Charles River Apparel Unisex Color Blocked Pack-N-Go, Men's & Women's Pullover Anorak

I LOVE this jacket! The fabric is sturdy yet pliable, perfect for a carry along, just in case you need something light. It's roomy enough to wear over a sweater on a windy day, too. My favorite part is the fact that it folds up and tucks into it's own front pocket to make a nice little square that's easy to pack into a backpack or other travel bag.

I don't normally write reviews, but I saw several negative ones because it's not "100% waterproof." I really like these jackets! I bought one a couple of years ago, and this is my second one because I liked the first one so well and wanted a different color. That being said, will it protect you in a torrential downpour? No. It will act as a windbreaker, and it will keep drizzle to moderate rain off of you. Will it keep you dry on a 10 mile run? Maybe, but not if it rains hard enough. But, this is a packable jacket. I have a packable jacket from The Northface that cost 5 times as much, and it also won't keep you dry in a hurricane! It's a great product, but you have to temper your expectations with common sense. If you want emergency rain protection in a thunderstorm, find a poncho that you like the style of, or try using a waterproofing treatment on one of these (I've not tried it, but it could help!). If you want a decent jacket that has some rain protection, you could definitely do worse than these!

A little big . But perfect for women who are big busted . Comfortable. Water proof. Light weight. Lining is good .

I was looking for a thin, breathable anorak for hiking and mountain biking. First ride today was 45 degrees F, wore a medium fleece and cotton t-shirt under this. Good: It kept the wind out very well and the roomy kangaroo pouch was great for a swap of sunglasses to clear riding glasses as the sun set. Build quality is good, fit was a true medium with enough room for a warm layer, and the cuff elastic is snug enough to keep the breeze out, but stretchy enough to pull my sleaves up too. Bad: After 40 mins of strenuous riding, I peeled this off and it was absolutely soaked on the inside. 100% my own perspiration condensation. Nice and dry on the outside though. So I imagine this would work pretty well in the rain. Not breathable, and the tiny vents under the arms were ineffectual. Recommended for keeping the rain and wind out, but not recommended for strenuous exercise.

My package this little rain jacket up under my driver seat and now I’m never without a rain jacket when the sudden downpour occurs. Three XL fits perfectly and is a nice style, the material is thick enough to prevent any wind or rain from getting in, but light enough to feel like you could carry it all day without knowing it in your backpack. There’s no heavy lining inside to make you sweat and it folds all up into a pocket very easily I’d buy two if I were you.

Good jacket, reasonable price for the quality. We got size XS neon yellow for my 14 yr old son and it fits him well. (he's 5,5 tall, about 103 lbs)

~ Why do I dread this? Because this is such an incredible jacket that I am concerned that they will sell out and be hard to get if anyone finds out how great this hooded pullover is. The fit is PERFECT. Other reviewers complained [ sorry folks! ] about the fit and sizing information. I order my usual jacket size and when I tried it on, I was surprised that it was a perfect and relaxed fit. However, I can understand why women may be frustrated and, as some stated, this is a men's sizing situation. Not sure what to suggest to the ladies, but it's worth the risk. The quality of the material was superb!! Wow. It has a ruggedly satin texture on the outside and the inside is lined with a clear flexible plastic-vinyl-type material that keeps the rain off of you. It has air holes under the arm pits for ventilation. Quantitatively, this jacket weighs exactly 10.1 ounces making it a very light-weight [ qualitative value ] jacket to wear hiking long-distances [ for me 500 miles ]. When I first tested it, it was pretty cold outside and it kept me snuggly warm. Nice as a wind-breaker as well. In other words, I found this jacket so nice that I ordered another one before anyone finds out how awesome it is. Way to go Amazing-zon!! !

Very nice quality Purchase this years ago though. I'm just now writing the review. Going down the list of all the things I've purchased from Amazon

i purchased this jacket because i love hoodies and with the warmer weather coming it will be to hot with a hoodie on. i absolutely love it. the material is lovey it is softish and i get many compliments on it and everyone asks where i bought it from. i have sent many of my friends your way to purchase them as well. i will be ordering in a different color soon. There is one thing for me, i have short arms and the arms are too long, but i just fold them under and that works just fine as the cuffs have and elasitc band inside. The rest fits just wonderful, lots of room if it was a chilly night and i wanted to wear a hoodie under it,

I bought a jacket for upcoming trip. It is see through and unlined although the description clearly states ‘flannel lined’. Don’t waste your money on this rubbish.

Material was much softer than I was expecting. Color is amazing and fir perfectly. Loved that it can be turned into a pouch with reversible zipper!

Great fit thanks. Goes over my puffer

I really like this jacket! It does everything I need it to for wind/water resistance - within reason. It's also really light and can be folded up nicely to go in a hiking bag on those uncertain weather days.
