Since I'm petite, it is often difficult to find a coat that fits well. This Patagonia fits me perfectly, is very light weight but keeps me warm, especially with proper base wear.
I love the color and Im glad I listened to other reviews and bought a size larger than I usually wear. Its still a little tight in the back but I can get away with it. Its fairly lightweight so Id probably save it for a 40ish degree day.
Im petite so its a bit longer on me than I wanted. But it fits great and is super warm for mountain hiking while its also ok to wear everyday. Great look too.
Was looking for a long coat that didnt have a hood attached. Could only find a Patagonia. The coat is very comfortable and warm. Because my bust is big, I had to go from a large to extra large because this coat was snug across the chest.
Great jacket for those cool-in-between kind-of days along the NJ shore in spring & fall. Light enough to feel like I'm not encumbered by "too much" coat - perfect level of light-weight warmth. Nice slender-slim silhouette, but can run tight in the shoulders. This is not a coat to wear layers under. Works for me & my preferenc... Read Moree for cashmere sweaters. I'm 5'4", trim-athletic build, slightly broad shoulders. Gave it 4-stars because I tried several XS before finding one that works for me thru the shoulders - and would actually prefer it about one-inch shorter in length for those of shorter stature. However, SO happy to have found a nice light color that will work great any time of year, and love that it was on sale!! Thank you Patagonia!
I bought this coat to replace an 11 year old Fiona coat. It is perfect for cold weather when my super warm winter coat is a bit too much. The Light Balsamic color is a beautiful. I weigh about 86 pounds and the XS fits perfectly.
The Radalie parka is a very cute style coat. I love the warmth and weight of Patagonia coats. I dress layered a lot because I'm always cold at work and wherever I go. I ordered a M in this coat, it fit true to size except the sleeves were to long and it's not something that you can roll the sleeves up on because of the style. Patagonia ha... Read Mores a very good return/exchange policy.
Im a S or XS, but bought Medium since I work outside a lot and have to layer. Bought the Radalie to replace my old Lydia. Love the fit, length, warmth. My only wish is that the parkas had a hood. Its not always cold enough to wear my hooded nano jacket underneath.
I borrowed my daughters coat for a few days. It was a green one, the size was large . We both usually wear medium, but this fit perfectly and felt so good on, so I ordered my own in the grey color . I love the line, the fit, the color and the warmth . Its a perfect coat for weather that isnt extremely cold . My entire family love your products !
I am 56 and busty. I like everything about this jacket except how it looks on me. I bought an XL because I wear an L in most other brands. The hips and length are fine, but this seems to be designed for more of a pear shaped person.
Thank you for the review! We would be more than happy to help you find a parka that will work for your body type. Please [reach out to us](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) so we can review our options and send over some measurements!

Stylish Gift for My Mom
I purchased this coat for my mom. She's 5'3 and weighs around 120lbs. The product does say it is a slim fit so keep that into consideration. The sleeves are very long so my mom just folds them. The pattern on the coat is a pretty design and it gives your waist a slimming effect. It's a great coat for my mom to wear at work because it...

Very happy with this coat.
I'm 5'0" and about 120-125lbs and the small fits perfectly. I got this jacket on sale and have worn it all winter.

This was nice. The zipper was a bit sticky but that May had to do with how it fit. I am broad shoulders and large busted so this just was not a good fit. I have other Patagonia outerwear and love them!
Beware - this coat runs a size too small. I am petite, usually wear an XS and had to exchange for a S- the XS was just too tight. Its a comfortable, stylish and lightweight coat. I dont wear it on the coldest winter days, but its good for 40s and above (I usually wear a fleece underneath). The purple color is pretty.
Thanks for your feedback on fit, style, fabric and warmth, Sarah! This "slim" fit, lightweight parka will feel a bit more snug than our "regular" fit items and we're glad to hear you were able to get the size that worked.

My fave jacket!!
Seriously the best jacket. I dont know why I waited this long to buy it!! It fits amazing Im 59 160 lbs and pretty skinny, a large is comfortable and breathable. It compliments every outfit and is so warm!
This parka is so much warmer than I thought it would be. It's nice and soft, too. I'm very happy with it. The exchange process was very easy. I'm 5'6", 140 lbs and had to order the large as the medium wasn't big enough to zip up. Other than that, it's a great parka and not too bulky.
I read the reviews and ordered the next size up. The sleeves were too tight even with thin shirt. Note: I am petite and usually wear smalls and extra smalls. Great quality! Confusing fit.

