Perfect for everyday use in the summer to block the sun and in the spring. The fit is perfect and the material is made with supreme material. Love, love love.

5 Brent O.
I do n't know what dark wizard lord Cotopaxi made a deal with to find this space material, but it is the softest thing I 've ever had on my body, and I 've had literal baby faces on my body before. It's so comfortable I want to wear it even when it's crazy hot outside, and unsurprisingly it's cool and cozy even then. I bought one in all three colors available and no I 'm not embarrassed about that in the least.

5 Ed S.
Very good for days in the 60s or to have handy for days in the 70s when it cools down.

5 Ben M.
This jacket is great, it reminds me of the older version of this called the Paray but this one is a little more stretchy, the sleeves were a little baggy and longer than normal so I went down to a medium. The snap button is awesome for arm mobility for tennis and venting.

5 Anand N.
Bought the seed color in Medium. Runs true to size. Photo green was a bit darker than the actual one. Would be good to see more colors as options. Fits well and i have been using it this spring for some of the local hikes in the bay area. So far so good. Will have to see how it holds up for the road ahead.

5 Chloe
Have never received so many compliments while hiking! I wore this paired with the Bastille Trail pant recently on a hike, and was stopped numerous times asking where my jacket was. So lightweight( but still provided warmth), and great ventilation! Also so many pockets to house snacks/cameras/sunglasses. Could not recommend more!

5 SPow
Halfdays really delivered with the amount of pockets in this jacket! It's comfortable and surprisingly light weight while still being warm enough for spring hiking. The fabric seems very durable and( fingers crossed) has n't stained. It does run big, but I liked the look so I stuck with my normal size. As long as you do n't have a broad back, you could definitely size down.

I have had this for almost two years now and have used it heavily in that time, but it still looks brand new and does not have any signs of wear. It is extremely durable. It is breathable and comfortable and a very flattering fit. I am 172cm and 54kg and ordered a size small which fits perfectly.

5 Claire
Well made lightweight jacket. I appreciate the zippered pockets, slight tailoring, and breathability. Good quality. I have two of these for a couple years and they hold up wear. Comfy to wear for a walk or running errands. I 'm 5' 7 '', 125 lbs, curvy/pear shaped. I got the medium and it fits well, could probably go for a small if I wanted it more fitted or the arms a bit shorter.

5 FjällFox
I have this jacket in multiple colours because of how versatile and great it is. It is very lightweight and does n't feel like anything when it's on but provides a surprising amount of warmth on chilly days. It's nice enough to put over a dress and wear to grab lunch or do some shopping, but it also holds its own on day treks in the forests.

Tested out the new UL Premonition during my training in Salt Lake City and my recent Makalu expedition. Two of the best features of the jacket are its weight and packability — it is incredibly light and easy to pack into my backpack, especially when carrying a lot of gear and equipment up to higher camps. The jacket shielded me from rain, snow, and high winds at higher altitudes. It ’s highly mobile and easy to wear. Particularly love the internal long zippered pocket — perfect for storing important devices like iPhone or Garmin inReach.

5 Anya
[ Employee of mountainhardwear] This is my go- to lightweight waterproof shell. Basically like a feather in my backpack, there is no reason not to bring it. Alpine climbing, mountain biking, hustle footing. I live in the PNW and rain is almost guaranteed on every outing- got ta have this.

5 Jayrae__
I bought this in the early summer bc I was in desperate need of a new rain jacket( my old one was literally crumbling apart!). This past weekend I assisted in the rescue 7 people who were capsized in a pontoon boat. I dove into the water with phone and all in the pocket of this jacket. After the scary event ended I took my phone out of my pocket and was shocked to still see the phone screen activated! The phone still needed about 7 hours to completely dry out and let me charge it but it ’s completely fine now. Obviously this jacket isn ’ t meant to be submerged but the saving the phone of it all felt worth mentioning. This jacket is also WARM and I don ’ t feel like raindrops are still making me cold through the jacket. It ’s also a superb wind breaker. I wore it on a 5k ft hike and the wind at the top was bearable in this jacket. It ’s expensive but it WORKS.

I got this as a fun hiking jacket and I love the color so much it goes with so many of my outfits. But I will say that as I walk around the house with it and while I 'm hiking the elastic loop that you use to cinch in the bottom gets caught in door handles and in trees often which is kind of annoying. The vents on the back are pretty neat. The elastic on the cuff looks pretty cheap because the fabric is easier so you can see how thick the elastic is. Also the zipper looks funny when you cinch it up because the bottom of the zipper does n't get cinched obviously. Usually for crops jackets you can just talk this part upside down but because this one has a ruched pattern talking that part upside down causes the ruched parts to be hidden. Anyways still too cute for me to care. I found with the style of jacket you really need a size down because Free people is making it super oversized

[ I was a little skeptical about the jacket at first and how it would really fit. To my surprise the jacket was light weight and fit loose. I really like the white with the blue lining accent. This was a jacket that could go with casual or even something cute. I wore it on a day where it was mid to high 70 with some wind and it worked just fine for me. I really like the material that the jacket is made out of. The only thing I would like to see if this jacket comes in any other color.

