Charles River ApparelCharles River Pack-n-go Wind & Water-resistant Pullover (Reg/Ext Sizes)

Fit was awesome. Color is bold and was perfect to throw in a purse. True to size and durable

~Why do I dread this?Because this is such an incredible jacket that I am concerned that they will sell out and be hard to get if anyone finds out how great this hooded pullover is.The fit is PERFECT.Other reviewers complained [ sorry folks! ] about the fit and sizing information. I order my usual jacket size and when I tried it on, I was surprised that it was a perfect and relaxed fit. However, I can understand why women may be frustrated and, as some stated, this is a men's sizing situation. Not sure what to suggest to the ladies, but it's worth the risk.The quality of the material was superb!! Wow. It has a ruggedly satin texture on the outside and the inside is lined with a clear flexible plastic-vinyl-type material that keeps the rain off of you. It has air holes under the arm pits for ventilation.Quantitatively, this jacket weighs exactly 10.1 ounces making it a very light-weight [ qualitative value ] jacket to wear hiking long-distances [ for me 500 miles ].When I first tested it, it was pretty cold outside and it kept me snuggly warm. Nice as a wind-breaker as well.In other words, I found this jacket so nice that I ordered another one before anyone finds out how awesome it is.Way to go Amazing-zon!!!

Perfect for windy and rainy days! Very good quality and true to size. Size up if you want to wear a heavy sweater or bulky item underneath. Ordered the pink and white. Had overnight delivery.

I was looking for a thin, breathable anorak for hiking and mountain biking. First ride today was 45 degrees F, wore a medium fleece and cotton t-shirt under this.Good: It kept the wind out very well and the roomy kangaroo pouch was great for a swap of sunglasses to clear riding glasses as the sun set. Build quality is good, fit was a true medium with enough room for a warm layer, and the cuff elastic is snug enough to keep the breeze out, but stretchy enough to pull my sleaves up too.Bad: After 40 mins of strenuous riding, I peeled this off and it was absolutely soaked on the inside. 100% my own perspiration condensation. Nice and dry on the outside though. So I imagine this would work pretty well in the rain. Not breathable, and the tiny vents under the arms were ineffectual.Recommended for keeping the rain and wind out, but not recommended for strenuous exercise.

Bought two of these for my boyfriend and I to keep in our hiking backpacks as emergency raingear for a 20 mile day hike. Did not have to use them for the rain that day, but they do work as an added layer for cooler temps. I did use it in the rain a few days prior and it worked quite well, however it was definitely not in a torrential downpour, soaking rain environment so I'm not sure how well these would hold up under those conditions. I feel like Gore-Tex is really the only thing that would keep one dry in weather like that, and you're definitely gonna have to pay a lot more for Gore-Tex products. For what it is, it worked well in minimal rain. It was almost like wearing an umbrella. I appreciate the way it packs up small inside the front zipper pocket. This is a good purchase for warmer weather as it's not very heavy and has a little bit of underarm ventilation. For reference, I am a 5' 8" woman, 170 lbs., size 12 and I went with the size Large. The Medium fit but the hood was not deep enough for me, and I generally like a little more room, especially if I would ever want to layer something under this. The sleeves were a great deal long, but rolling them up a couple times fixed that. My boyfriend is 6'1" and maybe 220lbs. The XL fit him well. I will say, the shoulders were different on the two colors we got. The color blocked version he has has raglan sleeves. The solid color that I got, did not. This might matter to some.

I purchased the grey and white color block size S and it’s perfect! I’m 5’3” 140lbs and the small fits me perfectly. I keep it in my hiking backpack for those times when rain is in the forecast. It folds up nicely and doesn’t take up too much space. It has a zippered pocket and open side pockets. It’s very thin so it’s perfect for the warmer months in that it doesn’t cook you to death. Overall 10/10 recommend!

I've owned 2 of these jackets. I used one I bought years ago for work and the other more recently for casual wear. They do what they are supposed to and pack away nicely for easy transport.

So glad I took this on my trip to Scotland. The weather was all over the place and this jacket was so clutch. It’s lightweight but can easily be layered with a sweater underneath. Even by itself it cuts the wind the ease. The picture is from a hike on a crazy windy day as you can see from hair. Without this jacket the hike would have been miserable. Extremely waterproof too! From light sprinkling to heavy rain, this jacket did not disappoint. I wore this golfing and it was definitely appropriate to wear on the course. The jacket has a loose fit but I would say it runs true to size. I normally wear a size small and the small fit great. Enough room to layer underneath but not an overly baggy fit.Added bonus I didn’t realize, you can flip the front pocket inside out and the jacket has its own carrying pouch for easy transport!
