Cut is Short & Wider Than Expected

By Aiko Yonamine Ranked #591 - Women's 3-in-1 Jackets February 26, 2008

It broke my heart that the XS was too wide for my slender/athletic frame (5'2" 100 lbs). The jacket appeared slim on the image but on the actual body, it is much bulkier than it appeared. On brisk windy days, the bulk / extra room didn't offer much efficient warmth and inhibited freer movement. The two front pockets could be deeper to keep items more secure. On the up side, the key clip on the right front pocket helped with keeping my keys from falling out and getting swallowed in the snow. Internal pocket kept my cellphone secure; offering easy access to a ringing phone; my Classic video iPod can fit into this pocket. Pit zips offered major relief after running in the fields with our endless energy Golden puppy! I would've given this jacket 5 stars if it is was more of a performance or flattering feminine fit and if the liner zipped in vs. snaps. Snaps are not very secure, hence sustainability is questionable. With the snaps, the liner sloppily slips out when putting on or taking off the jacket. It would be a major plus to be able to stow the hood round the neck when not in use. When not in use, can you tune out that hood flopping in the wind? Just see!
