Sized incorrectly

I am normally a 2XL so I ordered a sale item in a 2XL size. I like the fabric and weight, but this isn't anywhere close to being a 2XL. Additionally, the zipper is on the opposite side from typical US zippers. I've seen zippers like this on cheap Chinese items (although the origination tag indicates this is from Vietnam). As a Sale item there is no return for credit, only exchanges with a restocking fee, and 2XL is the largest size they carry, so I am out of luck on that score. My wife (5' 3") also ordered one of the jackets in a medium and it was also too small. Fortunately my 2XL is a roomy fit for her so the orders weren't a total loss. When we contacted customer service, they were civil, but not anxious to help out. A dialog box on sizing IS on the website (not conspicuous) but it only suggests contacting them regarding sizing. Contrast that with most online retailers who provide measurements for different sizes and descriptions regarding trim or relaxed fits. Overall, since the items can't be returned, we are just out the price of one of them. Ordered one for 40% of the price on Amazon as a replacement and am satisfied with it.

Seadon

Hi James, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the sizing didn’t meet expectations. While fit can vary between brands, we do provide a clearly labeled size chart next to the size selection and a detailed return policy tab just below the add-to-cart button to help guide purchasing decisions—especially for sale items.

We’d also like to address a few points raised in your review. All of our jackets are equipped with YKK zippers—widely regarded as the highest standard in the industry. The zipper orientation you mentioned follows international outdoor industry norms and is common among many premium brands. Additionally, your jacket was made in Vietnam in a WRAP-certified factory that ensures ethical working conditions.

As for the comparison to jackets found on Amazon, we want to respectfully point out that Seadon jackets are in a different category. This jacket, for example, is crafted from a technical fabric made using discarded fishing nets, features a unique underarm air vent system for breathability, and packs down to under 100 grams (in a medium)—making it one of the lightest in its class. These details may not always be immediately apparent without a side-by-side comparison, but they reflect the thoughtfulness and purpose behind each product we create.

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify, and we’ll continue working to ensure our customers feel supported and informed throughout their experience.

Warm regards,
The Seadon Team

Sizing too small

Quality of the products remains good, however sizing is poor. Too small, despite writing before purchase to confirm. Returns too costly.

Fantastic travel jacket

Very lightweight, easy to pack and perfect for anything the weather can throw at you although you will need to layer up if its cold although the jacket is wind proof.
