Great Quality for the Price

I really liked this jacket and it served me well on my trip to Alaska. I ordered this jacket and the Columbia Arcadia II jacket at the same time to see which one I liked more. Not only was this jacket cheaper than the Columbia jacket, but it seemed like much better quality. The material of this jacket was much less plastic-like and it was lined, at least in the body area. There was plenty of room in the arms of the jacket, which is great for layering with sweaters underneath. I normally wear a size 10 to 12 and the large in this jacket fit just right. I really liked that the Diamond Candy jacket had more space in the arms and chest and was somewhat snug around my hips because it didn't make me look puffy and frumpy, like the Columbia did. Even though I ordered a larger size than this in the Columbia Arcadia II, the arms were overly snug and it was big everywhere else, which is definitely not ideal for layering and which made me look puffy. I ended up returning the Columbia Arcadia II and keeping this jacket. It worked out very well. I wore this jacket in the rain several times and it kept me warm and dry. Typically, I paired this with a long sleeve shirt or sweater, depending on how cool it was. This is not warm enough by itself to wear when it is very cold and the sleeves are not lined, so you will want to wear at least a long sleeve shirt underneath. I wore this with a light sweater when it got into the low 50's and I was rather cold. With a light sweater, this jacket is perfect in the 60's and low 70's. I would probably not wear this on a hot rainy day because I think it would be too warm for that, but it works perfectly for Alaska summers. I live in Southern California, so I have not worn this since I got back from my trip, but I am hoping to get some use out of it this winter. Overall, great purchase.
Great price. Great jacket.

For such a cheap jacket it really did great. I was super warm actually sweating while in the snow. It is wind resistant. I loved the price. I didn't want anything expensive because I don't visit cold weather often. I would recommend this jacket to anyone who needs a snow jacket but doesn't want to spend a ton.***Update*** side pocket got a hole in it. Easy to stitch up. Still a good buy.***Update Again almost a year later*** We had some unexpected freezing weather in Texas where I live. I pulled this jacket out to wear because nothing I had would keep me warm. It worked great. I am nice and toasty. I still love the price. Its holding up great considering I am wearing it daily. I haven't tried to wash it.
First impression: Great jacket!

I bought this jacket for my trip to Ireland and England this Fall. I ordered the blue one in medium. The color is true to the picture and the fit is just right.Positives:We actually used this jacket several times to cover our daughters stroller when it was raining, and while it wasn't heavy rain, the jacket did repel water!Nice soft lining, not sure what it's made of.The jacket is heavy enough to provide some warmth, and large enough to offer room for layersHood has a draw string so that you can tighten it around your faceHood can be removedVelcro to tighten sleeves around wristsThe jacket is longer, comes down halfway over my buttThe gray on the sides of the jacket gives a flattering effectBody of the jacket is not too puffyFits true to sizeCons:I wish the sleeves were a little less puffy and not quiet as longThe zipper isn't the easiest to maneuverThe jacket has an interesting small, I'm pretty sure it'll go away eventually
Love this jacket!

Love my jacket! I bought this to go skiing and it worked great! I wore several layers underneath and it helped keep me warm and it definitely kept me dry, lol. (I fell a lot) I loved the design of the pockets too. They kept everything safe and waterproof. I kept my phone in my pocket the whole day with no problems.
Great jacket for the money

I travel to Ecuador as a volunteer into the cloud forest it rains every single day in this jacket is perfect it folds up fairly small I can fit into a backpack and taken out at a moment's notice when the rain begins to fall it drives very fast and keeps you very warm. I am five foot three and 173 lb and I got a size large and it fits perfect
So glad I did

I was skeptical about buying a jacket from Amazon but after looking at other online stores (L.L.Bean, Talbots, Lands End) this jacket was much less expensive and had the waterproofing I was looking for so decided to risk it. So glad I did. Very lightweight, love the color and lots of pockets. The fit is as expected. I'm 5'2" 120 lbs and the XS fits perfectly for me. I bought it to only wear light sweaters underneath and fits well. Since this is a straight line jacket which covers the butt and snaps at the bottom, I was concerned that it might be a little snug but it's not. Love the hot pink color and easy wash instructions. Would buy again.
Good quality

Received this jacket today, and I'm very impressed. The jacket is made well with impeccable tailoring. Pockets have zippers with flaps to protectcontents (in pockets) from the rain, and the hood unzips. Normally I wear a small to medium size. I ordered a medium, and the size was good; however, the jacket is NOT roomy enough to wear very heavy clothes underneath (I would have needed a large size to accommodate heavy clothes). I suggest referencing the size chart, and measuring your hips. Since I bought the jacket for running, and a thermal top will be the heaviest top I will wear under the jacket, the medium will be fine. This jacket is well worth the money (even my Husband was impressed). Don't hesitate to order this jacket.