Perfect jacket
Love this jacket as it works well for what I bought it for. Running around.
Fit runs small. Warm and color goes with everything. Love that it zips from the bottom up also. Makes it convenient for driving. Wish the sleeves had some form of elastic gathering as it would keep rain/snow out. Also my arms are a little short, so I could turn up the cuffs and they would stay put. Otherwise, love the jacket.
This is a great coat. Its exceptionally warm for how light weight it is. Its fits so wellnot to loose or tight around the bum and no restricted motion when raising arms overhead. Its the perfect mix between stylish and sporty.
I am usually size M, but I think it runs a bit small. so I exchanged it for L. The color is super cool, I wear it aster long run on the trails and keep me warm.
Love the style! I'm 5'7", 130lbs and a bit of a pear shape. The medium worked well for me through the waist, hips and upper back, but not through front of the shoulders, where it was too narrow - felt like a straight jacket. You can kind of see it in the video of the model wearing the navy parka. I'm small on top (34A) but it ma... Read Morede me look squashed and flat. In the end, it was just too uncomfortable, so I returned it. If you have narrow shoulders, it might work really well for you.
I usually get a large but given that wasn't an option during the sale tried the XL and like the extra room for layering. One thing I miss, wait, two things I miss are; a hood and an interior zip pocket. The exterior zip is fine but shows the bulk. I wonder about the durability and will report back on that once it has seen some wearing time.
I love this coat! It is lightweight but very warm. I have gotten many compliments, including on the fit! It is a slimmer cut which is why I sized up, but I love having shape in a winter coat! Thanks Patagonia!
I love how thin and lightweight this jacket is yet it is still very warm! I am always cold and this jacket has been fantastic for running errands, etc. Highly recommend.
This coat was everything I was looking for! I have a heavy puffy down coat and wanted a thin version for those in between temperatures. It is comfy and warm and based on other views I did size up. I normally wear a small but purchased a medium and it's perfect!
My very first Patagonia coat ever and I love it! Kept this Hawaiian girl warm on a trip to a cold city! It fits perfectly and super comfortable! I liked the quick shipping as well!!
I haven't had a chance to wear this outside, but trying it on indoors certainly made me get a bit hot...a good sign, especially since I am prone to being cold. I initially ordered an XS but while the body fit fine, the arms were too tight for me to bend my arms comfortably. The exchange process was simple. The S in this cut gives me enough roo...

To be fair, I do lift weights but I don't think that my biceps are disproportionately large compared to the rest of my body.
I bought this coat in purple on sale! Based on reviews I did size up to a large, but found it was way too big & had too much material bulking out around my mid section & back area which made me look bigger!! So I am exchanging for a medium.
I'm surprised this has as high of star ratings as it does-it has no hope of fitting someone ordering based on their typical size. I'm a standard L and it was very small, even really tight across the shoulders. I have a skinny, tall tween daughter who wears an adult xxs/xs and it fit her quite well.

Perfect parka
Great for walking the dog in cold and running errands. Sized up based on other reviews. Coat is lightweight but gives good coverage. Very happy with purchase
Love, love, love this Radalie Parka! It is just the right amount of warmth for daily wear. The Radalie design is my favorite & the fit of this style is flattering for all. I up-cycled my older parkas to buy this. I would LOVE to see the Radalie Jacket --in this same, "Sage Khaki" color!!!
I got this jacket recently on sale and wow!! It is stylish and warm. I am 55 135, athletic build and the medium fits perfect with a light sweatshirt underneath. I have already gotten many compliments and cannot wait to use this jacket for years to come!
I love this jacket. Its very warm yet not so big and bulky that its hard to move in. I get home and often forget Im even wearing it!! Practical& attractive, its just what I hoped for.
Awesome for throwing on over less warm clothes to get the dogs out for a walk in the field. The length is perfect. My only complaint is the chest being slightly small, though I have wide shoulders so this is not an uncommon problem. Fits beautifully through the waist and hip. I'm 5'6" 135 lbs.
I Got this for a Christmas present and after three weeks of wear, I noticed two little knicks in the outer material and in the back the material was even melted in a small spot due to my seat warmers!

