Rated 3 out of 5Â by RunnerEsq Looks nice, but still a basic windbreaker...
It looks nice and has the BAA/Boston Marathon logo embroidered on it, but still a basic windbreaker that lacks in features you might find on a jacket that's half or 2/3 the price. I read the reviews and had low expectations for value, so this is OK. The shell is 100% polyester with no spandex for stretch and the inside is mesh. Nothing on the hand tags about water repellancy, so I'm guessing there is none. No inner pockets -- a feature I like-- although the outer hand pockets do have zippers. I'm only running Boston once, so it's fine and I recommend it if you are buying it for the logo and know it's overpriced for what it is.
As for size, I'm petite (5'3" and 114lbs) and don't have long arms and the arms on the S were fine, as was the fit overall.

I was hesitant to order the womens jacket as I have seen online the mens is a better fit. I am here to say, I disagree.....I ordered a medium and am 5' 8", 118 lbs, and it is a perfect fit! Now on to Boston!!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by nana the soccer player Satisfied
I just bought this jacket and am satisfied with the purchase, but slightly disappointed in a few things. The jacket is of great quality and looks very nice. However, it would be significantly better with a drawstring around the bottom. It feels as though there should be one, and the drawstring would make it much more comfortable, not only to run in, but to wear in general. Also, the sleeves seem to be just a bit too short. I ordered a small, which is my normal size, and the medium would certainly be too big, as is. If there was a drawstring around the bottom, though, I would exchange my small for the medium in order to have the sleeves a touch longer. This is my first year running Boston, so I will keep the jacket either way. For the price, I expected to love it.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mellifluous Great Jacket
I am glad that I read the other reviews prior to purchasing this jacket.
I am 5' 71/2", short torso, long limbs 122 lbs and normally wear a small but ordered up a size to the medium. The sleeve length is perfect and the shoulders just fit. The small would definitely not have worked. The bottom of the jacket is boxy but the yellow side panels visually bring it in. The jacket is bright and bold and will get you noticed.
Overall I am happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ladyvol So excited!!!
My jacket has arrived in time for the Boston Marathon!!! I initially ordereda small..which I normally wear..and was disappointed that it was too small...even the upper arms wear too tight. I quickly ordered a medium and returned the small. My charge card was credited within a week of the return. The medium fits perfectly and the quality is great. I had to call customer service with a problem that I was having ordering the medium and they were awesome...answered the phone right away and very helpful, courteous and patient. Thumbs up to Adidas. I am now Boston bound in 3 days!!!

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Court F Sleeves too short
I'm 5'5" and got a medium because I've heard Adidas runs small. The jacket itself is too wide, but the sleeves are too short. I basically need a small for the body of the jacket, but probably a large or extra large for the sleeve length. And no, I don't have long arms, I'm very average. This is just a very poor design. I'm so disappointed because getting the Boston jacket was something I was so proud of; it's sad that I probably won't wear much.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by KC runner Great jacket!
I am a fairly small chica, 5'3 and have a petite frame. The small fits me perfectly! I was surprised at how heavy the jacket actually is, I thought it would be more of just a wind breaker but it actually has a little substance to it. LOVE the colors and I'm super excited to wear it after the race! This is a MUST have for all Boston Marathon runners!

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Juels10 Had to get one
It was my first Boston, and after reading the reviews, I had decided not to pre order this $100 jacket because I didn't think I'd ever wear it...honestly. But...when I got to Boston, everybody was either wearing theirs or wearing one from previous years. Again I considered purchasing one, but didn't think it would be worth it. After the bombing, I had to order one as evidence that I had been there. Besides, I will want to wear it next time I go, to honor and remember the victims of that tragic day.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ridgerunner Awesome jacket!
I will be running Boston for my first time this year and had to get the Official Adidas jacket! I usually wear size medium, however I found the arm length was too short so I had to exchange it for a large. I recommend ordering one size up to get the correct arm length. Besides the arm length, the jacket fits perfectly and is great quality. I love the colors (especially the bright blue) and the design!

