Women's Xtreme Lite Waterproof Rain Jacket

So I already had one of these and really liked it. Wanted to order another to keep in my kayak crate so thought I would pick another color. Mistake. Despite the description clearing saying "Women's Xtreme Lite Packable..." , the color you choose determines whether the sizing is Men's or Women's. I ordered the same size as my first jacket in a new color and it swallowed me. Could not figure out why. Retuned it then read the Q&A where someone pointed out that the color determines if it is a women's or men's size. Blue/Pink and Smoke/Turquoise are women's sizes. Smoke/Hi-vis and Blu/Hi-vis are men's sizes. The jacket is great... would have given it 5 stars but am still annoyed about the description saying "Women's" when what you get sent is a men's size in some colors.

Mine soaks through in about 30 minutes in a downpour so I pair it with a FroggToggs poncho (also over my pack) in that situation.. I’m dry as heck with that combo. It doesn’t breathe very well but at least when I get to camp I’m dry and my sleeping system is dry. This is the cheapest rain jacket you can find and it works great for the price. I would like to have some pit zips but that’s a luxury. This will keep you dry for hours in a light rain. Not to mention how durable it is. It’s such thin material it feels like it would rip if my cat brushed by me. However, I’ve worn it on the Appalachian with brush and trees snagging it and mine has held up surprisingly well. I love the price point and the light weight. You can’t go wrong for the price

Way too big. Probably would make a decent lightweight just in case it rains backpacking option but the sizing was off for me. In women’s clothing I wear a small to xsmall depending on the brand. I got a small in this jacket and it was huge on me. Would have been better off wearing a trash bag or poncho. It’s not a full featured jacket and doesn’t have the quality, bells or whistles and feel of more expensive options. Material seemed waterproof but probably not breathable and no pit zips. Returned and didn’t exchange since it doesn’t come in a smaller size.

Bought it for a very rainy multi-day hike where I needed to pack small in a backpack - have had Frogg Toggs before. Jacket zipper stuck in fabric continuously, which is no fun when it's pouring out and you can't get the jack zipped up. Otherwise it was water-proof with a good hood. Narrow fit on body, so a little tight if you're wearing layers or need to get gloves, etc. in and out of the side pockets. Looks nice, but the quality isn't durable. It is lightweight and packable, so I'll keep it to toss in a suitcase for trips just in case of rain but will invest in better jacket for hiking.

I pack this rainjacket into it's pocket and keep it in my handbag at all times. It's come in handy many times. It's very light and completely keeps the rain out. My only annoyance is that the women's sizes all come in girly colors. I bought the silver with blue lining and it lends me a sort of space suit look that isn't very attractive. However, I only care about its waterproof abilities, inside pockets and lightness. I'm very glad to have replaced my heavy, non packable North Face rainjacket with this barely noticeable one.

Like: Nice and light at 6.5 oz for women's size small. The hood adjusts well and does not cover my eyes, the sleeves have velcro tabs so as not to hang past my finger tips. Pockets are spacious and have zippers. It is warm on a cold morning. Can't testify to waterproof as I have not had it in the rain yet. Cons: It looks fragile and is see thru (so don't use it as a cover-up when doing laundry). Time will tell on the fragile part. Overall: It is a good value.

Only problem is that women should pay more attention to hip size as the zipper is a little weak. May have to buy a bigger size if you are larger there and/or plan to put anything IN the pockets. I had to open the zippers on my pockets and can not put anything in them.

Nice jacket, seems well made. On amazon it is listed as a man's jacket so I ordered what I wear in mens sizes. Once I received it the tag said women's. So it is a bit snug. Not going to bother with sending it back. It's too much trouble, I just won't zip it up.

Light and compact fits great good waterproof

awesome product
