5.0 out of 5 starsOne of my favorite jackets
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019
I have had this jacket for the last half of 2018 and I love it. Kentucky has moderately rainy weather and I work in a hospital. When I get into the work, my day starts immediately and I do not have the ability to spend 20 minutes in the restroom fixing my hair or drying my clothes. This coat has been fantastic! It covers below the backside, so I do not get the seat of my pants wet with dripping water. The fit is snug, tucked in a little at the waist with velcro at the hand cuffs which is great for the windy days. The pockets are durable, I have yet to rip one by shoving my hands in, which is a bad habit I have that results in pocket tearing within months usually. There is a inner pocket on the L side at chest level which I will use to hold keys, cash, or are a very small wallet when I go to shows and do not want/need a larger bag. The hood has some adjustability to it, and it is the only thing I find about the jacket that I wish I could tweak. The hood has velcro on the back to adjust the position it rests on your head, but unless the elastic cords are pulled tight at the sides it has a tendency to fall back off the head or completely cover my eyes. I usually have the wear the jacket fully zipped and the hood tightened during heavy rain or hold the hood a little closely to my head if I do not have the jacket fully zipped. Regardless, this is a fantastically light jacket for rainy weather and has some heat value for chilly weather. I layer it with sweaters on colder days but do switch to a winter jacket as we approve freezing temperatures as it is not a jacket for the cold. Its a light jacket, easy to carry on days that it might rain so I have few days that I come out of work and have to race to the car to avoid getting drenched than my coworkers do!
