"good features like double closure systems on the front, extended length in back, and adjustable sleeve openings."
"I bought this as a part of a birthday gift for my boyfriend."
"Jacket fits nicely and light enough for spring, summer and fall."

"Great rain jacket."
"Haven't really tested it in hard rain yet, but fits good, made out of quality materials, very comfortable to wear it as well."
"It seems it will be pretty waterproof, but before I could even test it, I had barely put it on, zipped it up, put the hood on, and as I tightened the hood the string came off- with barely even any pressure."
Men. Multicolors,you can choose which you like. Vent zipper under each arm.Make the jacket more venting and breathable.

"Well, at least the upper half ;) need to wear some rain pants if you want to stay completely dry but as for the jacket, 2 thumbs up."

"Passed the shower test and kept me dry!"
"Great jacket which is extremely lightweight and can roll up in my backpack."
"This rain jacket fits my husband well."
"Exactly what I expected."
"This was a gift for my son who is very athletic - bicycling and running - and this is perfect for that."
"For biking specifically, it's really great - it has a slim fit so that it isn't blowing in the wind, it has nice long sleeves (I have long arms and so my wrists end up cold if I'm riding a bike), and the hood tucks nicely behind your head so that it doesn't catch the wind. The jacket is long enough that it isn't riding up your back when you're on a bike - though it doesn't have the extra long back like you find with bike-secific jackets (which I don't like)."
"I really wanted to like this jacket, with all the features of more expensive ones, but rain soaks through the outside of the jacket and the pockets slowly fill with water."

Find Best Price at Amazon"However, there has been a noticeable difference in quality depending on the color and the year! Measurements of current jacket, Size Large: Center back length, 28 inches. Width around bottom hem: 53 inches. Sleeve (from shoulder seam) 26 inches."
"I ordered 2 , one made in China and the other in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh looked better made and more warm and fluffy. Order one size SMALLER - these are not true to size. I am 5'11 , 184 lbs , always wear medium , ordered a small based on the reviews , and the small fits perfect .... trust me on this one. The one in the picture is the one made in Bangladesh not china."
"The gray and 1 of my blacks are wearing out but I think I could still get a few more months out of them. This time around they didn't have the color I wanted (they typically always have black and gray) so I decided to order it now since I didn't want to bite the bullet and wait until it got colder."
"I have purchased many of these Columbia jackets in the past and this one is OK but the black is not a true dark black as in the past."
"Pros. Can be worn in a variety of weather; Helps keep in body heat when it's cold and snowy or just on a brisk day for extra warmth. Long A-line cut is flattering. Washes well; Does not shrink or become itchy. Soft; Fleece is comfortable and not itchy. Cons. None, yet!"
"2 large interior pockets great for cell phones or other large items."
"By the time I got home, package had arrived, and wife or kid opened it and placed the jacket on the table. It was the annual meet the executive day for all the team leads. And nope, didn't get any promotion that day :( Note that the real fleece jacket from Columbia never shed even a single piece of ball of fuzz. All that is needed is a very light jacket to keep the chill out long enough for you to generate heat as you go hiking. Is great for work or indoor as well where some places they turn the A/C on high."
"Terrible quality."

"I like Columbia outer-wear, and bought this jacket to wear outside while it's raining or snowing (paired with a fleece/sweater underneath when temps are cooler). Afterwards I found the jacket's interior material was wet (like a sweating type of wet), enough to moisten the fleece I wore underneath."
"My husband absolutely loved this!"
"I also like that the hood folds up and stows away in the neck... without being bulky and annoying. You have plenty of room to put gloves, a hat, and other items in there along with your hands."
"This jacket isn't meant to keep you super warm, but it does that well enough for me."
"Hubby's Boss was retiring, so bought the jacket in his size and embroidered his PDQ catamaran on the back and Captain Dave over the chest."
"Excellent rain jacket for the price... Nice pull cinches on bottom to keep the cold air out."
"Ok we bought these to give us a new light weight raincoat while traveling in S. AU and NZ for 6 weeks, our old raincoats were about 15 years old and starting to show ware."

"This is a fabulous jacket."
"My son loves this coat."
"That helps when you layer a waterproof shell on over this jacket, but I still wish the sleeves were about an inch longer."
"I love this jacket super light super warm but not too warm very comfortable good for layering would definitely buy this again actually I would love a navy blue one in my size seems to be unavailable."
"It says "made in China" and not sure if quality assurance is related to that or not but the jacket I got is probably the piece of clothing with the worst finishing I've seen in my life."
"Looks nice but the Chinese sizing drives me nuts. If it was even American 2xl it would Have Fit breathtakingly as if it were a large to xtra large. Too bad cause it looks nice and I have two of these and they do a great job."
"Looks and fits really good."