5 JayRae735
[ So I just want to start out by saying that it ’s way too warm for me to wear this out and about right now, but it will definitely be a staple once the weather cools down. It ’s such a lightweight jacket with snap enclosures where the pockets are which is a nice little throwback feature that you don ’ t see often in jackets. I got a medium and I love that it ’s a little oversized, but not too large so as to where you ’ re drowning. I love that the outside of the jacket gives windbreaker material, but the inside doesn ’ t meaning you won ’ t sweat at all in it like a typical windbreaker. I personally love this jacket and can ’ t wait for it to cool down so I can wear it somewhere other than inside my house.

5 Sunny
[ I am thrilled to receive the jacket, it is stylish and functional. I love the color which looks very natural, the light blue lines add fine details, the color is just lovely. The jacket fits true to size and is UPF 40+, I did my research and it shows the jacket allows only about 2. 5% of the sun's UV rays to pass through, excellent! I think it would be great for colder weather, I 'm so excited to use it for my winter and fall outdoor runs. Besides, it is lightweight, you could easily fit it into a small bag. It could be a sports jacket or an everyday jacket while walking in the neighborhood,

5 LR
[ Love the old school vibe of this jacket. The light blue accents add an interesting detail to the white colorway. I love that it is light enough to wear for a run and does its job blocking the wind while still allowing me to keep cool. I also like that I am able to fold it small to pack it away for a trip. The one thing I would change is the buttons on the pockets. I would prefer them to have zippers so I know my keys or phone are secure, but that is just a personal preference! Overall, I love this jacket and can ’ t wait for fall to wear it more often!

5 Gianni
[ I really enjoy wearing this windrunner jacket. I got a size up for a roomier feel and the comfort is on point. The mesh interior is very soft and feels great against the skin. The white color feels perfect for something to throw on during summer and its breathable enough for mild summer days. The color accents on the striping and the silver zipper meld perfectly with the pillowy white of the rest of the jacket. It can be styled many ways and I ca n't wait to try with more outfits. I do n't intend to use this jacket for running or outdoor training but I can tell it would be great for workouts in a more fitted size. The water repelling fabric is definitely a bonus for any outdoor use. Overall this jacket is a big plus for me!

[ I purchased this for my husband as I have one just like it. With mine it fits perfect and is very comfortable to wear. I love that I can remove the arms and wear just the vest part. With the mens' the wrist part of the jacket fits snug and my husband has large wrists and hands. So he has to take the jacket off by pulling it jacket first then wrists. But he says otherwise he really likes it. Happy Birthday hubby.

Other than that, the jacket is perfect for what I was looking for. I liked that it did n't have a hood and also has zip pockets. Very stylist jacket.

If you want to wear a sweatshirt under a rain jacket this is perfect if you wear a medium size shirt youll want to up it in size only if you plan wearing something bulky under it if not, then stay to the size you wear. The other reason I got the large is my arms are longer than average and my shoulders broader than average as well! I wish it was tapered at the waist line a little bit but overall it ’s a cute jacket! I got it to take on a cruise in the UK from Amsterdam! 12 days of fun I hope! I believe this jacket will last a lifetime as I have several products from Cotopaxi! My backpack is 16 years old and still looks new and I use it a lot! If it gets dirty I just throw it in the washer and it comes out brand new! Have fun exploring the world!

I have several Cotopaxi bags and find them fun colors and durable. I love all the small details-- organizers that are just the right size and placement and pack covers along with places for carabineers.

[ Being a busy parent chasing a one year old. It is hard to find time to exercise during the day. I can rarely find time to go for a run until night time and the temperature has been dropping significantly at night time. That is where this jacket has come in. It has been a perfect run jacket for the night time temperatures. It has kept me from being too hot or too cold. It also has great reflective material for nighttime runs. Which helps me feel safe when running. Aside from running we have a vacation planned next month and I plan on bringing this jacket as the ability to convert from a jacket during the cold mornings to a vest as it warms up will be helpful for packing light.

[ What an absolute gem of a running jacket! I live in northern New England where the weather can quickly change from hot to cold, rain to snow, and everything in between. Dressing for my run can be challenging and it changes every day. Lucky, this Run Visible Convertible Jacket is always in the mix. The quality is what I love the most. It ’s very thin and breathable yet the fabric is very strong. It won ’ t tear easily and it ’s sewn tightly in all the right places. The zipper is durable and doesn ’ t snag the fabric when zipping. This jacket can take some wear and tear from both me and Mother Nature and still hold up perfectly. The reflective material in the arms, wrist and other appropriate places gives me peace of mind. I tend to run in the evening when it starts to get dark. I feel comfortable that I ’ m visible to others without having to wear extra clothing or reflective bands. You also have the option to convert it to a jacket, vest, t- shirt, and tank top style. This comes in handy when running in variety of conditions like I do. Converting it to the different styles is a bit challenging at first but after you get the hang of it, you can do it quickly. You also have the option of the hood if need be. I ’ ve run in misty, windy, hot, and cool weather. I can honestly say that this handles any condition. It repels rain, blocks wind and works well in warm or cool conditions. Having only this jacket to tackle all these conditions is very nice. Overall, this is a well designed runners jacket. It ’s well made and engineered with the runner in mind. I ’ ve very happy with it and have also received many compliments on it. I ’ d highly recommend to others looking for a versatile jacket that will last a while.

