How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glücksgriff
Reviewed in Germany on 7 July 2022
Size: LColour: BlackVerified Purchase
Habe ich verhältnismäßig zu anderen Marken billig bei Amazon bekommen. Sehr leichte, dünne, wasserabweisende Laufjacke. Kaputze benutze ich kaum, stört aber nicht beim laufen.

Ist passgenau! Hat an den Handgelenken Gummizugbänder. Sage das wegen Sportuhren...

1.0 out of 5 stars Vorrei conosce il progettista
Reviewed in Italy on 7 December 2021
Size: LColour: BlackVerified Purchase
Sconsigliata! Probabilmente ideata da chi vive nel luogo con più giorni di sole all’anno e non ha mai corso in vita sua. La giacca non è assolutamente impermeabile, neanche sotto pochi minuti di pioggia leggera. Gli elastici che aiutano a mantenere stretto il capo si allentano, diventando quindi inutili. Le corde, correndo, sbattono ovunque. il cappuccio non copre bene e rimane poco aderente muovendosi di continuo. Il modello della giacca ha una vestibilitá strana. Larga sui fianchi, stretta sulle spalle e alta sul collo. Acquisto inutile, restituito.

Una gran chamarra, solo que el precio si es elevado para la calidad de la chamarra, está bien la chamarra pero muy delgada y cara

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Lightweight Jacket
Reviewed in the United States on 21 September 2020
Size: LColour: Black
As the summer comes to an end and its starting to get colder outside I was pumped at the opportunity to try this jacket. I've had good experiences with Amazon's clothing line in the past, and this is no different. This is literally the perfect running jacket. Lightweight and breathable, but also just enough insulation to keep me from being too chilly running on a cooler day. Perfect for the fall in New England.
Also had the opportunity to wear in some light rain when I was running the other day. Does a great job at repelling water and the hood gets the job done. Not used to running with a jacket with pockets, so it's really nice to be able to throw my phone is the pocket of the jacket while running too. Also, it's definitely "packable". You can really bunch this thing up to make it take up a very, very small amount of space.
Fits true to size - I got a L and I'm pretty built right now so it fits, but if I really try to stretch my arms out in a certain way it's a little tight. I could probably have gone XL. If you're like me and you're on the line, may want to consider going up a size, but that's true for me in general. Also, quality seems good to me. No loose stitching or cheap feeling at all. Also, I think it looks great to boot. I let my father wear it for a few days and when I asked for it he didn't want to give it back because he liked it so much too.
There's no pricing information at this time for me to evaluate against cost, but when it comes to being an awesome all around lightweight jacket, this ticks all the boxes for me. Whether I'm going for a walk, run, or even just lounging around the house, I've been loving this jacket... literally wearing it almost every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect as Athletic wear or a Night Out
Reviewed in the United States on 12 August 2020
Size: LColour: Black
I ordered this for my son and based on the photo, I was pretty sure he was going to like it.
Instantly upon trying it on, it became a fast favorite.
*The fabric is incredibly light weight and very "fluid", almost like you don't have a second layer on.
*As light as it is, it will likely do a nice job at being a barrier against the wind. We thought this will be a great layer to wear under a ski jacket when you're on the slopes.
*As you can see from the photo is seems to be water resistant. The water just ran right off the sleeve.
*Back flap with mesh venting helps you cut down on over-heating.
*2 Front pockets
* Back pocket zips closed.
*We bought a large. My son is 185 and 5'11. As you can see it fits more like a slim fit, not sporty fit which usually runs larger.
* Although he said he could wear this as athletic gear, he also said he's going to wear it with jeans and his nice sneakers when he goes to the movies or out to dinner. The cut is very smart and because there's no huge logo, it will work nicely dressed up a bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!
Reviewed in the United States on 6 September 2020
Size: LColour: Black
This is a fantastic jacket. Honestly, I'm surprised at how pleased I am with it. I ordered this for my son who is going on an eight month trip this week. Some of the trip is outdoors and he needs rain gear. he does have a gortex jacket that he'll bring. He has rainpants, he has a great poncho for downpours if or when he's actually backpacking. However, this will also go in his gearbag (some of the trip is not backpacking-- and he will also be staying in one place with more items during that leg of the trip). It's super lightweight and very very soft and thin. I'm really not sure how rainproof it is, it seems like it would only be good for a light drizzle. However, it's so thin and flexible, it's an excellent layer to have over a tshirt if you need something more than that.

It washes well and packs up SMALL. Weighs almost nothing. Recommended highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Active Jacket, Perfect for Layering!
Reviewed in the United States on 6 December 2020
Size: LColour: Black
I've used this ultra-lightweight sports jacket from Amazon Essentials for a few weeks now and I like it! This jacket does exactly what the name states - it's a super thin outer shell for less than ideal weather.

I've worn this jacket on runs in drizzling rain and on my bike in similar conditions. It works best as an outer layer because there's really not much warmth to be gained here, so buyer beware. I like that the fit is on the more snug side rather than loose. That means I can use it with my bike without acting like a sail.

The jacket looks good and pretty inconspicuous as far as workout/active gear goes. The yellow color this jacket comes in would be great for high-visibility.
