Very pleased.
Very pleased with this lightweight rain jacket for cycling. It fits well. The color looks great. It has some nice features, such as Velcro cuffs, the hood fits over my helmet, the hood visor keeps rain out of my face. When not in use it zips into a built in pocket, which makes it easy to take along fit unpredictable weather. I’ve worn it twice in moderate rain and stayed completely dry.

Bikewa or Baleaf? Extremely similar except armpit vents!
So I ordered both Bikewa and Baleaf, in 2 sizes. I was actually more interested in the Baleaf because I liked the more periwinkle shade displayed in the ad, however they are exactly the same purple as each other and not periwinkle. The inside fabric and outside are identical, the sewing patterns are identical, the purple colors are identical. Here are the differences- the Bikewa has armpit vents and black zippers and a smaller reflective name on the back than the Baleaf which has no armpit vents, purple zippers, and a larger reflective name on the back. Otherwise, they are identical! The quality seems great imo but I have not worn it outside yet. They seem to trap heat. As far as fit- I ordered a XXL in Bikewa and a L in Baleaf… I will return both for an XL. I am 5’4” tall, 177 lbs. I loved the back length on the XXL that covered to the bottom of my rear, L went to the middle of my rear. L was nice looking fit up top with my 38” bust (36 B/C) but a little tight on my hips (42” hips). XXL was a little too baggy everywhere so thinking the XL will put me in the sweet spot for my shape. The arms are very long on both sizes, going past my finger tips, but both have “hook n loop” wrists to fix that. The hat is my only complaint on both- it is extremely deep and goes over my face even if I adjust the front opening tighter. It would benefit from a way to adjust the depth. I suspect if you wear a ball cap, bike helmet, or put your hair in a big bun or something to add depth, it might help. It is not a breathable fabric (not many waterproof options are- sounds swooshy and feels rubbery/plastic like and has a faint smell at least when new. I will be buying an XL to keep. Both brands seem great, just note the differences if they will matter to you.

Perfect color, length and material
I'm 5'2 134lbs. Super cute jacket. Material is light weight. Color is cute. The arms are a little long, but it has velcro to tighten as needed. The back scoops down into a tail for a flattering fit. I love it.

Great except the hood
Purchased for a trip where I needed to pack light and compact, but where I expected drizzle/rain in cooler temperatures.I wore this jacket daily for 2+ weeks. Love the color (nice and bright)! Love the size and locations of pockets, and love that they're well zippered. Fit as expected. Kept me nice and dry and also added a layer of warmth (but not so much that I got sweaty).The only part I didn't like was the hood. When I needed it up, it was always in my eyes. I tried lots of ways to tuck it in the back, I used the elastic cinch thingies at the neck. My best solution was to turn the small bill up away from my face. It stayed as long as the wind wasn't strong, and allowed me to see, but that solution negated the rain protection for my face. Another solution I thought of (didn't actually try, though) would be to wear a ball cap or similar under the hood.

Good rain jacket
Bought this jacket while my time in Oregon. It fit comfortably, and really came in handy since it rained a lot. I like the back pocket, but I don’t see what the purpose of it is. All in all, I’d recommend it, it kept me dry the entire time while wearing it.

Love this jacket for too many reasons
Fit is perfect! Enough room to wear layers if needed, adjustable Velcro wrist bands to make more airtight, can also make the lipped hood tighter. I like the zippered side pockets, large zippered back pocket and the jacket zipper works well, too. 2 inside pockets are a bonus! Usually women’s jackets lack pockets, not this one. I love that I can just roll up the hood and tuck it under with Velcro. And best of all, this jacket folds into itself and zips into its own compact storage pocket making it easy to pack. Oh, and the bright lime color is cool. It’ll be easily visible on cloudy days. Great buy for the money!

Ill-fitting hood. Strange texture lining.
I’m 5’2”, 155lbs. Got a L in blue. Fits perfectly. Not a five star review because of the hood. It needs an elastic adjuster at the back. It’s very large and slouchy. When pulled up, even when cinched snug around the face , it hangs into your eyes and blocks your vision. One would need to wear a ball cap underneath it. The inside of the coat is rubber-like. It gets hot and sticky. Not a breathable jacket. There is a back vent, but not vented armpits. A nice feature is a tacky band around the inside of the bottom hem which helps the coat to fit nicely. It also has very roomy pockets both inside and out. This jacket is not suitable for hiking or backpacking, but probably fine for wearing when going out shopping, if you have an umbrella for your head.

Cool yellow color
Great jacket for rainy workouts, very lightweight and comfortable. Lots of pockets are very convenient. Durable, after three years the color is still the same.