Comfy and super warm.
One of my favorite purchases. So versatile, warm, and fits great!
I appreciate the snug fit as it keeps me warm and the coat doesnt get in the way doing daily tasks, such as getting in and out of the car, carrying groceries etc.
My only complaint is often when zipping the coat, the material adjacent to the zipper gets stuck in the zipper. I have to unzip, pull out the material and rezip.
I debated a lot about whether to size up in this jacket, and Im glad I stuck to my usual size so I can enjoy the slim fit design. If youre going to use this jacket over any thicker sweaters, definitely do size up, but its so warm that Im enjoying wearing it over long sleeve t-shirts and workout gear.

I really love the style and warmth of this coat however the zipper gets caught EVERY time. It takes several tries to actually get it zipped up. It's annoying!
Lightweight warmth and stylishly cut to flatter. Fits true to size, perhaps a smidge small.

An excellent form meets function coat.
This coat is surprisingly warm and requires few layers underneath even when it's 20-30 outside. I usually wear an XS and am glad I bought an S, like others suggested.

I would usually order a small but went up in size because it said slim fit!
I an finding that most of your tops are running small in the sleeves ,and it is hard to wear a sweater with these jackets and coats. I am a 73 year old who hates heavy coats so the weight is perfect but I like to wear layers so I need extra room for my size!
Im 50 and 95 lbs. I love Patagonia b/c the XS size consistently fits me. This jacket is no exception. Its warm enough for casual wear in New England winter months and not bulky. The stitching on the arms differ in pattern from the core of the coat which makes it visually interesting. I love it and it fits perfectly.
Its more snug that usual. I usually wear a XXS and I purchased an XS and it fits like an XXS. I really like how lightweight it feels and comfortable to move in. Im short so its a little long, but dont mind as much. Wish they would make pettie fit. Overall a good jacket, I would recommend.
I usually wear an XS or S. I wanted to be able to wear a sweater and my Patagonia down vest underneath this coat so I had to size-up to M to achieve this because the sleeves were too tight.

I haven't had any trouble with the zipper, as some have mentioned in previous reviews.
This coat is lightweight but warm. Perfect for running errands and honestly about 80% of winter days in our Illinois climate. It does run a little small so I ordered up a size up. The sleeves were just a bit long but not bad. Love the flattering A-line shape and the interesting quilting patterns.
Coat runs small. I originally purchased a medium which is my usual size and it was much too small. Exchanged it for a large which fits well. It's a nice looking coat--would have liked the dark gray but no longer available in size I needed.
I like the detailing on the sleeves and the tailored fit so it looks more feminine. The lightness with the warmth is terrific so you dont feel burdened by bulkiness
Great purchase. Bought the new navy blue and get so many compliments on the color. Super warm, don't even need a sweater under it. Love that it's recycled material.
Obsessed with this jacket. I saw it in person at a store and they only had a size M. It fit but it was snug and I would be able to have anything very thick under it. Then decided to order the large online. Its perfect. For reference Im 157lbs
Love the jacket as its lightweight and just the right length Just one concern- the zipper often gets stick in the fabric alongside the zipper and is difficult to undo. Otherwise its terrific
I got this coat so I wouldnt have to put on my giant parka to walk my dog in the colder months. Ive found myself wearing this all the time rather than any of my other jackets or coats. Very comfortable and simple. If you want to wear sweaters or any layers, youll want to size up.
I would get a small next time. I ordered a medium thinking I need space to wear a sweater under it. But it's roomy, I think a S would've worked out better. The sleeves are long.
I got this jacket on sale. I wanted to order a small per fitting recommendation, but was all sold out, so I got the XS, thinking that if it didnt fit I would just give it to my daughter.

Beautiful color and extremely comfortable coat; size up if you have a large bust
The title here pretty much captures my thoughts. The bust area was too tight for me in the L (size 34F). I would prefer the bottom "skirt" area section to be a little more trim for warmth, but it would restrict movement more, especially if you had wider hips. Overall a nice design and an attractive coat.
I have owned 2 Nano Puff jackets which are lightweight and awesome. This jacket is very similar but adds length and warmth. The jacket looks great and the warmth to weight ratio is insane. Awesome jacket
The coat is lovely and warm but runs tight. I had a medium, which is my usual size across brands for a coat, and had to exchange it for a large. The large fits well.
The zipper catches almost every single time you zip up this coat. It makes me think it was not made correctly because the cover for the zipper always gets in the way of the zipper. Very unfortunate because it is a really great coat.

