Review on Lands End Squall Raincoat Black Women's Clothing and Coats, Jackets & Vests by Bobbie Garrison

I love the fabric and construction of this lightweight jacket. It keeps out the wind and rain when I take my dog to the dog park every morning. I also like the large pockets---perfect for carrying tennis balls, keys, phones, etc. Another thing I love is the ease with which it washes out like new. Finally, I like the front closure. It has a zip fly and a storm flap with buttons instead of Velcro. Velcro is the worst closure for a jacket because it gets absorbed by the down and eventually the velcro doesn't keep the jacket closed. But it has clasps, so don't worry. The only thing that bothers me is the Velcro on the cuffs. I would have preferred a click or two. I would also prefer a detachable hood like the Squall jackets I've bought before. But other than that it's a great, durable jacket.
