Nice fit and features, a keeper

Love this jacket, I ordered the pink even though I already have other colors, I couldn't resist. I also ordered one size up after trying both the M and L so I could wear several layers under it. Very well made, great zipper, great fit. The sleeves are long a little bit but the cuff has velcro to bring it up where it needs to be.

Great thin jacket

Cute thin jacket that kept the rain off and blocked the wind while traveling. Loved and would buy again. The small fit very well without anything thick underneath. Packs well and easy to toss in a purse or market bag while shopping. My next one will be a size up just for comfort and preference. 5’4 and 116lbs

Nice with hood

Nice windbreaker with a hood. Size was too small, which normally fits! I also wanted a shorter length.

Poor fit for short person

The sizing did not fit. As someone of shore stature, designers didn't take into consideration the length of the arms and the hips for women in sizing.

Great lightweight jacket

Sized up in case I wanted to layer underneath in the colder months, but it’ll be great and lightweight for spring and summer. Comfortable and easy to move around in.
