SmartWool Long Campbell Creek Hooded Jacket (For Women)

I really enjoy Smartwool. This jacket reaffirms why I like Smartwool. The cut of the jacket is perfect for wearing to the office. The hood is just roomy enough to pull up up over a bun when dashing from the car to the front door. Only the sleeves are lined, which is different, but not an issue. The length of the sleeves is just right, a little long. The fit seems to be true to size.

I have been looking for a wool jacket (yes this is a jacket not a coat) for sometime now when I stumbled across this one. I find if I have my wool sweaters on underneath, which I usually do I'm pretty warm. I would not choose this in 10 degree weather but it is great as a transitioning jacket from fall to mid Winter or late Winter to Spring which is when I'm writing this review. I really like the length and the overall look of this jacket. The only reason its getting 4.5 stars is because I too have a little trouble with the zipper. I've played with it a little and it just seems like the bottom zipper is much more finicky the the top. If Smartwool could make the zipper more fluid it would be 5+. I own many Smartwool products including socks, scarves, hats and sweaters and have been please with all of them. This Jacket is a keeper!

This coat runs true to size. I'm a 10-12 and almost always get an XL in SmartWool because they tend to run small. I got a large in this coat and it fits perfectly.

I really like the cut of the coat and the style. I've had a few coats of this style and think this is one of the most flattering and best fitting that I have had. The zipper on mine was a little sticky at first and I was worried I would need to exchange it, however, it has started working better after a couple of wearings. The coat is not super warm and couldn't be used as a winter coat without some serious layering.

I was super excited to get this coat, based on the great quality and warmth of other Smartwool products I own. I bought a size up as I normally do with Smartwool, but I think this coat is more true to size than other products. I probably should have gone with the medium (5'9"/155 lbs) but the large may work out with a winter sweater underneath. The design is beautiful, with a nice herringbone print, an assymetric zip closure, a great hood for the biting Colorado winds, and the arms and length of the coat fit just right, even for a slightly taller frame. I was a bit disappointed that the coat is not fully lined. I wore it on a cool 40-something degree day, and I was surprised that it wasn't as warm as one might expect. I would definitely not wear this coat on the coldest winter days. Maybe I'm being extra picky, but the zipper gave me some trouble and is not as smooth as I would expect for such an expensive coat. Despite these downfalls, I'm still glad I made the purchase. The coat, like I said, is beautiful and stylish, and I look forward to wearing it in the fall.
