  • Columbia Always Rules in Style
This jacket is a must in any wardrobe! I needed a packable waterproof jacket and hoped it would be stylish enough to not feel frumpy and bulky. This jacket is slightly tailored and complements the user. I love that it is so lightweight and well made. A versatile must have for Florida weather!

  • Great for what I need it for
Color: Fuchsia Size: Large
I love the contoured fit and packability. You do, however, sweat in it. It's not breathable at all, so I recommend wearing something under it. But it's great to repel rain! Good quality as well.

  • Thin but packable
Color: Stone Green Size: Small
I love the color and the fit. I like that there's a drawstring at the bottom that makes it more form fitting than the boxy look. It's lightweight and can easily be packed. the material is thinner than I expected but overall still good jacket

  • More Roomy Than I Was Looking For
Color: Red Lily Size: X-Large
I have a large Columbia jacket in this style, have had it for years and love it. Unfortunately with weight gain it's a tad snug on my 5'5" 170 lb, busty frame. I can wear it with a light layer but if I want to add multiple layers it's not going to happen. So I ordered the XL to allow for additional layering and wow, this one is a tent in comparison. Even with with extra layers it is way too big on me. Disappointed, had to return. Loved the color. ... show more

  • Perfect rain jacket!
Color: Black Size: Medium
Works and fits like you’d expect! The only reason I docked a star is because the inside of the jacket and hood isn’t black.

  • Good enough
Color: Red Lily Size: X-Small
Serves its purpose but too pricey for quality

  • Light and warm
Color: Black Size: Medium
Bought this for the wife to wear on vacation. It was light and still warm enough for our needs.

  • Biggest size
Color: Wild Geranium Size: 3X
With hips like mine, you have to order 3x (the biggest size). It fits, but is snug. No room at the hips for anything thick underneath. Zippers work great. Side pockets are zipped too. Hood is easy to unvelcro and includes a cord to snug it around the face. Definitely wind and waterproof.
