## Description

The Women's Essential Rain Jacket is a stylish, lightweight piece featuring Gore-Tex with Paclite Technology—making it waterproof, windproof, breathable, and extremely packable. The hydrophobic Gore-Tex membrane contains over 9 billion pores per square inch to reduce internal moisture, and the Paclite layer regulates temperature while keeping weight to a bare minimum. The Essential jacket also features fully taped seams to prevent leaks, Velcro cuffs that can be cinched to keep out the cold, zippered hand pockets for storing small items, and an attached hood that adjusts for better facial coverage. If interior heat should begin to build up, simply open the Pitzips—zippered ventilation openings under the arms—to increase air flow.

Review: I am usually a medium, and after reading the reviews, ordered a large. It's a tad big, just like I wanted, in order to fit a sweater underneath. I've tried it in the rain, and yes, the raindrops form little beads and just roll right off. So exciting to finally have a raincoat that will keep me dry! I love the colour, too, a nice, deep shade of blue. The zippers work well, don't catch, and being on the pockets ensures items won't fall out. The underarm venting zippers are a clever addition. It's also extremely light, which is good. I'm a pear-shaped woman, and I find it fits just fine.
Review: The sleeve fitting is narrow under the arms causing the pit zips to intrude into the arm pits, very uncomfortable, requires an extra inch to be unable to wear any layers underneath . A heartbreaking decision to return the jacket searched for a long time very difficult to find a quality women’s shaped longer length gortex jacket with a well fitting hood, body and sleeve length was perfect overall perfect except for under arm fitting. Jacket XS fitting my weight 49 kg, height 5’ 2”.Four star rating for the overall jacket quality.

*by J***E on 26 February 2022*

This is a really classy item well made and tailored to fit waist and chest. Length depends on your height. Not made for bulky attire beneath it, unless one is very slim. Definitely waterproof, and it breathes. I chose navy and my daughter chose black, they are very stylish. I purchased mine on sale, but had to get our daughters at regular price and it was still a good buy. I am short and muscular, so got XL.
