Brighten your day Raincoat
I got the NorthFace Grace raincoat in Fiesta Red. I like to have a bright raincoat so that I am more visible and this choice fits the bill. I would describe the color more as sunset coral than a red color though. This raincoat can be worn for a walk in the woods but because of the length and cut also looks a little dressier for meeting friends for a meal. The fit is perfect for me. I have long arms and someone with short or average length arms might find the sleeves too long. The length is great and the cut is flattering. No chance that your neck or wrists or butt or thighs will end up wet even if the wind is blowing the rain around as it might well be in Alaska. The hood is overly large but there are little toggle things so you can snug it in. It looks a little goofy tightened around your face but keeps the rain off! The pockets are generous and secure. I wasn't sure I liked the belt - might prefer one with snaps of the style on the upper pockets - but the multiple belt loops keep it in place and cinching in the back adds to the attractive line of the coat. The flare at the hemline means that there is no restriction if you are striding right along. I find that a raincoat that covers the full upper leg is so much more useful and warmer than a rain "jacket". And it rolls up easily for tucking in my bag when I travel. I give this raincoat high marks and keep it at the front of my closet.

Perfect for a drizzly winter day walking the dog or having lunch
I love my Grace jacket - The fit is good and it is very stylish so I can look good walking the dogs, going to the park with my kids, or going out to lunch with friends

good experience
They had the jacket, size, and color I wanted for a good price and it came in a timely manner. Love the jacket... arms run a little long. I would normally buy a small and ended up with an extra small after trying it on in some stores. Would definitely buy from altrec again.

Great travel jacket!
This jacket will be versatile for travel. Stylish for the city and dry in the cloud forest. Plus it rolls up into a small bundle and is lightweight.
