I bought this coat for myself in the spring and wore it constantly. It protects me from the rain and the lining keeps me warm on raw, blustery spring days but is easy to remove when it gets hotter. This fall my daughter was caught here in bad weather so I loaned her my coat. She like it so well and looked so good in it that I immediately ordered one for her. She was delighted.
I needed an all weather casual coat and this is perfect. Having the removable lining is the clincher; plus I do not like to wear a hat so the hood is another added bonus for those days with precipitation.
I really like the jacket. The zipper is a bit sticky but that may be because it is new. The colour is nice. The sleeves fit my long arms. The jacket is warm and lightweight. The weather has been dry so I am looking forward to its performance on keeping me dry when the Monsoon rains come. Overall, I think its a great jacket!
