  • 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

  • A+ Ultra Packable Waterproof Windbreaker
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

  • Not waterproof
Color: Sun Glow Size: Large
Nice windbreaker but not waterproof. I wore it in heavy rain at a theme park and the arms were completely soaked through. My torso stayed basically dry, but the jacket probably shouldn't be described as waterproof. More like water resistant. It is very thin, unlined fabric. Doesn't offer any added warmth. Stuffs easily into its own built in stuff sack, which I appreciate. ... show more

  • Great color & fit, long sleeves
Color: Fuchsia Size: 2X
I needed a lightweight rain jacket for my early morning walks, and am always super cautious when ordering online since I'm plus size (usually wear anywhere from 18W to 22W, depending on cut). I was so thrilled to find a plus size jacket from Columbia - a brand I know to be quality. I did make sure to read other reviews, so I'll add this in case it helps: I measure 42E (47") chest, 42" waist & 49" hip. I'm 5'5", so this jacket hits me just below my hip (right where I wanted it to because it covers my butt). It's roomy enough on me overall that I can wear a sweatshirt for added warmth. As for the sleeves, they're a little long for me, but I only have to fold back the wrists once (and like the longer fit for when the wind blows cold). There is only one thing I don't enjoy - the fact that moisture builds up in them. Granted, I'm usually exercising (aka sweating) when I wear it, so it's not anything that would make me want to return the jacket, far from it! It's just something I'd want to know before making my purchase. (My easy fix? I wear a long sleeve coolmax t-shirt on the days it's too warm for a sweatshirt.) I'd still purchase this again, even knowing about the sleeves. (And will, in fact, once I drop enough weight to warrant the next size down!) ... show more

  • Lightweight and cute!
Color: Cactus Pink Size: Small
Have owned two of these (one pink and one black) and have not been disappointed! Good quality and lightweight! Great for keeping top half dry if in sudden downpour. Only downside is the hood sometimes flies off if it's a windy day!
