I got the coat that had color which meant it was only $15. Best price out there. It breathes really well since it is basically two pieces. I would buy again in a heartbeat. That being said, I did expect to have to make a few changes at this price point. The hood would not stay up since there was no draw string so I sewed in a few velcro pieces to hold it in place. Also, as other reviews have mentioned, this is only a 3/4 zip because they have a front pocket built in. While I love the idea of the pocket, the moment I put my phone in there, it hung so low it was no longer protected by the jacket. So I just fixed this by cutting the pocket an inch or so shorter and sewing it back up. This gives me exactly what I wanted at a very low cost!
This is a great lightweight running jacket with great ventilation. The armpits are very open while still covered for light rain. Do make note that it is water repellent, not water proof. If you are out in an actual rain, you are going to get wet. It works well on a cool day with a light rain. It's very comfortable and very light weight. Its very pack-able and easy to travel with and or have in the car. It's my go to when it's a little chilly out and I don't want to deal with the brisk wind or slight rain slowing me down. I did also find this on an incredible sale -- paying only ~$11 (so really an incredible steal).
These jackets by Mission are my favorite jackets for those 'in between' days where it isn't cold and it isn't hot. Even windy days - the make for a comfortable cover. I take them to the beach, traveling on a plane, and working outside. I have three of them and love, love, love these jackets.
Perfect for any kind of weather, the lightweight Barometer Jacket is my favorite pullover year-round. The material is waterproof and works great as a windbreaker as well. I’m a huge fan of the ¾ zipper and pullover fit, as the cut of the jacket allows a good amount of airflow in the back. I took the company’s advice and decided to size up (from a Small to a Medium) and the looser fit is perfect without feeling like the jacket is too big. Overall this is the perfect grab-and-go jacket for in between weather.
Love this! It is great quality material with a lot of pockets. I typically wear a Medium, and i probably could have gotten a small. Runs a little big, but I don't mind!

Love this light jacket! It has reflective strips on it for those early or late night runs. Has a nice big pocket in front and the zipper comes down to the midline in front which makes it easy to get off after a sweaty run!
Really nice rain jacket, my Mother loves it.

This jacket is perfect for those in between seasons when you might get a little chilly or maybe overheat when running. The material keeps you cool when you need it and wicks away moisture when its too hot. Many vents make it a good option for cooling off during exercise. I found it wonderful to pack when heading to hot yoga in the cold weather. You end up so overheated but when you walk outside, you immediately freeze. This jacket keeps you out of the wind while removing moisture.
There are reflective patches on the back and arms which are great for evening running. The thumb holes make every girl giddy. I have yet to explain it to myself or others, but they truly make me smile.
I took off a star because in the photo it appears that the zipper goes all the way down to fully open. However, this is strictly a pullover with the zipper coming down 2/3 of the front. Slanted pockets are tiny, too. (although I prefer the slanted zipper for styling and use). I received the Large, but I'd say it wouldn't work for anyone above a size 8.
We just received the Mission Athletecare Women's Vaporactive All Season Cooling Barometer Running Jacket size small from Amazon and my wife immediately tried it on. My wife is 5’ 4” tall and weighs 110 pounds; she normally wears small and petite clothing.
This jacket fit snugly over her shirt and jeans and looked good on her. The length of the jacket is long and nicely covered her hips, but she complained that the jacket did fit tightly in the hips. She concluded that she needed size medium for a more comfortable fit and reminded me to suggest to women thinking of buying this jacket that they move up one size if they don’t want the jacket to fit tightly on them.
My wife liked everything else about this jacket. It has a durable water repellent finish and reflective detailing with ¾ zip pullover with hood and zippered pockets. The ad on Amazon says that it has a loose fit design but my wife disagrees and thinks snug fit would more accurately describe this jacket.
This is an expensive jacket and should fit perfectly for the money being spent. Good advice seems to be to order up a size if a comfortable and loose fit is desired.
