Amazon EssentialsWomen's Lightweight Long-Sleeve Full-Zip Water-Resistant Packable Hooded Puffer Jacket

I really needed something in between a sweatshirt and my heavy winter coat for those milder but still chilly days. I always have a very hard time finding jackets. I am tall and have long arms. Most jackets fit like a belly shirt with 3/4 sleeves. Not this one! The jacket sits right at my hips which is perfect and the sleeves actually come down to my wrists! It’s relatively warm. I usually wear a hoodie anyways, so with one hoodie and the jacket, I’m comfortable to about 30 degrees. If I later two sweatshirts, I can stand a smidge colder. But that’s perfect because that’s why I bought it. I’ve got my big thick coat for when it’s really cold. This jacket is also very lightweight and can be stuffed into the little bag that comes with it, so if you are out and need to take it off, you don’t have to schlep a big bulky coat. It’s also pretty decent with being water resistant. It’s NOT a rain coat, so if you wear it in a downpour, you will still get soaked. But for a day when it’s drizzly, it does a good job keeping me dry. The hood fits really well and actually stays put too. One other thing, I like the material. It’s not one of those fabrics that list sounds and feels scratchy. It’s nice and soft and slick, but it’s not that kind of material that falls apart if you look at it funny either.Overall, a really fantastic lightweight jacket, especially if you are tall or have long arms.

The neon pink is beautiful in person. Fit- DO NOT SIZE DOWN, especially if you plan to layer at all. This is a lightweight puffer, and definitely not for frigid conditions. I tried to fit it in the bag it supposedly packs into... even with someone helping me we couldn't do it. However, it easily stuffed into a 3/4 full large backpack, so you can squish it down much better than a big puffer coat.

so I did not expect to like this as much as I do. I got the cream one and its almost a little gray/stone colored in person like theres not much warmth to it. I brought it on my recent trip to florida and it was perfect, in light rain I did not need a separate rain jacket (I mean it was drizzling not heavy raining) the packable feature made it easy to throw in my backpack so I never had to carry it around if I didnt want to. The weird color even grew on me after a while because it is a true neutral and it matched all my stuff. I totally recommend this. I did size up so I could layer a sweater under it when I needed to.

Amazon added a feature where you can put in your weight and other details and it will recommend a size for you. It recommended between a medium and a large for me. I wanted a snug fit so I got a medium. It did fit snugly like I want it. My weight varies between 130 and 150 pounds and I am now at the higher end of my weight. I am petite, 53, and big chested. I found the torso to be a tiny bit long, but that isn't a big deal for the price. Also my backside is a bit big and the jacket reaches a tiny bit onto it past my hips because of the longer torso. Rolling up the bottom a tiny bit shortens the torso and keeps the jacket off of my backside where it is too tight. I don't really like the color, but I was trying to spend as little as possible on this jacket so I got the cheapest color, which is probably the least desirable.Lots of people have asked about the weight of this jacket and have not gotten an answer. I put the jacket in a box to make it easier to weigh as it kept on coming unfolded, and then I subtracted the weight of the box from the total weight. I got 400 g for the medium jacket, 8 g for the travel bag, and 3 g for the clip making a total of 411 g for the entire set up. You would think that they would advertise the weight but they don't. You can see the shipping weight, but that is the weight of the entire package instead of the weight of the jacket. I will add a bit to the shipping week to make sure there is enough leeway. I have not been able to get it to fit in a travel bag. If you can get it to fit there I would encourage you not to store it in its travel bag because jackets and sleeping bags should not be stored in a compressed state, especially synthetic ones. I have tried really hard and can't do it. I'm not sure if I really need its travel back. I'm not an expert, but I believe it would be fine to put it in a backpack uncompressed and then use the compression straps as necessary. It is a huge like a sleeping bag where it could be helpful to have a stuff sack.I believe that if you are using this jacket as part of a proper layering system, you could be fine down to 20°. Perhaps if you were wearing thermal underwear you would be fine a bit lower.. I was just thinking of having it with a moisture wicking long sleeve shirt well actively moving when making my 20° estimate. Without actively moving I would estimate you would need a light weight pullover fleece to get that same 20° and if you started moving with that set up you could get to 10° perhaps. Perhaps with thermal underwear, the shirt over it, the fleece pullover, and then this jacket you could make it below 0°. It depends a lot on whether you are moving, what else you are wearing, and how cold you get. A lot of people are asking though so I thought I would try to estimate. With a sleeping bag it is a lot easier to get a temperature rating because someone is just sleeping. For something over 50° though, I think it might get too hot and it would be better to have a pullover fleece. I don't get cold that easily though. It would be interesting to see what others think of my estimates.I don't really know The purpose of the clip. The instructions also seem to indicate that you can wash it just the way you would wash any other type of clothing, but water resistant jackets normally need to be washed with a special detergent to maintain their waterproofing properties so I'm a bit confused about that. The only other problem I have with the jacket is that I wish it were a bit more breathable, but most jackets of this style have that problem. If your other clothing is breathable I think it would be fine. If I paid $300 for this jacket I would bump the rating down to three stars, but because I paid $30 for this jacket, the rating is four stars.

I scoured the reviews to help me with which size to choose, so hope my review helps you. My jacket in bright red has just arrived and I am absolutely stunned that it fits well, after trying on many more expensive versions which didn't fit. I'm a UK size 12 on top, 36C, and went for the M-L. On the actual jacket it says 'medium'. It fits well, and for £25 you cannot go wrong. Ok, it's polyester and it's not going to be filled with duck down, but for something to throw on in the autumn or spring to pop to the supermarket or walk the dog, it's a really good buy.

I'm wearing a 2x Amazon Essentials Women's Lightweight Water-Resistant Packable Hooded Puffer Jacket. I bought this jacket for myself because I have thick arms. I LOVE it. it shows my figure very well with no complaints. My jacket is true to size, It has one pocket on the left side of the jacket deep enough to leave your cell phone, a small snack or a wallet. It has a hoodie for rainy and cold days. On the outside of the jacket it has pockets on the left and the right side. Any questions? feel free to ask🙂

Jacket arrived today so not been out in it but have tried it on and it fits really well. I’m size 12 and got medium and can fit thick jumper under jacket. Really lightweight. Jacket on sale at time of buying and think it’s worth the £19.20. Only disappointment is the bag is far too small and no way the jacket will fold away into it so if that’s your main reason for buying I wouldn’t bother.

This is a great close fitting jacket. The design is fitted so if anyone wants a looser style go up a size.I’m a size 14 & bought a Large .The jacket is well made of good quality, cosy but light weight.Just great for transferring to Spring !

I use it as much as I can 😂 to be honest. And the Color still doesn’t change. I’ve washed and dried it in the drier. It doesn’t shrink or transfer colour. I love it
