ALO Women's Technical Jacket

I am a 12/14, ordered an XL which is supposed to fit 16/18. When I zipped it up, it was skin tight. Good quality fabric, cut, etc, but runs way too small.

This is a very nice, good quality jacket. The outside feels little stiff or rubbery and it does run small so I recommend going one size up. But it has a very nice cut and I like the steel gray color.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Size fits as expected
Sleeve length substantial (I'm 5'11")
Odd tapering (hips flare out too much)
Tapering is too high up for me
Stiff collar

COLOR: I got the gray, but it is more blue than gray. Certainly more blue than in the picture.

MATERIALS: I haven't gotten to use it enough to comment on durability. Zipper doesn't seem to be cheap, though. The outer fabric, itself, is nice, but it is more slick than most soft shells. Nice mico-fleece lining.

BOTTOM LINE:
This jacket was a great buy for the $30 Deal of the Day price. Not worth retail.
