A little disappointed
I purchased this as a fall rain jacket. The product is much lighter in weight than I expected. The jacket is a single lightweight layer that would only serve to repel water. I would only recommend this jacket for warm weather. I wish that I had purchased one size larger as I will have to layer under the jacket for any kind of warmth. I would highly recommend as a spring jacket, this jacket is definitely not a piece for the season I intended (fall/cooler rainy weather).

Great thin rain jacket for spring/fall
I live in an area with all seasons so I needed a rain jacket without it being heavey-this is perfect. Awesome fit, actually flattering unlike most jackets. I got the dark raspberry and its beautiful! Hood folds into coat, and it's super light to throw around your waist or in a bag

The jacket is very nice and functional. The only thing I didn’t like was the Columbia logo was an iron on instead of it being embroidered.

Extremely Lightweight!
Despite other reviews stating it was too small, I found this jacket to be true to size! I’m 5ft 2 and wear a 36C and had no issues zipping it past my bust. If you’re looking for a THICK waterproof layer you won’t be happy with this item. This is very, VERY thin and lightweight but will be perfect for chilly early morning hikes.
Very happy with this purchase!

Lightweight & good pockets
This jacket is very light /thin. It’s perfect for heat of summer days with rain as it is not lined. I have Columbia rain jacket and it is lined which is too hot for July & August in TX. Also this jacket has zip pockets on the exterior and two inside non zip pockets. I recommend this jacket for those reasons.

Love the jacket color, style and over all look. Runs a little small for me, can't zip it. I ordered a large but feel like a extra large would have been to big.

Great lightweight jacket
this is the perfect light weight jacket. Fits great, easy to bring along as it's not bulky at all. Finding a lightweight jacket with a hood was the clincher. This will be my go to for sure!

Great for the price
I only paid $24 for this jacket. If I paid more I would return it,, but for under $25 bucks I'll keep it.. I love the brand & bought this for summer rainy days. It works for that but also sticks to your skin. Kinda like touching a tent!! But I will buy a thicker jacket next time.

Great jacket, just size up
I bought this jacket for myself, since it was such a great deal. I would say the sizing runs a bit small and would suggest sizing up one size. Because they are of such great quality, I ended up keeping the smaller jacket for my daughter and ordered a larger size for myself. Great quality and very functional.

Disappointed
I was really hoping that this jacket would work out for me because of all the amazing reviews but it just didn't. Like the previous reviewer mentioned, there is no lining on the inside so it feels like you are wearing a plastic bag. I prefer to have some sort of lining whether it's mesh or another light layer because it makes the wear more comfortable and breathable. Without the inside lining, the jacket sticks to your skin and it gets hot easily. You'll probably have to wear a long sleeve underneath for more comfort. I ordered the Cactus Pink in a size small and the color is very pretty and I would say it's true to size. I'm disappointed that this jacket didn't work out for me and I will be returning it.

Just waterproof plastic
There is no mesh inside, so it's like wearing a plastic bag. Not very comfortable to me, unless I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt underneath. Also, I ordered the red orchid color and was sent a deep medium pink color instead. Fit was fine, Columbia products generally fit me well. I liked that the hood could be tucked in when not in use, and it was indeed easy to pack into one of the hip pockets.
I ended up returning the jacket due to the inaccurate color and general lack of contentment over the feel. It wasn't very comfortable when I tried it on because of the material.

Color
The only problem with this product is the spring blue color in the picture does not match the actual product. The jacket is actually a bright light blue unlike the picture shows so just a heads up! Otherwise great jacket.

Great Waterproof Shell
I own every version of the Switchback jacket, and can't highly recommend them enough. I bought this in S and the fit is consistent with all the other Switchback jackets. It's slightly loose, so I can layer comfortably as needed. It's a light waterproof shell that can be worn as a light jacket in spring and summer on days where it may or may not rain. There's no lining, which impacts breathability but that's a common trait for pure rain shells. I've put all the other Switchbacks to the real rain test, so I'm confident this will hold up as well. I love that the hood folds neatly into the collar when not needed. The Miami color is lovely -- it's more of a proper teal than blue in person than in the picture.

Great Product
I bought Cactus Pink, although the receipt says Medium Red. It is Cactus Pink, a very nice, flattering color. I am 5’8” and 122 pounds p, small on top, and the medium is a good fit. The label says waterproof, and I have not yet worn it in the rain. For all ages.

Would be a nice light jacket for spring and rain. For women with bigger bust, you may want a size up. It was too tight on me in that area.

Great features, poor fit, loud crinkly fabric.
I bought this jacket in a size larger than normal. Is very fitted. Returned and ordered larger. Still very tight because it is fitted and sleeves way too long in larger size. Debated whether to keep but returned because fabric has a loud “crinkling” sound when I moved. Loud enough to draw other people’s attention and sleeves way too long at this point.

Cheaply made
I own several Columbia jackets and love them all. This was such a Disappointment! The peach cloud color is see through, there is no mesh lining as advertised, just a little in the pocket area. It is not packable, the pocket that is labeled to pack it in is too small for the folded jacket to stuff in.

Perfect for a Windy Day
I was looking for a jacket to keep in my backpack to use on hikes and dog walks on windy or rainy days. This is perfect. It's lightweight, condenses easily into the backpack easily and doesn't stay wrinkled. I still feel stylish yet protected by the thin nylon jacket. Glad I purchased it conveniently curbside with a great price from Kohls.

Nice lightweight jacket
This is a nice lightweight spring/summer jacket. Looks great from the front, but I gave it four stars because of the way the back is sewn. It has two darts which really don't work well with this type of material. There is some puckering at the end of each dart. I'm tall with long arms so I appreciate the ample sleeve length. I usually wear a 6 or 8 and the small size fits well if I don't wear anything bulky underneath.

Great for cool weather
Great jacket but does make your body heat up as you move. I actually became too hot and had to take it off as I was walking. Quality is very good and it is water resistant. I do wish it were a little more breathable to release body heat more efficiently.

I haven't worn it outside yet. (after 450 days of rain, bought the jacket hasn't rained once) I got the Raspberry color, beautiful color on the jacket. I love the fold up hood as it acts like a high collar when it's folded up.
