REI Co-op  Microtrek Insulated Hoodie - Women's

Since receiving this jacket in the mail, I have barely taken it off! As a first time mom, I needed a lightweight yet warm layer to go on walks in the brisk mornings. This jacket is IT! My favorite characteristics are the many pockets, including two on the inside, the high quality cuffs where my wrists rest, and the hood that fits perfectly over a ball cap. It keeps me warm without feeling heavy, and I think it’s a great jacket for any outdoorsy mom who needs an “everywhere” jacket. The length of the arms and torso is excellent for tall girls like me (5’10”). I got a Large so other layers could easily fit underneath and am so glad I did (I usually wear Medium). I only wish there were more color options to choose from!

I liked the fit of this jacket a lot. I'd say runs true to fit, but is a looser fit allowing for good movement. Five pockets gave me plenty of room to store stuff. My phone fit in the chest pocket, my e-reader, sunglasses and snacks fit in the interior pockets, and I could still use the exterior pockets for my hands. The color was great, I was afraid it would be too close to white, but I love the grey color. Neutral, but keeps me from being in all black since I live in black leggings and joggers. The only downside is the hood is a little big and can get in my eyes if I dont have a pony tail or hat to help keep it up. Also packed great in my backpack, not the smallest but still fit easily. Not a superwarm jacket, but plenty warm for most winter days in georgia, especially with room to put another layer under it.

Very lightweight with enough room for me to wear a sweatshirt underneath. I have size XS & jacket fits true to size. I wish i had gotten the small so I could’ve worn more layers under it. I’m 5‘4“ and weigh 115 pounds. I was on the edge between XS-S. I love this very neutral, gentle color (Echo Gray). Two fairly large inside and outside pockets. One left chest pocket makes it complete. The outside pockets have zippers that glide smoothly up & down. Would I recommend this? Yes, probably a great spring jacket you could layer for the cooler days. It could probably go later fall depending on where you live. Packable in its own pocket! This will be my go to jacket this summer!

This is a great, lightweight jacket for hiking in cool weather and everyday use. I've been wearing it every morning for my brisk dog walks, and for taking my kids to school on the cargo bike. It's also great for long cold hikes because it's so lightweight and packable if I need to take it off. I like the fit; it's roomy enough to stash things in the pockets without looking bulky but fitted enough to keep the wind out. There are nice cuffs and a cinch pull on the bottom (see photos) to help with wind and it's slightly longer than other puffy jackets I've had, which provides good warmth and coverage. The hood fits me well (I have a very large head) and keeps my hair covered from wet fog/dew. As a kid/dog mom, I appreciate all the pockets. The chest and side pockets all zip, to keep my phone, snacks, dog bags, etc secure. I also love the internal stuff pockets to shove things like gloves or a hat. Lastly, it stuffs into its own zippable pocket!

I’ve been looking for a lightweight synthetic filled jacket to replace my Patagonia that was eaten by my niece’s (naughty) dog. The new version did not fit the same as the one I had. This one from REI is a great substitute. Advantages are the hood is more roomy, it has interior stash pockets AND a CHEST POCKET! The fill is recycled (I think?). I wore it xc skiing in the woods and it’ll be great for hiking when I want extra insulation by itself or under my shell (didn’t want down because if it gets wet, you’re screwed). Three things I wish were different are: lighter weight/more packable, the side pockets have flaps instead of flush zippers (I like the flush look better/more streamlined), and a way to cinch the hood.

I originally got this coat for Christmas in 2020. It fit perfectly and was great quality. My favorite coat. Unfortunately December 2024, it got stolen. I immediately ordered the same one. The new one showed up and I'm so disappointed. I got the same size, but the fit is different. It's a little longer and has longer sleeves. I decided to keep it thinking it was good enough. But I've had it for a month and I can tell the quality is not the same. I wear it on my walk to work and my backpack rubbing against it is pilling the stitching. There's now little grey fuzzies where the thread is getting rubbed against. It's only been a month of me using it three times a week. Unfortunately, I don't see this holding up very long, especially with hiking/backpacking.

This jacket is lightweight down but easily compresses to be packed. It fits true to size but not much extra room to layer on top of a bulkier item such as a sweater. I love a jacket with a hood and front pockets and the quality seems good - I wish the logo was embroidered/sewn versus a decal. I received a stone-colored jacket which is feminine and neutral to match with most everything

Nice lightweight jacket. Living in Seattle, it's a nice layer for those days that start cold and end warm. Love all the pockets, you can load a lot in. Also has a nice loose fit, so it's easy to layer under. I'm partial to wearing it to the dog park in the morning, because it's light enough to be able to carry if you take it off, but can also hold all the essentials (keys, wallet, dog bags, etc).

I love the fit and the look although the arms are a little long on me. But I noticed tiny little threads coming from the exterior seams. I think for $179.00 that shouldn’t be happening. So, sadly, I’m going to return it and resume my search.

I wore this jacket for 1.5 weeks to work and for daily walks. I had to return because the insulation was coming out through the seams and stitching. I would not recommend this jacket. Such inferior quality.
