  • 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.

  • Exactly what I wanted
Color: Malbec Size: Large
Bought two for a fall trip to the Oregon coast for my daughter and me. They kept us both dry through a LOT of rain. Fit id flattering and I bought our normal sizes. we were able to wear sweaters underneath still. I was worried the jacket would be short but it was a nice length. We got the wine color and the lighter blue. The wine color was nice, the blue was stunning. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • 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

  • Windbreaker
Color: Miami Size: 2X
I love this pretty jacket and the color. I spilt coffee on it the first day I wore it and freaked out! But the coffee just just slid on off! I thought it was a bit expensive for a rain jacket but itโ€™s well made and Columbia never disappoints! Great coat to keep in the trunk in case of emergencies.

  • 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 fit! Love the color.
Color: Night Wave Size: Large
I am female, 6' tall (158 lbs) with very long limbs. Ordered a size large in the striking Night Wave color -- love this color. Fit is spot on--will be able to wear a thick sweater underneath. Body length is good; not too long or too short. Sleeve length is perfect for me but imagine sleeves would be long for someone of average height and arm length. Very happy with this purchase. ... show more
