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.

I bought this jacket about two month or more ago. Done a few winter hikes and worn out and about casually. Warm, but if you're not moving or good at producing your own body heat and windy...its not full proof. When hiking i shed this layer and primarily use it for resting to fend off the cold. Below it use a thermal base layer and that's it. Super packable and light weight, that part is great. I'll note that I'm a cold person naturally, I wear light weight long sleeves even in the summer time. I just don't produce a ton of body heat. So far this has been a good purchase, I was super hesitant at first but it's grown on me. I have taken it with me on every hike since and plan to continue to do so.

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

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.

Fit is to size. Looks great with casual to hiking clothes. Very Warm (even with -10 degrees walking around shopping with T-shirt) in AK. Good stretch. Cleans well. Beads snow very well. Purple color is really great in person.

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!

Coat keeps me warm walking around winter in the SF. Shaped perfectly on my body that doesn’t make it seem boxy or puffy. Very cute and functional.

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!
