I didn't really expect much from this packable lightweight jacket when I purchased it. I didn't have room for a heavy coat for a short trip with only one carry-on bag, and I knew it would be chilly where I was going. I bought this with the expectation that I'd pretty much freeze any time I set foot outdoors, and it would probably be falling apart by the time I got home.Well, it's now become one of my favorite light jackets. It doesn't look cheap; I get compliments on it when I wear it, which is often. It fits nice, really packs down into a tiny little bundle and, most importantly, it's a lot warmer than it looks.Would I wear it in a blizzard? No way! But it does a surprisingly good job keeping me warm, especially considering how lightweight it is. I think its real strength is as an outer layer over a hoodie or sweater; it runs true to size, but I wish I'd bought a large for layering. That said, I've worn it over a short-sleeved shirt in the 50s and even mid- to high-40s. I wouldn't stand outside for hours in it, but it's perfect for running errands when you're only outdoors a few minutes at a time.Overall, it's well-made, but the zipper does feel flimsy. I'm always worried it's going to snag and break. I'm very careful when zipping and unzipping it and so far, so good, but if you're impatient and generally hard on zippers, this might not be the best pick for you. The material feels thin, so I wouldn't go crashing through brambles, either. Don't forget, it takes awhile to puff up when you unscrunch it; if you unpack it and try to wear it right away, you might as well wear a pillowcase. Once its air pockets puff back up, it does a good job.For travel and light-duty use, it's perfect!UPDATE: It's January 2020, and I'm still wearing this jacket. It's pretty much my go-to jacket on days when it's chilly outside. It still looks nice, the zipper still works, no tears or rips, even though I've brushed up against sharp edges with it more than once. After 2+ years, I'm really happy with my purchase!

Pros: Very lightweight and stylish! Took out in 40F weather this morning to walk to the dog (I live in Utah) and just had a plain T-Shirt underneath but definitely felt warm enough. I'd say once you get into the low 30s and 20s F with this, you might start to feel the cold, especially if rainy. Comes with a small thin cinch pouch. The best way to stuff the jacket in the pouch is to NOT roll it up like a sleeping bag, but rather just start grabbing any endof the jacket you choose and stuff, stuff, stuff! See my 10 lb doggo pic for scale on the packed size. Works pretty well, honestly. Could easily be done anywhere (meaning you don't have to lay it on the ground and roll it up). I am 5'8" at about 170lbs, usually a pear/hourglass shape, and ordered the Large. It was still pretty roomy, but I'm glad of that so I can add a thicker shirt or sweater underneath. It does have a slight tapered-in effect on the sides, so it accentuates your lady curves a tad, although, I wish I had gotten a medium if I wanted a more tight, dramatic accentuation of my hips! But, better safe than sorry, so large it was. Also, not only does it have hidden, zippered front pockets (that is nice to keep stuff in, as well as maintain the hourglass sleek look of the jacket more) BUT it also has two 4" X 4" INSIDE pockets!! Wah? Bonus! They aren't zipped pockets, but deep enough to hold passports, wallets, phones, earbuds, you name it. I just put my stuff sack in one of them so I can pack my jacket on the go! The length of the sleeve is nice, and zipper works well. Love love love this!Cons: There seems to be a similar listing for the almost same jacket, but that was has a removable hood AND seems to run more on the small size. So idk, just double read your descriptions. I personally thought I was getting a detachable hood, but rechecked my order. But you know what, turned out ok because I like it w/o the hood! Only cons I could see is water resistance. I have not tested it out, but I have a feeling this material could resist light sprinkling, but not complete saturation. I plan to put a water resistant coating on it help with that. Also, no cuff bands for your sleeves on the wrists, so taking this to play in the snow or windy weather, and your arms are sure to get a good crisp breeze.

I would definitely recommend sizing up at lease a size (if not two) i normally wear a medium and ordered that size and it was very tight I definitely should have ordered a large! probably could have even gone up a size to accommodate a hoodie otherwise I love this jacket/coat it’s very comfortable lightweight and warm I would purchase this again

I bought this jacket as a present for my son's girlfriend as they are traveling to Germany. The sizing was exact to the size ordered, the fit, perfect for length of jacket and arms. The color is really intense and beautiful. It is definitely packable as it has it's own carrier which is the size of a small loaf of bread. She absolutely loves it. I am not able to report on its cleanability or warmth as they are still traveling. I will advise once they return home. I am very pleased with this purchase so far.

I always wear size M. (Bust 94cm, waist 75cm) The jacket fits perfectly, even a little loose. A sweater and a hoodie can be worn down exactly. The color of the light coffee in the photo looked darker than real. I am very pleased - the jacket is weightless, sewn very well.

Esta rara o el corte está raro. Es dura, la compré pensando que era como las de la marca de Uniqlo que son muy ligeras

Loved the colour, is was not as shown on line, but liked it anyway. I ordered x.lg and fit was great, except sleeves pull up a little. I also found the zipper is a bit touchy and I am hoping it doesn't pull apart as I continue to wear it. On the whole, it was a good buy.

Great coat

Nothing to this jacket. I knew as soon as I saw the tiny tiny packaging.Not a winter jacket, and certainly not worth $85.00
