Deceivingly thin

Rating:*****

So I read the reviews that said this jacket was light weight. I was still SHOCKED at how thin it was. I figured I'd try it out anyway.
I love it!
I got it just before fall in Chicago. It's perfect for running or running errands. I talked about it so much, that my brother and my boyfriend both got the men's jackets (and are just as happy.)
It is not a Chicago Winter coat but it is surprisingly warm.
