What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise this lightweight jacket for its exceptional packability, comfort, and versatility in variable weather. Many highlight how it folds compactly, feels almost weightless when worn, and easily stows in a small bag or pocket. Reviewers consistently report wearing it successfully in cool mornings, drizzle, and light rain while remaining breathable and comfortable. The true-to-size fit, three pockets, and reflective details receive frequent appreciation, with many noting it layers well over other garments. A few customers mention the thin fabric lacks expected durability or warmth, and some find the hood fit restrictive or the price steep. Overall, most consider it an essential travel and everyday layer.

Nice but “crinkly”
Used for: Travel, Casual or Every Day
Nice jacket but it has a crinkly hand that would make noise when I walked. Too bad because I like jackets that stow in a pocket. Bought navy since it was the only jacket that wasn’

Not for me
Weight: 200-210 lbs
Height: 5'3"
Size Purchased: 2X
Used for: Travel
Much thinner fabric than I expected and tight across the shoulders, so I couldn’t layer it. I returned it. It is well-made, so that’s why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.

Lightweight and useful
I have not worn the jacket yet, but I’m sure that it is just what I need. It’s incredibly lightweight, has a hood, and packs away in its own pocket. It will be great for a light sh

Great jacket!
I bought a navy blue jacket. I usually take a Medium but had to exchange it for a large. It ran small! It's light and a great rain jacket too.

This is a very lightweight windbreaker jacket. I am 5'7" and found this jacket to be too short for my liking. I returned it and ordered a different jacket in a tall size.

I didn’t live this. It is very thin and the fabric didn’t have a nice feel. I ended up sending it back and getting another windbreaker from LLBean that I do love.
