Love this jacket!
I got the Dark Seas color and it’s gorgeous! I’m 5’5 150 pounds and the medium fits perfect. Took this jacket with me on a backpacking trip it kept me warm and protected from the rain but lightweight so not to add extra weight on my trip. Super cute and functional couldn’t ask for a better lightweight rain coat.

I love the length! - I am 5'8" and it covers my derriere
I purchased this jacket about 6 months ago and originally thought I would wear it for those cooler spring days and cool summer nights. I now realize that this jacket will be my "go to" for fall and winter months. All I will need is a long sleeve lightweight top underneath my jacket, and I will be good to go for winter. This jacket holds in all the heat you will need, if you are warm blooded like me. Also I love the collar - I like turtlenecks to keep me warm however, I don't need one now the way this one sits so high. I purchased the coral red color and am now looking for a black one. I am 175# - 5'8" and bought a size 2X.

Light Wind & Rain Jacket
Pro is Very light good for bring to trip it can be hold in handbag and can use when it needed. the jacket weight less then few 6OZ.
We are cruise people that would like to used as rain jacket at tropical area or wind broker in Alaska or northern Europe...
Cone is cut too big I'm 5'3 115lb ordered small size but still too much room, also should comes with pouch to hold the jacket to trips. I have other blend jacket that comes with pouch and it was very handy. quality of fabric wasn't great too. I returned.

Love it
I fell in love with the soft violet color at a local store, but their xl was tight. So I ordered the 2x here, and I’m glad I did. I have a 40d bust, so finding rain jackets without a stretch to them is always a challenge. I love Columbia, and love the color. It’s perfect in the humid Florida weather, and it’s super light weight without sweating profusely. I like the 2 inside mesh pockets. I’d of given it a 5 star, but Columbia made this cut on the slimmer side. So I went 2 sizes up, but I’d prefer it a little baggy than tight. Is it waterproof? Not really, but definitely water resistant. I’d consider buying another.

Great Features.
I recently purchased this jacket, it fits nicely. I am 5'3'' and 125 pounds, bought a small. The extra features are what sold me. The zippered pockets, velcro wrist closure on the sleeves and the hidden hood make this jacket a winner.

This raincoat magnificantly resisted the Niagara Falls' bottom Hornblower boat fall tour! I was completely dried after 15 minutes under the falls thunder! I most definitely recommend this jacket! (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Nice Jacket!
I just got this recently, so I would have something to wear if I'm running and it's a bit rainy. I haven't used it for that yet, but I really love the color and the fit. It's not too hot, and I can easily add a sweatshirt underneath if I need one.

Stylish and waterproof in one jacket
I bought this jacket at the last minute for a windjammer cruise in Maine in August. It did the job (we did get some rain) and was comfortable and stylish at the same time. Very happy with the purchase!

Glad I bought this and took it on my recent Alaska Cruise. Is lightweight & kept me dry in rainy weather. Be aware it’s not lined so doesn’t keep the cold away.

Perfect for travel
I bought this jacket for a trip to Ireland. It was a lifesaver! It prefect for in to my bag when I didn’ t need it and was a lifesaver when I did. I like the cut because it’s less boxy than many rain coats. Works well for a little extra warmth too. Best travel purchase ever!

Cheap feeling
I wanted a light spring/summer raincoat. Despite the great reviews for this one, I returned mine. It felt like a poncho - very paper thin. I ended up getting a North Face one instead.

Served Its Purpose
I needed a jacket for a summer trip to Switzerland during a heat wave there. The mountains were nonetheless still chilly and rain was also possible but I did not have room for a heavy jacket. This was perfect, very warm over a light layer underneath. This jacket is not breathable but that actually was a plus in this instance, quite wind and water proof and it didn’t take up much space in my carry-on. Was very glad I had it.

Really Came in Handy!
I bought this for on a week-long bicycle tour. My cycling rain jacket has no hood, so I wanted something that would pack small but keep me dry walking around in the campground. This jacket did just that.

Nice Looking Affordable Rain Jacket
This jacket was purchased for my daughter. It is light weight, has pockets and a hidden hood. There is room for her to wear a sweatshirt underneath if the temps are cooler and she wants to layer up. Exactly what she needed at an affordable price.

Perfect for my needs
Perfect lightweight jacket for warm morning walks in Texas when I might run into rain. I tie it around my waist however it packs perfectly into its own pocket too. Will be a great travel jacket. Bought the blue for morning walks and thinking of buying another color for regular everyday wear.

Runs small, extremely thin
I’m probably going to return this. I’m petite and bought a size small and I can only wear something extremely form-fitting underneath. It’s only slightly heavier than a hefty black trash bag. For the price, I’d rather buy a plastic rain poncho.

Arms not waterproof
Just wore this for the first time in a steady rain during my mile walk commute to the office my arms were soaked. So not sure how this is waterproof.
It is also not very breathable, reminds me of wearing a trash bag or poncho.
Very disappointed

Great lightweight rain jacket
I own two of these jackets, one in fuchsia and one in dark cyan. I live in the western NC and walk every day. Because we have a lot of rain in our area, I needed a lightweight rain jacket for my walks. The Switchback has proven to be the perfect jacket for my needs and has never failed to keep me dry, even in a heavy downpour. I am 5'6" and weigh 130 pounds. I purchased this jacket in the medium and the fit is perfect without being too constricting. I wear it even in the winter as an outer shell with one or two thermal tops underneath and have been comfortable in temperatures down into the lower 20's. This jacket is so versatile and I highly recommend it for those who want a lightweight rain jacket that performs well.

Thin material, no lining
The descriptions says "soft mesh lining" yet this is only in the pockets. I would be too cold in this jacket unless I had a sweater underneath. The material is not flocked and has a cold feel to it. Glad Columbia has a good return policy.

Lightweight-Great for Spring & Summer
I bought this several weeks ago and I love how lightweight, yet effective this rain jacket is! It is great for spring and summer when you want something not too heavy but don't want to be drenched. The zip-up pockets are a nice added bonus as well!
