Title: Great! Fits well for my body type and super comfortable material.
Review: I got this jacket for myself (I'm female, 5'2 and 160lbs), and it fits great! I look compressed because of my height and weight, and I was very nervous about the fit of this jacket. Usually I'm a medium-large in men's, but I figured I'd try a small this time since some of the reviews said that the jacket runs big. The jacket DOES run the teensiest bit big, but it was mainly at the chest and waist for me (may be because of the difference between male and female body types). The size small will run short from shoulder to bottom if you're taller than ~5'4. The bottom of the jacket has this elastic band that runs at the hem of the jacket, so it'll squeeze your butt a little if you zip up the jacket.The quality itself is good! It's fairly lightweight, and I don't mind wearing it in the Arizona heat. The mesh lining on the inside is super soft. The pockets are awesome, too! They have zipper pockets on the outside and inner pockets with a velcro strip to keep the inner pockets closed. The cuffs at the end of the sleeve have two buttons, so it's easy to change the cuff size depending on the size of your hands. The collar was great, and I don't have complaints about the quality of the material.Overall, this jacket is better than I thought it would be! I'd recommend buying it if you're looking for a more lightweight jacket.

Title: Excellent light jacket
Review: In my area it's only really cold a few days of the year. While I own several coats and jackets that keep me warm during those few times, they are too warm the rest of the time. I needed something light, something to keep off a chill while holding off the wind and the occasional light mist. Enter two great choices: The London Fog Auburn Jacket and the Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket. Both jackets were available from Amazon at reduced prices so I bought both. The bottom line is I like both and I'm keeping both. Both are similar and both are winners. My advice is to buy based on color and cost because you can't really lose.The Weatherproof Classic Golf Jacket differs from the Auburn Jacket by having knit cuffs and bottom edge. The Auburn Jacket has elastic in the bottom edge and the cuffs snap closed. I have no preference either way. The outer fabric of both is microfiber polyester (whatever happened to poly/cotton twill, I wonder). Both feel like the same weight and look like they could have been cut from the same bolts of cloth except for the colors. The liners are a little different with the Weatherproof being slightly heavier but in no way bulky or thick. The Auburn has a lighter feeling fabric inside. Again, I have no preference either way. Fit-wise they are very much alike. The Weatherproof is a little longer in the body than the Auburn when the Auburn is bought in standard sizes. Personally, I probably should have gotten the tall size of the Auburn but reviews indicated the Auburns sleeves are a bit too long and tall sizes usually have even longer sleeves. I'm almost exactly six feet tall with a long torso so I can usually go either standard or tall without either seeming off. I ordered the Auburn in standard length and it's okay but just a tad short. However, I wouldn't want the sleeves to be any longer. The Weatherproof fits me perfectly in length and the sleeves are okay too--not as long as those on the Auburn. I ordered XXL in both jackets and I cannot detect any difference in the fit around the chest or waist. They're roomy enough in my case for wearing a heavy sweater if need be. I've worn them with thick sweatshirts but nothing heavier.I've worn both jackets in 45F weather but not in the rain. Both cut the wind well. I don't expect either to be waterproof like my Eddie Bauer rain parka. Probably fine for a light mist or a quick shower. What I find so great about these jackets is that they're comfortable over a wide range of temperatures. I can wear one while driving without having to deal with the bulk of a heavier coat and I can wear it indoors for extended periods without feeling overheated. Even on cold days, I usually only need a jacket for those times I'm outdoors between buildings or from the car to a building. I only need a really warm coat when I'm outside for more than a few minutes.Which to buy? Both are great. I have a tan London Fog Auburn and a light blue Weatherproof Classic Golf. Both colors will coordinate and match with other colors fine. The London Fog has more color choices here on Amazon so that might be a factor. My decision was made based on price. At the time I bought both jackets, the prices were at a low point and both jackets were bargains.EDIT 01/18/2019:I've worn both these jackets for a while now and I have to give the edge to the London Fog. That's based on a couple of things about the Weatherproof that wasn't evident at first. Mainly it has to do with the knit cuffs on the Weatherproof. In a very short time, they are beginning to pill on the right side of my jacket. I'm not sure this speaks well for the quality of the fabric for the longterm. Another thing I did not notice early on is that the cuffs on the Weatherproof do not match. The left cuff's knit is different from the right. This might explain the pilling of the right cuff. However, I admit I like the way the knit cuffs fit compared to the snap cuffs of the London Fog. On the London Fog, the cuffs feel either too tight or too loose, depending on which snap I use.

Title: Pleasantly Surprised!
Review: It fits perfectly with enough room to add another layer if needed. I've been very impressed with how windproof and warm this jacket is because it doesn't look like it would be warm. Maybe I'm behind the times in what today's tech. can do. 🙂 I like all the pockets and the security some of them offer. Overall, great quality and nice features.

Title: Comfortable and light jacket!
Review: Living in Southern California I don't really need a jacket like this other than when traveling, so I tried to find something that was decent quality without spending too much. For around $50 this seemed to fit the bill, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The jacket is nice and soft to the touch, blocks the wind and super comfortable. There are zipper pockets and velcro pockets and everything is excellent quality. This would have been a good deal at twice the price!I am 5'11", 160 pounds and got a size medium

Title: Great jacket, but the sleeves are YUCK.
Review: I actually liked this jacket the best out of the ones i tried on. The style and fit were great, 3 interior pockets which i loved. however there is no elastic on the ends of the sleeves. you have to choose from either a very loose fit or a super tight fit. They either need elastic or velcro to adjust the sleeve opening. that was the only reason i returned this... I don't understand a company that could have such a great design and fit, but then totally miss the mark on the sleeve openings.