Very warm, comfortable, attractive
The coat is warm and comfortable. The longer length is attractive and is great when wearing tunics.
The jacket is now a perfect fit. Initially, I bought the medium size, which was too tight through the shoulders. The large size in this cut fits me perfectly. And I LOVE the color! Thank you.
I wear a small in the Patagonia down sweater puffer jacket so I ordered a small in this. The sleeves were way to short and shoulders were very small. I returned it and got a medium and although the sleeves and shoulders are better the body is looser than Id like. Keeping it though because its so warm and comfy.
I love this coat, I don't have any issues with the zipper which I feared when reading other reviews.

The coat fits like a favorite glove, yet allows for layers. This years fabric colors have a cool reflective element to them, almost a bit metallic. I bought the Crimson + Sage I love them both. They fell super cozy & warm.
I'm 5'4" and about 115 lbs with a waistline of about 26 to 27". This fits me perfectly. This is not like the other parkas with a wider waistline. It's more flattering.

The cut of this jacket is very slim. The midsection taper required me to order up a size and will require me to have the sleeves altered. There is more fullness than I would like in the shoulders because of ordering up a size. It will be good for travel and will allow layering with light layers.
Very warm and cozy jacket, perfect length to give added warmth to bum and thighs, but the zipper constantly catches on the other side when you sip it up.

Cons: I loved the design so much that I bought it anyway but a very big con is that is had no hood! If it is cold enough to wear a parka then I think a hood would be necessary too. The bottom portion of the parka (from the hips down) is cut like an "A-line" shape which is not as efficient at keeping in heat and looks slightly awkward. This is very minor and not that noticeable but just in case someone cares I will mention it.
The one thing I would say is that the color didnt look exactly like it did in the photos, but it really looks great on me so I dont mind. Just a darker olive.
I should have heeded the warnings of other reviewers. The jacket does run small and sizing up just made it fit strangely. The sleeve were also very long on my 52 frame and they dont cinch at the end so they looked silly. Patagonia missed the mark on this one. Had the potential to be a really cute go-to!

Love the eco friendly construction, flattering fit, and warmth of this down free (cruelty minimized) Parka.

I found this coat to run small. I am a routine size small (4-6) in all Patagonia and other brands. The small in this coat was a perfect snug fit with only a t-shirt under, it would have been uncomfortable to wear any other layers. Returning for a size up.

I love how it looks but the fit is a little off for me...I’m 5’4” and 120 lbs with average shoulder width and the small is a little too snug in the shoulders. Was really hoping a small would work since I am usually an XS but it’s a little slimmer than I anticipated. Also...the zipper is majorly flawed- 90% ... Read Moreof the time it gets stuck when zipping up. I think with a zipper upgrade and a larger size I would really love this jacket!
Thanks for the feedback on this parka and we are sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you. We'd be happy to help if you'd like to try the bigger size, or you are more than welcome to just return it for a [refund](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Great jacket
I'm right in between a med/large but since this jacket goes around my waist (and is a slim fit), and I sized up to a large. It fits great, and washes well.
I truly would not recommend this coat to anyone. Although it is long and warm, there is a strip of fabric underneath the zipper and every SINGLE time I try to zip the coat, the zipper gets caught on the fabric every single time and it takes forever to get it unstuck.
Thank you for reaching out to us about the zipper problems you're having with your Radalie Parka. The backing that that keeps getting stuck is there to help keep the wind from entering through the zipper teeth. However, since this is troublesome and causing an issue, we'd be happy to take it back under our Ironclad Guarantee. You're more than welcome to initiate your return here, https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html.

Love except for zippers.
The length, weight and color of the coat is perfect (I have the oyster white). I love everything about this coat except for the zippers. They get stuck on the fabric almost every time I try to zip them up. I had to break one of the zippers to get my car key out of the pocket after trying to get it unstuck for about an hour. For that reason, I would... Read More not recommend this coat. It also runs very small. I am usually a Medium in coats but had to buy the XL in this style.
This Parka zipper gets stuck EVERY TIME I want to wear this coat!! It is VERY frustrating when you spend most your time trying to get the zipper unstuck!
Hi Tonya, we are very sorry this is happening to your Radalie. Please feel free to return or exchange your parka under our Ironclad Guarantee. You can begin that process here, https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return.

I love this coat except the ZIPPER!!!
I have this coat in black, great versatile coat. I would buy more colors even except the ZIPPER gets stuck 3 out 5 times I wear it! It is ridiculous! This is a MAJOR design flaw!
Hi Breezy, thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We're really sorry to hear about the trouble you've had with the zipper. Feedback like this is crucial to improving designs for future seasons so we've passed this along to our design crew. Overall, your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).
I love this coat and it fits perfectly. I’m so bummed because the zipper gets stuck EVERY single time I wear it. It’s now so stuck I can’t wear it so planning to call Patagonia about what to do.
Hi Carrie, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're really sorry to hear about your zipper constantly getting stuck. We'll reach out to you with some further assistance.

