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.

I think in general this jacket has a wider, more generous fit in the shoulders due to the raglan sleeve. This is a good thing for my daughter who otherwise fits in an XL, but some of the other styles of XL clothing with inset shoulders were a little tight for her. This jacket fits her great, without having to size up elsewhere in the garment. Cotopaxi always has nice-quality clothing that fits my daughter's style. I don't really own things from this brand, but I have purchased several for her, and she looks great in it.

I purchased this jacket primarily for travel, and the fact that it was on sale was a wonderful bonus. What I love the most - other than the most beautiful shade of blue imaginable - is the fact that I can wear this jacket in a variety of weather conditions. It's great for layering, but also on its own. It has that "just right" amount of warmth for colder mornings. Whether you're hiking on a mountain or exploring a new city, this jacket is perfect. I can wear a small or medium, but I chose the medium and it's true to size. I have room for layers when needed. I highly recommend this jacket!

I loved this little jacket! It is such a perfect soft material, blue color, and the way it is made. If it fit me, I'd "live" in it. So many useful details like good hood, pockets and underarm ventilation areas (genius!). But I'm super bummer to have to return. It runs true to size but it was tight in my shoulders and too short on my longer torso (I'm also 6'1). Sleeves were good length though. For a reference, I have a slim frame with wider shoulders, small waist, pear shape, longer than normal torso. The jacket didn't flatter my shape and the length looked weird/half cropped.

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

This jacket is great! I purchased my first Cotopaxi jacket (Fuego) in December as a Christmas gift for myself, and I’m so glad I purchased this one too (as a Mother’s Day gift to myself?) The Pacaya is luxuriously soft, and I really love that it’s in solid colors - I’m not a fan of the colorful stripes. I chose the Iceberg (my favorite color of the 4 available), and I couldn’t believe that color was on sale for half price and available in my size! I’m very happy and glad that I now have 2 Cotopaxi jackets that I love. Some reviewers say the Pacaya keeps them dry in the rain, but because there is down in the lining (read the label), I would try to protect it by wearing a rain jacket over it in rain, as with any down jacket. Thank you Cotopaxi!

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

Wonderful hiking jacket for my recent trip! Good weight for cool fall evenings and layering. I do wish it had thumb holes - I feel like that’s the one thing it’s really lacking. I love the fig color. The hood tightening mechanism is interesting and it was super long hanging off the back of the hood (I have a small head) which seemed to be an odd design choice. I sized up to a M; I usually wear an XS-S but found the small too be too tight in the sides and shoulders.
