Not right

The description for this item is incorrect. It says the weight is 60oz, which would convert to 3.75lbs, and that it can be used for backpacking. That is not true. The bag is heavier, at 5lbs 4oz, much bulkier than I expected. I am going to return it. |

Lovely :)

The jacket turned out to be a bit thicker and warmer than I had expected from the online description, yet it is light and suits my needs well. The product description omitted a few details: the jacket has 4 pockets (2 front, 1 sleeve, 1 internal chest). Though there isn’t a separate lining, the interior feels fleecy. The sleeve cuffs are adjustable with Velcro. Bottom edge is adjustable with an elastic cord. Fit: I ordered an XS in port/espresso. My chest size is 32B which snugly fills out this slim-fitting jacket. I wish the jacket were longer, but I am 5’6’’ and the XS was probably designed for shorter women. I get a little cool exposure when I flex my hips (sit, bend over) but that’s also partly from wearing low rise pants. The raglan sleeves are comfortable and allow for a wide range of movement. The sleeves are a good length for me, ending just below my wrists. Function: The jacket arrived just in time for a weekend in the mountains. I layered it under a down jacket and went snowshoeing on a snowy breezy day. It felt perfect! Around town I wear this jacket alone. For a one who gets cold easily, this compensates without adding bulk. It provides excellent protection against light wind and snowfall. I look forward to using it to climb. |

I <3 these shoes!!! Thanks SAC/BC, for the speedy delivery. Women's street shoe size 7 = Size 39 Wasabi = PERFECT. Toes satisfyingly slightly curled, foot hugged snug as a bug in a rug with adjustable velcro, ankle free from chafing. Nice, moderate stiffness and arch of sole. Overall, totally awesome. No need to thermomold in the oven. Wore these immediately to the gym upon delivery. Climbed same levels as usual. Feet were happy the whole time. |

I got the hot pink in XS, which fit great. I had been debating between XS and S because I have skinny legs and a bubble butt. Fortunately the XS accommodated my curves nicely. I hate being cold and these babies keep my lower body delightfully toasty. Non-itchy, warm, sleek-- totally awesome. |

Not for my body type
03-06-09 ![]() |
I ordered a dark gray XS from SAC. The material was great, sleek and comfortable, but sadly the top did not fit to my liking. My body type is similar to previous poster Janan-- tall, slim, 32B with a narrow waist. While the chest/straps seemed to fit fine with appropriate coverage/support, the mid section was unflatteringly wide to the point of looking baggy, particularly in the back. Functionally the top would have been great, but I returned it because it didn't look cute on me. |
