Sizing Notes

Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements. Some women's pants are available in petite and tall sizes. Typically petite sizes fit women 4'11" to 5'3". Regular sizes fit women 5'4" to 5'8". Tall sizes fit women 5'9" to 5'11".

PETITE: Generally, as compared to regular sizes, petite sizes are 2.5 inches shorter in inseam, 1 inch shorter in body length, 1.25 inches shorter in sleeve length and ¾ inch shorter in total rise.

TALL: tall sizes are 3 inches longer in inseam, 2 inches longer in body length, 2.5 inches longer in sleeve length and 1.25 inches longer in total rise.

Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Inseam is measured to the floor.

A lovely garment with a blaring, uncool logo.
TBH, I'm primarily wearing this "around"--that is, in the city. It's a lovely item for wearing in San Francisco, maybe with a fleece thing underneath when it's cold. It fits (me) well, is a lovely color, and just very well designed. I'm happy I bought it. BUT--and I'm writing this review specifically in hopes that REI personnel will take note--the logo is ridiculously large and garish. Patagonia and other high-end brands have subtle logos and they've done just fine. The size is too big for the garment and the white stands out too much. It's an expensive product but the logo makes it look cheap. If it were black, I'd run over the logo with a black Sharpie, but I don't think I'd find the right color Sharpie to hide this. It's fair if REI wants to put a logo on it, but why does it have to be so big and not the color of the jacket or a complementary color? A smaller navy logo on my light blue jacket would be classy--this is not.

Just too stiff for a jacket
Although I love the Activator pants that I have; this fabric is just too stiff for a jacket.

Appreciate your feedback Enigma - our Activator Pant has been such a customer favorite that we felt the same fabric would be appreciated in a jacket. We will take another look!

Perfect summer jacket

Love this jacket. Needed a summer lightweight coat that could be useful as well and this is it. Love the shape/cut of this jacket as well.

perfect!

Perfection! I love my activator pants so much- 3 years counting- that I went for the activator jacket- I like the sale price- this material is superb i winter- especially for NM high desert weather- it blocks bitter winds, blowing dirt, snow etc… dog fur does not stick! Great jacket I cant wait to put it to the test. I am 5’6” 125 but broad shoulders

THIS IS A KEEPER!

I LOVE this jacket. I had a similar lightweight jacket from another company for YEARS that I lost. Was looking for a replacement for a lighter fall jacket for hiking, walking... This one has made me completely FORGET about my former jacket, which is saying a lot. Its is comfortable, soft, not too warm but warm enough for those cooler fall days.

And on sale!

I was happy to find this jacket for an upcoming trip to varied climates, from 90+ degrees with humidity to snow. I typically wear the rei brand medium but opted for the large for layers. Appreciate the water repellency, hood, and we'll placed pockets, especially the one on the sternum. It's lightweight too, so will pack well.
