    • A+ Ultra Packable Waterproof Windbreaker
Review Image by Abby

For sizing, I'm a 36" bust, 29.5" waist. I bought the small in green in August 2020. I wanted a packable shell for my go-bag. Fit is perfect around my waist. A tiny bit baggy around the bust, but still really flattering. I feel like sleeves are a tad long, but Velcroed tight, it looks fine. In November 2020, I bought a medium in moon gray to use on my daily power walks. Color is on the lavender side of gray. It's fit is just a little bigger than the small, with enough space for a thick fleece jacket layer underneath. Reviews are what helped me make the purchase, so I'd like to share my experience as I think it would be helpful. I've seen reviews of people who were wet after using the jacket in the rain, so I'm including my experience with that also. While wearing the jacket, the packable hood is super easy to unfurl, and just as easy to roll back into the collar. Our Northern New England winter has already begun, so I've been able to test using this as a windbreaker shell. I've been able to go out in windy 14 degrees with a thin base layer and a thick fleece hoodie underneath this jacket, and been warm enough. I actually get a little overheated half way through the walk, but unzipping the pockets (which are its "vents") and the main zipper does help cool me down. One warning! Because it traps body heat so well, it also traps moisture! I have one picture of the inside of the back of jacket after a walk. Needless to say this is not a breathable Gore-tex jacket, so it's to be expected. When I tried the first jacket on in the summer, it did start to get sticky wearing it on my bare skin, so if you live in a warmer climate, this feature might get annoying. As for waterproofness, I've been out in the pouring rain a few times and come home dry -except if I've been sweating. The rain water just beads up on the jacket. Being that it wicks my sweat on the interior, I decided to performed a test in the shower to be sure about its waterproofness. After about 5 minutes of showering my arm, you can see that indeed the inside of my sleeve is bone dry. This jacket is very packable. You'll find in one of the hand pockets, there's a double zipper. Turn that pocket inside out, and feed the jacket body into the pocket/sack. Zips shut. You can search the web to find a video showing it, but it's very easy and quick to do. The packed-down size is 5"h x 9"w, and as flat as an inch thick. ... show more

    • I am pleased
Fits well, looks lovely, light weight and just what I need when walking along a breezy beach in lower 60 degree temperatures! Last year I nearly froze along the shore line due to the cutting winds at the beach. This year, I was kept warm and dry on those breezy and misty days. Plenty of secure pockets and well made. I am pleased! ... show more

Review Image by Anna Dass
I absolutely love the color it’s vibrant and easily visible . It blocks wind well and I personally layer with a hoodie underneath if I’m cold . When it comes to rain I haven’t had a hard enough rain to really test it out but with a light drizzle it worked well . Sleeve length is a bit long but I did go a size up as recommended and everything else fits well. ... show more

I am 5'7"... 38DDD and usually wear a 14/16 or 0x/1x. I purchased this jacket in a 3x because I wanted to CERTAIN I could wear with sweaters and I wanted it to be longer... It is huge. I will wear it and enjoy it... but I could have done the 1 or 2x I think. I've included some pics to help. I chose the black. It is VERY light - not lined. The pockets are side slash, with zipper closures - the lining of the pockets is a mesh material. The hood is hidden in a velcro'd collar flap - the hood itself has elastic pull cords. There is a Columbia logo on the left upper chest. The sleeves are very long - and have velcro's strips to adjust fit around your wrist. Because I purchased the really huge size, the jacket falls well below my back end. All of that is ok with me! The washing instructions say cold water, powdered detergent, , wash separately - Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low. Do NOT use fabric softener and Do NOT dry clean. Lists 100% nylon - except mesh... 100% polyester. I haven't worn it in a rain storm yet, but it looks like it will work well for Spring in Oregon. Having said all of that, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful and I hope this review was helpful to you. ... show more
