Very Nice Jacket

Nice, very light weight jacket. True to size (got 3X for room), looks good, and the zipper works great!

Zipper is delicate & un-repairable

The coat itself holds up well & is good for its water resistance. The problem is with the tiny, delicate zipper. The tip that inserts into the slider broke & made the zipper impossible to use. On top of that, it’s all very fine, molded plastic, so there’s no way to repair it as you would a typical jacket zipper. Very disappointing after years of using great equipment from OR.

Passed the Scotland Test!

I took this jacket to Scotland the end of March and it was perfect! It would be pouring rain and windy, and with a long sleeve t-shirt, cashmere sweater, and this jacket, I didn't mind the weather at all! In fact, I should have left all of the other jackets I brought with me home...LOL! At least I didn't have to pay to bring the extra jackets! British Airways allowed me two free checked bags with premium economy! Buy it. I plan to keep one in my Oregon life from now on.
