Charles River ApparelCharles River Wind & Water-resistant Pullover Rain Jacket (Reg/Ext Sizes)

I bought this jacket mainly for rainy days. I had sizing issues that made me return my first order (Medium) and opted for a size Small. The women’s jacket, in the same style, was sold out in the color black so I tried my chances with the men’s version. So maybe that’s why the sizing was off for me because I’m a woman. My measurements are 36C, 26 waist & 5’0”. I normally wear a small or medium in women’s tops/outerwear. And the small is a bit baggy. I have plenty of room for layering at least two sweaters and a tank top underneath the jacket. When first wearing it, it was huge, looked like the jacket was swallowing me, but then I adjusted the bottom portion where the string is and tightened the hip part. That made it slightly better. I washed and air dried the jacket and now it seems like it’s a good fit for my body. However, the arms are still baggy but I don’t mind. Idk if the jacket shrunk but it looks ok now. (I wash my clothes with warm water, I hung up the jacket to dry) The jacket ends slightly below my butt but if I move a lot or raise my arms, the jacket will also raise and reveal my butt and front. Just putting that out there for anyone who’s planning to wear leggings with the jacket and possibly has camel toe lol. The jacket shields the rain and keeps me warm. The front pockets are a nice size. I just stick my hands or phone in there whenever I’m walking around. The hood part is also a nice size. I personally think I have a big head and this hood covers it well. One flaw would be that the ‘cotton’ (not sure if it is cotton), lining in the inside sheds or transfers to my shirt sometimes. It’s very noticeable when i’m wearing black. Overall, I’m satisfied and would say the jacket was well worth the price. Just a suggestion, there should be an XS (:

I listened to everyone’s opinion and totally ignored it and got my actual size and it was waaay too big. I’m in between a Large and XL because of my big chest (38D) and I like my clothes loose so I expected XL to be perfect since I’ve been sticking to XL sizes lately. Well I had to return it for the L! Large fit perfectly!I got the cardinal color and I bought this for a trip to the national parks. I tried it out by bringing it to my dads lodge (not a cabin but his brotherhood lodge that is ALWAYS cold). I thought I was being over dramatic wearing this sweater but it kept me warm while he was conducting business. And when I walked outside it was only 70 but with the wind it felt like 50-60 and it kept me warm. I am short (5’1) so it went past my butt but it kept me warm!I definitely think that if I wore a sweater underneath and boots this could hold me up through 40-50s weather (which is the goal). The large was still a bit loose and didn’t cling to much which is perfect because you can layer clothes underneath. I really loved the pockets. They have a kangaroo pocket you can shove your hands in and on the pocket there’s a lil piece of Velcro where you can slip in keys/phone to make sure you don’t lose it. I don’t own tons of hoodies so I appreciate these pockets because leggings don’t have pockets but these do and you bet they look cute with black leggings.I have yet to test if they’re water proof but at the lodge I fell asleep on the sleeve and totally drooled on it and it didn’t soak through. I am a big drool monster and surprisingly it didn’t leave a water mark where I drooled. That’s convincing enough for me.

Very good quality. Lined but still light. Good quality materials and excellent workmanship. Very happy with this product. Would buy again in a heartbeat.**update 02/24/19I have had this for well over a year now and it is byfar my favorite jacket that have owned in many years. i have only had one minor problem thats an easy fix. The velcro on the front pocket has come loose from wear and tear. BUT, that is mostly because it is a high quality, very sticky velcro. it takes effort to open and stays closed like you would want it to. Over all, I am extremely pleased. the jacket still looks great, has kept its outstanding color and is very comfortable. its warm enough for chilly nights and cool enough for warm days (not hot days).very happy would buy again and again. if i could give it 20 stars i would. nice job guys...keep it up!

This is the second of these I have purchased (Coaching 2 Softball Teams with different Colors so........) First one I bought about a year ago.. It fit great and was perfect just heavy enough to take the chill off and cut the wind on those windy spring days It also, while not completely water proof, it kept me perfectly dry for the time I was in moderate to light rain. (Never used it in a heavy downpour and have a feeling it would be soaked fairly quickly in those conditions.) I have loved it an worn it ALOT. Still holding up well no busted seams or signs of major wear. I have been very pleased. My new one came in and it is a little more snug than my first. Still and nice product and a good excuse to lose that 5-10 pounds I have been meaning to drop, but it's sizing was different than my first.

This is one of the best rain coats I have ever owned. The inside is a very soft fleece that is super warm and I love the color of it. The front pockets have to be one of my favorite features. The velcro on the kangaroo pocket is good quality and very secure, it’s the perfect place to keep my phone, keys and dog bags when I go hiking. The fit of the coat was a bit bigger which I was ok with because I wanted to be able to fit it over a sweatshirt, however it was also very long. The coat does have an adjustable elastic at the bottom so you can always tighten it so it doesn’t sit so long which is what I did. Overall I highly recommend this coat.

Está afelpada por dentro. impermeable y muy calientita .Muy buena calidad

Enfin trouvé une entreprise qui fait ce genre de vêtement pour les fortes tailles, bravo de penser à ceux qui sont différents. Très efficace et confortable. Bonne grandeur.

Liking it so much that I'm ordering another one but a different color. I weight 250lbs and XXL is a perfect fit. Someone same weight but with a beer belly may need one size larger (if they have it).

Although I have not worn it a huge number of times yet, I really like the quality of this windbreaker. The men's S is a little bigger than expected but I don't mind it being a bit oversized. It does a good job protecting against the east coast rain, even though it claims to only be water resistant not water proof. Great simple jacket.

Best for Spring or Autumn. but with proper undergarment clothing would be great for cross country skiing or other winter activities.
