Rated 5 out of 5 by Extrasupporter Great buy!
This is a great buy ... the jacket is sized well.. I would say unisex, ladies size down. It keeps the wind and water out and is breathable. The collar is soft so you can zip it up comfortably and paddle drip keeps out. Easy to put on. I love the color!

Feel and Freedom of Movement Excellent!
Wear and Tear unsure at this time; too new. The fabric has careful care instructions to prevent tearing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PDXVal Nice jacket
I bought this jacket to wear while kayaking. Thanks to reliably fast FREE shipping I received this in time for a trip that coincided with a forecasted "atmospheric river event". Thankfully we only experienced the tip of the event but I got to try out the jacket in a pretty good rain for about an hour and it held up well. I was warm and dry. I feel confident it will keep me dry in similar instances.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chicstyleplus "A Good Deal!"
I chose this for a multi-purpose jacket and I am pleased with it.Made in the U.S.A. is a plus!!Well made..sleeves/cuffs just right for me and the sleeve cuff is exspandable,also the neck is high which I like and a good closure.A zippered pocket for essentials very handy!I have the periwinkle colour and it is vibrant!! One can wear a fleece or sweater underneath.This fits the bill for all water sports really.A good choice from L.L.Bean!Very pleased it was on sale!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Cricket808285 Large neck
I just got this and it doesn't fit too badly except for the neck. The neck is very large and water would definitely get in it. Perhaps on a man this would work, but not on a woman unless she had a large neck. I will have to return this.

Breathable, kept me dry in 25 plus winds.
Does run small so order the next size. Foldable and lightweight. Perfect for paddling Texas coast or lakes. Item was made in USA!

Since women's jackets are hard to find I bought small mens. Love the versatile neckline w/zipper & velcro closure and soft interior to prevent rubbbing. vents nicely. sleeve pocket also good feature

Rated 1 out of 5 by mugwamp Low-end-gear, seems to run small
This jacket has nice clean lines, very simple, spartan features. I am usually a medium, this jacket runs small especially for kayaking - would need a large if I would have kept it. I bought mine for multi-use trail run, hike, etc in damp conditions, not just kayaking. The fabric appears to be vinyl coated nylon, not breathable, so forget about it as a multi-use shell. If you're an occaisional fair weather kayaker or want to look like one, this jacket is a low-end affordable alternative. Returned mine and will get something technically better & versatile (& more $$$'s ; )
