Women's Essential Lightweight Waterproof Rain Jacket, GORE-TEX with PACLITE Technology

I am usually a medium, and after reading the reviews, ordered a large. It's a tad big, just like I wanted, in order to fit a sweater underneath. I've tried it in the rain, and yes, the raindrops form little beads and just roll right off. So exciting to finally have a raincoat that will keep me dry! I love the colour, too, a nice, deep shade of blue. The zippers work well, don't catch, and being on the pockets ensures items won't fall out. The underarm venting zippers are a clever addition. It's also extremely light, which is good. I'm a pear-shaped woman, and I find it fits just fine.

The sleeve fitting is narrow under the arms causing the pit zips to intrude into the arm pits, very uncomfortable, requires an extra inch to be unable to wear any layers underneath . A heartbreaking decision to return the jacket searched for a long time very difficult to find a quality women’s shaped longer length gortex jacket with a well fitting hood, body and sleeve length was perfect overall perfect except for under arm fitting. Jacket XS fitting my weight 49 kg, height 5’ 2”.Four star rating for the overall jacket quality.

This is a really classy item well made and tailored to fit waist and chest. Length depends on your height. Not made for bulky attire beneath it, unless one is very slim. Definitely waterproof, and it breathes. I chose navy and my daughter chose black, they are very stylish. I purchased mine on sale, but had to get our daughters at regular price and it was still a good buy. I am short and muscular, so got XL.

Excelente para lluvias ligeras y no más de 30min de exposición, ya que después de ese tiempo o con lluvias intensas, se empieza a filtrar el agua !!

I was on the hunt for a rain shell and had several specific criteria: 1) long (if you're in the pouring rain, what good does a coat do if it only covers the too half of you? Wet butt, no thanks!). This is definitely long to cover your bootie. 2) waterproof- obviously. I haven't tried this in rain yet, but it's Gore Tex, so I'm confident this has that covered. 3) lightweight and packs up small- this is so lightweight it feels like air. It rolls up pretty small. Like one other reviewer said, I got mine at a steak by getting a used Amazon Warehouse deal on it and the tags were still attached. Definitely like new and paid a fraction of full price. I got black which wasn't my first pick but for the price I can't go wrong. I'm 150lbs and 5'6" and the medium definitely fit and looked the nicest. However if I squat down, it kinda cut me across the hips and there wasn't a whole lot of room for layering. A large didn't cut me across the hips when I squat and I could put a fleece underneath and not feel constricted in the least. It wasn't as flattering of a look, but if I'm in a downpour, I want to be dry, not a model. Plus when you're soaked I hate the feeling on having tight clothes in addition, so large is the winner. It doesn't have the look of being "too big" either if you know what I mean. It still looks nice and looks like it fits - just with a little more wiggle room. Overall I'd definitely say this fits the bill. I'm looking forward to being dry in the rain and hope this lasts for most of my life!
