Highly recommend!
I bought this for an upcoming trip and have been wearing it a ton! I live in Minnesota (unpredictable weather) and it’s been great for spring. It’s very lightweight and flexible so you don’t feel like you’re wearing a stiff jacket on top of layers. I am in between sizes (M+L) and got a medium which is the perfect fit.

Cute but big
Not the best fit for me as a petite female. Hope they offer petite sizes in the future. Otherwise cute, broad in shoulders.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Love it. I wanted it for layering. Enough room to wear bulky sweatshirts under but thin enough to wear under another coat for the -8 degree weather we’re in.

Bessie is the Best
The Bessie Packable Jacket is perfect in every way - ideal for running errands, warm but not overly bulky and stylish. The fit of the small was spot on for me (5' 4" 125lbs). A much more elevated quilted jacket in comparison to my Patagonia Nano Puff. It is perfect for the city or the mountains.

Love this jacket!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a cute jacket! Lightweight but easy to layer. Keeps out the wind and water pretty well and the hood is big to keep me warm.

perfect every-day jacket
It's a shame they're discontinuing this, this is my everyday and will be my travel jacket due to the versatility of packing it. I get compliments everytime I wear it too!
I sized up to small to layer, but could've done an XS
