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

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 love the color (dark purple), pocket and fit of this pullover! Definitely order a size down as this pullover is oversized. Great find!

PLEASE read all of the reviews that talk about sizing. This item runs large. I am somewhere between a medium and a large, generally getting a large in a pullover like this, intending to wear it as a waterproof layer over a sweatshirt or sweater. I read the reviews and opted for a medium.It's still pretty big, but in a good way. The sleeves are long, yet the elastic keeps them in place above my wrists. But if my hands get cold while hiking? I can pull them down and over for extra warmth. And I definitely have room for a large sweater/sweatshirt underneath, in case it is needed for warmth.It's got an elastic pull with a toggle at the waist to pull that in if you like. Same on the hood - you can secure it on your head. Zippered pocket for secure storage AND kangaroo pockets on the front.Look at the model. That's how mine fits. A bit boxy, but totally cute if you ask me. And practical. Yes, it's lightweight. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. Buy it as a top layer for the hood and waterproofing and I will be STUNNED if you are not happy.At this price I want to go back and buy every color. But as my husband would say, "How many windbreaker pullovers (or insert any other item I am obsessed with at the time) do you truly need? Well, need and want are different discussions, and I WANT this one in every color. :-)I have no earthly understanding of the one star reviews.

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.

Charles River products seem to be cut so they are not too tight or loose. Depending on your build. I am 6' 272 lbs and this fits great.Tried several other brands before settling on this one.

Love the rich purple color! This is a great pullover shell which is good for wind and rain. Nice lightweight layer that's easy to pack and take along. Must be unisex sizing. I am 5'4", 125 lbs and ordered an XS. It's plenty roomy to wear layers underneath if necessary. Definitely recommend this jacket.

This jacket I wore when I went to a baseball game and it kept me warm and the rain out.Great price as well.

Perfect lightweight water and wind resistant material. Runs a bit large. And be careful which you order. One of the ones I received is lightly lined with flannel. The other 2 are not.

Muy buena calidad y práctico para viajar con el, no ocupa espacio y es práctico

Super léger confortable et imperméable de belle qualité et on peut le refermer pour faire un petit sac idéal pour moi en moto

Love the jacket. Perfect for spring and early fall and late summer nights!! Roomy enough for a sweatshirt under if need be 😊

If it's really pouring expect to get soaked after 10minGood for light rain only

Pedí este producto de manera anticipada, aún no empezaban las lluvias, apenas había llovido pocas veces por lo cual no había sido posible poner a prueba el producto. Sin embargo hoy, con una lluvia moderada pero constante, demostró su efectividad. En mi traslado a pie de mi casa a la oficina, aproximadamente 10 minutos. Llegué completamente SECO (al menos del torso, que es la parte que cubre) En realidad parece mágico, las gotas de agua resbalan, no penetran la fibra. El producto es 100% ligero, fácil de guardar/transportar. En cuestion a la talla, generalmente soy talla mediana, sin embargo estuve leyendo las opiniones de otros compradores y con base a ello pedí una talla mas chica, entonces pedí TALLA CHICA AUN SIENDO MEDIANO y para mi sorpresa (positiva) me queda a la perfección. Así que efectivamente pidan una talla mas chica de preferencia, por otro lado cabe mencionar que esta talla a pesar de ser mas chica de lo que normalmente acostumbro y de que me quedó bastante bien, estoy seguro de que me da todavía la oportunidad de usar alguna chamarra por debajo, en caso de ser necesario, aunque es importante mencionar, que la prenda no permite que salga el calor de tu propio cuerpo, por lo cual, a pesar de ser tan delgada, no sientes frío, pero no se debe meramente a que sea una prenda caliente, sino que se encierra tu propio calor, mientras que te lo pongas cuando aún estás seco, cumplirá su función a la perfección. Otros momentos en los que he tenido la oportunidad de probarlo han sido en carretera en moto y tambien se ha desempeñado de manera cabal.
