Sierra Designs Hurricane Jacket - Women's

A great find
January 08, 2010

I needed a black rain jacket for my active niece at school. I wanted waterproof and economical and she wanted black, breathable, and nicely cut. It was a last minute purchase that arrived on Christmas Eve morning before we left for our Christmas exchange. It was a super gift and a great shopping experience.

cheap product!

paper thin and too short. The draw string around the neck did not work, and even if it did, it would have been hard to work.

Great rain jacket...highly recommended!

This jacket is great! I got the Leaf color and it is vibrant and fun...the hood is deep enough for me to wear my hair in a bun and the brim still covers my face (I've never found another hood that does this!) It is very light, so if you want something warm either buy a size up and wear a sweatshirt underneath or go with another one...

Great jacket!

I love this jacket - it fits perfectly, it's lightweight but waterproof and wind resistant, and the citron/ shale colors are great. This model is great if you want to be both active and stylish in inclement weather.

Not so good...

I thought the sizing was great and the style looked good BUT I didn't like the liner. It felt cheap and was uncomfortable. And the zippers and seams under the arms were bulky and uncomfortable too. I returned it.

Pretty jacket

I'm usually a medium, but bought a Large and it feels a bit snug when I wear a sweater under it. However, I have not really used jacket yet since I bought it as raingear for a walking trip to Ireland in two months. I love the color. Good price. My sister who is coming along on the trip bought sameone in green, size Medium and she is happy with it.

Good Jacket for a Good Price

My wife was looking for a light weight water proof jacket and this jacket has been perfect. It looks good, the hood stays up, and the jacket repels water very well. Highly recommended.

Great Rain Jacket!

This is a wonderful rain jacket! I did have one problem though. I ordered a women's small but got sent a large. Altrec made the return very easy though. I would not hesitate to order from them agian. Hood stays up well. Seams are strong and waterproof. Love my jacket!

Great Jacket!!!

This jacket fits perfectly and is a beautiful blue color. It is casual but can be worn with skirts as well as pants. It is not heavy but is light enough and roomy enough to layer under. It is perfect for windy and rainy days and I like the hood which fits well. Although I am usually a size medium, I bought a large so that I could layer.

Great jacket

With the wonderful help from the phone rep, I chose this jacket to help survive the occasional monsoon-like downpours we have in New Hampshire. Sure enough, soon after I received the jacket I had the chance to test it's rainproof qualities. It passed with flying colors. I wore it while fixing something outside in a downpour and while the rest of me was soaked, everything under the jacket was completely dry. It has excellent ventilation and can easily accommodate a light sweater underneath. I bought it in a grass color and it is very attractive. It has great pockets and fits into an attached sac. Great for tucking into my golf bag. Excellent purchase.

Good

This jacket is lovely! It is good for a shell when you don't want any extra insulation. There is also some ventilation under the arms making it a nice running jacket. I love the long sleeves (which are never long enough). Exactly what I was looking for!

Great Jacket if the Price is Right!

I really like this jacket. However, I got mine on sale. Had I paid full price, I might have returned it. I would definitely recommend it, as the pros outweigh the cons, but make sure the price is right at the time of your purchase. Pros: Style - I like the hourglass fit. It's got a small flare at the hips which makes it a bit more stylish than other raincoats. Waterproof - Although I haven't worn it outdoors in the rain yet, it does appear to be pretty weather proof. Features - I love the armpit vents. A very nice feature for a rain jacket! Cons: Comfort - The lining seems a bit cheap. It's a white, almost plastic like lining. I'm afraid it's going to rip if a zipper catches it wrong. It also seems like it might be uncomfortable w/o a thin layer separating the jacket from your body. Features - For the life of me, I can't figure out the hood. It's HUGE! The pull tabs seem really flimsy, so I'm afraid I'm going to rip the jacket when I try to pull on them. Sizing - It's not really a con, but the jacket does run small. I would usually wear a women's large and was hesitant about getting the XL. Glad I did. It's cut small, so the XL fit fine. It does still fit snug though, so I'm curious if I can fit more than a fine layer beneath.

functional and attractive

This is a great waterproof/windproof jacket, and it's loaded with thoughtful little features to make it extra comfortable. It's designed for use in warmer weather, so venting is very important to keep you comfortable. In addition to 2 zippered venting pockets, it has a convenient chest pocket and pit zips, so you can easily control air circulation while keeping the rain off. I bought a size up with this jacket and it fits me perfectly, plus a bit of room to spare for extra layers (you'll want to add a cozy underlayer on cooler days). It has a very flattering feminine cut, too.
