Amazon Essentials Lightweight Long Sleeve Water Resistant Reviews Summary

Price and Value

Pros:

• "Great price!"
• "Good value @ $40."
• "For $49 you really can’t beat it."
• "It's worth the price too."
• "First of all, you can’t beat the price."
• "On a positive note, I got it at a fantastic price."
• "Great coat. Great price."

Cons:

• "However, this coat is REALLY not worth the nearly $50 they are charging for it."
• "The quality is $15 at most but is being sold for $60+?? I'm returning this."
• "Do not pay full price for this jacket! I walked through a smallish parking lot in the rain in this jacket and got completely soaked through."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "It's so lightweight and comfortable!"
• "It fits perfect, light weight and isn’t bulky getting in and out of my vehicle."
• "It is flattering and doesn't make me look bigger than I am."
• "Sleeve length is perfect."
• "I love the length of this coat, my husband does not, as it covers my booty completely, and he doesn’t get to ogle or grab it…I’m 5’6” and it comes to about mid-thigh when standing."
• "I like that it is roomy enough I can layer up underneath but still tapered and fitted enough to be flattering."
• "Fits true to size and very slimming."

Cons:

• "I ordered this coat twice but finally cancelled both orders. A Large wouldn’t even zip and XL was just a tiny bit bigger."
• "I ordered an extra large and it barely covered my bottom."
• "This coat runs small and had to reorder up a size."
• "Runs small. Far too tight in the arms with a t-shirt on."
• "Shoulders were too tight on me."
• "The fit is very boxy and the sleeves are short for my long limbs."
• "A little snug for an xl but not enough to not wear."

Warmth and Weather Resistance

Pros:

• "It's warm, it covers my backside and the hood is a bonus!"
• "Jacket is warm enough for probably 40-50F weather and has a good coverage hood for rainy days."
• "This coat kept me toasty. (But not that uncomfortable type of hot!)"
• "Keeps me nice and warm during the Virginia winter, though, especially with gloves and a scarf."
• "This coat is super warm."
• "It’s both lightweight and warm at the same time!"
• "Keeps me warm even on chilly New England days."

Cons:

• "It's water resistant but not waterproof."
• "I wore this tonight in 30 degree weather and felt cold, almost like the fabric was breathing the cold air in."
• "Doesn’t really block any wind so that will chill your bones if you aren’t on the move between destinations."
• "This is absolutely not a winter coat. Not suitable for Seattle at all."
• "Definitely too thin to handle harsh winters but great for fall and mild winter weather."
• "The hood also blows off your head immediately in the slightest wind (no way to adjust/tighten it) so snow gets in your face."
• "After one washing most of the cotton gathers in the corners, and is visible, resulting in ugly look. Quality is very poor."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Color was cute and looked like the photos and the material was as expected."
• "The overall quality of the jacket is impressive, especially considering its affordable price point."
• "It seems well made."
• "I love this coat."
• "I love this jacket and I was so surprised by the quality."
• "Overall it seems like a pretty good coat."
• "Liked the look, and appreciated lightness and sturdy quality."

Cons:

• "The inside layer bunch up and moves so some parts of the body might just be covered in a thin shell of polyester."
• "The material isn't very durable."
• "It's nothing more than an overpriced wind breaker."
• "This jacket is very poor quality."
• "The materials and construction are cheap, cheap, cheap."
• "The quality of the jacket is not the greatest. Would probably not recommend."
• "This coat is very poorly made. You can see the balled up fluff through coat. It looks cheap and not suitable to be worn out of the house."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "The hood is nice and snug and keeps the wind out."
• "I like that the pockets have a zipper and there's also pockets on the inside of the jacket."

• "The zipper is smooth and the pockets have zippers too!!"
• "My favorite part is the zip pockets and the length of it (it covers my bum)."
• "Pockets zip, it was rainproof in light rain, and dries quickly."
• "The elastic on the sleeves and hood keep the cold out."
