Cotopaxi  Pacaya 2.0 Insulated Hooded Jacket - Women's

I bought this to replace a 10 year old Patagonia that I loved beyond measure and did not want to give up. This jacket got me over my clothing-induced melancholy almost instantly. It is impossibly light, soft, and fluffy feeling, and produces the nicest little cloud of warmth between your body and its lining. I have not worn it in temps much below freezing, but it has kept me cozy so far. There are definitely room for layers, I think. I picked an xl, generally wear a 12 or 14 in jackets, and there is plenty of room for a bulky sweater underneath. I bought this during the holiday sale for 30% off, which was such an unexpected treat, but would pay full price in a heartbeat. It’s a fantastic everyday jacket.

It fits perfectly. The color is gorgeous. Can’t wait to buy more things.

Just not warm. Would be fine in early fall but who needs down then (in NY). Even with a fleece under I was chilly in high 40s weather

I'm very hot-natured so this coat is the perfect balance of being warm and lightweight

This was my first Cotopaxi purchase and I have no regrets! This synthetic/lightweight jacket is a perfect fit for me—depending on the brand I'm typically a S/M but went with Medium and the arms are roomy enough for a hoodie underneath. I usually have trouble with the sleeves being too tight so I'm very pleased. If you're debating purchasing this jacket, definitely give it a go!

I have a long commute and I live in the Northeast, meaning it's often 50F when I leave in the morning and 80F when I come home. So I need a packable layer, but I also have preferences: it can't be shiny and it has to actually look alright on me, which is hard because I'm petite. This fits the bill, except calling it "packable" is a bit of a stretch. I'd love to see if Cotopaxi has a video tutorial for this, because I just can't get this jacket fully into the designated chest pocket. That's probably "good enough" for putting in my bag but it'd be nice to be able to zip it closed. One other thing, which is more personal preference. I think this jacket runs big. I usually wear a womens' Medium and I exchanged it for a Small because I felt like I was swimming in the Medium, plus I prefer more form-fitting outwear to begin with. In the Small I could do a t-shirt and a light sweater comfortably, which is all I want anyway. If you prefer to wear heavier layers, then this jacket's probably true-to-size for you if you don't mind the length in the body and the arms.

This jacket feels very soft and lightweight. I bought it for my mom, but when she preferred a different color, I decided to keep it for myself!

Super soft and cozy. I have worn it in the pouring rain and on 30 degree windy days. . Waterproof, warm, soft, and breathable. This is now my go to jacket!

I’ve been looking for a jacket that is lightweight, but also keeps you warm when needed. I found it!😍

Ideal for when you need a middle layer for a rain shell, or if you are doing a hike in the cold
