"I love this jacket, light weight, pockets, neutral color plus packable. I live and grew up in Florida and have skin pre cancer popping up everywhere like playing whack a mole. Last year one actually made it to the cancer stage and I got serious about grabbing a jacket every single time I walk outside. This is great for errands because I don’t have to deal with a hat. I just pull the hood up plus have coverage for my arms and have something light to wear inside chilly stores. I have not been rained on yet in this jacket but I did hold it under the shower to see if it would suffice for a rain jacket as well. I think it would for a quick dash inside. I ordered a large and extra large. I kept the large and considered keeping the XL as well for a back up but I was telling my sister about the jacket and ended up letting her keep it."
"It is so light weight I can wear it on the hottest days and skip the sunscreen. Nice size zip pockets for phone, keys, etc. A great addition to my ever growing collection of Coolibar apparel!"
"I really love this jacket and the design and especially all the breathable holes. Unfortunately, it runs just a little small and it’s too tight around the hips and too tight through the shoulders."
"Love the color and fit. Haven't had enough sun to see how well it works. Also got 2 long sleeved shirts. Can't remember name they seem soft and fit well. Medium. This was sent to my husband. I am a 70 year old woman. 5 foot 6. 130 pounds."
"Lightweight and chic! Much better than suntan lotion! I have multiple colors and the jackets wash well and look as good as new. Highly recommend!"
"I knew the sleeves would be a little short & they are . Wish the jacket itself were longer but I just really needed a new very light sunblock jacket & the color is very pretty . I also ordered a size larger & that worked out fitting me nicely . In the end not sure I’ll ever be able to use it because of the perfume smell (which oddly smells like sunblock or something ) . Don’t know if this is a return or what . The shawl I got at the same time was far worse & even after washing can’t have it in the house because the smell burns my nose & eyes & is giving me a bad headache . If this is the new smell of COOLIBAR clothing , after about 10 years of really enjoying their clothes , this will be the end of them for me ."
"a very nice light jacket, the fabric is nice although is very thin, so perfect for rainy, hot days!"
"Shorter than I was expecting (and I’m short!). Also, it has a really weird double zipper. If I had seen that before purchasing,I would never have bought it."
"I like the color, weight and feel of the jacket but unfortunately it lacks quality. I wore it one time and went to put my hat tie in the pocket and found a hole. This is so disappointing as I have so many great items from this brand."
"I bought one for myself and my daughter tried it on and said it was perfect! So, I ordered another one!"
