2nd Review
This is my second review - but, I have 3 of these, so that is fair, right? These jackets ROCK! They fit true to size- I am 5'5, 116#'s, 34B- XS fits perfectly as a performance ... have been exercising in these in 0 degree, windy weather for about 60-90 minutes at a time and I am NEVER cold! Athleta, please don't change style, fabric or cut and more colors, please!! Worth every penny!
Great ...
Loved the jackets but got one size smaller than normal.
GREAT ...
Love everything about this ... perfect fit- if you would like room for extra layers- size up. ATHLETA, PLEASE DON"T CHANGE STYLE OR FIT!!!!!!! It is a performance ... therefore, it is a perfect fit for activities. Please don't stop making this ... add more colors, please!
LOVE this ...
This ... everything and more. I keep checking to see if the Strawberry color becomes available in my size as I'd love to have two of these jackets. I wear mine for running outside in snow, rain, cold weather and it is perfect! Based on other reviews I ordred a size up and it fits fine but the sleeves are a little long. If the other color becomes available I would order my usual size medium. I hope Athleta offers this again next year!
Torn
I love the fit, style and color of this ... which I bought as an alternative/replacement to my slightly bulky rain shell that I layer up and wear on my daily bike ride to work. The sleeves and torso are a tad longer than most fitted jackets, which is great for the riding position. The cut is flattering while offering plenty of protection from the elements. I ordered the turquoise and LOVE the color the reflective details are super bright (I always want more of them though); thank you for making a performance ... that's not black or some other dark color! It's definitely a COLD weather piece, like 40 or less with a thin layer or short sleeve underneath. Normally this would be fine, however, it doesn't wick moisture or vent at all and within 5 minutes I'm cooking inside and in 30 minutes, when I get to work, I'm clammy and damp everywhere and so is the inside of the ... I've taken to turning it inside out to air dry when I take it off. When it does rain on my ride in, I can't tell if I'm damp because the jackets not water resistant or if it's my body moisture. I'm torn because I love that I'm comfortable, colorful, stylish outside but hot and damp inside when I wear this. Still haven't decided whether I keep or exchange this one as I'm disappointed in the performance but love the style.
