Lowe Alpine Intrepid Polartec® Wind Pro® Jacket (For Women)

this jacket is quite attractive; however, the furry sleeve liner causes them to cling to bare skin and they will not pull up over a shirt of any sort, despite there being enough room inside of them. I am returning it.

I so wanted this fleece to fit! I'm 5'8", ordered a medium, and the arms just barely brush my wrists when I'm standing straight, so it's a no-go for me. Otherwise, TOP quality on a rugged, practical, and gorgeous piece of gear.

This is a great looking, great feeling jacket.

Ordered jacket in medium. Loved the look. Loved the feel. Hated the fit - too small through the chest, sleeves much too short. Jacket made the circuit through my family. Finally found a home with my daughter who normally wears an extra-small. Perfect jacket if you have short arms and are able to size up.

I had been regretting that I bought it, because I didn't need another jacket. But it was a beautiful blue, and very comfortable. So, it's a keeper.

for my teenage daughter as an inbetween jacket

The jacket is a warm fleece with a lining that looks almost like a fake fur. I usually wear a medium, but I had to return the medium I ordered because it was far too small especially around the chest. The seams in the armpits were also thick and hard and irritating for that reason. The arms also appeared to run short. Bottom line, this is definitely not a roomy jacket to throw over other winter clothes, and you should order up at least a size.

Usually I wear a Medium top in a size 8, but this medium was so snug I could barely move my arms and once the coat was zipped - forget it! I had to return this and didn't want to deal with a larger size since this one had such a poor fit.

The overall fit of the jacket was fine, I especially liked that its sleeves were not really long. but I didn't really like the material of the outside of the jacket (I was expecting fleece) and the inside was really a problem. When I tried it on it shed black material all over the long sleeved shirt I had underneath, and though this might have been fixed with washing, I didn't want to take the chance that it wouldn't be. It also seemed very static prone and I didn't like that either.

My teenaged daughter has "permanently borrowed" this jacket from me, and she is a picky gal.
