    Comments about REI Mistral Jacket - Women's:

    This light weight jacket is perfect for aerobic activities in cold weather like snowshoeing. It also works great as a basic in town jacket. The only downside is that it is not terribly waterproof. It's fine for the city or short trips outside but if you are out for a long day in rain or snow it can get a bit soggy inside, but that's only happened on long/wet outings. That aside, the design is so great that I still love it. I can hoof it all over the mountain and not overheat and it is the perfect summer pack along for camping. The fitted cut is totally flattering and it doesn't have a bunch of annoying logos or doodads; just a super modern clean lined packable jacket.

      Comments about REI Mistral Jacket - Women's:

      I love this jacket. The inside feels so soft. It's great for traveling-transitions easily from the cool airplane to the outdoors. My husband has this in the men's also and has worn it in all conditions including freezing temps-over a long sleeve shirt, rainy & even mild temps. It worked so well for him, I had to get one for myself and love it. It's like a cozy fleece, but with much more to offer. I would not want to be without this one. It also packs light and makes a great layer piece. I will get more.

      Comments about REI Mistral Jacket - Women's:

      I have the previous version of this jacket and have been very happy with it. It's great to have a jacket that doesn't look like I'm about to go skiing but still offer rain protection and soft comfort. I take it everywhere.

      My only complaint is that the interior lining pilled a bit. It's not pretty but it perfoms fine. I marked that the sleeves fit normally but since I'm petite I almost always have to fold the sleeves over once to make it fit.

      This is the perfect jacket for early late spring/summer/early fall in the Northwest. For all those times when you don't want to wear a real rain-jacket but need something water-resistant. I've gotten endless compliments on this jacket. An all around good choice!

        Comments about REI Mistral Jacket - Women's:

        This is a great light-weight jacket for traveling. After carrying it folded up in a bag it looks great when it comes out, it's warm, and it resists rain. I wear a size 10 and don't like clothes that are tight, so needed a size large. I have to roll up the sleeves because they are too long for me.

            Perfect casual jacket for 'in-between' weather, or for higher-paced activity in colder temps. This piece moves with you and looks great. I'd have one for every day of the week if I could afford it!
