Ferrosi Hooded Jacket - Women's

Great jacket - until the zipper busted

I loved this jacket. I mostly wore it around town. It was perfect -- light weight, stretchy, and water resistant while still being breathable. Three months in, the little plastic piece that holds the bottom of the zipper together broke off. So disappointing.

Good gear any good experience

Nice product for wind and water proof

Hiking jacket

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

Medium

Very comfortable for those early cool morning hikes and breathes well when it warms up.

Bring Back Old Version

This is an awesome jacket but the new version has too many changes compared to the older version. It's missing the thumb holes; the hood was more adjustable previously with 2 adjusting straps in the front; the zipper pull is smaller and not as strong. I own 4 of these in the older version and was hoping to get another color but the new version has changed too much. I'll wait for another update before purchasing another one.

Great lightweight jacket

This is the perfect jacket for hiking on drizzly days. I weigh 140 and I'm 5'6", and a size small fit perfectly with room for a slim layer underneath.

Bring Back Old Version with Thumb Holes

I have 4 of the older version of this jacket and I love them. I ordered this new version and the quality has declined. The zipper pulls are now smaller and are lower quality. This is new version also does not have thumb holes. Bring back the thumbholes! The fit is also different compared to the older versions. Please bring back the fit/zippers/thumbholes of the 2021 version!

I live in this coat all summer

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love this coat for spring and summer weather. It breathes very well, but still provides some wind and rain resistance. It's very abrasion resistant: I wear it on every alpine climbing trip and it has held up great. I really appreciate the drop pockets in the new version.

Love it

Almost perfect

I really like this jacket, very comfortable, easy to move in, lightweight, pretty much great overall. I have had it for a year (purchased in March 2022) great for hiking, traveling, running errands. My one CON is the cuffs of the sleeves. There is no cuff, either elastic or Velcro that I can tighten to keep the sleeves from hanging over my hands. I find the sleeves get in the way on this jacket unlike other athletic/active jackets I have. I am constantly pushing the sleeves up or I roll the cuff edge up to get them out of my way. I just checked if the 2023 model might have been updated to improve the sleeves but it doesn't appear so. It would be the perfect jacket with this improvement! (A note on fit - I wrote a little large. I am typically a Small but in OR jackets/shirts I am between S and XS, the S fits at my hip, the XS fits at my shoulders/chest. I am 5'5 120 lb, athletic build. I purchased the Ferrosi in XS but it is a little snug at the hip in jeans, not in running tights.)

Great jacket for outdoor activities

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I use this jacket when I'm playing pickle ball when it's a little chilly outside.
