baleaf Packable Rain Jacket Women Waterproof Lightweight Jackets Hooded

So I ordered both Bikewa and Baleaf, in 2 sizes. I was actually more interested in the Baleaf because I liked the more periwinkle shade displayed in the ad, however they are exactly the same purple as each other and not periwinkle. The inside fabric and outside are identical, the sewing patterns are identical, the purple colors are identical. Here are the differences- the Bikewa has armpit vents and black zippers and a smaller reflective name on the back than the Baleaf which has no armpit vents, purple zippers, and a larger reflective name on the back. Otherwise, they are identical! The quality seems great imo but I have not worn it outside yet. They seem to trap heat. As far as fit- I ordered a XXL in Bikewa and a L in Baleaf… I will return both for an XL. I am 5’4” tall, 177 lbs. I loved the back length on the XXL that covered to the bottom of my rear, L went to the middle of my rear. L was nice looking fit up top with my 38” bust (36 B/C) but a little tight on my hips (42” hips). XXL was a little too baggy everywhere so thinking the XL will put me in the sweet spot for my shape. The arms are very long on both sizes, going past my finger tips, but both have “hook n loop” wrists to fix that. The hat is my only complaint on both- it is extremely deep and goes over my face even if I adjust the front opening tighter. It would benefit from a way to adjust the depth. I suspect if you wear a ball cap, bike helmet, or put your hair in a big bun or something to add depth, it might help. It is not a breathable fabric (not many waterproof options are- sounds swooshy and feels rubbery/plastic like and has a faint smell at least when new. I will be buying an XL to keep. Both brands seem great, just note the differences if they will matter to you.

I absolutely love the quality, color, and packability of this jacket. I’m 5’4”, 140lbs., and the Size M fits well. I purchased this jacket for a Spring hike in Yosemite National Forest, and it will be perfect. There is enough room to layer add some layers beneath it, but can fold it up in its own pocket as the day warms up. Wonderful!

This jacket is amazing! It's ultralightweight and completely seam-sealed, making it waterproof. The medium fits my shoulders perfectly. I wasn't sure whether to get a small or a medium, but I went with the medium so I could wear something under it if necessary. I'm 120 lb and 5'5". I wrestled with the color, but since I'm heading off to the Netherlands next week, I wanted the visibility of this not-so-pretty yellow. At $53, I may even get one of the prettier colors when I come back!

Purchased for a trip where I needed to pack light and compact, but where I expected drizzle/rain in cooler temperatures. I wore this jacket daily for 2+ weeks. Love the color (nice and bright)! Love the size and locations of pockets, and love that they're well zippered. Fit as expected. Kept me nice and dry and also added a layer of warmth (but not so much that I got sweaty). The only part I didn't like was the hood. When I needed it up, it was always in my eyes. I tried lots of ways to tuck it in the back, I used the elastic cinch thingies at the neck. My best solution was to turn the small bill up away from my face. It stayed as long as the wind wasn't strong, and allowed me to see, but that solution negated the rain protection for my face. Another solution I thought of (didn't actually try, though) would be to wear a ball cap or similar under the hood.

I love love LOVE this jacket. I wore it over some layers in 36 degree weather and it kept me warm and dry. I love that I can just fold it up and zip it up into itself. It’s light and protective against wind and rain, so it’s perfect for my needs. I also love the color and the way it fits.

Pleasantly surprised! I was hesitant, having never purchased from them before. It is NICE. It’s pretty and lightweight. I haven’t worn it yet but it’s well made.

LOVE this jacket! It fits well and has enough room for layers, which is nice to have options. It's super comfortable and it covers lower in the back, and seems durable. The zippers move smoothly and seal up well. It's also a great grab n go light jacket. I agree with others the hood is a bit wonky/long, but have mitigated issues by wearing a baseball hat underneath to give the cinched hood something to grab and keep it out of my face. It would be more useful to have a Velcro tab on the back of the hood to pull it back to a better height. I found that spending the afternoon outside in moderate rain, working in the yard, caused it to loose some waterproofing in spots, but in fairness, it's not rated for the amount of rain it was exposed to, but held up well before it started to bleed through a bit. I've worn it hiking in the PNW and it was fine in the constant drizzle. I disagree with the many people complaining that it doesn't come with a packing bag ...the bag IS PART OF THE JACKET! It's the zipper on the back of the jacket. It folds into itself. It's actually wonderful we don't have to worry about losing a tiny bag for it, it's built in. Overall, I love this jacket and sure wish it had some other features (vented pits, better hood situation and stronger water proofing) but for the money I feel it's great for what it's used for (and rated for).

This jacket was hands-down my favorite purchase for my trip to Iceland! I wore it with a simple base layer and it kept me totally dry and warm against the brutal wind, rain, and cold. I stayed warm hiking, sightseeing, and even out at sea. The toggles at the bottom were perfect for sealing out the elements, and the pockets easily held my phone, hats, and snacks. I also bought the matching pants from this company and they were equally great—true to size and just as reliable!

Purchased July 2023. Couldn't wear because although I'd ordered a large (I was UK 16-18 at the time) it didn't fit me! 1 year on and 2 stone lighter and now a size 12-14 it fits great, although still snug once I'm zipped up. But I like that and it doesn't interfere with my movements and flexibility and it's such a tough durable design that I'm confident the zip is not about to pop!! So I've worn it over fleeces and hoodies and that main zip couldn't even be burst by the Incredible Hulk!! It's got 3 ventilation pockets at the top of the back - like slashes - so you don't end up a sweaty mess. Lovely reflective detailing - the little dots are cute. Large inside pockets each side for maybe maps n stuff. Outside pockets on sides and rear - all zipped. The rear pocket is wide. It's stitched together brilliantly! There's a rubbery band on the inside bottom of the rear of the jacket, so that when you pull it down over your rump, it stays in place. The ventilation as mentioned keeps you warm and cool. Not sticky and hot. The hood is so cute and functional. It has a sort of cap effect so that you can pull it over your head for protection and the little skip part keeps the rain out of your eyes that little bit more. The hood is toggled both sides. It can also be rolled up and tucked away at the collar - thus giving you a thicker collar, held in it's own little pocket and secured by velcro. Finally, the colour. It's stunning. I don't exactly blend into the scenery but I walk on my own a lot and like to be seen by others and be memorable. Just from a safety point of view. I give this jacket 100/10. It is incredibly lightweight but exceptionally warm. So many little details that just set it apart. Whoever designed it has given a lot of thought to it. I would happily have paid double what I did pay for it. Worth every penny and more.

Me encantó ! El material es muy bueno , es muy delgada como para ponerse un suéter abajo, falta probar si es impermeable pero al parecer si es impermeable La talla está muy bien tal vez un poco grande pero el corte está muy bonito, el material muy bueno, me encantó ! Estoy pensando en comprar de otro color

Exelente producto!

La giacca mi sembra di ottima qualità . La provata ma non avevo possibilità di portala fuori, qualche escursione. L unica pecca che, ordinato una S sono alta 153cm, 52kg, mi è arrivata una M. Un po' larga, le maniche lunghe.

Love this jacket so much. Fit well and is thin and breathable. Got a few compliments on it and so far so good with the waterproofing.
