5.0 out of 5 starsYou'll love this jacket, but ignore the sewn-in size labels.

Searched and searched for a waterproof jacket for running. Stumbled across this one which seems to be a slightly less expensive version of the Outdoor Research Apollo jacket (in my opinion). I'm a pretty solid US women's size 16/18 with a 38C chest. I originally ordered the size 2XL (44-47.5") expecting it to be big enough to have room to wear a sweatshirt or sweater underneath. It was WAY big enough. In fact too big. I returned it and ordered the XL 16-18 (42.5-44.5") instead. It is perfect. The under arm vents are perfect for running so I don't get overheated. The adjustable hood is very handy to fit the hood better to my head. (Hoods always tend to fall down in my face but this one doesn't). The material feels pretty durable and the zippers are made to be waterproof, too. Maybe I didn't read the original description well enough, but I was pleasantly surprised to figure out that if you turn the left pocket inside-out, you can easily stuff the entire jacket in it and zip it up to be carried in a backpack. I LOVE this jacket and would recommend it to my running buddies. The ONLY thing I suggest is that you don't look at the size label when it comes. The original jacket I ordered was label as 2XL (as it was online, too). The replacement I ordered online was an XL, but when it came, it was labeled on the bag, retail tags and the sewn-in tag as 3XL. Yet, it was DEFINITELY smaller than the 2XL. So, don't get frustrated (like I did originally) if you order an XL and the tag says 3XL. Just go by the online order size and how it fits to you. I LOVE this jacket!!!
