Order larger size than what you wear

Size Name: XX-LargeColour Name: BlackVerified Purchase

I had this jacket and the zipper broke so I ordered another one. Apparently my old jacket is a mens size. I ordered a women's 3x and it was too tight. I gave it to my daughter who wears a size 10 and she is getting a lot of wear out of it. I ordered another on in the men's sizes (which happen to be cheaper) and it fits like my old one did. This jacket is the perfect rain jacket for me and easy to pack for travel.

Columbia continues to deliver trust worth jackets

Finally, a jacket that fits like expected and has the features needed in a serious rain jacket. I am skinny woman but not petite in my 5'7" frame. This jacket has the right length arm sleeves with adjustable velcro at the wrists. And the hood is large enough to not get my hair wet. I tried several other jackets before this one and the arms and hoods were sized for petite women. I can't attest to the breath ability or waterproof as I've not used it in the rain but it has the material that I expect will work as described by Columbia. It does not have air holes under the arm pit area. I love the medium teal color I ordered.

so good. I've needed a rain jacket for a long ...

Haven't yet worn this out, but so far, so good. I've needed a rain jacket for a long time. Based on the reviews I ordered a medium, which is what I normally wear in tops, and it fits well. It is fairly loose with plenty of room to wear a jacket underneath if necessary, but not so big that I feel I am swimming in it. The waist curves in a tad for a slightly more feminine look. If you do want a more figure skimming look, you might want to size down. However, I have bigger hips and I think a small would have been too tight around the bottom for me, so if you have the same body type (small waist/big hips), keep that in mind.

Nice features and good value

I bought this jacket to replace an old North Face rain jacket with a worn lining and less coverage. Tried out the jacket in a hard rain two days after I got it. Performed well. Kept me dry--I like the velcro wrist tabs which help keep water out. It was also warm enough for the spring Chicago bluster.
I wondered whether the jacket would be nipped in at the waist--picture seemed to show it would be, but at least one reviewer said the jacket was "too boxy" for her taste. It is slightly tapered--that is OK with me although I prefer a straight silhouette.
I just packed the jacket for a trip. I was able to fit it into the pocket labelled "packable", but took it out and repacked it flat as it seemed to take up less room in my carry-on.
Would have liked to have an inside pocket--my old jacket had one.

Lightweight and easy to pack

Reviewed in the United States on 4 December 2019

Size Name: LargeColour Name: blackVerified Purchase

I bought this before a recent trip to Ireland, mainly because I needed something fast and easy to pack. It is a basic black windbreaker/rain jacket. It's not especially stylish, but I was not expecting much from it, style-wise. Its major selling point for me was the fact that the entire jacket can be folded/zipped into one of its pockets. This made it very easy to travel with, and I did wear it several times during the trip. The hood gave me some issues in the wind, but there are adjustable cords that allow you to tighten/loosen it, which helped. I wish it was a bit longer, because I found that many of my shirts/sweaters hung lower than the bottom of the jacket and got wet while walking in the rain. But, all in all, it served its purpose!

Fit is narrow

I like the jacket a a lot. I usually wear a medium or small, but the medium of this jacket was decidedly snug at the hip with a sweatshirt underneath. So I bought a Large. As a result, it is roomy, a bit on the long side, coming to about upper thigh length. Sleeves are at least 5 inches too long, but no problem to fold them over. I may even get them shortened by a tailor. The hood is generous and there is a bit of overhang to keep rain off your face. Pocket interior is a mesh fabric, which is ok, but it could get caught on something like keys.
Overall, I am very happy with the jacket.

I like this rain jacket

Reviewed in the United States on 25 April 2016

Size Name: LargeColour Name: blackVerified Purchase

Overall, I like this rain jacket. I got mine in black, and the color is just as expected. The waterproof quality is also a nice step up from my old, water "resistant" rain coat, so I love that this one keeps me much drier.
There is velcro you can snap closed over the zipper to keep water from leaking in that way - or, if it's just a light rain, I just don't even fool with the zipper and just velcro it when I'm in a rush. I love this feature. There's also velcro around the wrist to be adjusted to keep water out of your sleeves.
The one con is the size. It fits me great everywhere but right at the bottom. When using the zipper, it's a little snug in my hip area. It wasn't bad enough that I needed to return it, but if you have wide hips, it may be too snug for you. Just be aware of this. Everywhere else, though, the fit is fine.
Overall, for the price and quality I do like the jacket, so I'm pleased with the purchase.

I want my old jacket back

Reviewed in the United States on 26 March 2018

Size Name: X-LargeColour Name: columbia navyVerified Purchase

My old Gore-Tex jacket finally went kaput much to my dismay. I usually wear a large shirt, but I got the extra large jacket and I'm glad I did. It fits without any pulling when I sit down in the car when it's fully zipped. There is alot of extra room if I need to wear a fleece jacket underneath. It's not as warm as my old jacket though and I don't like the crinkly plastic sound.

Water flew off as I ran the jacket under the faucet

Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2022

Size Name: MediumColour Name: blackVerified Purchase

Great! Keeps rain out, but has no ventilation or armpit zippers and xan overheat. Inside is mesh. I ran the jacket through my faucet and heavy rain. An essential for a rainy city. Looks great! Despite the logo being pressed on rather than sewn, the jacket is authentic.

Nice, lightweight jacket

Reviewed in the United States on 30 October 2017

Size Name: X-SmallColour Name: blackVerified Purchase

I bought this over a year ago to replace my old lightweight jacket (wearing college apparel after graduating is kind of sad) and it does the trick. My biggest complaint is that this material is very noisy and makes crinkly noises when I move, but on the plus side it has a hood.

As for stats, I'm 5'3" and around 110lbs with a slim build and the XS fits just fine. That said, I don't layer (get too hot too easily with layers) so you may want to size up if you plan to wear this over something bulkier than a t-shirt.
