This is a US brand - glad its available in UK
I was looking for a reliable raincoat. A real one, not one that soaks you after few drops.This is the one! Has been warn in extremely heavy rain and not a drop crept in.Nice to have pull cords to make hood fit securely. Also velcro sleeves make it a snug fit to keep the rain out.Love this! Go bigger if you intend to wear layers underneath.

Columbia Jacket
Just received today via addresspal to Ireland. Where to start - I ordered 3x based on 1st review on the page since lady there ordered 3x and she has the same height and weight. Well packed, light, fully mesh lined inside. The downside - I ordered this jacket based on my research and I was led to believe that the jacket has underarm vents. Imagine my disappointment that was not the case.The fit of the jacket - larger, loose, the length is great, just under my bottom so it covers my critical area - belly. However, I believe, I would be fine even with 2x as it is my size. I am UK 22-24. I still haven't decided if I'll return it and order a different style or not. Great material, the hood is great with an extra shield so it covers my cap. Perfect for Irish weather . I haven't tested the jacket in the rain so we'll see how it hold up. Update will follow along with pictures

Fab jacket
I'm a UK 24 and really enjoy walking, and getting out with my dogs. There aren't many brands that do a decent light weight, breathable, waterproof jacket that stretch beyond a UK18/20. This jacket ticks the boxes. I just wish more companies would do this and that Columbia's UK retailers would stock to this size. Fab jacket, ideal for what I was looking for. Good fit, comfortable on my arms (I think they're a size bigger than the rest of me) and a good size hood.