Hope you dont have hips
I am an XS everything at Patagonia except in this coat. Its SUPER tight on my hips. Size up if you have any curvature whatsoever on your body. This coat is made for stick humans.
Used your size chart to determine what size to purchase. The jacket runs small. Was glad to receive it before Christmas for a gift, just upset it ran smaller than I thought.
Nice color choices and looks great, good for work and casual. Not for extreme cold or hiking. Runs small- I usually wear small in Patagonia and am glad that I purchased a medium.
Judith, this particular coat has a "slim" fit, as opposed to our "regular" or "relaxed" fit garments so you chose well. We're glad to hear you're liking the coat for light winter casual use!

Wanted to love it...
I received this as a gift, and I was so excited. I was given a large and it was far too tight. The arms are way too snug, and I couldn't even bend my arms or move them around. I understand it is slim fitting, but I never wear over a medium in Patagonia, which was why I was so disappointed that the large was so tight. Will be returning.
I am pretty consistently a size small in Patagonia and pretty much every where else. I'm 5'5" and 125lb-130lbs. I don't have narrow shoulders but I don't think of myself as having broad shoulders either. This coat was really tight in the shoulders and the arms seems a bit short - which is nuts because sleeves are always too... Read More long for me! As always the customer service was awesome and a medium is already enroute. I just hope it's not too big in the middle or too long... As far as the coat itself, it is thin but I think the price and description make it clear that that's what you're getting.
I was a little worried about about the jacket being able to zip over my hips because I haven't had the best luck with long Patagonia jackets. I'm average height and weight but am pear shaped. I got a large and it fits in the hips when zipped, but it's a bit big on top which is okay because it leaves room for a thick sweater underneat... Read Moreh. I think the silhouette helps the fit and gives a flattering look. I like that it's not very puffy, but still really warm!
Then buy this jacket! It would have gotten 5 stars if it weren’t for the zippers! The front zipper as well as the two hand warmer zippers often get stuck. Initially, I assumed it was a user error (as my family and I never had issues with our Patagonia products) unfortunately, a user error it is not.
Apart from the pesky zippers, this jacket is per... Read Morefect !
Took this coat with me to Cincinnati in the middle of December and sat outside for 4 hours for a football game in 32 degree weather. I was SO WARM! I was not cold at all! I love the double closure zipper which makes it easier to walk in this parka as well as sit down. I recommend this buy.
I don’t know why I held off so long buying this jacket! It’s styling while still being warm, definitely go up a size as I believe because it is a slimmer fit, it runs on the small size. Also, you won’t be able to wear a chunky sweater underneath. Wish it had a hood, but I still love this jacket !
I really wanted a longer coat that is super warm but lightweight....and stylish....this Radalie Parka is all of that! It does run kinda small, so if you wear lots of layers, be mindful of that. I would highly recommend!
LIke other reviewers have said, the coat is a bit snug. I take a medium in most tops, but for jackets I like large for layering allowance. The large on this was snug in the arms and shoulders and when I had a light sweater on it made me look like a 5 pound sausage in at 3 pound skin. So I went for the XL which is perfect. I can wear a bulky sweater... Read More underneath and it looks like it fits better. Color is great (Balsamic). I worked up a sweat just trying on the two sizes, so I am sure it will be nice and warm when the temps fall in CT in the near future. Great coat and stylish but only 4 stars due to fit (I have never needed an XL in my life!). 160 pounds and 5 foot 7.
I would love to say this coat was bought so I could summit mountains, but we’re being honest here: I’m a mom of two young kids, and I needed an easy, stylish, warm coat to wear on our nature walks and school drop-offs. The fit is amazing … when I’m outside, it keeps me warm, but one of my favorite things is that when I wear it inside, I don’t overh... Read Moreeat (it’s just so good at keeping you comfortable). The sleeves are a bit longer than I assumed they would be, but they’re awesome when you’re driving. This is a wonderful, high-quality coat, and I’m excited to keep it forever.
My husband bought this coat for me last winter. I love the weight and the slim fit. However, the zipper gets stuck EVERY TIME I try to zip it. I forgot how utterly frustrating this was last year until I pulled it out again this season. I’ve worn it twice recently and have just left it unzipped both times. Obviously this is not a great solution. I w... Read Moreish I would have returned it but guessing it’s too late now.

