I really like the jacket but the arms are long and the Velcro closure won't keep the sleeves above my wrist, it slides down to my fingers. The body of the jacket doesn't look like the photo on me. It's a baggier fit. I was afraid to get a smaller size because of the bust measurements on size chart online. I can't get a smaller size for exchange so I guess I'll keep these baggy jackets . At least I'll be dry and can layer if needed.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. It is very thin, great for Florida but maybe not everywhere else. It’s very nicely shaped, the small, my size, fits me perfectly but slim fitting if you need more room, size up. I like the high neck which folds down nicely if you want it opened. Haven’t pulled out the hood yet, but a good feature to have.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I had to return my purchase. The color was too salmony :) Also, felt a little like wearing a paperbag so a tad uncomfy. Looks okay if it fits. Length on arm ran longer.

Nice but a little tight in the arms. Had similar years ago had more breathable material inside

Definitely on the small side and even though I am only 5'2" I feel like it is too short. Loved the color (mango) and it seems to have a nice sturdy zipper, but I don't think I'd wear it enough.

It's a very light weight, unlined jacket good for mild rain & wind. Isn't as heavy as some other rain coats I've owned (very thin) but seems to work for visibility (I want to be seen) when on my walks, and would help me if it rains. Material is thin & somewhat transparent (I got the hot pink/cactus flower) color. I bought a large as it said somewhere to size up. It's a bit big (I'm normally a medium) but leaves room for bulky sweaters

Great for 3 season backpacking and is very lightweight (6.2oz). For all the reviews complaining about a stuff sack not being included, the image shown is actually the jacket being tucked into one of the inner mesh pockets - a great feature that really helps with packing and storage space.

Purchased this 8 months ago and have worn quite frequently. Great jacket to stuff in a daypack to provide light rain and wind protection. Love that it is lightweight. I would not say it is completely waterproof in extended downpours as I wore this in an extended downpour and after awhile, it seemed a bit saturated.

I got this coat for a great price online. I was looking for a reasonably priced raincoat for every day wear. It is a little thinner than I thought it would be but will work.

I really like this jacket although it is thinner than I would have liked. I love the bungee straps on the the bottom of the jacket, and it has a great hood as well.

Just what I wanted. Great color. Lightweight waterproof fabric, pockets, easy zipper, good for layering. Took other reviewer's advice and chose a size up from my regular size. Glad I did. Space saver in backpack purse. Only tiny drawback is feels over priced.

I really like the color and the pocket storage is great to carry on a bag. It's thin, but does the job of keeping you dry. The hood folds away not to heavy to wear.

I will love this for Golfing!!! I can tell that if it's truly a downpour outside it's probably not going to work so well but for light rain or wind for light it will be perfect! I wanted the hot pink but it was out so went with plum.

sizes are larger, it is useless to take measurements, size M is too big

Haven't worn it in a real rain storm yet but so far it is a good jacket. Fit is overall very good, only complaint is that the cuffs are very wide. They are adjustable, but due to the extra material when you tighten them they bunch a little which affects the comfort and look.

It's paper thin but comfortable. Not going to hold up in any cooler weather - could be used more as a jacket for spring/summer.

Very nice lightweight waterproof material. Color not as show. Nice grey color. Fits well through shoulders and sleeve length. Tight fit around the middle (sized more for youth than women). Good quality, nice price. Keeping and wearing it.
