"Good windcheater with nifty pockets."

Rating:****
I love the jacket. Initially I bought it because it was pink and on sale, but I haven't regretted it. Despite it feels a bit plasticy on the outside, the fleece inside makes it pretty comfy and I love how lightweight it is. The pocket on the arm is great for me to put my money in when I'm just going for a quick walk to the shops and don't want to fuss with my wallet. Nice windcheater, it cuts through most of the wind, but it doesn't serve as well in real cold weather so I wouldn't take it out in temperature below 15 deg Cel.

Great Buy!

Rating:****
For the most part I use this coat around town, but will definitely be using it for summer and fall hiking and 09/10 skiing. I normally wear a M or L and the L was roomy enough to fit a fleece or light sweater underneath it. The only downfall is that the cuffs are one size, but thankfully are tighter to fit around your wrist and under a glove, if necessary.

"It's a cool jacket and I would buy another one if I had the money. I practically wear it everyday!!"

Rating:****
Had the jacket for over a year and received a lot of comments on how cool the jacket feels and looks. It's comfortable and light weight. It's good against the wind. The one drawback is that water seeps through the jacket in some areas. It is not entirely water-resistant. It also takes awhile to dry after coming out of the rain.

Excellent jacket!

Rating:*****
This is one of my favorite jackets and I recommend it to anyone. OR fits the athletic to average women very well and their clothes are high quality! I use this jacket during all seasons (even when it is cool in the hot summers).

What a great fit. Plenty of rooms at upper arm to move while hiking. Great style and color. Best fit I've had in a jacket in a long time.
Karen at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 01/03/2007

Its the best purchase so far!

Rating:*****
I wear it for walking, it is exceptional for walking on the Cape Cod canal, where it can be very windy and cold.
