Ordering online is always a shot in the dark. I need a new rain jacket to replace an older well worn/loved one. I thought I would upgrade to a better brand...didn't quite work out fit wise.I am 5'7", 152, Size 8-10, 36C with broad shoulders and fairly long arms. I ordered my usual size Large. I have no idea how the jacket would preform in the rain because the look was less than flattering and there was no way I was going outside in it. Frumpy. My boyfriend said it looked like something his mom would wear. That killed it right on the spot. I packed it up to go back. So, I suppose if you're looking for pure function, this might be the jacket for you but, if you're looking for something to wear in public...maybe go elsewhere.Also, the hood "brim" has some sort of plastic inside to hold a shape however, it was so mangled in folding/shipping that there was no way to re-form it into something usable or attractive. Overall, the fabric was nice and quiet, the color attractive but, it certainly didn't look like an expensive jacket. The one I am replacing cost half as much but, looks twice as nice/flattering.
