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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This style makes the perfect transition from business attire to casual and roomy.

I'm looking for a coat/overcoat for the off season, I'm 5'6" and 112lbs, and like with Calvin Klein usual, size XS fits me. sleeves are about an inch longer than usual, but that's typical of CK and might be just as good if someone wants maximum weather protection.) Received the coat this morning and took it with me on my late November midnight flight from Louisiana. Afternoon to Wisconsin. This style will be the perfect transition from casual wear on the plane to a kind of business suit of tomorrow. My smaller stature is overwhelmed by too much fabric. Its neat, slightly shaped design allows enough room for multiple layers when needed and allows for a comfortable fit. , high winds and misty rain and I'm amazed how we all wear this basic coat with thin nylon lining keeps cold air and water out. Meanwhile, having previously been worn in 70 degree weather, the coat was more comfortable than one would expect. After reading all the reviews before purchasing I was surprised to find that the coat is durable and not at all flimsy 'lightweight' as some have suggested. And contrary to some reviews of other mid-season coats, it looks like this coat won't wrinkle as easily when worn or packed. The individual style of the coat is rounded off by a slightly shiny woven fabric and small silver hardware. The front zipper is covered by a wide front placket, which makes the coat more elegant. Deep front pockets are let into the seam and, although without zips, have a button placket to offer another piece of keeping things in place and weatherproof. In fact, the lack of zippers, the custom stitching, the high quality fabric, and the little glittery details elevate this coat to a level I didn't expect. Thank you Rewin!
