Arc'teryx  Coelle Shell Jacket - Women's

A good in “between jacket” I bought this jacket thinking it would preform differently than it has but I am still a fan. Wore it on a couple hikes this spring, it’s very light weight and packable but I’m unsure how it would hold up in really heavy rain and snow. I am happy with my purchase but would definitely need something if the weather was anymore intense than Spring showers

I've had so many different rain shells from so many different companies that are all great and then they end up not being waterproof enough which leaves you neither high nor dry. I got this jacket in the Twilight Trail color way which was periwinkle with bright orange hits. The color was sick, the cut of the jacket was perfect for me since I have a shorter torso and bike commute in Seattle. The jacket itself isn't super long so it feels like the right length to cover my clothes, but not sit uncomfortable on my hips/butt. Really solid jacket, really stoked to have it! Super packable too.

Oh, ARC’TERYX, you had me dreaming of frolicking through Alaska’s wilderness, bone-dry under your sleek, overpriced embrace. Instead, your “waterproof” light jacket turned my 3-day backpacking trip in Denali into a soggy nightmare worthy of a one-star rant. Sorry, this jacket is not waterproof!

I initially was very excited about this Coelle jacket. I absolutely love the colour combo of purple and grey. I didn't realize though how lightweight the jacket actually is. Upon feeling the jacket, though advertised as waterproof, its just a bit too lightweight for me. Maybe I should have a little bit of faith, but the lightweight nature doesn't leave me feeling confident in waterproofing against the rains of the Northwest. I bought as an online purchase. I wish the jacket was a bit sturdier. The design is a bit boxy, which is great for layering or someone even with a bit of a tummy, the proportions on the bottom are generous. I think overall this jacket is better suited to a weekend warrior than someone who needs a daily rain jacket. If I had wanted a light weight jacket, this would have been ideal.

I love the look, the feel, the lightness. It's windproof for sure. It's not very waterproof - I used it during a trail run in Ireland. It rained for 5h - and it didn't protect me as well as Beta does. Not as warm either. But, I do use it like a lightweight running/cycling jacket or urban cool-looking jacket:) But for more serious weather - I'll stick to my old Beta. I might try waterproofing Coelle with Nikwax or sth.

Use this jacket for running and for cycling. It's perfect fit for wider hips than the Norvan. Light enough to pack in my cycling jersey or seat bag for long rides. Breathability for running is top notch, don't feel my sweat or humidity while wearing it. Truly a great piece.

Such a cool peice to have for day to day use. I have it in my car all the time, its compact and goes with all my outfits. keeps me warm and dry in all activites - hike, walking around the city, errands, etc. Honestly crazy how thin it is and is waterproof.

I love how light this product is. It's perfect for late Spring/Summer. I have the Beta AR which is heavier for cooler weather. Both have a slightly roomier cut to allow easy layering. As a person who is 5'4", the shorter length is a plus as well.

This is a great rain shell for travelling! I took it on a trip to Ireland, it was super light and packed small for my suitcase, and fully stood up to the rainy weather there. the fit of the jacket is also sleek and flattering.

The Coelle is what I was looking for in a sporty fit, super lightweight shell that will keep me dry in warm rainy days. It feels beautiful against my skin and I have room to move. Love It!!