nice and slim but runs a tad small
You can't completely load up in layers under this parka. It becomes quite tight in the arms if so. I would have sized up. I love the coat, but should have exchanged it for the next size.
Thanks for submitting a product review with your feedback on sizing. This is very helpful for our customers and designers. Please note, this parka is a slim fit which can make layering challenging when not sizing up.

fantastic coat
I've had other coats from Patagonia similar to this but this is my new favorite! It's the warmest one yet. highly recommend!
VERY slim fitting! I am normally an xs/s. I bought a small. I can only wear thinner shirts with this coat. No hoodies or sweaters will fit comfortably with it zipped. It’s a beautiful, warm coat so I ended up not returning it. Size up if you buy!
Got this for my gf and she loves it. She had been trying it on at every store, and so it had been a long term want for her. She looked great in it so I had to get it for her.
This is perfect! As other reviewers have said, the arms are a bit tight, but I have skinnier arms and don’t like bulky sleeves, so it’s perfect for me. I love how thin the material is, the coat is warm yet not bulky.
Really liked the style of this coat, but it just didn't fit; sleeves too long, length just too, well, long. Patagonia, I wish you would consider making petite sizes!
Hi Melissa. We're sorry this didn't fit as you expected. We have passed your feedback along regarding the inclusion of petite sizing in our products. Please feel free to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) this parka if you'd like to and haven't done so already!

Perfect Parka
Not only is this parka a perfect for, but the style and fit is awesome!
I normally wear a size small, even in a slim fit, but this jacket in size Small was too tight in the shoulders. Very nice cut though, and love the New Navy color. Exchanged for medium.
I love this jacket! The fit is perfect for me. I am tall and slender with long arms and the M is great. It is a slim fit but I love it and can wear a light layer underneath or just a t-shirt.

So cute and comfy but...
I honesty could cry writing this and have exchanged this once before for a bigger size because I noticed that the armpits are extremely tight and constricting with the fabric. I went up to a medium and now it’s frumpy everywhere else and so tight in the armpits. This causes me to sweat and itch. I guess I’ll be returning it again and I keep telling...

Good not gteat
I just received my Radalie parka and I have to say the pics online are a bit misleading. I'm 5'3" and 120lbs and I was hoping for a better cut to this parka. Its too big in the upper arms and there is too much room in the waist, not a flattering silouette. Patagonia makes warm outerwear but they have to work on their style.
Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry about the pictures being misleading. We are always happy to give you the measurements of any item. You only need to reach out to us.

