        Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Access Shell Jacket - Women's:

        I got this jacket for a trip I'm taking to London where it often rains. I've now tested it in a heavy rain storm as well as biking to work. Jacket keeps me warm and dry. I did see the review with the zipper issue but have not had that trouble myself. Zipper needs to snap in place first and then it zips up fine for me. If I have a complaint, it's the lack of colors to choose from, but that's a minor issue and I'm really happy I purchased this jacket.

        NICE FIT, BAD ZIPPER

        By Kaff

        from Drexel Hill PA

        Verified Reviewer

        Pros

        • Good weight-not too bulky
        • Nice true fit

        Cons

        • Main zipper poor quality

        Best Uses

        • Fall wear alone
        • Winter wear with sweater

        Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Access Shell Jacket - Women's:

        I'm afraid that this jacket is going back. I like the fit, the feel, the features BUT the main (double) zipper is not good. I've worn the jacket about 5 times and have had trouble most times with the zipper not catching or not lining up with its mate. I can tell this is going to be big trouble down the line so I'm returning it.

        Good shell for the money

        By Sleepydee

        from New York

        Pros

        • Fair Wind Blocking
        • Light weigt

        Cons

        • Clunky Hood
        • Needs To Be More Packable

        Best Uses

        • Hiking
        • Skiing
        • Snowshoeing

        Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Access Shell Jacket - Women's:

        I bought this jacket as a packable shell to use on its own and with a down layer for colder treks. The sizing was great. I appreciate the overall length and the sleeve length, as I am tall. It's ok in moderate wind but you really need a better wind lock layer underneath for truly blustery conditions. The hood I find cumbersome, especially when it is rolled away. And I do wish it would pack down a bit smaller . Otherwise, I am very happy with the shell and it works well with the other Access pieces that I own.

        Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Access Shell Jacket - Women's:

        I love this jacket for use all year round. Only disappointment is that I like a jacket that is long enough to cover hips (3/4 length). This jacket does cover, but I would like it to be about 3 inches longer. Really well made and durable.

              Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Access Shell Jacket - Women's:

              I needed a shell with a lightweight fleecy lining, and that's what this jacket does. Great for the chilly spring rain season. Great at night when a lightweight jacket is called for.

                      The XL size purchased was too small in the chest and arm length - fits more like a large. Was purchased for a trip and ended up doing without.

                            I do love this jacket. I bought it for an upcoming trip to Alaska. It is comfortable, very warm and keeps the wind out just like it says. I was hoping it would pack into a pocket or bag but it is heavier than I expected. I did find a way to pack it into its hood. I bought a thinner rain jacket to take but like this so much I decided to keep it too for the glacier days and to use at home. I love the pockets to store items like gloves and keys too. Thanks EMS!
