Cielo Rain Parka - Men's

I recently bought the Cielo Rain Parka for women for myself and loved it so much. My husband admired it too, and so for Fathers Day, I ordered him one, only to discover the men’s version is missing several of the features that makes the women’s version such a winner. First, the men’s version has no vent across the back, to let moisture escape. Second, the men’s version does not have a double headed zipper, so it can be unzipped either from the bottom or the top, as the women’s has. Third, the men’s does not have the attractive contrast zipper color that is so stylish on the women’s jacket, opting instead for a placket with annoying Velcro. In short, the men’s parka is really nothing special. Too bad they didn’t repeat the neat features from the women’s version.

I got it without noticing it was for men. Actually it fits me very well. I like how simple but elegant it looks and functional as well. It can be packed in a small size. Overall, I like this coat.

This is an excellent rain parka. I made the right choice. Thank you.

The jacket fits smaller than the Cielo rain jacket. It’s tight aroubd the shoulders and armpit so you won't be able to wear a sweater or thicker clothing underneath.

Haven't had it out in the rain yet, but it looks like a very quality-built rain jacket. I wanted a jacket that was longer to protect more of my trousers and this fits the bill. Only minor comment is on the placement of the velcro on the wrist enclosures. It doesn't allow it to be tightened around my wrist enough without having a large flap overhang.

Both 2. Size L and XlL abd the fit were good. Roomy enough to wear over business suit
