Columbia Men's Watertight II Rain Jacket

I got this jacket for myself and I absolutely love it! Of course it is a little long as I order a male jacket and I am a female, but it is just as I expected and works perfect to keep my back dry! I am a 5'5" and 140 pound female, and the small jacket fits perfectly! I got this jacket for my trip to Italy, and it was definitely worth the money! It did rain quite a bit while on the trip, so I am really glad that I brought it. It starting pouring down rain, my jacket was completely soaked and so were my shoes (no way to help that), but everything under the jacket was perfectly dry! The rain just rolls off the material. The jacket even dried very quickly so I was able to pack it up. Like others have said, it can be easily packed into a pouch, which is one of the pockets of the jacket. When packing it up, it comes out wrinkly but they quickly disappear after wearing the jacket for a short while. I really like how the two hand pockets zip close and how there is Velcro that goes over the front zipper to keep you dry. The inside of the jacket is a mesh material, which some many be weary about but I did not find myself uncomfortable at all. Another reason I went with this jacket is that there is the ability to tighten the bottom of the jacket to fit tighter. The jacket also kept me slightly warm, and I was even able to wear a sweatshirt underneath with plenty of room. It is the perfect rain/cool weather jacket. Obviously it is not meant to keep you warm in very cold weather, but on a cool summer night, this jacket would work great. I have never really had a good rain jacket before so it is difficult to compare it to much. However, I would definitely purchase this again and I would highly recommend this jacket to anyone!!

This truly is a pocketable coat you can pull inside out one of the pockets and crush into a ball and zip it right up into a 4 x 4 pack. It is more than water resistant, it is waterproof, and with the hood up and draw string you really do not need an umbrella. I also trot along with a 13 inch backpack underneath to keep things from getting wet on occasion. The sleeves terminate in cuff with Velcro straps that can hold them out of the way, or be used to sinch the cuffs to a custom fit. I bought this just before heading out on a trip to Seattle, a really rainy city.. and kept my Mobile phone just under the velcro cuff on one side running Google Maps to help me get around. It has a liner, and it does a good job of breathing without being damp or clingy the material is like a netting (black) feels almost like a cotton net but not at sticky or natty.. its "neat". Drys quickly. And I wore it on a Trip to Mt Locke in West Texas at the McDonald Observatory.. it gets very cold out in the Desert at night, but this was plenty warm. There is just enough "airspace" captured inside when you want it to claim some heat and hold on to it to keep you warm. It's not a parka, but its really versatile and has become one of my go to jackets for bad weather. Its not what you wear on a calm sunny day, but first sign or wind, overcast, cooling temps.. I grab this and toss it in my other jacket pocket just in case. Better than an Umbrella!

This jacket is very good quality and it is comfortably and breathable. It is much more light weight than my other jacket, so it is perfect for the summer thunderstorms I have been through lately. The sleeves and the torso of the jacket fit a little more casually (meaning it feels a bit large, as opposed to slim), but that hasn't been an issue for me, and it allows you to include more layers if the weather is a little colder. The hood fits well but looks a little weird, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Overall, this is an excellent buy for anyone except the most extreme outdoors people - it will keep you nice and dry unless you are basically sailing on the open seas or in the rain forest. It's definitely waterPROOF, not water-resistant.

I like the fit. I'm pretty slim/athletic build. Columbia brand tends to fit me very baggy. It was a nice surprise that the medium fit pretty well especially around the waist. I love the Amber color. Although, I can't confirm/deny the claims that there are fakes out there, I feel confident that my jacket is authentic. Let me explain. The "missing" embroidered logo... It does not make sense to embroider a logo on waterproof material. You'd have thousands of holes to let water in. The omni-tech logo on the sleve/wrist... It matches the same logo on the official Columbia website. My guess is that Columbia made these changes as improvements to the waterproof claims of the garment. So, If you get a jacket with an embroidered logo, I'd send that back as the NON-EMBROIDERED is the newer version... version 2.0 if you will. The bad: I dislike the velcro patches to cover the zipper. Pretty annoying when throwing it on/ taking off. COLUMBIA, just give us version 3.0 with a waterproof zipper and get rid of the velcro! I don't know how long this will remain waterproof on a hike in the rain. The good: the color, packable, semi lightweight (Medium size 377.5 grams), kinda stylish. A good budget backpackers rain shell.

Me gustó! Compré otros dos colores en rojo y azul en este mismo modelo pero son myuy diferentes.

This is a very light jacket, should be used for spring/summer/fall. I am 5'10 150lbs, a small is just about right for me. It is long and thin. I find the sleeves to be just about right, a little on the long side. Same thing with the length of the jacket, slightly longer. However the fit is very tight. I find it does not correlate with the length, and I am on the thinner side. Anyway, I was between a S or a M and the medium would have been too big. Small is fine for me. The Navy is also a nice color. It is slightly more light colored and glossy in person than the picture. Overall, this is what I was looking for in a reliable rain jacket. Have not tested in rain, but I would recommend this jacket if you are looking for reliable quality.

Very nice form-fitting, wind-breaking rain jacket that I used for a 2wk trek in Central Asia. It kept me plenty dry and warm on 50deg days. I especially like the inside liner that separates the skin from the shell to provide comfort. And the long length that covers the rear was a thoughtful feature that kept more of the body dry on rainy days. Not much improvement needs to be made with this gear, but if asked, I would redesign the bottom a little wider so that when I sit down with the jacket zipped up (I have a rather lean frame), it won't try to split open. I saw the stress that puts on the zipper so I'm careful to unzip every time I sit down. If a wider bottom allows unwanted air inside, the designer can add an elastic/adjustable liner that traps the air, a feature found on short ski jackets. With some care, I think the jacket will continue to serve as my go-to gear for a walk in the city or a an extended adventure.

awesome jacket. i’m 5’8”, 130 lbs, 34 chest and 30inch waist. the fit on this “small size” jacket is great. i picked this up to replace a old orange columbia pfg storm jacket. the arms are slightly bigger than the pfg which is great b/c the pfg was tighter around the arms, specially with layering. the pfg and this jacket i use mainly as a wading jacket, worn ontop of my waders for surf fishing. its so far held up great against the sand and salt and rain while fishing! it replaces an old pfg that has been tried and true for the past 4-5 years in rain and salt, but just recently been leaking this past season. for the 4-5 years i had that pfg, i didnt even know about the “packable” pocket lol! much like the pfg, all i really need is just a sweater or hoodie base layer and i can surprisingly surf fish during our 40 degree CA coastal winter climates comfortably. it dries quick and easy to pack; just dont leave it in anhot car cuz i feel that is how my pfg sprang leaks (along w it being old). anyways, this jacket is holding up great and will definitely see lotta hard use in the surf for the seasons to come highly recommend for anyone wanting a simple rain jacket or wader jacket.

Perfect Fit and Finish

Compared to other products in the market, including the more expensive ones, I think this rain jacket from Columbia is decent and does the job very well. Happy with my purchase

Very good rain jacket. I saw some comments said it’s fake but I believe it’s genuine.

Look nice, addorable and highly reccomended.
