Wantdo Womens Hooded Packable XX Large Reviews Summary

Packability and Size

Pros:

• "It packs down into a small bundle and doesn’t take up much space."
• "Rolled up in the pouch it took up very little space in my suitcase."
• "This meets my needs, it has an awesome bag to roll it up and not only fits in my roller bag but also my travel backpack."
• "It folds up into a tiny bag, so it’s perfect for winter hiking - when it gets too hot, it can easily be put into the backpack without taking up too much space."
• "It packs down so well in the little bag that it comes with!"
• "It packs down into a small soft bag which is really nice for packing in your suitcase or carry on bag."
• "Love the travel pouch it comes with!"

Cons:

• "I was disappointed to not get a pouch so i removed one star for that reason."
• "It's kind of tough to get it into the pouch but I learned you have to fold it up and then press it to get all the air out before you even attempt to stuff it in."
• "Couldn't believe it could fit in the small carrying sack and then fit me, but it does!"
• "I LOVE that when I don't need it that it zips up into a tiny little bag."
• "Loved it for the 'compact it down to that bag' because then I could pack in my backpack when not in use."
• "A benefit she likes is that you can roll it up, put it in the bag it comes with and toss it in her backpack without being bulky and not fitting."
• "It's lightweight and compressed well into my day pack once temperatures warmed throughout the day."

Warmth and Insulation

Pros:

• "The material feels cheap and plasticky, but it's pretty warm."
• "What I didn't anticipate was how warm it really is."
• "So light, and amazingly warm."
• "I bought this jacket for hiking. I used it this weekend when the temperatures were in the low-mid 30's and wore a tank top, longsleeve silk, topped with a short sleeved shirt under this jacket and was toasty warm."
• "I wore it the other day when our temperature got down to 16 degrees and it was perfect (with my sweatshirt)."
• "This jacket is very warm and scrunches up very small so it’s good for traveling."
• "Surprised at how warm it is given how light it is; just need two layers under it for super-cold (< 20 degrees)."

Cons:

• "Also, this jacket will not be a winter jacket, way too thin for that."
• "The jacket is not built with good insulation."
• "It’s NOT for really cold weather, but perfect for cold fall days."
• "This coat was much thinner than I was expecting, and thus not very warm."
• "It never got warm enough that I could wear it for anything less than 60* weather."
• "NOT water-resistant. I can't be out in the snow for too long without starting to feel damp."
• "I'm not sure it will be warm enough for Iceland in September."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "The fit was good, true to size, maybe a smidge big."
• "Surprisingly not a single rip or tear after multiple uses - and my daughter is rough on clothes."
• "This jacket is thin, and fits nicely."
• "The fit is very feminine and lightweight - it looks good on."
• "It fits well even with a fleece without it being baggy."
• "The jacket fits well. I got a medium which is loose fitting enough to wear layers underneath."
• "Very comfortable, soft, and good fit - not bulky."

Cons:

• "The sleeves would be too tight at the elbows if one were wearing a heavy sweater or sweatshirt."
• "It’s not super flattering on a curvy body, it’s boxy."
• "The cut was tighter in the hips than i was expecting."
• "The jacket is not built with good insulation. I wore the jacket and a fleece layer under and all the feather pieces shed on my fleece."
• "The jacket will not zip up with a thicker sweater under."
• "Great jacket. Super warm. However, for plus size women it’s an odd fit. Loose on top and tight on the hips."
• "The only thing i take issue is this jacket was not flattering to the figure as pictured."
