Little Donkey Andy Women's Waterproof Rain Jacket Outdoor for Hiking

Best little jacket I've ever owned! Fit was perfect, kept me warm and dry but very lightweight. Just fantastic for a trip. Would buy one in every color if I could.

Warmer, but still lightweight. Great color options, have in coral and lite gray

For water resistance, please look at other people’s reviews. This review focuses on fit and comparison with my old, Columbia Splash-a-Little Jacket. I am a 64yo woman, 5’4”, 147 lbs., 38D bust, relatively small waist, 44 hips, narrow shoulders, short arms. I wanted a slightly-warmer-than-the-Columbia shell to wear over a Petite Large L.L. Bean light puffer jacket, for rainy days with temps in the 40-60 degree F range. I also sought a dark color because the Columbia easily shows dirt. I purchased an XL in the LDA rain jacket after a Large in the LDA Women’s Softshell Jacket (Ski Snowboarding Jacket with Removable Hood, Fleece Lined and Water Repellent) proved both too warm and too tight. First, this LDA jacket will serve my purpose. I can wear it with or without my puffer and can probably add a polar fleece vest as well. Because of my arm length, adjustable cuffs are a must, and the quality of the jacket in this regard is exceptional (photo included). The Velcro strip is long and strong, yet easily adjusted. Another plus is the adjustable hood. No matter how tight I try to cinch down the hood on the Columbia, the slightest breeze takes it right off my head. LDA's hood cinches down well, without obscuring one's vision. Fit across the hips is snug, even with the adjustable cord at its loosest setting. One photo shows the difference in hip width between the Columbia and this jacket. The biggest negative is that there is no defined shoulder. This caused the LDA jacket, with no puffer underneath, to shift backward on my shoulders, even more so when partially or fully unzipped. I found this bothersome enough that I may opt for the Columbia on single-layer days. I would drop from an XL to an L, but I suspect the jacket would then be too snug in the hips. Side Note: The Columbia jacket has a two-way zipper, which would help were *it* tight in the hips. The LDA jacket would also benefit from a large pouch on the inside, just somewhere to protect a letter or other large item from rain. In summary, LDA obviously cares about producing a high-quality product but could broaden its appeal by considering women of various sizes. If you're going to build in an adjustable bottom hem, why not make that hem wide enough to be adjusted?

Very happy with this jacket - it fits really well and I have been wearing it every day now for a week. The length is just right, not too long not too short. Pockets are roomy enough to carry a phone comfortably. Sleeves are longish which is great for being in the rain. There is a velcro for those who prefer regular sleeve length. This jacket has breathable lining but the outer fabric is waterproof with no outlets so when zipped up the jacket is not breathable.

Took it to Iceland. Before my trip, I wore it in the shower twice to test it. Completely leak proof. Note that there are different versions of the raincoat listed. I got the high tech one, the more expensive one. It fit true to size, with plenty of room for layers underneath. As a tall person, it was plenty long in the arms and overall. It's a thicker material (which I wanted bc a lot of the packable raincoats on the market feel flimsy), but it packs just fine. Has under arm ventilation, adjustable hood, pockets. No complaints.

I'm in love. You got a new diehard Little Donkey fan. Waterproof - We were swimming at a waterfall in GA when it started pouring rain and we had to quickly hike back before our stuff got soaked. I was drenched and freezing! The moment I put this jacket on, I felt warm and shielded from the rain. It didn't stick to me- it was breathing. It kept me dry the rest of the day. Weight - I was skeptical that this jacket was actually lightweight. It looks too bulky to be lightweight. Sure enough, I picked it up and it was light as a feather. Shocked. It also rolls up and packs up nice and neat into the hood so I can store it in the brain of my pack. Style/fit - I'm a mighty 5' 3" and 120lbs lady and normally I wear a small but I love baggy clothes especially jackets. I ordered a medium and I would say it was the perfect amount of baggy. I could probably wear a chunky sweater underneath and still feel like I can move around. Now, this jacket is stylish. I love that you can put the hood away. Even with the hood out you still get that collared look. The cut is beautiful. Even though I wear it baggy, it creates a pleasing silhouette that accentuates the curves of a woman's body. Very cool. MY ONLY COMPLAINT is I was REALLY sad that I ordered the mosaic blue because it looks kind of teal in the picture. My favorite color. But IRL it's just navy. Overall I am extremely pleased with this jacket. It's so comfortable, no picky or scratchy spots.

