ExOfficio Latitude Jacket - Soft Shell (For Women)

I plan to use this for travel jacket and hiking in Italy.

The Latitude is a very well made attractive jacket. I purchased it in black. It is soft, fits well and has nice deep inside pockets as well as a small left sleeve zippered one in addition to the outside ones. I was looking for a presentable rain, windproof and all purpose travel jacket that doesn't wrinkle and this is it. The tag doesn't mention waterproof, so I poured a small puddle of water on the sleeve and tried to rub it in. There was no leak through. Water beads on the surface. Only con for me is the too long sleeves. This is minor considering how nice this jacket really is and you can adjust sleeves with velcro. It's a keeper and would buy again.

This is one of the finest examples of workmanship and design I've seen in a long time. Lots of extra's and they're all high quality, like great pockets, adjustment options, hood attachment/detachment, zipper and snaps, fine seaming that makes it lay nicely even though its fitted and I'm no longer svelte. It provides a flattering, slenderizing profile. The XL works well for my size 16 bod. Sometimes the Ex Officios run small/tight/short for me, but this one is perfect. Great product and worth the price, even though I was hanging back due to pricing.

I liked this jacket so much that I bought one in both colors. This jacket looks great on, and is very comfortable. It has a hood. It has a light lining, so adds a little warmth, but not too much. This jacket will be great for spring and fall...and winter, if you live in the South!

A very comfortable, nice looking jacket. The zipper stuck on the first one I ordered, but I liked the jacket so much that I ordered another---actually two, one in each color!---and their zippers work fine. This is not a heavy jacket--will be perfect for spring and fall. This jacket will work in the rain, but also look appropriate on sunnier days.