The body fits well, the body is a good length, and the arms are good length. It's tight through the shoulders however.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by roseville1 In Honor/Memory of April 15, 2013
Unfortunately I've never actually run in the Boston Marathon, but I wanted to do something to honor those that did run this year and also all those that were injured and killed by the terrorists. I'm so glad I was able to buy this jacket before they were all sold out. It's a good quality lightweight jacket, it fits me perfectly, and the colors are awesome. I will wear it proudly in honor and memory of all those affected during the week of 4/15/13! Thanks, Adidas!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by runboco love the retro styling
I read the reviews about the arms being short, but ordered my usual size anyway (S), because I didn't think I would wear a baggy jacket. The sleeves were the tiniest bit short, but overall the fit is great.
It is lined, not a basic windbreaker. The details are flattering and the fit is perfect. Now, just need to finish the race so I can wear it! The colors are true to the image on the website - bright blue and yellow.
I'm 5'7", 125 lbs.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by RunnerCat Will need to be tailored....
If you are tall and/or long waisted this jacket will fit like a bag. My decision every year is whether to get the small size and have a jacket that somewhat fits around the torso and is too short, or to get a medium and have a jacket that is long enough but has about 6 extra inches of material around the torso. Very frustrating! On the other hand - absolutely love the colors and the embroidery is beautiful!

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Julia Its an OK jacket..
running Boston for the 1st time, so of course I had to get it! Quality is a on a poor side, short sleeves, wide bottom, zipper - cheap. I am 5'10", 140 lb, usually buy Medium size items. This one I had to get Large (thanks to previous reviews), shoulders are tight and sleeves are short. will have to insert a string or an elastic at the bottom - can fit 2 of me there!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Janrun Love the jacket
I never buy it until after the race because I'm afraid something will happen. This year, when something did, I wanted one more than ever, and was afraid I wouldn't be able to find one. As always, It's super comfortable, fits perfectly, and is great both for running on cool days (and ties easily around my waist when it gets warmer), and for just hanging out.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Karebear Jacket size
I purchased a size medium after reading all the reviews and it fits perfectly! I would normally be a small but so many reviews said that their clothing runs small so I opted for the next size up. It would be great if there was a draw string around the waist of the jacket but other than that its a good light jacket.

Rated 4 out of 5 Good quality
Compared to the 2011 shoddy product - printed on decals and with zippers that didn't work, this is very decent quality. I didn't purchase last year's so can't compare. But they are back to the embroidered insignia and the zippers seem sturdier. Would still much prefer the ones made by Image Impact prior to 2010. Now there was a jacket!!!

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Kate262 Awful sizing, nice jacket
I am 5'7", 125 lbs and usually wear a small, but ordered a medium after reading reviews. As the reviews warned, the sleeves were short and the waist was HUGE. I decided to return it for a medium. I'd rather have short sleeves than be swimming in this thing. It seems to be made of quality fabric-better than the other windbreakers I have.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by BostonBelle Excellent Jacket, But Women's Version Runs Small
Excellent jacket, but the women's version seems to run small, at least on me! Ended up having to get the men's version instead - which it is why I rated it as average. Had the women's fit, better, it would have received a higher overall rating from me, my only issue was with the sizing. I absolutely love this year's colors!

I have the 2010 one from my first Boston. This was my 3rd Boston and this jacket not only is it a great fit but it has such a profound meaning. Its not only representative of the accomplishment but to of the bravery expressed that unforgettable day and a way to honor the victims and lives lost. Thank you Adidas.

Love the color, the back flap and even though I was stopped within the final mile, I wear the 26.2 on the back collar proudly!! I am 5'2" and the length of the sleeves and jacket are perfect. I am so thrilled with the tapered fit and the lightness of the jacket and wear it BOSTON STRONG!!

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CathCamp Great Jacket
I love this jacket. It is a great wind breaker and extra layer for warmth. I am 5'3" and 120 pounds, I bought the medium so I could move comfortably in it while running or over something when doing errands. The size small also fit, but was a little snug in the shoulders for running.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kayteke Perfect
Love everything about this jacket. I have long arms and the medium fit perfect, not a usual occurrence for me:). I have a short torso and the length is perfect for me too. It's roomy thru the body, so if you are looking for fitted this one isn't it.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by hba I wear it with pride
I wasn't sure I wanted to buy this because I thought I would be self-conscious about wearing it. Once I got home from Boston I found myself still wanting it, so I went ahead and bought it. It is a very comfortable, well-fitting jacket and I am proud to wear it.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by bayarea Worth the money
This jacket fits me perfectly, however, I can see how with some people the sleeves would be too short. I am 5'3 and 112 # so this jacket fits very well. The only reason I would not give it 5 stars is that on the front zipper the threads were loose in one area

Rated 3 out of 5Â by boston runner Fit could be improved
I am 6'0" and 145 pounds. I purchased a large to get the extra length, however, the sleeves are still short, shoulders are tight, but the jacket is very wide around waist. I would like to try the fit of a Men's medium.
