Charles River Apparel Unisex Classic Striped Pullover, Men's & Women's Water-Resistant Windbreake

Love it, and thank you Customer Service for replacing the one that "went missing" so quickly!!!

I bought this jacket mainly for rainy days. I had sizing issues that made me return my first order (Medium) and opted for a size Small. The women’s jacket, in the same style, was sold out in the color black so I tried my chances with the men’s version. So maybe that’s why the sizing was off for me because I’m a woman. My measurements are 36C, 26 waist & 5’0”. I normally wear a small or medium in women’s tops/outerwear. And the small is a bit baggy. I have plenty of room for layering at least two sweaters and a tank top underneath the jacket. When first wearing it, it was huge, looked like the jacket was swallowing me, but then I adjusted the bottom portion where the string is and tightened the hip part. That made it slightly better. I washed and air dried the jacket and now it seems like it’s a good fit for my body. However, the arms are still baggy but I don’t mind. Idk if the jacket shrunk but it looks ok now. (I wash my clothes with warm water, I hung up the jacket to dry) The jacket ends slightly below my butt but if I move a lot or raise my arms, the jacket will also raise and reveal my butt and front. Just putting that out there for anyone who’s planning to wear leggings with the jacket and possibly has camel toe lol. The jacket shields the rain and keeps me warm. The front pockets are a nice size. I just stick my hands or phone in there whenever I’m walking around. The hood part is also a nice size. I personally think I have a big head and this hood covers it well. One flaw would be that the ‘cotton’ (not sure if it is cotton), lining in the inside sheds or transfers to my shirt sometimes. It’s very noticeable when i’m wearing black. Overall, I’m satisfied and would say the jacket was well worth the price. Just a suggestion, there should be an XS (

I would give this jacket a 5 star rating if it was just a tad bit more roomy around my torso - I was surprised that for a men's 2X it is as snug as it is. I'm a 5'3" woman who carries her weight around her middle, so I'm always looking for wider rather than longer :) But, other than that, I l-o-v-e this jacket! I jog outside in the bitter cold winters here in Minnesota and have been looking for a windbreaker type pullover to wear over a wicking thermal shirt and this is the one. It has a relatively thin cotton material lining, which turns out to be just enough when worn with a thermal long sleeved t-shirt - the wind blocking of the exterior is outstanding, without being heavy or bulky. So while it seems counter-intuitive to wear only 2-3 extremely thin layers while jogging outdoors when the air temp is -20 Fahrenheit with 15 mph NNW winds, I'm toasty warm but never over-heated. I'm going to buy another one of these jackets as a back-up, and to wear in wet weather because it's waterproof. Great purchase, super happy, even though it's a tad snug, it still works exactly like I need to work!

I have had this type of jacket before and was very attached to it. It's just really comfortable and easy to put on at the last minute for outdoor stuff, on top of whatever else you have under it. I get it really large so that it will not mess up my hair or outfits when I take it off. (Like going into/ out of a restaurant from the car - who cares what jacket you wear in the parking lot anyway? - or grabbing the mail on a rainy day - or putting on top of a sweatshirt to walk the dog.). It has a little warmth to it and not too much. It is not a full-out rain jacket. It handles drizzle, mist and fog well. Use an umbrella for rain pours. Not going to win any prizes for style, but it does not mess up my hair when taking off as long as I order a size bigger and then you cover the hood sides with your hands while lifting off and your hairstyle will be intact. That is the primary reason I like it. It helps keep my hair as managed as possible on rainy days by not getting stuck in it! And does not wrinkle my sweaters or outfits underneath. It fits just below hip length. If you have a wet bench at the park or bus stop, you can kinda scoot onto it to mostly stay dry.

This is a nice, fully waterproof jacket. And it has a bit of lining for warmth too. I wasn't expecting much actually since there are a lot of these inexpensive jackets at Amazon, and some pretty bad reviews as well. But I took a shot and I'm quite pleased. For me, this one's for playing golf in the Reno wind and drizzle and it does that nicely. FULLY waterproof and wind proof. Lined lightly for some warmth. It's a pullover. 2 pockets for my hands. Hood. Listen, I would not call it haute couture or runway stylish, but it actually looks pretty nice. I wear XL and ordered XL and it fits nicely. It's neither baggy nor overly snug; I can swing my clubs just fine. Altogether, I'm very pleased with this one.

This is a really nice quality jacket. At first I was just looking for a simple windbreaker since I just have sweaters and the air goes right through them to my skin. I saw another windbreaker for a similar price but I'm glad I got this one! The inside does have an extra layer to keep to warmer rather than just the plasticly windbreaker itself and other one didn't have the extra layer. There is also an extra pocket on the front that has vlecro to keep it safe, which is a nice bonus! It does run a little large, and for women it isn't too flattering compared to the zip up ones but it doesn't matter as long as you're warm! For the price and quality of this jacket it's an excellent purchase to make. I got it in the maroon color and its a beautiful maroon just like I expected.

I would have liked thicker nylon but the full-coverage cotton lining sort of makes up for it. This is NOT something I would do rough work in, as it would be destroyed in short order. I'll use it for getting groceries in the rain. I'm 5'-8" and 150 lbs so I'm always on the border between a small and a medium. I picked the small this time and I'm glad I did. The small fits perfectly if you like a trim fit, else get the medium. The cotton lining can be sort of grabby depending on what you're wearing underneath, requiring some patience to get it on.

Love it
