I specifically bought this rain coat because the hood was detachable, (hate hoods) and it has a silky liner so your shirt doesn't drag through when you slip it on, and because it's light enough, but has some weight to it.I walk dogs every morning for 2.5 hours and I need coverage but not a down or fleece coat which gets too hot. I wasn't sure what size to order as with broad shoulders and a large breast, I generally take a L or XL depending on the cut of the coat. Since people said this ran small, I opted for the XXL and it fits me big enough to wear a hoodie and thick turtleneck underneath during the colder mornings. I could have gotten away with an XL if I just wanted to wear this with a summer top. I like the XXL because I can cinch it in a few inches at the waist and I have lots of shoulder room to throw snow balls or Frisbees, etc. I always keep my coat zipped up and it fits well with plenty of room.With the XXL, the chest is 52 inches and the coat is straight so the waist and hem is also 52 inches. I have more than plenty of room for hips and bending over to pick up toys, etc. The zipper is plastic and glides easily even though it does not have a reverse zipper. The pockets are easy to fill with dog treats and easy to put my hand in and pull them out in a hurry.The length is perfect to keep the wind out and covers the buttocks fully. The sleeves are a bit long but can be rolled up at the cuff. I wear a sling pack across my chest when I walk and this easily slips over the coat. Happy with the extra chest room.To get the wrinkles out from being packaged, just throw the coat in the dryer with some dryer balls and a wet kitchen towel for five minutes.Happy with the Royal Blue color.something brighter than the everyday grey, black or dark.Have not needed to wash this but I will put it on the gentle soak cycle overnight and hang dry during a sunny day outdoors.Lastly, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a rain coat. It is priced right and I will be happy with it for as long as it holds up. It is sewn well and is sturdy enough for my needs and should last a good long time without breaking the bank.
