The "Newport Collection" Pack-N-Go Pullover Jacket from Charles River Apparel, Adult Small, Navy

I think this is a fantastic windbreaker. I had a zip up version of this, by - Charles River - for years and was skeptical of getting a pullover. I am glad I did, and I really like the pack-n-go feature - which the zip up version didn't have. One could practically carry this in one's pocket - and could easily carry in cargo pants pockets. Provides warm (Down to around 45 degrees) and dry outer shell (no lining) in comfort and style. It's a game changer. Love it. Get yourself one today!

Originally received this as a gift. Liked it so well. Bought another for myself. And have given several for gifts. Have one in each of my trucks, for that surprise rain. Sizing is a little off, they run a little big. If you're on the low end size range order down one size. I have XL and it's loose. Gives plenty of room to wear a hoodie under for layering.

True to size, loose fit. Very lightweight but effective windbreaker. Has become a staple on windy winter runs.

I really love the light weight and the quailty. It has been good in wind and rain, at this price point I find it a real value. I really like it and use it almost every day. When they are giving us a chance of rain or cold heavy winds this is always with me. A little update as of Dec 2016: We had had some cold north winds so far this year. I have taken to wearing this shell every day. I put a nice fleece under it. It has really stopped the wind in its tracks. Wild chills below zero and this been great. Between the two it has been very light and warm. For the record I have ordered two more of them for friends. Oh I made sure and ordered all mine big to get that fleece under them. Update.... I just got a 2nd one for myself it is a 4x just like my other one. But this one is much bigger. So take the sizing with a grain of salt. Even with that said I still love these jackets! update May 2019 used my 4x all winter just the best!

The color is very nice. It is a true maroon rather than a purple as shown in the photo. I am 5'6 and 150lbs and ordered a small (one size smaller than my regular shirt size) and it fits nicely. Baggy, but not horribly so and very comfortable. It packs into the front zipper pocket very well. My only problem is that it's not as water-resistant as I had hoped. It probably would have been alright for a short walk in a drizzle, but my clothes got quite wet walking in a downpour. The vent holes in the armpit area let in water as did some other areas of the jacket after the material was saturated with water. Also, the un-zippered front pocket had puddles forming in it, which had to be dumped out. I wish there were zippers present to prevent this. It did work quite well as a wind breaker, but I'll need something better for an actual rain coat.

Impressive design and quality. I've read reviews about the lack of waterproofing but I bought it as a windbreaker, not a rain coat. I have another jacket for rain. This is perfect.

Got this same jacket in 2004 as a gift at a conference I attended. It was red. It had an embroidered logo on the chest. It has been used well and still looks new. I found this and decided I wanted a new color. It came in two days and looks great. It is for what it is, a light windbreaker. I find it perfect for early mornings when the temperature is 60-70 degrees. It will also keep the dampness out, but not a rain shower. It is not a rain jacket. They have plenty of colors to choose from. Holds up extremely well.

Color: Royal The windbreaker is wonderful, just took it on a cruise in May & it was perfect; I love everything 1/2 zip. The length is great and love the underarm grommets allowing circulation. The pockets are great, especially the large zip pouch. Perfect when I want to skip the handbag; plenty of room for my keys, phone, wallet, glasses, sea-pass, etc. Perfect fit, i went up a size as I like them roomy. I love this particular brand, I have in black (bought a yr ago) & now blue; I’m sure I’ll be ordering another color, maybe green or red.

Es lo que se ve, ni más ni menos. No tiene forro polar por dentro ni nada, es solo del material que se ve y es muy cómodo y práctico, no pesa nada y se puede hacer muy pequeño para guardarlo en bolsos y maletas. A mi me encanta.

We have a few of these now in different colours. Bought them for our parents too.

Pedí este producto de manera anticipada, aún no empezaban las lluvias, apenas había llovido pocas veces por lo cual no había sido posible poner a prueba el producto. Sin embargo hoy, con una lluvia moderada pero constante, demostró su efectividad. En mi traslado a pie de mi casa a la oficina, aproximadamente 10 minutos. Llegué completamente SECO (al menos del torso, que es la parte que cubre) En realidad parece mágico, las gotas de agua resbalan, no penetran la fibra. El producto es 100% ligero, fácil de guardar/transportar. En cuestion a la talla, generalmente soy talla mediana, sin embargo estuve leyendo las opiniones de otros compradores y con base a ello pedí una talla mas chica, entonces pedí TALLA CHICA AUN SIENDO MEDIANO y para mi sorpresa (positiva) me queda a la perfección. Así que efectivamente pidan una talla mas chica de preferencia, por otro lado cabe mencionar que esta talla a pesar de ser mas chica de lo que normalmente acostumbro y de que me quedó bastante bien, estoy seguro de que me da todavía la oportunidad de usar alguna chamarra por debajo, en caso de ser necesario, aunque es importante mencionar, que la prenda no permite que salga el calor de tu propio cuerpo, por lo cual, a pesar de ser tan delgada, no sientes frío, pero no se debe meramente a que sea una prenda caliente, sino que se encierra tu propio calor, mientras que te lo pongas cuando aún estás seco, cumplirá su función a la perfección. Otros momentos en los que he tenido la oportunidad de probarlo han sido en carretera en moto y tambien se ha desempeñado de manera cabal.

I am a 5'7 ~160 lb woman and the small fit well, if not a bit big. Definitely room for layering. The jacket seems decent, though I doubt it would handle much more than a sprinkle of rain. It is quite plasticy smelling, which I anticipate will fade with wear. The material is soft and flexible. Packs into its own pocket, and is fairly small and lightweight (easy to throw into a backpack or with camping gear). Overall, I am pretty happy with it, but I do think it is a bit overpriced for a polyester shell. We will see how it stands up over time.

Lightweight but quality waterproof jacket perfect for light to medium rain only
