. One problem, though. I left it in the motel room on my last overseas trip, so I might order another one. ... show more

    • Exactly what I wanted
Color: Malbec Size: Large
Bought two for a fall trip to the Oregon coast for my daughter and me. They kept us both dry through a LOT of rain. Fit id flattering and I bought our normal sizes. we were able to wear sweaters underneath still. I was worried the jacket would be short but it was a nice length. We got the wine color and the lighter blue. The wine color was nice, the blue was stunning. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • Thin and fits weird
Color: Black Size: Large
For the brand and price I don't think it's worth it. The sleeves are enormous and long but the lower part / hip area is relatively narrow. There's no lining and it's incredibly thin - so ita lightweight but feels very cheap.

    • Lightweight & Waterproof!
Color: City Grey Size: X-Large
Super lightweight and waterproof, its easy to layer on top of clothing - just size up and everything will be okay. I'm 5'6 and roughly 180, an XL is perfect for me as I have extremely wide shoulders. I love this jacket, its easy to pack down, and can provide a layer of warmth and wind resistance. The jacket can make you too hot and stick to your skin if you're not careful. Overall would recommend, I've purchased this before and definitely will purchase again once this one bites the dust! ... show more
