For reference I’m 5’4” with a 44 inch bust and ordered an XL and it fits perfectly. Lots of room for a warm liner or sweater underneath.
I live in vancouver where it’s often grey and rainy. My kids have so many options for beautiful hi vis rain gear and I’d been looking for a colourful, fully waterproof, breathable coat for ages when I came across this one. I’m so glad I did! I love it and feel so great when I wear it. I’ve never had so many compliments - strangers stop me to ask about it every day.

I’m 175cm tall. Measurements - bust 95cm waist 82cm and hip 105cm. I purchased a size large and the size is fine for my liking - I could have easily downsized to a medium, but it’s my preference to wear a crossbody handbag under my jacket. I walk with a cane, so I like to be as hands free as possible - I never carry an umbrella. I was out walking in torrential rain for just under an hour - I was completely dry underneath (except from knee to ankle which was not protected by the jacket). The hood stayed over my head which was fantastic (compared to my other brand of rain jacket where the slightest breeze flips it back). I feel like it may be a bit sweaty if someone wore it hiking, but as I’m only ever strolling, I haven’t found it to be overheating. Upon arriving home, a couple of shakes and it was dry enough to put away. I am a very happy customer.

I already had one of your jackets, exactly the same, however I lost it overseas so I just ordered another to replace it.

The quality of the jacket is great, it works well in rain, and I love the terracotta colour. It is light enough to pack for travelling. My normal size is 14-16 so I bought an XL but it was way too big. I returned it and exchanged for an L, and even that is a little too big in the top and sleeves - so probably an M would have been ok. My other issue is that the interior feels 'plastic' against my skin in summer ... it should be ok when I am wearing winter clothing.
