“The xs sizing was great for me (I'm 5'0 and wanted something which fit loosely enough for an insulation layer to fit underneath), and it feels impervious to even storm conditions. It doesn't pack down quick as lightly or thinly as my other rain shell, but it's not bad at alll in the regard; it will be a great shoulder-season rain shell, even hear in the northeast. The material inside is not a liner, it is laminated to the backside of jacket material, but it is slippery enough to stick to me like some other shells have. I also like the back flap: the button magnets which help it flip up to disappear double as a little weight to hold the flap in place when it is extended. But as others have noted, the ventillation through the pockets is an odd and frustrating design; for the price, I was surprised it did not have pit zips, instead, especially because it has such a multiplicty of zippers. I find myself unzipping the vents instead of the pockets by mistake. I also wish the sleeves opened wider for some ventillation when needed. When the velcro at the cuffs is undone it barely opens the sleeve at all.”
“Everything I could want in a women’s specific winter cycling jacket! I’m 5’4’’ and the XS fits great (I can fit a small down jacket underneath for the really cold days)!”
