Great lightweight jacket for Curvy Gals!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024

Size: 2XColor: GeyserVerified Purchase

I needed a packable raincoat for camping as I’ve been caught in a couple of downpours while setting up and breaking down camp. We were heading into a weekend and the forecast called for heavy rain, so I knew ordering from Amazon may be slim pickings but was impressed to find this at such a great price! I think I got it on sale for around $34. It’s incredibly lightweight however, the morning I wore it, I had a short sleeve shirt on and then a sweatshirt on and felt pretty warm! Main thing is it kept me dry although we didn’t have any downpours as the forecast had called for, so I cannot attest to that at this moment. Just some light drizzle. I really like the zip pockets and that the front zipper comes all the way up to keep your face kind of covered, allowed you to adjust the hood if needed. I’m usually a 2x in tops and sometimes I size up to 3x in jackets for layering room, but this worked perfectly. I was able to zip it just fine with thicker clothes on and move around breaking down our tents and camp without being restricted. Love the bright color-it’s not too bright to be obnoxious neon lol! But just a pretty blue. There’s also Velcro at the cuffs but not quite sure how you’d really adjust those to make it tighter around your wrist without it being uncomfortable? Either way, this did the job I needed it for. I was able to fold it up and it would definitely fit In a backpack for hikes. If you’re plus size and on the fence go for it. I’m also 5’7 around 240 if that helps. I’m a big review reader so I like to be specific to help others make decisions. :)

Size up one size for layering or buy two - one for cold and one for warmer weather!

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I ordered this in 3X because that was the only size available at the time that I first ordered. I received it today.
First off the color (lily red) is beautiful. I am not a fan of the Velcro "fasteners" on the front - might as well call them lint collectors and they tend to snag things. The fabric seems very soft and the jacket appears to be well made. There is a tag with a price of $100 on it. I purchased this jacket in red in size 2X and 3X for under $35 - what a deal! The hood is as someone else commented fairly small (it doesn't extend out very far), but I guess I'll just have to test it out. At least I'll be able to see when I am wearing it! There is a cinch elastic at the bottom, but it's just on one side and when I cinched the jacket, it just looked awkward. Size-wise, I wear a 2X in jackets and I actually have a 2X on the way so I will be able to compare. The jacket is very generously sized in the arms and shoulders - the hips not so much. It seems to be a fairly straight cut jacket.
I will update this once I have the 2X to compare. As far as being versatile, this jacket might just fit the bill. It could be also used as a parka over a fleece jacket for colder weather.
Update: I now have the 2X and the 3X. There is a significant difference in the sizing and quite honestly that’s a good thing. I’ve decided to keep both because the jackets will serve different purposes. The 3X is fairly long (27.75 inches in front measuring from collarbone - the 2X is one inch shorter) and there’s plenty of room for me to wear layers underneath. I just returned from a breezy walk on the beach in high 30’s/low 40’s temperatures and it was absolutely perfect paired with wind pants and fleece underneath. It definitely kept out the cold wind! You could probably use this as a ski parka with the right layers underneath. The size 3X jacket weighs 447 grams - just under a pound. It doesn’t appear to be “self-packable”, but fits nicely in a plastic one gallon Ziplock bag.
The 2X will be better as a rain jacket and for warmer weather. It’s shorter in length and looks more tailored because it is more form-fitting. It’s a tad snug in the hips and I consider this a minor design flaw because otherwise the jacket is true to size in all respects. There are mesh-lined zippered pockets (6 in zipper) on each side of the jacket. I realized that they were mesh when the sand from the shells that I’d collected fell from the pocket. I’m not as excited about mesh pockets. I worry that they could get torn or catch on things over time - same with the mesh lining of the jacket.
So far, the jacket has offered excellent wind protection. I’ll have to see how it does in rainy weather. Don’t expect this jacket to have a stylish, fashionable fit and you should be happy overall with your purchase.

Kudos to Columbia for successfully producing a water proof raincoat. I tested this under a full stream of water in the sink before keeping it. That being said, it’s not very breathable. I live in Florida and the monsoons come in the summer. It can be a bit uncomfortable in the heat, but that’s the price to pay if you truly want to stay dry. And you will. It’s also a nice looking jacket and high quality. Definitely order a size up.

I purchased this for my mom. The color is exactly as pictured. It is light, comfortable, and waterproof. It is the perfect mix of feminine and sporty. Zipper is smooth, it a relaxed fit, and I'm told by her washed easily. The size if you want fitted is true to size but for most jacket purchases I size up and so does she. She wears a medium - large usually. I purchased xl and it was a perfect relaxed fit. She can wear a sweatshirt underneath and still have room. In warmer weather it does not look too big just to wear with a T shirt.

Great jacket

I bought this jacket to go to Canada. I loved that it flods into the pocket for easy access. And it poured rain and I stayed dry. The water beaded off the Hoodia has a rim that helped with the rain not hitting my glasses. I'd shake my head and body and it just beaded off. And the wind doesn't go through it. I'm going to buy one for my spouse because we're going to Alaska.

The Product is great. But, if you’re ordering from Canada, the return postage is nearly equal to the cost of the jacket. Beware.
