Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Solano Coat

I travel a lot and find myself in many changing climates and situations. This jacket works for it all. With a dress, jeans or shorts. Is lightweight and easy to pack. I chose my layers accordingly and I am ready for anything.

First impressions: coat is great. The inside is soft and cozy. Coat is light and great for the cooler fall weather. Nice for breezy days and easy to layer with a mid-weight for brisk days. The sleeves aren't swimmingly long, as some of my past Arc'teryx jackets--thank you for the shorter sleeves! And thank you for selling in an XXS.

Bought this online and shipping was very fast. Perfect for Vancouver weather during the fall.

I want to love this coat. It is lighter than I thought, which is good. But the slim design makes it not a good layer for a person constantly wears sweatshirt. Except for that, this is a great jacket.

Bought this for my girlfriend after having bought the male version. It's a perfect jacket for everyday life on the West Coast. Not too heavy, not too light, just right.

Please be clear, this isn't a coat, it's more of the shell for a coat. I've had thicker linings. If you want something to block the rain look no further than world's most expensive poncho.

I did a LOT of research before purchasing online. I was so excited to get this but was initially disappointed when the color did not turn out to be what I expected. Almost sent back, but once I tried on I understood why Arcteryx is so popular. The fit is so stylish and perfect for walking the dog and errands in the PNW. For that I would give 5 stars. I wish I had returned it though because the hood negates all the things I love about this jacket! It falls so far down into my face that I can hardly see and have to keep it pushed back with my hand. Hardly functional. I wish I had tried it on in person. I will be more careful next time

Good investment. I bought it in case of rain when on my bike. I was a bit doubtful given that it is so light that is would be rain proof but it did a decent job. Wasn't pouring though will see next time. It is a good windshield as well.

Love the coat but it did not fit. I am 5' 1". The Small was too small and Medium too large. If you did a Medium petite, I'm sure it would have been perfect!

Great coat for walking outdoors - rain, wind or shine. Very roomy, solid water resistance and true to size. I love it!

This jacket keeps me warm and dry in rainy Victoria weather!

I got the Inertia (pink) colour. I like the length of this jacket, it protects my lower body from the rain in rainy Vancouver. I especially like the style, it hugs the body nicely, feels very comfortable. I highly recommend it.

I quite simply love this jacket. I bought a Large which will enable me to wear a thick underlayer, and it fits beautifully. The zipper zips smoothly, the lining glides over my underlayers, and the hood most definitely provides ample protection. If it will be of any help to other buyers, I'm 5'4'' & 136 lbs. and the jacket falls about 3-4 inches above my knees. Just perfect! I'm very pleased I purchased this jacket as it perfectly suits my needs. Another fine jacket from Arc'teryx! Oh, I feel like I'm wearing a silk jacket because the material is so very silky.

Love this jacket - easy to layer and perfect for warmer winter days in Seattle whether it's rainy or not!

I really like my latest coat. I wanted something a bit smarter than my normal walking jacket and this really fits the bill . It is made to the usual standard for Arcterix too. My only gripe is that you can't adjust the depth of the hood, so it hangs too far over the face, hence only 4 stars, not five.

Love the coat, bought it online. Just wish it was a bit heavier......it is very light in weight, but extremely comfortable.

I did not like the color
