The Arcadian Packable Sunblock Jacket is praised for its lightweight, breathable fabric and stylish appearance. Customers appreciate its packability, moisture-wicking properties, and UPF 50+ sun protection. However, there are mixed opinions on the fit and sizing.

"Love the lightweight total covering of the jacket. I love the hood as well!! And the fact that it is a foldable jacket easy to pack is also a plus"
"The zipper broke on the 5th time I wore the jacket. I liked it otherwise. It's a shame I wasted hard earned money on it."
"Title: Dual zipper design is terrible The dual zipper function on this jacket is terrible. It is unnecessarily difficult to line up both zippers correctly just to zip the jacket. It constantly gets stuck and makes something as simple as putting on a jacket frustrating. I do not understand the purpose of this design. A standard single zipper would have been much easier and more functional. I like the jacket itself, but the dual zipper design ruins it for me."
"I have bought many clothing from coolibar. This jacket is one of my favorites, light. Looking great, just love it. Have 2 of those. One green large n one blue X large , sizing is not really accurate . Sometime large works good, some feel small and need to buy X large"
"This is a lovely jacket. I really enjoy the style. I do find that it is extremely warm to wear and hot weather."
"I love this jacket. My daughter has one and I have been wanting to get one after using hers a couple of times. It’s light and comfortable."
"I bought the Medium white a few years ago and it is perfect. So I bought the black Medium mid-2026 and it is way too small. I had to pay for shipping to me and for return shipping. Then had to pay for shipping again to get the black in size Large which fits exactly like my Medium white. What’s going on Cooilbar?"
"I purchased this jacket for a stay at the beach. It was invaluable for keeping the broiling sun from scorching me. But at the same time, I was comfortable with a jacket made of such light fabric. Perfect for throwing on to beat the sun and leaving on all day to keep the AC chill at bay. Great product!"
"Nice, runs small. I always get medium, but this one is too small. I will return it. Unfortunately you don't allow exchanges, so I need to return and purchase again. But it is not on sale now, so I can not buy now. You should allow exchanges for size."
"I have three of these! I wear this all the time for sun protection regardless of the temperature with a tank or short sleeve spf 50 underneath. The zippered pockets are wonderful. It’s lightweight enough to go in a tote in case you get cold in air conditioning. I wish i could get the tan one ( my size is out). And I wish the white one was all white not trimmed in black. The only other issue is that it comes folded into a small bag and the creases and wrinkles locked in. You have to really work with an iron to remove them. After that washing and hanging dry works fine. Just don’t expect to pack it without it wrinkling."
