So cute!
This is just as cute on as it is in the pictures. I am typically a medium in athleta jackets, so that is what I ordered. I am 5'8'' and 125 lbs. I could maybe get by with a small, but like the fact that I could put a sweater or fleece under this, so will keep the medium. It is very light weight, so wouldn't provide much warmth, just wind protection. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet. I live in WIsconsin and we are having the winter that just won't end. The sleeves are plenty long, but I prefer that to something too short. Really cute. So glad I purchased this!
Perfect solution for rainy day travel
Loved the style of this anorak; color is great, and the green trim boosts your spirits a bit on a dark day. I am 5'4" and 144 lbs; if I weighed about 10 pounds less, the medium would be the best fit, but L works great for me as I was looking for something a bit longer than the usual rain ... ruching tightens up the upper body fit so that it does not look baggy. It passed the 17-year old girl approval test, so the styling truly must be as good as I think it is. It is light and packable, but substantial enough to be effective; perfect for travel as it rebounds well from being packed.
I love this!
I am a 50-something woman who is young at heart. 5'4" and 120 pounds, I bought the size small and think it's one of the cutest jackets I've ever purchased. I found it on sale online and wasn't sure about the color. Well, it's perfect, as is the fit. It's lightweight and I love the hood zipped into the collar.
Perfect raincoat
I searched the Web for an (affordable) raincoat that was lightweight enough for travel. I fell in love with the photo of this one. I RARELY order clothing from the Web - I'm very small and even XS are usually too big. This raincoat is perfect in every way - very stylish, fits as if it were made for me - I'm 5'1" 100 lbs. I couldn't be happier with it.
Best Anorak ...
The shock cord anorak ... bought from Athleta recently is one of the most comfortable and stylish jackets I have ever owned. I absolutely LOVE it!!! Would love to have it in Black too:))) Its great to wear to the club for my pilates class or just out running errands.
LOVE IT!
I am 5'7" and 150lbs and usually wear mediums but the medium was HUGE, but the small fits perfectly. The length is great and it's the perfect weight for a summer coat. I'm excited to use it as a travel coat because I think it will roll up easily and travel well in airports. I've already gotten a bunch of compliments!
Great ...
I usually don't complete reviews mostly because I don't have time however, when I purchased this ... read a lot of the reviews and they were really mixed so I wanted to post a review this time. I ordered a medium in this ... because I usually take a medium as I like jackets a little big (I wear medium in tops but sometimes small). I am 5'5" and about 135 pounds. However, it was very long on me and very large all over. So I ordered the small and hung onto the medium so I could compare them. The small fits great. It is a little long but based on the picture it is supposed to. This is our rainy season down here in GA and I have already worn this many times. I love it. I have looked for a long time for a cute rain coat and this is just perfect. I love it! So, I would recommend you order 1 size down.
Cute ...
Cute ... travel and boating. I haven't tested it in the rain yet! It would have fit better if the chest detail came down a bit further and the cinching was in the waist. But it still works for me (36C, 5' 6", 145). I got a medium in the purple. I love the color, and it took up very little room in my suitcase. Lots of pockets and handy hood. Recommend!
Too tight in chest for size small, waiting for medium to come in stock!
I LOVE this ... but PLEASE Athleta if you are reading this order more gray in medium! It is not in the stores or online and obviously black is not as popular especially this time of the year.I have been wanting something like this for our trip to Europe in the spring and fall. I take a size small in most brands, especially jackets, but was going to order a medium anyway for layering underneath (like wearing a sweater). I tend to get hot easily, so this seemed the perfect wind breaker and light ... take with me I could easily fold up in my tote. It fits perfectly and looks pretty good all the way up until I try to zip it up to my chin that is where it surprisingly does not zip comfortable over a small c size chest. Of course they seem to never have a medium in stock of the gray. They ran out and I wrote the company to please order more. But when they did they sold out of the medium so fast I could not get one and now have to send this small back I gambled on and hope more come in. If you are a size C or even a B consider the medium and not the small. The other thing I marked a star off for is it really does not hang nicely like it does on the model photos at the bottom. You have to mess with it. I am not too concerned about this but it is poor representation of the product.
Too long
Wanted to love this ... but it's headed back. The purple color was very nice and while the material was a lot lighter than I expected, it would have been a great addition to my wardrobe and a good travel and layering piece. It was too long for my body though (I'm 5'3") and felt too tent like. Please consider offering pieces like this in petites too! Also, it has a full length zipper (in addition to the buttons), but it doesn't unzip from the bottom at all - a missed opportunity in a ... length.
bulky
Bought this ... because of upcoming travel. Especially attracted to the chest fit and design. Disappointed in the fit below this. Kept it because of the top.
