  • A+ Ultra Packable Waterproof Windbreaker
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

  • Review for Fit
This little rain jacket is exactly what I was looking for to replace an LL Bean one much like it that was lost during travel. I’m writing to share my experience with the fit. First, I generally find that when I am buying on amazon and there are multiple colors of a clothing item available for something, they often fit differently. So to clarify, I got the black cherry color. It’s gorgeous and I highly recommend. I’m 5’4” and 120 pounds with a 36B bust. I bring the Bust up bc that is where I had issues. Actually ended up exchanging for a Medium bc I wanted to be able to wear a suit jacket/sweatshirt under it when commuting. The small fit well everywhere else, but was quite tight around the bust, and frankly, I’m not very busty so that was surprising. I could not have layered anything under the jacket when wearing a small. While the arms on the medium are a little long, you can adjust the wrists with Velcro so they don’t slouch over your hand....Just writing this review for those looking for some validation on sizing. Not lined, lightweight, doesn’t breathe well like most waterproof jackets don’t so that didn’t bother me, good quality. If you’re looking for something for very chilly weather this is not it. I wore it once in rain - it is waterproof. Again, I think the color and manufacturer matters as far as fit consistency. Hope this helps someone!! I give it 5 stars. ... show more

  • It's a great light rain jacket
Color: Bright Marigold Size: Medium
I loved the portability of the jacket. I can take it everywhere and it doesn't take up much space The disadvantage is that it is not a 100% waterproof jacket, it only works for light rains. The measurement works fine, I usually use M, and the M remains loose fit that allows me to wear a coat underneath ... show more

  • Raincoat is lightweight and great value for money
I am very pleased with my rain jacket. It fits well and is lightweight, perfect for summer rains and camping season. I have not yet had the opportunity to wear my jacket in the rain but will try to remember to update this when I do. This is a stylish raincoat, with a great hood, and a good value for the money, things that are important to me when shopping! ... show more

  • Good fit, but not waterproof 2 yrs later
It fits well and is moderately breathable. I’ve had it for 2 yrs and it’s lost its water proof qualities. I’m aware that if you wash it too frequently that can happen but I avoid washing it more than 1x/month.
