Lived in the jacket!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket twice Since I lost weight. It is a little bit pricier than what I usually buy however it was a huge hit! I wore this almost every day as a top layer for six weeks in New Zealand Things I like about it, it is long, it is flexible, it breathes and is flattering! It was hard to buy a new one that fit better because after wearing this for six weeks in New Zealand and a year after that, there is no wear on it at all. I am 5'4" and 145# the fit is snug for a medium. I had the extra large prior and was 195# and it was snug also.
Great
Love this jacket. I purchased it because of the arms with the thumb hole loops and the added hand protection. The sleeves are long and cover my hands very well. This protects my hands from sunburn on long hikes. The neck is also great because it is tight enough that it conforms to the neck without gaping and again, protects my neck from the sun while hiking. The pockets are great and the fit is also nice and long in the body for tall women. I'm 5"9.5 and 140# and the large is perfect. It is so comfortable. LOVE it.
A great addition for layering for varying weather situations
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very attractive and versatile layer. I love the look, the fabric, and the fit. I'm usually a size Small but got the Medium to wear like a sweater. I's perfect for September weather where I live in Michigan. I packed it into a small suitcase and saved a lot of space from packing the usual fleece or heavier sweater.
I loved this, but it didn't work for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the style and colors of this jacket. But it was true what some reviewers said about it bunching up in tummy are. It needs a dart for boob area, I think, cuz it doesn't stay flat like in the picture - tho think it might work if you are an A or B cup. I tried both the M and L, but nether worked for me.
I liked the first one so much I got another!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect light jacket for wearing alone or as a layer. As a tall woman, I truly appreciate the sleeve and body length, and the trim fit suits me well, although I sized up in anticipation of the slimness. This is a great new piece in my Icebreaker collection.
My 4th one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am glad to have another color of this full zip sweater. I wear it for hiking in the mountains as a base layer, a top layer for beach walks, and to the gym. I wear it for all my travel, too. It's the perfect weight and form fitting.
Highly recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Love this jacket when it's cold outside. This is my third color I bought. The fit is snug, texture is soft, wool is warm. Definitely the go to jacket for style and warmth. I also love the fit it is very flattering and comfortable!
Nice medium weight layer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will be using the jacket for hiking and backpacking. It fits me nicely over t shirts or light weight long sleeves. I love the wrist features, there's a thumb hole in the cuff and a foldable section to make mittens.
I like the fit and finish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this jacket to layer and because of layering, I love the body contoured fit. The wool is light and warm. The zippers are quality and the pockets are roomy. I would love to see jackets in more lively colors.
Perfect fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a present for my wife. The last few years she has bought me 3 or 4 Icebreaker items. They are my very favorite. So for Christmas I bought her first one. It looks great and fits perfectly. She's happy