Large enough to wear a hoody underneath but still chose size 12. i bought myself and my daughter one we are both normaly size 12 they fit perfect. The colours are the same as pictures, i bought both pink and purple, not worn in heavy rain yet but confident they will be waterproof as did try pouring water over sleeve and it didnt leak through to inside.happy so far.

Really like this jacket. Has withstood the shocking rain we have had lately.Downside though the right zip pocket broke on the 1st day and this has really cheesed me off as now can not use that side as its stuck half way and wont budge.Great idea for inside pocket but needs to be deeper to fit the size of today's mobile phone length as I had my phone in that and it fell out when I took my jacket off landed face down on a concrete swimming pool floor. Smashed, luckily the screen protector. S9 phone. Just a thought.Did not send back as really need this jacket.

I love this coat, plenty of room for a fleece/jumper underneath, lots of pockets with zips including one up high for safely storing my phone.I have just worn it during a very windy and often wet weekend in Devon and it kept me lovely and dry and warm. The hood is held tightly in place by Velcro and it stays out even when it's windy.Only negative is there's no hook for hanging it which is frustrating, other than that it's a fab coat!I highly recommend.

Well this was a surprise!I was sent the coat I ordered fit great good quality but smelled like perfume. Opened the pocket and someone had going grocery shopping in BC. 3 receipts in the pocket. Nice. They just didnât try it on. They wore it!! The front was dirty from something rubbing up against it too. Quality control obviously sucks!!

Sizing is really off so ensure to read the reviews. I bought an s based on previous experiences with these kind of jackets and I'm glad I did. Still room for layers but still fitted. And sleeves were perfect length which is sometimes an issue for me when I size down. I have been using this for quite a few days now mainly in the mornings when my little one goes to school. Also last Saturday we had a heavy rain and we went shopping to Sainsburys and I was wearing my new jacket and it ticked the waterproofing box. So far all okay.

Supplied in simple non branded packaging this is a cute well made little womens raincoat.Fit absolutely spot on for what was ordered and the jacket is nicely finished. A brighter pink than it's showing up in the video with a contrasting grey/black lends the jacket a bit of style.Front zipper and pocket zippers are covered with a flap with velcro fastening to ensure no water leakage, hood of a good size and shaped to cater for longer hair.A nice qualitg, good looking jacket at a very reasonable price.Please see the video for a closer look and if you find the review useful please click on the Helpful button below.

Wish this fitted or they done bigger sizes. I bought the largest size and it was way too small. I'm gutted as the coat looked a good quality and fell in love with the design and colour.

I'm more than happy with this jacket.It's practical, keeps me dry, keeps the chill off when I leave for work in the mornings, has good pockets and fits well. I am a size 12 so ordered size large and it's a great fit for me. Its well made, no lose cottons or seams and does just what I need it to do.If you are looking for a lightweight waterproof jacket this is a good bet.

I love the jacket but have only been wearing it for a couple of weeks & the pocket zip is broken. Disappointed but as wearing on a daily basis, cannot send it back as I do not have another waterproof jacket to wear. Could there be another replacement sent first so I could send the faulty one back??

I normally would buy a size M but having read the reviews here I ordered S and it fits perfectly. Looks exactly like the photo, the patterns on the jacket. Great green colour, again, exactly llike in the photo. Ordered on 21st March, arrived on 30th March. I haven't worn it yet but to be honest, if I can only wear if for a few months, it is OK. The price is great.

Not a lot of room in the size I brought to wear a jumper or cardigan underneath it. Great quality material and colour. Have worn it in the rain and it is fully waterproof. May not be substanial enough in a heavy downpour. Shorter in length than I expected.
