I really liked the Bright Marigold color, but it was too tight at the hips. I bought the Columbia Women’s Arcadia™ II Rain Jacket in the same size as this jacket at the same time. The rain jacket was perfect around the hips, so if your measurements are at the top of the range, you might want to size up for the Powder Lite Hooded Jacket. I would also have liked to have seen a pouch to stuff it in for travel. Can't say more as I went with another brand since I didn't like any of the colors left in the next size.Este modelo en perticular viene un tanto para cuerpo con curvas jajaja se siente de excelente calidad y es muy lindo, como referencia podría decirles que compré la talla XS y le uedaria bien a una mujer de 1.54m de contextura delgada.I purchased this item for a trip to Yellowstone. It is VERY warm and super light and takes up very little room in my luggage. Many days it was 34-40 degrees with wind and rain and it worked great as far as warmth. It was VERY small; order a size up. I was able to use it but it was very uncomfortable - very tight across chest and hips. More cut for skinny man than a woman,I really like that it is super lightweight but still provide warmth during cold weather. Used it during spring when wqlking outside in the morning and at night. Can be rolled small enough to fit in my backpack. For me, it fits just right.Light weight and warm jacket just like advertised.Love this jacket! I live in a very cold climate area and have been looking for the winter jacket I can wear to the airport when it’s freezing here and I’m traveling to a warmer place. Layer a long sleeve, sweater or sweatshirt under it and it’s crazy warm! Yes, the “disco ball” interior (AKA Omni-Heat) works exactly like it says. I’ve had multiple jackets from Columbia and will only get Omni-Heat lined jackets. Allows for less bulk while keeping the warmth you expect. It’s super light (actual weight) and quite thin for such a warm jacket. Easily packable especially using a packing cube or stuffing it into the top of a suitcase upon arrival. I had this same jacket without a hood. Love the newer version and the hood is perfect for days with biting cold winds and snow. 10 stars for the only jacket you need to pack in the fall/winter while still being able to use it while at home!Signing note, I usually wear a small but sized up for layering. It’s not bulky or oversized, just right for a sweatshirt underneath and still works with lighter layers.I really loved everything about this jacket. Very well made and it would have been perfect, except the arms were long and the shoulder area was loose but the hips were too narrow. I’m curvey, this is better for more of a long and lean body type.I really love the color. It wasn't my first choice but my first choice was not available but that is O-KAY because this jacket is so cute. I plan to wear on a trip to NYC as I anticipate cool weather. I've worn it a couple of times and I like it since it's not heavy to wear and doesn't make me look huge. It has a nice shape to it and not boxy looking. Two thumbs up.The jacket is very light and compact! Fits like a glow so you can‘t put the layers or thick sweaters underneath, but you actually don’t have to , the jacket is so warm, because of its body reflective heat technology , all you need is to put a thin shirt underneath!Too small, and sleeves too long. A shame as it's well-made and otherwise would be perfect for me.It's exactly what I expected, but I need a size larger. I'm usually an S, but I couldn't get the zipper to close around my hips.nice coat. Im generally a 12-14 and ordered a large. Fits well but sleeves are quite longgreatdeal
