I got this jacket for travel. I wanted something very lightweight and packable (non-bulky), and also a layer of warmth and rain protection with a hood. I also wanted a removable (or foldaway) hood. This jacket met all that criteria, and did it very well. It is also a very attractive style, sporty and with nice details. There are only 2 pockets, but the pockets are large enough for a plane ticket and passport, or to keep your hands warm and dry. A size medium would probably have fit me - I wear a women's size 8 - but I got a large, to wear over layers. I have worn a Spyder ski jacket in the past - they make quality gear. I really like this jacket, and will wear it even when not traveling.Very soft comfortable fabric that unusual for waterproof clothes.Two Zippered vertical pockets. Long enough to cover hips - this is unique length! Long sleeve - covered my hand even when it lifted. Freeze Stripe Print pattern - looks very attractive. No lining. No loop cuff straps, not adjustable cuffs. No mesh pocket bags (as described). True size, I took one size bigger to wear with fleece.I love everything about it: true color and size, slimming effect and good length! I live in CA. In the winter, there are many warm rainy days. I always wanted light rain jacket which will be covering my hips. Good price, quick delivery! I am very happy with this purchase! Very satisfied!Love this jacket! Its a great windbreaker and with the fit you can dress it up or down.Sleek, and fits just so... I love the flattering cut that I hope rain will just roll right off of... great hoodie with a bill that extends out above your face. It seems this should do a good job :)Fabulous .size to fit ...good qualityLove the jacket it's fabulous and looks good on
