baleaf Women's Rain Jackets Waterproof Windbreaker Packable Running Lightweight Cycling Jacket Reflective Hooded

I'm 5'2 134lbs. Super cute jacket. Material is light weight. Color is cute. The arms are a little long, but it has velcro to tighten as needed. The back scoops down into a tail for a flattering fit. I love it.

So I ordered both Bikewa and Baleaf, in 2 sizes. I was actually more interested in the Baleaf because I liked the more periwinkle shade displayed in the ad, however they are exactly the same purple as each other and not periwinkle. The inside fabric and outside are identical, the sewing patterns are identical, the purple colors are identical. Here are the differences- the Bikewa has armpit vents and black zippers and a smaller reflective name on the back than the Baleaf which has no armpit vents, purple zippers, and a larger reflective name on the back. Otherwise, they are identical! The quality seems great imo but I have not worn it outside yet. They seem to trap heat. As far as fit- I ordered a XXL in Bikewa and a L in Baleaf… I will return both for an XL. I am 5’4” tall, 177 lbs. I loved the back length on the XXL that covered to the bottom of my rear, L went to the middle of my rear. L was nice looking fit up top with my 38” bust (36 B/C) but a little tight on my hips (42” hips). XXL was a little too baggy everywhere so thinking the XL will put me in the sweet spot for my shape. The arms are very long on both sizes, going past my finger tips, but both have “hook n loop” wrists to fix that. The hat is my only complaint on both- it is extremely deep and goes over my face even if I adjust the front opening tighter. It would benefit from a way to adjust the depth. I suspect if you wear a ball cap, bike helmet, or put your hair in a big bun or something to add depth, it might help. It is not a breathable fabric (not many waterproof options are- sounds swooshy and feels rubbery/plastic like and has a faint smell at least when new. I will be buying an XL to keep. Both brands seem great, just note the differences if they will matter to you.

Fit is perfect! Enough room to wear layers if needed, adjustable Velcro wrist bands to make more airtight, can also make the lipped hood tighter. I like the zippered side pockets, large zippered back pocket and the jacket zipper works well, too. 2 inside pockets are a bonus! Usually women’s jackets lack pockets, not this one. I love that I can just roll up the hood and tuck it under with Velcro. And best of all, this jacket folds into itself and zips into its own compact storage pocket making it easy to pack. Oh, and the bright lime color is cool. It’ll be easily visible on cloudy days. Great buy for the money!

The color is bright and should be very visible to drivers for safety. There are also some reflective strips. I was hoping to replace my beloved Pearl Izumi jacket that was fabric only with some kind of water-resistant not waterproof treatment, and this is not it. This is a RAIN jacket and has that plastic-y bonding in it. There is an upper back vent, but overall I would not expect this jacket to be breathable. Anyway...The Large fits nicely for size 10-12 and the shape is as flattering as you can expect from this type of jacket. There is a grippy strip in the inside of the back of the jacket and toggles to cinch it in to keep it close to your body riding your bike. There is a large zippered back pocket. The hood is weird. I don't think that once it's been rained on a bit that the "visor" will stand up off your face at all - certainly not maybe? I'd wear a billed hat under it if I needed to keep rain off my face for any length of time. I don't know if/how the hood would work with a cycling helmet. I didn't try it. Overall, the jacket seems very good quality, but you probably wouldn't use for high activity unless it's cooler.

Great high visibility biking and walking jacket. I am typically a small or medium. I ordered a medium and can wear a moisture wicking tee and thin thermo fleece layer underneath if needed. It is water and wind proof. It does breathe but I would not wear it in a tropical rain situation. The color is as bright as what is shown thus VERY high visibility. There was no weird smell when I opened the bag.

I've used this jacket quite a bit over the past few months to jog and hike in the rainy Pacific NW.This jacket repels water better than my other raincoat of similar price and quality. I have used it so much, that it may need a bit of a refresher of water repellant. When it does get wet, it dries quickly.The arms are a little long for me (I'm 5'4"). The hood is also a bit big, and I have a very big head (can't normally wear women's hats). I do get a bit sweaty inside while jogging, but that's hard to avoid in a water repelling fabric. I've also managed to ignore the noise that it makes as the arms rub against the body.Otherwise, a very useful jacket! The pockets are awesome! The side pockets are large, and the back pocket is huge. All keep contents dry. It's very lightweight, which is important for jogging. I also like the velcro at the wrists that's easy to adjust while I'm moving.I got the blinding yellow color, and I definitely don't have to worry about being seen on my roadside route.

I really like the look and and the fit of the jacket. I purchased the fluorescent yellow and the medium was the correct size for me (5'3", 115 lbs). It is fairly lightweight and has the features I wanted. The problem is the zipper. It gets stuck at the bottom as soon as you put the end in place and attempt to zip it up. At first I thought I hadn't gotten the end all the way into the slot or that a piece of fabric got caught. Nope, it just wouldn't zip. I was finally able to wiggle it back and forth while yanking it up (carefully) - but as soon as I unzipped the jacket to try again, the same thing happened. I tried several times hoping that it would loosen up and zip smoothly, but it gets stuck every time. Sadly, I will be returning it.

Have not worn in the rain yet but the look and fit of this rain jacket is perfect for my size - length and overall fit.
