![]() Why We Like It: The ultra-lightweight fabric is the hero of this jacket. Sizes: XS-3X | Colors: 39 | Materials: Nylon, spandex While there is a decent size range up to 3X, the largest sizes sell out quickly and are often only available in a handful of the colors. She says she could have gone with her normal size but it would have fit like a second skin. Many of the reviews on Amazon mentioned this jacket fitting small, which caused our tester to size up. Our tester got great use out of this and even mentioned that she purchased a second one on her own after the test was finalized because she was so impressed by the fit and huge color selection-a repurchase is the best review of all. We like it for running in moderate temperatures with no rain or snow, but it also makes a nice coverup jacket for walking to the gym or a yoga class. The fabric is insanely stretchy, so it moves with you. This is definitely a contoured-fitting jacket but it sits nicely on the body and doesn't ride up or cling as your run. It has the front seaming that hugs your curves, two side pockets, and a mock neck collar. We won’t call it a dupe, because fabric and quality is different, but your eyes don’t deceive you if you think this jacket is a lookalike for another popular, and far pricier, style. It's Worth Noting: The jacket runs small and the larger sizes often sell out. Why We Like It: The fabric, details, and features are great quality for the price. Sizes: 0-20 | Colors: 3 | Materials: Nylon, polyester, elastane When fully zipped the top edge of the hood/zipper is stiff and can rub as you run-our tester added a bit of velcro to pin down that flap, but it’s good to know that some adjustment may be necessary in that area. There is less stretch around the hips of this coat, if you proportionally are larger in that area, you may need to size up. Pay close attention to the reviews as the size chart leaves a lot to be desired. You are protected from the elements, without needing to grip the less soft technical fabric-genius. ![]() One of our favorite features is the thumbholes-they aren’t ordinary thumbholes, these were thoughtfully designed in a softer knit fabric, with a waterproof shell that goes over the top. It also features a hood, wind-and waterproof material, and a soft brushed fleece lining. It has four zippered pockets-two at the sides, one on the chest, and one in the back-to fit keys, energy gels, lip balm, or your gloves after you warm up. The Lululemon Cross Chill Jacket had all of the features we were looking for, which helped it claim the best overall slot. It's Worth Noting: The collar and zip are stiff when zipped fully. Why We Like It: The fabric and fit span lots of weather conditions.
