Arc'teryx Epsilon SV Jacket - Women's - 2006 BCS

Love the coat for rain if you do not care what you look like. A big chested lady just does not look good because the pockets are in the wrong spot.

I Love this jacket, the sleeves are a little short and it could be a bit warmer, but other than that I love it and couldn't be happier!

very lightweight jacket. water repellency works well. if you're in a colder climate, you would definitely need another layer underneath, but it's comfortable for me in the mid to high 60's. it's advertised as moderately warm on the arcteryx website, but i suppose that depends on your definition of moderate. i'm 5'5" 110 lbs. and the xs fits well. nice looking jacket.

Though I haven't been able to test this jacket in cold weather or hard rain, I have been very happy with its performance in light rain and a warm climate. The inside of the jacket is fairly soft, so unlike most water resistant jackets, it feels comfortable against bare skin. (I hate wearing a typical shell over a tank top in the summer...that sticky feeling on your arms is no fun). I have been out in it twice in light rain and the water has beaded up and I haven't gotten wet. I'm hoping that holds true in harder rain or snow. I'm 5'4" and about 112 lbs. and the small fits well. I probably could have gone with the xs (I have other Arc'teryx jackets in xs) but I wanted to be able to put layers underneath for skiing. Oh...the flame color is bright (think safety orange).
