Reviews
Very good....!
"I am satisfied with the design, material, color, and price."
Hi fits well is nice
"Hi fits well is nice and light and folds up small. Easy to travel with"
Exceeded my expectations
"Beautiful colour, I would say slightly loose fit but perfect for layering. It has a toggle at the bottom so can customise the style. It has served me very well in South Island for my holiday, can't wait to take it with me to more beautiful places!"
Women’s Heli insulated Jacket
"Love this beautiful coat! So soft & not bulky. Just the right fit too. Very fast shipping. Love Kathmandu 👍🩷"
What's not to like
"Great service. Beautiful colour - I like the contrast colour inside. Cosy warm. Complementary comments from friends when I have worn it. I am usually a 10-12 so I bought a 12. It's roomy enough to comfortably put a jumper underneath but doesn't look big when I'm not wearing one."
Great jacket
"I love this jacket! It's so light and warm and I love the colour!"
Finally bought one
"No regrets. Jacket is thin but warm and cozy. Resisted for years because every second Melbourne person has one but got one on sale and love it. Perfect colour."
High collar
"I love the jacket but am not liking the collar as it digs into my neck and I’m unable to fold it down."