Overall this is a good jacket but I may return it. For one, it runs a little small if you have big hips, a liiittle too short, and the purple is way more vibrant in person, unlike the eggplant color shown. But the main reason I would return as opposed to exchanging for a larger size is because of all the velcro closures. They should ALL be designed with snap closures and that’s a huge oversight from either not testing these out in the field or being designed by a man. My hair, whether down or ponytail or braided, gets caught and torn up by the velcro at the neck closures and all around the convertible hood. The design of the jacket is supposed to allow the hood to be rolled up and hidden inside the collar, which is incredibly impractical to transition out in nature and also ends up weird looking. IMO if you’re planning to be out in the rain you need the option to have the hood, so just have it accessible. No one wants a puffy collar where a hood is “hidden”. Also, the collar that the hood is supposed to roll up into has Velcro all around the inside and the collar never stays in place, so the Velcro is always revealed for my hair to get tangled in. Just commit to a hooded jacket or not. Or have the hood be completely removable with snap closures. The same goes for the Velcro at the wrists, anytime you tuck your hair behind your ears or are handling something that might get caught or grazed. The only reason I haven’t returned this jacket is because I needed it asap and got it pretty dirty from working on a boat doing turtle research and I don’t want someone else to receive the same jacket by mistake. So I may just remove all the Velcro myself and glue on snap attachments. But I’m leaving this review either way because this design needs updating!

I'm very pleased with this rain jacket! I did a lot of research before choosing this product and I'm glad I did. Great features and thoughtful touches I really like include the following: - It's a lightweight shell, so I can wear it in the late spring and summer as well. Really - there is no filler so you have to wear layers during colder weather. - I tried both the Large and Medium and kept the Large because the Medium felt too uncomfortably tight. I'm 5'4" with a 37" bust and 37" hips, which is why I had initially ordered the Medium based on the sizing chart. However, the Large feels much much more comfortable without seeming baggy, especially around the bottom hem. (I'm wearing a thin shirt and sweater underneath in both photos.) I could've been OK with the Medium size because it didn't restrict my movement, but I'm glad I was able to return it. As the photos show, the two sizes don't look substantially different, though. - It has three pockets (yay): one on the inside and two side slit pockets on the outside. They are all zippered (yay). The outside pockets have vertical openings, but they drop down into a well so I worry less about items falling out. - There's a drawstring around the bottom hem and the hood, as well as velcro fasteners around the wrist areas to tighten those openings around your body. - The jacket has an interesting feature I've never seen before and like: you can tuck in the hood into the collar and fasten that collar closed with velcro. So the hood is not removable but you can tuck it away. I uploaded a photo of that tucking in process partly in progress. - I ordered the bright blue jacket so that it's easier for drivers on the road to see me when it's dark and raining. It's a tasteful bright blue hue rather than a garish one. (The interior lining is red.) Overall it feels like a high quality jacket, and the price is fantastic, especially given all these features.

Der beste Sommerkauf 2021 Die Jacke ist leicht, man kann sie sehr gut zusammen falten. Sie hält den Regen gut ab.

I really like this jacket, but when I ordered my normal size, it needs to be 1 size larger. Otherwise, I am please with the material and quality. You can see in the picture how well water beads off of it, but I haven't yet cleaned it.

Testée en conditions randonnée, protège bien de la pluie et du vent. Légère a porter. Couleur gris fidèle à l’image. Taille normal.

Ich mag diese Regenjacke sehr, super leicht und die Farbe ist toll. Hält gut Regen und Wind ab. Ich musste sie zurückschicken und eine Nummer kleiner bestellen. Danach hat sie super gepasst. Allerdings nur für Frühling, Sommer und Frühherbst geeignet, sonst wäre sie zu dünn.

Schnelle Lieferung,gutes Material,Größe passt perfekt