Excellent Customer Service
I had a mishap in the shipping process of receiving my coat. The customer service was easy to reach and was very helpful in resolving the problem.
I love this lighter weight parka. It looks great while still being functional. I am a slender 5’5” and purchased a small and I am happy with the fit. I could could easily layer over a normal sweater but probably not a thick sweatshirt. I live in Virginia so this will work all winter for me.
Beware! This coat is a very slim fit, it is described as such. The upper torso could be larger. I ordered a medium and I usually am a small . I am keeping it to wear thru fall but doubt that it will fit if I have any layers on.
This seemed like a good quality item but for the second time this year the sizing was totally different than previous Patagonia items. I have multiple XS jackets (two nano puffs, one better sweater) and they fit great and I can easily fir a sweatshirt underneath. However, this item (and another winter jacket I tried earlier this year) was extremely... Read More tight in the XS. Seems like Patagonia changed their sizing or something.
Gorgeous color. I've only had the change to wear this once so far but it was very warm and comfortable. The sleeves are plenty long. I'm 5'8" and apparently have long arms! I love it! I got an XL and it fits perfectly. I wish it had a hood but I have others that have hoods.
This is my favorite Patagonia product I have. I love the fit, I love the color, I love the pockets, I love the length--there's hardly anything I don't like. The only thing I wish I would have had the option of is for a hood. This one doesn't have one, but I think it makes the coat more professional without it. I'm not even sure ... Read MoreI would buy it with a hood, but the option would have been nice (as hoods are almost a necessity here in WA).
I purchased the burgundy color and it looks great. Love the fit and style. I always get compliments when I wear it. And despite being thin, I have found it warm during this very cold Minnesota winter. However, as other reviewers have noted, there are issues with the zipper. I have to be super careful when I zip it up or else the edge of the coat ge... Read Morets zipped it. And it’s really hard to get unstuck. I’m worried one of these times when I am trying to get it unstuck I will rip the coat. Someone told me that they wanted to buy the same coat but I recommended against it due to this issue.
For me, this is the perfect combination of warmth without the bulk. Sizing and fit work well for me. It's my go to on cool and cold days; I just modify what goes underneath. Love the green! However, my concern with the product comes with the darkening of the exterior fabric around the collar and wrist cuffs. It makes the coat look dirty or wet... Read More, which of course, makes me hesitant to wear it. I assume it has something to do with those parts of the coat coming in contact with my skin, but I've never had any other coat do this. It's such a bummer, because I do love the coat - just don't want to walk around looking like a grub. :(
i never write reviews but i love this coat!! it’s slim, but still warm. the pockets keep my hands more warm than gloves. the multiple pockets are very convinent. since it is slim fit, i recommend sizing up if you want to wear a sweater underneath or extra room. this keeps me warm in WISCONSIN winters!
I have been looking for a jacket like this for a LONG time. I agree with the other reviewers that it runs slim, I sized up and it fits great. The mahogony color is so versitle, goes with black, brown and anything really. The coat is not down which helps keep the price point down BUT, it is extremely warm! I live in Maine and thought I wouldn't... Read More be able to wear it on the really cold days, but no problem, it keeps me toasty! Also, its light so I don't feel bogged down by it. Finally, the exterior breast pocket fits my phone/wallet perfectly allowing me to be hands free to help with my kiddos. I love this jacket and would highly recommend it!!!
I’ve searched for years to find a jacket like this! It’s super flattering, even for larger bust ladies. Love the burgundy color, tall collar, and fleece lined pockets. Highly recommend! It is slim fit, but it fits true to size when you consider the cut.
If you’re one of those people that finds yourself often rushing out the door, this is not the coat for you. The zipper catches every. single. time. And it’s not easy to wrangle loose. I have missed the bus to work multiple times due to this. And this does not happen with any of my other countless Patagonias. The fit is great, 5’6” / 150 and got a m... Read Moreedium. Also to note, maybe due to my height or the size of my butt, it covers my butt standing fine but when I sit, it rides up above my butt
I bought the medium and it fits great (although a little snug in the arms, but I can live with that). I live in New England, so its perfect for the fluctuating weather. I just wish it came with a hood!
Love the long coat- lightweight but warm for New England. There is a problem with the zipper! I get stuck with the fabric in one side and can't move it- at least every other day.
After trying to find a longer mid thigh jacket, this is a winner.
I'm between sizes in Patagonia and purchased the larger size (medium) and still don't have much room to spare. I agree with others that this runs on the small side. For reference, my bust measures 36.5 and I can wear a thinner sweater or NFL fan jersey underneath this. F... Read Moreor those with more athletic arms and shoulders, it may be snug as it's cut trim in those areas.
The weight is great for the mild NW winters here. It's rare that a heavier jacket is needed and this one is perfect for most days. One more caveat: the navy is a close match for NFL football team jerseys.
This is my new go-to coat. I bought the green and constantly get compliments. Definitely runs small. I'm 5'3" and usually a size 4/6 and I bought the medium. It's definitely a slim fit but is very flattering on. I only gave it 4 stars because it needs a hood. All winter coats should come equipped with a hood! Patagonia seems to ... Read Morebe a bit stingy when it comes to hoods on their parkas. It definitely isn't as warm as down, but this coat is more versatile, like a 3 season coat. I'll save the down coat for very cold days.
I'm 5'9" 140 lbs and love the fit, styling and weight of this jacket. I'm almost always a Patagonia medium, and this is no exception, though the arms are slimmer and bulkier underlayment fits snugly. (That said, it's cozy and warm, so bulky things are not necessary!) My only struggle with this jacket is its zipper- unlike s... Read Moreo many other Patagonia coats, it has a hemline that overlaps the zipper (to cover it for styling purposes, presumably?), and it gets stuck in the zipper EVERY TIME I put it on (or take it off).

I had read so many reviews on this jacket before I purchase and was a little nervous that it wasn't going to fit. I am 5'5 and 125 pounds, and I ordered a medium. It fits great!

