Well-fitting jacket, but too technical for city wear...

By Seattle Gal Ranked #59 - Women's Rain Jackets October 28, 2011

I was looking for a trenchcoat-style rainjacket that I could wear to work and around the city, which would look a little nicer than your average raincoat but still keep me dry. I'm sure this jacket would do a great job on keeping-me-dry part, but it was a bit more technical than what I wanted. The fabric is quite noisy and it's definitely a rain shell (unlined), not a trench coat. If you want a casual piece that will keep you dry around town, this is it. Flattering fit is a bit fitted around the waist to give it a nice shape. But if you want a raincoat for more professional city use, this is probably not your coat.

Size note: I'm 5'8'', busty but otherwise fairly slim, and I usually wear a M or L in Patagonia (M if a relaxed fit, L if more trim fitting). The Medium in this coat fit me well, with room for a layer or two underneath. I'd recommend sizing down if you're in between sizes.
