Perfect weight for spring time snowboarding and mountain biking. Can pedal trails with it and not over heat like past windbreakers I’ve bought. Can layer a hoodie underneath to stay warm if needed while snowboarding. Packs into itself small.
I use mine as an outer shell and layer.
Perfect size.
Proper fit.
Outstanding quality.
Considering buying another in a different color to switch things up.
Makes me look better than I actually am. 😆
Fits perfectly, looks stylish and very functional! This is the perfect windbreaker for the outdoors! I love it and all the features!
I love the Whistler Windbreaker because it is so lightweight and easy to pack for any adventure. It's become an essential item in my multi pitch climbing bag and I'm ordering another one so I don't have to take it out when I want to use it for other adventures.
Bought two jackets. One for me one for my wife. The jackt for my wife if of very poor quality. There are a lot of loose threads at the botttom seam (picture).
I did two tests with the jacket so far. I took a 10 minute walk during rain. I was soaked. I knew before that the water resistance is not very good. But it´s almost not there.
The second test was spring weather. It was 12°C and sunny. Nice warm - almost without jacket weather. But there was a chilly wind in the open. The jacket did not stop that wind at all. I was cold after 5 minutes. I blew almost right through. It´s a WINDBREAKER - what the heck???
After getting the hoodies, I saw the ad for the windbreaker. I had to get one. Well worth the wait from the kickstarter. Comfortable!
Runs small. I figured if I got double XL, it would be a little baggy and this is actually a little tight and I’m not extremely huge.
This jacket could be great. But it is made without a single thought of a woman’s body. The top is very large and baggy and the bottom goes skin tight. No thought of hips. If you have any curve it will not fit by not zipping at the bottom and being extremely baggy at the top.
This jacket was purchased for a backpacking trip and was super lightweight and easy to pack. It is not waterproof. I must have missed that when ordering. It does a decent job but you will be soaked if stuck in heavy rain and hail like we were.
Awesome, compact, nice quality!
Love it for hikes but is also a great outer layer for traveling, as all the pockets come in handy at the airport.
Nice
They made the exchange very easy as I originally got a large but exchanged it for a medium. I'm 6ft tall 145lbs and the medium fits great, very comfortable. I like to wear it in the cool of the morning, etc as a light long sleeve option.
I cannot believe what a difference this lightweight, easy to pack jacket makes! I wore it on a recently incredibly windy day up here in Central NH. The wind chill was 15-20 degrees lower than the ambient temp. I put this jacket on and was immediately warm enough!! The back is slightly longer than the front which is great for keeping the warmth in. The sleeves are long enough for me which is a real treat!! Do not hesitate to purchase this is you are on the fence. I am looking forward to wearing to Alaska in May!
Iam 5’5 150 lbs. purchased the medium. Tad big. But not worried as I will be able to layer underneath it. Breathable and lightweight. Love how it can pack away in its pocket.
I’m 5’10 155 and have a L & XL in blue and red. I like both a lot, and a M would fit too I imagine but I prefer a baggier fit. Comparable to Patagonia Houdini. It packs down small so there’s no reason not to bring it. The chest zipper pocket is a nice bonus feature
Great jacket, nice color and breathy material. I've had it for several years and just got another one in a bigger size. The only thing I'd suggest is to maybe make it a little bigger/wider in the shoulders' area. My size is Medium but even after getting XL it's still a little funny in the shoulders but ok I guess so I'm keeping it.
Super packable layer. Been using it for mtb and it's exactly what I wanted. Local too
I love how small this folds into!
Thank you so much. I love this jacket and unfortunately it was lost while walking the Camino trail in Portugal. I contacted Coalatree to order a new one, because it is a main item in my bag daily, and they heard the story and gave me a great discount. Awesome customer service. I own many of their products and I will always remember this kind act and will continue to recommend this company and their product.
This windbreaker is light weight and durable. I’m going to have to buy another one because my wife loves mine.
Just as described
This jacket is amazing. I bought one for my fiancé for our trip to Alaska and loved it so much I purchased one for myself!
I was looking for a nice lightweight jacket to throw in my bag for evening walks or concerts in the park if it starts to get chilly. Love the color of the jacket and it's made really well. The problem is that I'm short and chubby and wear an XXL. With unisex sizing the sleeves are usually too long and it's too tight around the bottom which is the issue I'm having with this jacket. I have quite a few of your products and love them all so I'll just lose some weight or pass the jacket to my daughter - who will be thrilled!!!
It's a great jacket overall, it's good for light rain but will soak through during a heavier rain. I like that you can adjust the hood from the back. My only complaint is that I sized up to fit my hips but now it's huge on my arms.
Fantastic jacket! I work in the landscaping field and this thing is great from rainy days to full sunshine… simply the best!!
I wear this jacket for bike rides against the wind and UV ray. Also for post gym in the summer to capture the heat inside
