Perfect jacket for my Alaska cruise
Great quality and not bulky, perfect for what I was looking for. Adequate storage zippered pockets, Velcro wrists and cinchers for the hem.

Highly recommend, after a Columbia brand rain jacket.
Bought this coat right before a rainy abroad trip and this coat passed the hike/pouring rain test with flying colors.

Very good jacket.
Wonderful jacket. Fits nice, size was right. Would have preferred elastic cuffs but not a deal breaker. The jacket does annoy a tiny bit in that with long sleeve shirts the sleeves tend to follow your arms out, not a big deal to me but might be for some.Why only four stars? The upper pocket with the headphone port makes it seem like you have an upper pocket to stuff things into, but it isn’t attached on the bottom. The zippered compartment is good, but the pocket is only attached at the sides, so when I took my change and put it in what I thought was an internal upper pocket, the change worked it’s way down and out of my jacket.Best thing I can say about it is that I would buy one again.

Nice for Spring thru Fall
This is a nice lightweight soft shell jacket for spring through fall. I was put together well and no hanging threads anywhere on it when it arrived. The zipper zips easily and I like that I can unzip the hood for use in good weather. I haven’t worn it in a downpour but I didn’t get wet in light rain or snow (I wore a light grey “military” fleece jacket under it this winter) The length hits me slightly below the belt line (I’m 5’7″ 180lbs and usually wear large) and all the pockets are nice to have as well. Its also set up for wired ear buds if thats important to you. The cuffs are adjustable and comfortable. I would buy again.

So happy with the size I chose
Being a hefty short man, I was very concerned with the size as I am whenever I buy clothing online. Sometimes I fit into XL, sometimes XXL. It’s all according to the cut of the item. I am so pleased with the fit of this jacket I bought an XXL. I am 5‘8“, and I weigh 230 pounds and the jacket fits. Perfect the sleeves are a bit long, but they are adjustable again very pleased with this item. I hope this review helps other people.

Great quality, comfortable fit!
Very comfortable coat. Great for late fall and early spring weather here in Georgia. Not sure how it would work in a Pennsylvania winter like where I used to live, but works well for me here.First thing that I did though was to unzip the hood and stow it in one of the many pockets. This is a very comfortable jacket, and it fits well. I like the zipper quality, color, and fit. I have no problem recommending this jacket to you.

Hood doesn’t fit.
Hood doesn’t fit around my neck. Pretty sure you order a medium or you order a 4x you get the same hood, same dimensions, zips in. Outside of that, it’s what I was looking for (a replacement for a 15yr old dri-duck with hood). Keeping it, but disappointed. If they fixed the hood, I’d order 3 more.

Good quality and price.
Michael W. Higgins –
This is a well made jacket that cuts the wind, is waterproof, and is warm in fall/spring weather. The hood is a little weird but it works.
John Michael –
Gets hot pretty quickly. Not the best for very cold weather but it’s waterproof and windproof.
