Cole Haan Women's Travel Packable Jacket

Cole Haan Women's Travel Packable Jacket. 

Nice versatile jacket - packed on a winter journey to Chile and I wore this most everyday over a couple of layers (temps ranged 50's-60's). After I tried it on at home, I was afraid it won't "breathe" sufficient as a result of there is no venting, however I'm completely happy to say I used to be improper, it was great. Packed it in my carry-on tote bag and it popped out presentable instantly (not tremendous crinkly wanting). I can attest that it was great in high winds. It is skinny, but it is going to be perfect for fall climate earlier than the larger poofy coats come out for winter. Type goes nicely with jeans or with dressier casual outfits - the flexibility is what tipped me over the edge on this jacket and satisfied me to order it. It is onerous to discover a packable rain coat that doesn't appear to be it came from an outside/camping store.

Rain: Used the jacket while touring outside in the rain all day and it was great. Since I was in a dense tourist space, it was easier to navigate by way of the crowds with out my umbrella, so I used the hood for the first time. Posted photographs of the hood, hope it helps some. The hood stayed up perfectly, and there are snaps worn below the chin to assist keep it up, however I might see the way it would possibly blow back if a giant gust of wind got here at you.

Sizing: I debated between ordering a medium or large. After reading one person comment on one other site in regards to the arm holes being on the small facet, I opted for the large. After receiving the jacket and trying it on, I disagree in regards to the arm holes being anything however normal. Jacket is true to measurement, so order your ordinary size. Personally, I was glad I sized up as the additional area allowed me to put on multiple layers underneath and still be capable to zip up (I am a medium at my waist but large chested). Plus the adjustable waist tie within the again helps to maintain it from looking frumpy and too large everywhere else.

Pockets are nice and deep - I was capable of stash a small digital camera and nonetheless have room for my hands. The depth allowed me not to fear about anything falling out when seated, in addition they are all zippered which is a pleasant touch.

Opportunity for improvement: wish there was an interior pocket to stash a passport away from pickpockets.

General, it is an amazing jacket to cowl your bases. The style versatility permits this to be the one jacket you carry on journeys if you're packing gentle, however I look forward to using it around town too.

This jacket is precisely what I wanted. It fits completely and looks fantastic. You'll be able to adjust the match by the tie in the back. I used to be involved concerning the tie wanting cheap, however it doesn't. I have saved it in the pouch and it looks great after you take it out, not wrinkled at all. The colour is nice and I've gotten lots of compliments. I have long arms and the sleeves will not be quick on me. I can wear a sweater underneath it and it nonetheless fits great. It is not cumbersome and the match is very flattering.

This raincoat is precisely what it says in the description: light-weight, for travel. I was upset in the model of the neckline which wasn't all that visible within the photo and the truth that it was SO lightweight. I stored it somewhat than despatched it back, however.
