GoLite Neve Jacket - Waterproof Soft Shell (For Women)

I ordered this jacket for summer skiing and hiking in the mountains. When it arrived, I tried it on and it's very flattering. The only thing I would say on the negative side is if you have hips, this may be too tight. I am slim and it is fitted.

The cut, color, fabric and construction of the jacket is awesome. I wore it for the first time hanging at a party in the rain and was totally dry. Haven't tried working up a sweat in it yet. Only issues are the sleeves are a bit short and there are no armpit vents, though it does have odd opening zippers between the collar bone and chest. Overall it is super cute and well made, thought about returning it because of the few issues but after a few hours of trying it out loved it and kept it.

I bought this jacket for, moderately cold, Spring Skiing in Colorado. I thought the jacket was a dark tan but, a previous review that I read mentioned that there is a "lime" color to the jacket. I am SO glad that I read that or I would have been surprised when I received the jacket. It does, very much, have a lime color to the jacket but it is amazing how many colors this jackets blends well with! I kept the jacket. It looks awesome with slim black ski pants on the slopes and is perfect for Spring skiing in 30+ degree weather on the mountain. I am back in Texas now though and wore the jacket today with a yellow-gold top and jeans to baseball game. It was very windy and chilly today. The jacket was PERFECT! No wind penetration whatsoever! (everyone else was wrapped in blankets!) Plus, I had several compliments on the jacket as well. It is form fitting and very figure flattering as well. I am very pleased with my purchase and the color makes the jacket a little bit more unique! Go for it! It is very classy look. I love it. I also wore it to church today with slacks and heels. (Very versatile)

I use this coat for biking to/from work in Chicago and it has been fantastic! I adjust my base layer according to the temperature, but this coat has been a perfect shell even when the weather dipped down into the low 20's. Based on some of the other descriptions, the pit zips would be hard to open while biking since they are under my backpack straps. The fit is a little different, but not so awkward that it impedes its purpose. There is more room in the chest area than down at the waist/butt, however this is perfect for my use when biking. I would highly recommend this coat. The absinthe color is represented well by the photo.

Zippers do not slide well. I was unable to open the pit zips completely. The pit zips are also oddly positioned so that they cause the jacket to have a weird bulky pucker on the underarm/chest area. The jacket is long and fits snuggly around the waist. It would be really good for activities like cross country skiing but it is not flattering for wearing around town (I also had the strange green/yellow color which was better in person but still not great)

Great softshell for a lot of uses. Nice big pit zips for heat build up. I like that the fit is tapered and lady-like. It fits perfectly and is good under a shell as well. High quality and great price.

I needed a jacket to keep me dry in light to moderate rains. This is a beautiful jacket and functional as a wind layer for active outdoor pursuits. However, I had it out in a moderate rain and had to cut my activity short as water began to soak into the fabric. I chose to return the jacket in exchange for something more waterproof.

I wanted a waterproof soft shell, so I bought this jacket. It's not as warm as I expected and when I wear a fleece under it, it's a little constricting. I'm almost 5'4 and 120 lbs and have a kind of short torso. The jacket hits me at the bottom of my hip joint, right where you bend over from the hips, so it's kind of long, as are the sleeves (although I don't really mind). I got the absinthe color (why is it called that?) and it's limier than I expected, which is nice. I like this jacket but I don't love it. Can imagine better fit, more warmth, etc.

I wanted a Jacket that I could use ice climbing and mountaineering. It is just a little too cold for this purpose, but it does ventilate well. I love that the arms are long enough and I can wear an insulation layer underneath. I ordered a medium and I am 5'8" 140lbs. Too bad it doesn't have a hood.

Very nice fit, but it is unquestionably trim. Very warm and comfortable and waterproof. I have been wearing it all the time and couldnt be happier
