ColumbiaWomen's Arcadia II Jacket

The jacket arrived in great condition and the size I had ordered (XL). While it is very lightweight, it is of good quality. I wore it recently during a moderately heavy rainstorm and 40 degree temperatures and am very pleased with how well it protected me not only from the rain (my clothes and I stayed totally dry), but also how well it protected from the wind. Also, with the jacket being an XL, I'm able to wear layers underneath, which kept me warm in the cool temperatures during the rainstorm, without the jacket feeling tight and constricting. The non-detachable hood comes down quite a ways over the forehead, so protects hair and glasses from getting wet, and has a drawstring to tighten the hood for further protection-- as does the bottom hem of the jacket. In addition, the jacket, itself, zips up all the way to the bottom of your chin, preventing rain and wind from coming in by your neck. There are also velcro strips that close over the zipper for added protection. The other plus with this jacket is that it's packable. The left front pocket is designed to be large enough to stuff the jacket into if you're traveling, and has a double zipper (ie, on both outside and inside of the pocket) so that once stuffed into the pocket, it can be zipped up to contain the rest of the jacket inside the pocket. And, while this is a little bulky, it's flat enough to easily fit into luggage or even a backpack without taking up a whole lot of room. I definitely recommend this rain jacket.

Fits great! I originally ordered and XL but felt that the style was too fitted across the chest. This feels more comfortable when I need to layer. The material is light but waterproof and the color is perfect.

Great lightweight rain jacket with hood. The lining is mesh so it's not going to provide much warmth. No bag for storing. Fit was good based on Amazon size recommendation(XL) however I'm broad shouldered and want it to fit loose. Sleeves a little long but velcro makes it easy to adjust. 195lbs, 5'1" 42D

It fits well. I like the fact that the sleeves can be adjusted so I can shorten them since they were too long for me. I actually tried it at a store that carries exactly the same brand, color and style. I decided to get it at Amazon because of the good discount. The only problem I found is that it didn’t bring instructions of how to turn it into a small bag to easily carry it around. I saw the video but it doesn’t show the details. Are we supposed to guess?Nice color and material seems to be good for rainy season.

Was looking for a rain jacket that wasn’t heavy with pockets and a hood. This fits all the criteria. Fits well and is a quality jacket. Not very thick but still keeps you comfortable and protects in the rain. I got the XL since I wanted it to be a little baggy. Not sure how it holds up in Florida torrential downpours yet, but it worked well for some light rainy weather on a trip to Boston.

Very pretty color, smooth, and funtionable raincoat. The sleeves adjust well. A little hard to zip and unzip due to the velcro always in t he way...but definitely not a deal breaker.

Love the comfortable style, fit and the fact that this jacket is completely waterproof!!! I am 5’-3”, 130 lbs and a medium was perfect. Got lots of compliments too.

Love the color and fit around body. Hood is on smaller end and doesn’t provide as much coverage as I’d hoped.
