Charles River Pack-n-go Wind & Water-resistant Pullover (Reg/Ext Sizes)

Perfect for windy and rainy days! Very good quality and true to size. Size up if you want to wear a heavy sweater or bulky item underneath. Ordered the pink and white. Had overnight delivery.

Bought two of these for my boyfriend and I to keep in our hiking backpacks as emergency raingear for a 20 mile day hike. Did not have to use them for the rain that day, but they do work as an added layer for cooler temps. I did use it in the rain a few days prior and it worked quite well, however it was definitely not in a torrential downpour, soaking rain environment so I'm not sure how well these would hold up under those conditions. I feel like Gore-Tex is really the only thing that would keep one dry in weather like that, and you're definitely gonna have to pay a lot more for Gore-Tex products. For what it is, it worked well in minimal rain. It was almost like wearing an umbrella. I appreciate the way it packs up small inside the front zipper pocket. This is a good purchase for warmer weather as it's not very heavy and has a little bit of underarm ventilation. For reference, I am a 5' 8" woman, 170 lbs., size 12 and I went with the size Large. The Medium fit but the hood was not deep enough for me, and I generally like a little more room, especially if I would ever want to layer something under this. The sleeves were a great deal long, but rolling them up a couple times fixed that. My boyfriend is 6'1" and maybe 220lbs. The XL fit him well. I will say, the shoulders were different on the two colors we got. The color blocked version he has has raglan sleeves. The solid color that I got, did not. This might matter to some.

good fit, high visibility, works well for light wind and rain, layer on top for cold

I normally purchase my outdoor gear from LL Bean or Bass Pro, so using Amazon for this kind of thing is a first for me. Seems all the major companies are buying from outside the US, so I figured I might as well try this one. It's made int the United Arab Emirates...go figure.Anyhow, about the product. The fit is a bit smaller than what I would have liked. In the photos I'm wearing a Tee and a merino wool top. I was hoping to be able to layer under this, but...it's all good. I could maybe wear a thin coat and not be too uncomfortable.Based on my first wear in a light rain, it keeps the water off (way better than the Bean version) and it's packable(like the Bean version). It has air holes under the arms so you don't get too hot. It's comfortable, but a little noisey for still hunting(if you're into that, I'm still gonna give it a go).Only thing I can complain about is the pockets seem to open a bit of their own accord and they get a little water running into them. Kind of a bummer, but I've dealt with worse.I would buy this product again, but I get a bigger size.Edit 19 May 2023Did a test the other day. We had a good Midwestern storm come through, heavy rain and some winds. I stood in the rain until my pants were pretty wet. When I went back in the house and took the anorak off, my shirt was completely dry. Loving this anorak a bit more now.

Great fit & quality!

So glad I took this on my trip to Scotland. The weather was all over the place and this jacket was so clutch. It’s lightweight but can easily be layered with a sweater underneath. Even by itself it cuts the wind the ease. The picture is from a hike on a crazy windy day as you can see from hair. Without this jacket the hike would have been miserable. Extremely waterproof too! From light sprinkling to heavy rain, this jacket did not disappoint. I wore this golfing and it was definitely appropriate to wear on the course. The jacket has a loose fit but I would say it runs true to size. I normally wear a size small and the small fit great. Enough room to layer underneath but not an overly baggy fit.Added bonus I didn’t realize, you can flip the front pocket inside out and the jacket has its own carrying pouch for easy transport!

My favorite jacket ever! This pullover is made with the best details. The fabric it’s made with is smooth, light weight, durable and not overly hot. It’s zippers, cinching cord at the bottom, wrist elastic, and even the zipper pulls are of exceptional quality. All of the seams, and stitching is excellent. There are no loose threads or mis- stitchings. The fit is generous and comfy. I tried going down a size to see if it fit better, but it was going to be too uncomfortable around the hips. I am not one to wear something I have to pull on all day. The sleeves were a little bit long, but I usually roll up once on all of my jackets. The upper arms are perfect, not too loose or snug. The chest and waist are good and loose, hips are perfect and the length is just covering my butt. 5’5, size 16/18 and I bought XXL. The XL, fit and went over my hips, but if I wanted to wear a heavier shirt under it… no.The pink color is the one I got, but I would love one in every color. The colors are vibrant and when it’s raining, the bright color is pleasant addition!

I purchased the white in XS, and it has a good amount of room which I expected from other reviews. It’s a little see through so I’ll wear only a white hoodie underneath and it can be very thick with room to spare but not comical. I got it for the cinching of the waist, and really wish it was lined. 5’2” 123 lbs
