A few design and manufacturing flaws
"It runs large so size down. But, I did, so that was no problem. This jacket maybe keeps light rain from soaking through for about 30 mins max. So, the ""waxed"" element seems non-existent. I definitely wish it was properly waxed because that would be a great design element! I asked Everlane about the ties in back. Parkas that you can tie around your legs have ties in the front and the back, and this jacket only has ties in the back. . . so they're ""fashion"" ties, which are also a huge miss on design because they hit the ground and soak up water if you crouch down (or I assume if you're shorter than me). The buttons (snaps) don't stay snapped, it takes very minimum force for them to come undone. The double zipper (two way) design is always a flaw in my opinion, so I don't know why they used it on this. It's sometimes hard to zip up due to it. I guess it's so you can unzip up to get to your pockets. I bought it to keep my pants pockets dry during light rain. I tried it out today and it failed to do this! My pockets were wet after a 45 min walk. I'd return if I could. I may just donate it. It wasn't even worth it at the sale price. I should've just bought something I knew would work!"