I was looking so forward to getting this coat this season. I’m an athletic build, 5’6’’ and 150. I usually wear a Medium in all Patagonia jackets and button down shirts. I ordered a Large in this jacket to allow for layering room and post-pregnancy baby weight. It is so tight I would be lucky to fit more than a thin T-shirt under this. It’s so tigh... Read Moret in the arms ans shoulders but fits alright in the mid section and hips. I refuse to buy an XL as I think this sizing is all off. Usually Patagonia does great, and this jacket style is perfect for my needs, but unfortunately I’ll have to try a non-slim style instead. I’m hard pressed to think most women with any upper body muscle mass would fit in their normal Patagonia size.
This is my first Patagonia purchase and all I can say is WOW. This coat is incredibly soft and warm and has a super flattering cut. I’m officially official a Patagonia customer for life! I bought a medium and am 5’1 145lbs. If you wear bulky clothing I would size up. I can wear a hoodie underneath and still zip it up comfortably.
I love that this coat isn’t bulky, goes past my rear end and keeps me warm. I am 5’ 11” 160 lbs and I usually wear a size 8-10, despite that I wear a size large in this jacket. I like the style of the jacket in general......it’s casual and classy all at the same time. In general I feel like Patagonia tends to run small
I live in Northern California, where it tends to drop to low 40s/high 30s at the peak of Winter, and while I love the fit and look of the jacket, this jacket is not warm even with a warm base layer and sweater underneath.

However, being someone who tends to get cold easily, this jacket did not do much for me in terms of warmth and when I wore it on a trip over the winter where it rained, it definitely was not water repellent.

I received this as a gift from my husband two years ago and it is my favorite. I’m 5’ 2” 130 lbs and I have the size small. It’s fitted design is very flattering.

I've been wearing a M for 2 days. 5"7', 145 lbs. I bought it on sale at a Black Friday event and love the deep mahogany color. I have to agree with other reviewers concerns. The sleeves are a little short and the polyester fill is not nearly as warm as down.
This parka is a great weight for under a raincoat and has a really nice design. But I always wear a medium in Patagonia, and most other brands. I'm 5'10" and slim.

I've owned 9 or 10 Patagonia jackets over the past 25 or so years. I'm 5'4" and weigh 120-125lbs, and have always been a size small.

However, wh... Read Moreen I brought the jacket home and wore it around, I found that the medium was so big from my ribs down, that it was shapeless and if I sat the jacket pooched out.

Sorry, Patagonia, but this jacket is poorly designed w/r/t fit.
I just got this coat and I've already put it through its paces, and I'm very happy with the results. First- I'm 140lbs, 5'4, and I ordered a medium. I'd call the fit slightly loose. When I am wearing multiple layers, I still have room for a scarf inside the jacket, which is perfect for winter. It comes down a bit lower than... Read More mid-thigh, about 6" from my knees. I've worn it on long dog walks in 30-degree weather with total comfort, and I've worn it on 40-degree hikes and was a little bit warm, which is expected. The navy color is matte and very flattering. It's extremely soft and comfortable, and there's plenty of flexibility in the arm/elbow area. The two-way zipper is ideal for an active person, and you can tell the zipper is high quality. The pockets are decent, my cell phone easily fits along with keys and some tissues, and when I put my hands in the pockets my wrists are covered. I chose this jacket because it wasn't feathered, as I've hated the feathers that shed on my clothes, and this does not disappoint- but it's still incredibly light weight. No regrets!!
10/10. Keeps me warm in the cold New England winters. In my case size ran true to size and allowed for sweatshirt room underneath, but the jacket is thin enough for a larger winter coat to go over top. The coat is form-fitting and stylish.

I really like this coat. It’s very comfortable. The sleeves are a little long on me and the middle section is a smidge tighter than I would like. There’s still room for a sweater underneath.

I bought the green version in November and since then I have worn it in California (50 degrees),New York city (40-55F),Massachussets (30F),and Santa Fe (25F).

What a great coat!! Warm but not too bulky. Love it!! The added bonus is the mission behind this company. They are kind to animals and the environment,which is the main reason I bought this coat. Well done,Patagonia!!
Warmer more substantial than Fiona -same femme fit
I just tried this on in a store - it runs a tad bigger Han Fiona. I'm small in Patagonia but depending on your shoulders and breast size,you may want to get one size down and try. I was xs. The grey is a gorgeous silvery shade not as dark as depicted on the website.
Great fit,keeps me warm,not too bulky,very flattering! This seems like a great transition jacket from fall to winter. Don't think it will be warm enough for the extreme winter temps in New England but I love it so far! Highly recommended- wish I could get it in every color!
