Great price - Great jacket!
My review on this product is relative to the price point. So FOR this price point, this coat is perfect. And it’s still a pretty great coat in general. It’s warm, not bulky (but not quite as light weight as a Patagonia of the same category would be), and it fits nicely. I am 5’7”, about 160lb, and curvy. 34DDD and wide hips. Ordered a medium. I have enough room underneath for a thin thermal and a hoodie or lightweight fleece pull-over. So if you want to fit multiple thicker layers underneath, I might size up. This will be a nice winter coat, great for camping, and perfect for Alaska in the evening during warmer months. Con- it is polyester stuffing, not down. I wasn’t looking to invest in a expensive down jacket at the moment as we live in a mostly warm climate so it wasn’t worth it for me. This is a win and I would recommend. Haven’t tested out the water resistance claim, but will edit when I do.

Great lightweight yet warm jacket.
I bought this jacket for a trip to Scotland in early March. It was the perfect jacket - easy to pack, and surprisingly warm. The white was a nice slightly off-white that looked great with all of my outfits and it also stayed dry during the few rainy days we encountered. It was so nice not to have to lug a bulky jacket overseas.

Somewhat small, order one size up.
Got this for my daughter who is 13 and a medium fits her. She is averaged sized for her age, usually wears anything from size 0-4 in clothing depending on the brand. It also fits me, however, pulls on my back as I reach my arms forward in a size medium. I usually take size 4-6. I'm 5'6" and jacket dosen't feel too short. The pink is more like a hot pink than light pink. Ended up exchanging for the ivory or light beige (can't remember what the color was called), really nice color and a lot more practical since it can be worn with pretty much any other color.

Exactly What I Wanted...Fits Perfectly
I live in a warm climate but needed a warm jacket that I can wear on Holiday to Norway. I have been worrying about how to fit one in my suitcase and still have room for other items. I also am very allergic to feathers/down. I decided to buy this jacket because of it's ability to be rolled up into a packable ball, the price and it is not down. I cannot believe what a nice jacket this is! It is lite weight so it is not for Antarctica, but that is what I need. I am 5'5", weigh 152 lbs. and have a large waist and chest. The XL fits perfectly and will allow for a couple of lite layers underneath. The gray color is very nice. Best of all, it does not have long monkey arms!! I bought another coat with no hood for the warmer days and it fits perfectly too. I would recommend this product and now don't have to feel silly walking around a FL airport in May with a parka. Instead, I'll use the rolled up ball as a travel pillow!

Nice for the cost
This is a nice affordable jacket, but....I read all the reviews and decided to size up from a XL to an XXL. It’s too big and I’m sending back for an XL. I could overlap it at the front zipper about 6” and it was too big in the shoulders. I hope the next size down is not too small. It fit as expected as for a XXL on me despite the reviews. As a follow up with the XL, it is a perfect size. I love this jacket for my go to. For the price you can’t beat it. The hood has came in handy for wind and rain and I like how light weight and comfortable it is, especially when driving.

A tad big, but you can get it in the bag!
So first, to address some reviews on whether the jacket fits in the little travel bag -- I ordered a small, and though I couldn't squish it in myself, my boyfriend, through very tight rolling, was able to make it fit pretty easily. I took it out again afterwards and found the jacket very wrinkly, so if you care about that, you may want to avoid the travel bag. Overall, though, the jacket is very lightweight, the material is soft, and the color (burgundy) is really pretty. The small is a little big on me (for reference, I'm 5'2, 120 lbs), but not so big I wouldn't wear it and I know I'll appreciate the extra room when I layer over sweaters, other jackets, etc. Overall, I definitely recommend!

Like it
Warm, but not too bulky. Very light. I like it. If you are on the fence about sizing, order up especially if you have hips.

Comfortable and light weight
I was looking for a light jacket that can easily be stuffed into my bag. The price was right on this one so i decided to give it a try. I'm a size 6-8 M-L in tops for reference. I purchased an XL and its a little big but perfect layering and doesn't look bulky. I could have gotten away with a L. This jacket is super comfortable and not restricting at all. The only con about this is its hard to stuff in the supplied tote bag.

Great for the price
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.

Amazon Essentials Women's Lightweight Water-Resistant Packable Hooded Puffer Jacket
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🙂

Perfect for packing.
I bought this jacket for a tour of Morocco. I wanted a jacket that was packable, lightweight, but warm. It snowed in the mountains, I had a jumper on and was warm enough. The bag it comes with is far to small, I gave up trying to fit it in.

Great looking/fitting jacket but bag too small
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.
