Esla Hooded Coat - Women's

Love it

Size Bought:

Xs

I got this a couple months ago and it’s so cozy! It’s very warm. Fits well, although a little long in the arms, but I am petite. The fleece is very soft.

Very disappointed in BC. The coat arrived used. I decided to return it for a refund.

received a used jacket

The jacket is as advertised. I bought a larger than usual size based on previous reviews. My issue is that the jacket I received was clearly previously worn. There was a crumpled receipt in the pocket from a Petco store - purchase made a month ago. Given the price for a relatively light winter jacket, I obviously expected to receive a new item and instead got a used one. Customer service offered a free exchange, but I declined to avoid the hassle of returning it and waiting for a new one. I pushed and asked for at least a partial refund. In the end, I was credited $15. Icky experience,

Even better than I thought!

This is the perfect midweight coat for fall, early spring, or milder winter days. I love that it covers the bum without being a bulky parka, and it has so many great features. The Sherpa lining is throughout the whole coat which was a great surprise, since based on the product pictures I thought it was only on the hood and neck areas. It does run a tad small. When i tried it on with the bulky sweater I was wearing it was a little tight across the chest and shoulders, but it will be fine with a thinner sweater and base layer. The side vent zippers are also great if you need a little extra room around the hips. I love the deep inside pockets as well as zippered outside pockets, the camel color is gorgeous, and it is extremely packable. This was a splurge for me but I am so happy with it!

No regrets

I wanted a lighter weight winter coat that could pass off as slightly dressy to wear to work. I wear patterned dresses to work and church so I wanted a neutral color. I also have hot flashes, so I wanted a “car coat”, in case I get stranded on the highway or have time for a walk on my lunch break. Not too heavy or light. This is it. Expectations fulfilled!

Wanted to like this jacket....

I really wanted to like this jacket. The features are terrific - warm lining, side zips for extra room when sitting or more airflow, great neck coverage, good hood, warm pockets and water resistant. Unfortunately, the chest area and under arm construction weren't true to the measurements on the site. According to the size chart, I would be large. I ordered the large and had to give it to my daughter who is more narrow than me. I ordered the XL thinking that would resolve the issue. It didn't. The body of the jacket was way too huge and I had the same issue across my chest and under the arms. I have to return it and am disappointed. I need a stylish lightweight jacket for temps in the upper 30s and 40s that covers my behind.

Even nicer than I expected

This coat is stylish and comfortable. It's warm, but not super warm. Perfect for fall...or winter in Arizona in my case. I wear a size small top, bought this in a medium. I can comfortably layer a bulky sweater underneath for more warmth. Backcountry also had a better price than Prana and free shipping so I'm pretty pleased.
