Stio  Lupine Hooded Jacket - Women's

This is a beautiful jacket with an understated a-line cut; it is flattering and classic for spring/fall wear or summer showers. Gives classic trench coat vibes with greater versatility/wearability. I had the pebble color and after months of wear the light colored fabric cleans easily to look good as new. The issue was a faulty zipper. The dual- direction zipper could result in misalignment- this happened a couple times and I was able to fiddle with it for a while to correct it but the final time I was literally stuck, zipped into my jacket and had to wriggle out of it with the zipper intact. Jacket is no longer wearable,

I’ve had my eye on this for a while and I have been extremely happy with my purchase. The cut/ style is so cute and the medium fits my 5’4” 140 lb frame perfectly with room to spare to wear a sweater underneath if desired.

I had an aging Gore-Tex rain jacket that I needed to replace. I searched for awhile for a snapfront /zip coat as that was a deal breaker if there were no snaps. I like the longer length( great coverage) and the brilliant red "inferno" color too. There are only 2 small drawbacks for me and as there is no zipper vents under the arms and the pockets are a top snap only. I had been used to a side opening but this is ok for me. I also bought a medium as I intend to use a fleece or down jacket/vest underneath for colder temps.

Giving this 4 stars because I haven't worn it in the rain yet, but I will comment on size, style, and fit. I am usually a size M in Stio clothing. This is my first piece of Stio outerwear. I sized down to a small because the medium was loose and baggy. It looked too big, although if my goal was to wear it with a puffy coat underneath or lots of layers, then the bigger size might have been OK. I'm 5'2"/145/DD and the small offered plenty of room to wear with a heavier sweatshirt. I bought the yellow color which has a nice amount of gold in it, sort of like a saffron. Very pretty. The style is excellent. Note the pocket design and placement, especially for the outer zipped compartments—so smart to keep to those on the outside of the main jacket. The longer length is perfect, and the split flap in back has two snaps to secure or undo according to your comfort. The hood offers good coverage, especially for those of us who wear glasses. The slightly longer back gives it an urban trench coat vibe, but only just a little. I'm very pleased with it and hope it keeps me dry!

I bought a large to make sure I could wear it comfortably over another jacket. Fits perfectly by itself, or over a fleece sweater. Incredible construction. The hood secures so you can actually see out and doesn't fall on your face. Flap snaps close over zipper closing. No rain getting in. Can't say enough about the quality of the construction. Can't wait to put it to the test on a rainy day.

I had been on the search for a raincoat that didn’t feel like a plastic bag. I love this coat. It is long and covers my bum, the front pockets are very useful, it has a nice bill on the hood and it’s attractive. M is good for my long arms and slightly broad shoulders.

Love the cut and placement of pockets on this jacket. It’s truly waterproof and you can wear a sweater under it allowing you to wear it all year long. Love the accent pops of color and the navy is just right.

Comfortable jacket, fits great. Don’t like that the arm/wrist lining extends past the cuff every time I put on the jacket. The lining seems to be longer than the outer sleeve material.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coat checks all the boxes. It keeps me dry and allows me freedom of motion which is essential for me and my daily barn chores. It also has plenty of pockets!

Used this jacket on a trip to Iceland & Norway - great for cool (not cold) weather and wet days. While not Gortex, it is water resistant and kept me dry and warm.