[ This jacket does run slightly small in my opinion. I personally like my running clothes snug so I felt a medium, which is my usual size, was a good fit for me. If you prefer your clothes on the loose end I would size up. While I haven ’ t needed to convert this jacket to a vest yet, it is super easy to do and am looking forward to using this feature. So far I ’ ve only ran a few early mornings as the sun is rising in this jacket but I am truly amazed with the reflected material that spans across it. It gives me peace of mind in terms of my safety while running. It ’s perfect for early mornings or evenings because the jacket is extremely lightweight but keeps the breeze and rain away. I was most impressed with how breathable this jacket is. I am a big fan of the way this jacket looks. Clean lines, nice color blocked style, very chic with minimal effort. Just because you are running or training doesn ’ t mean you have to look frumpy!

5 Holly
[ This convertible jacket is so cool! It only took me less than a minute to figure how to convert it to a vest and back, which was the only thing I was worried about. This could easily be done while jogging or at a short break, then back to a jacket in a snap. The visibility on this jacket is top notch. Highly reflective and easily seen is one of my major concerns while the fall is here and daylight runs out quickly. Living in the Midwest, we ’ ve got a moments notice before the wind comes( and leaves) and it was handy to be able to have this jacket on me. So light on my back, then keeps me warm as a jacket.

5 NiceFit
[ As the weather is getting colder, I 'm excited to have this Run Visible Convertible Jacket. I was a bit frustrated when I got hot. I tied it around my waist. This was before I saw it converted into a vest. HA HA! As a runner having options for arm protection is crucial. If you dress too cold, you 're miserable. If your dress too hot, you wear out and waste energy. This jacket eliminates this problem. It's great for unpredictable weather and my evening runs in the fall when it gets dark early. The pockets are a bit small and difficult to open. An arm pocket would be ideal. I like the ability to hide the hood. I ca n't stand a bouncing hood while running/ stretching. The vest is great when I 've warmed up and need to cool off. I also used the vest inside the jacket as a pocket for my water bladder. I know it's not what it was made for but it works great! I wish it was a tad longer. When I stretch, the small size rises a bit high where the wind hits my stomach. I really enjoy the material and colors. I have a 50k next week and I plan to use my Run Visible Convertible Jacket in the early morning miles!

I 'm a big jacket person, I have one for just about every weather situation and this is my go to in the spring and summer. It's really effective at blocking wind while I 'm biking, I 'll layer a fleece if it's chilly. During the summer it's the perfect weight for cool nights and keeping bugs off of you without overheating, it has light water resistance so this is definitely not a `` rain jacket '' but it does dry super fast if it gets wet. It packs down very small and also the perfect travel companion.

5 Dean S.
Material is flexible and light, breathes and cuts the wind. I 'm 6- foot- 2 and 160 pounds, and glad I got the XL size, even though the sizer suggested L.

Very good jacket, fit my requirements across the board. Fabrics are much softer than I expected for the heavy duty G1000, but still feels very rugged. The hood maintains a very good shape- keeps the rain off my face but provides good visibility. Zipper nice and strong. Adjustability provides a good fit. Warmer than I expected for a light jacket. Overall a great product!

5 Oregon C
I purchased one of these in Copenhagen 4 years ago, and have worn it on the beach in Oregon at least 500 times. There are no signs of fraying, material is still strong, zippers work great. If it rains, or excess wind demands it, the hood fits well and tightens with clever elastic locking adjusters. The length is just right for me, not too long like some. Chest pocket is perfect for keeping my wallet/ID. I have collected rocks over the years and just put them in the side pocket, and they are still strong. Light weight but excellent in windy conditions. I do n't need to replace it but after 4 years it's looking a bit faded so I ordered another one in a different color and it's on the way. Expect the new one is the same great jacket. Thank you Fjall Raven. In my entire life I do n't think I 've worn a single jacket so much, and I 've never taken the time to go online and praise a piece of clothing but this deserves that.

This jacket is very comfortable and has enough room to add layers and still allow mobility. It stays in my go to day pack full time. Went to New Zraland with me for more than 3 weeks!

5 ShaqKONY
[ This is my favorite jacket right now. It's light and flows with air, so it never feels like it's weighing me down or trapping heat on a run. I use it for training, but it's just as easy to throw on for a chill day off the run too versatile enough for both.

5 Guto
[ I loved the color combination. It's lightweight, compact, and easy to pack. It does n't take up much space in my suitcase, which makes it perfect for traveling.
