ColumbiaWomens Switchback Iv Jacket

I love it. It's light weight so I can wear it most of the year. I live in the southern region of the USA so the summer temperatures can be brutal. The coat is well made, stylish, and great price. It has 2 outside pockets and 2 inside that are roomy. I can fit my wallet, car keys, etc. , with room to spare. The last thing I want to do when a deluge of rain hits is carry a purse and I don't have to with the generous pocket space. I also don't need and umbrella as the hood on this coat thoroughly covers my head and keeps me dry.I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to wearing it for many years.

Bought this to replace an Eddie Bauer packable rain jacket that I had. It’s definitely comparable except the stitching doesn’t have any sealing over it. I like how the hood folds into the collar though. The sleeves are a little too long on me but the adjustable velcro straps on the sleeves help with that. I’m 5’4”, 145lbs, chest 41”, waist 35” for reference. Size chart is accurate and it’s still loose enough layering. I’ll have to update with how it handles out in the elements.

The media could not be loaded. I originally ordered a small and it was much too tight in the arms when wearing it over a hoodie or a jacket, I re-ordered a medium and it’s a much better fit. I like how small it gets! You can easily toss this into a gear bag and not be worried about when it rains. I did wear it out in the rain one day and it held up for a few hours, however if it’s a total downpour, I don’t think this would save you for long. That is the trade-off between a packable, rain jacket and a big bulky heavy duty rain jacket. For touring around Scotland and in and out of intermittent weather, I think this would be great! If you’re going somewhere where it’s going to be pouring rain every single day get a heavier, thicker jacket, but then you have to sacrifice weight and space. Overall, this one is fantastic and it’s on sale! The shape is flattering, it fits well, and I won’t be caught without a rain jacket since it is so easy to pack away in any bag

I really do like this jacket but the sizing was off for this color. Based on reviews I sized up one size from my normal to an XL but the XL was too tight overall & smooshed my chest w/just a top underneath. I returned it for an XXL & that one is significantly looser, like 2 sizes larger than the XL. However, there is a drawstring at the bottom to tighten the bottom of jacket so I did that & with a sweater underneath it is still roomy but not excessively. I love the color & overall style so I decided to keep it. I think the XL was missized because I also ordered an XL in the navy blue and that one fit perfectly! I like the fit, it has a feminine cut & look if you get the right size.

Beautiful color, windbreaker lightness to it which is great because I usually get too warm in rain jackets. Water resistant, perfect for those rainy days you’re running errands.

lightweight, comfy, and actually keeps me dry without making me sweat—huge win. packs small but does the job.

This jacket is a perfect fit. I am 4feet 10 inches tall and weigh 85 lbs. It is very challenging for me to find clothes that fit. I love the color and the Velcro around the wrists.

Size is not true to normal size charts. This jacket runs at least 2 sizes too small.
