Review on Stylish and Versatile: Calvin Klein Women's Long Packable Anorak Jacket for All-Season Comfort by Nikki Williams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice and light but not resistant to wind or cold

I have this in Dune which is a beige sand color with a silver tinge. The material is very light, which makes it easy to pack (it comes with a matching zipped cylindrical bag that allows you to fold and store the entire jacket). I'm 5ft 2" tall and small, I ordered the jacket in a size small and the bottom of the jacket was about 2" above my kneecap with extra room in the body area. The extra room is nice because wearing this in the cold rain will require you to curl up and put on a layer indoors. The jacket is not lined at all and I can feel the wind biting my arms when the jacket is zipped and buttoned. It can be used as a fashionable waterproof layer over your outfit instead of a warm jacket and you will do just fine. Shiny silver buttons add beautiful smooth detailing to the sleeves and pockets. In addition to 2 outer pockets (which cannot be closed, so do not put paper or mobile phone in them when it rains), there is a zip pocket on the left inside of the chest. I just received it and wore it this morning for the first time and it hasn't rained for the first time in days so I wasn't able to test the water resistance.The winning choice for me was said to be the ease of care machine washable and tumble dry free. Edit: The product description has changed since I bought this jacket. Initially he claimed it was a raincoat or waterproof or something. I wear it through 2 rains and it is NOT waterproof or even waterproof. Water drips onto the wool for a few seconds, then the wool absorbs the water. A few more drops and the water will penetrate the jacket, so if it rains you will get wet on the inside. However, the water dries out of the jacket quickly if you are not in the rain. Now I'm looking for the cloak again, which is actually a cloak.

Pros
  • Machine washable
Cons
  • No shape required
