All-in-all a good rain jacket to use for years to come

Bought this rain jacket for my teenage son. Part of me wanted the rain jacket I bought for him to have more substance to it, but that's not the point of a spring rain jacket. This has no soft lining because it's not supposed to. We live in Virginia where you typically (not this year!) have only a handful of days that are spring warm/hot but significantly raining. So even your lightweight winter hooded jacket is too warm for the weather but a non-rain resistant spring jacket won't do either. We hate having to carry umbrellas, so this lightweight, hooded rain jacket does the trick. I bought Columbia thinking that he can own it for years to come since he's done with all of his major growth spurts & our area typically doesn't have enough of these days to justify buying a new one every year for a growing kid. It's also very squishable/packable, so it's the kind of thing that I would recommend he throw into every duffle/suitcase he packs for trips as a "just in case" kind of thing that takes up so little room & adds so little weight to your luggage that you're grateful if you need it & you don't really mind that you brought it even if you didn't end up needing it.

Fits great and keeps you dry!

First off gotta say I love this. Very happy I got it! There’s some things I wish were different and I’ll get into that but overall I think it’s a solid buy. Size: So I’m 6’4” and about 340lbs. The sizing was confusing when buying so I kept looking on other reviews etc to guess. Almost bought a 3Xl but I’m glad I went with the 4Xl instead. A little big but not unflattering. In fact it felt better and more breathable that way. So if you’re a big guy there’s big sizes for you! Design pros: Bought for deep sea fishing but honestly, I think I’d rock this even as a rainy day jacket! It’s got a nice style! Cons: lack of lining inside the sleeves can make it feel a bit clammy if you have nothing under and it’s resting just on your skin. Also, the straps at the wrists only help make it smaller not bigger as I was assuming so it’s not something you can role up your sleeves with. Pockets are a bit underwhelming as they’re made of a very flimsy feeling mesh(may not actually be flimsy) but I did not feel safe having anything important in my pockets. All that being said? I would still really Recommend this especially for bigger guys as our options are limited!

A great warm weather rain coat

This is a great product to be used during warm weather rain showers. The fit is good. The jacket rolls up easily into a self contained pouch that easily fits into a golf bag. Speaking of golf, there is plenty of room to freely swing a club. I look forward to a lot of use.

Great Jacket to Replace my Original Watertight I

For many years now, I've been wanting/needing to replace my original Columbia Watertight jacket. What stopped me is that they quit making the original Watertight jacket and it seemed that the replacement jacket (Watertight II) was just too different for my liking. Well I finally gave in and found out for sure, through a series of trial and error purchases, that my original Columbia Watertight jacket was better matched not with the Columbia Watertight II, but rather with this Glennaker Lake jacket! I will have to admit however, that this jacket is not a "direct" replacement, but it is a much much better match than the Watertight II (who woulda thunk!?!?!)! So the main differences that I noticed between them is that this Glennaker Lake jacket has Velcro to hold the hood rolled up in place rather than the zipper used my original Watertight. Also, the chest pocket is not only located inside the front zip-up enclosure (you have to partially unzip the the jacket in order to access the chest pocket), but it too is held closed by Velcro, unlike my original jacket that had the chest pocket outside the front zip-up enclosure (jacket could remain fully zipped up and still offer access to the chest pocket), with a zipper for the pocket itself. Oh, and the Glennaker's sleeves have Velcro at the ends rather than an elastic band. Even with these subtle differences, I feel that the jacket itself is a pretty close match to my original. The material is light-weight but is still waterproof and windproof so that it actually provides warmth when it's cold. The other stuff (Velcro, chest pocket, etc...), I'm sure I will eventually get used to as time goes by. All in all, this is a genuine authentic Columbia jacket with the embroidered Columbia name sewn into the material.

The best rain jacket I've owned; be careful when washing

I've been buying Columbia rain jackets for years, and I'll keep doing it! They look great and always feel light while keeping me dry in the heaviest of rain storms. I've found that these jackets run on the larger size, but that's okay in this case because typically you will be wearing it over your existing layers. The material that this jacket is made out of feels light while you wear it and doesn't add extra heat to your layers. I've worn this jacket in the spring, summer, and fall and it always feels great without making me overheat. However, in the summer the jacket can keep in humidity underneath, so often times I have to unzip it or take it off. This is especially noticeable when there is off-and-on rain and the sun hits you, you'll want to rip this off ASAP. These jackets are also great because you can roll them up into a ball and make them very compact to fit in a backpack or bicycle bag to avoid any looming rainclouds. I would always take my jacket with me if there was a chance of rain because it hardly added any bulk to carry in my bag. One negative that I've found: My old Columbia jacket from 2013 was the best, but I noticed after washing it a few times that it slowly lost its waterproofing. After about 4 years of use and periodic washes the jacket was pretty useless. Be careful with this jacket and make sure that you only spot clean or wash when needed, because overtime after washing the jacket it may lose the waterproofing and soak through. Overall these jackets are some of the best rain jackets you can buy. They are light but always keep you dry! Just make sure to follow the care instructions so they don't lose their waterproofing over time.

Looks To Be An Excellent, Light (Hopefully) Waterproof Jacket For The Big/Tall Guys!

OK, after a lot, and I mean A LOT, of hemming, hawing, asking questions (thanks again JT, whoever you are), adding it to my cart, deleting it from my cart and finally re-adding it to my cart, I finally just bucked up and bought the dang thing. I got the light green one as opposed to the blue and orange one I’d originally been perusing, in the 3XT. The size chart was actually helpful and though the 2XT might actually be a more snug fit, I’m gonna keep this one. It’s never a bad idea to have a light windbreaker type jacket and I do like my clothes bigger even when I’m a smaller version of a big guy, but I really purchased this for a trip next month to Costa Rica so I don’t get totally drenched in the rainforests. But I definitely wanted it light as it will be hot. Anyway, it’s plenty long so it won’t ride up (I’m 6’4”), pretty well below the belt (in a good way) though I’d be thrilled if it was just a tad longer. But it’ll work. The sleeves are a bit too long, maybe a 38/39 if it was compared to a dress shirt and I’m more of a 37/38 kinda guy. Not a deal breaker, and I’m not sure if they can be shortened but perhaps wrapping the Velcro a little tighter will help. So we’ll see. The lime green color is pretty rad and unique and it will easily stuff into a backpack as for this trip, it really is a “just in case” jacket. So after all the hoopla, I’m really glad I bought it. I can’t comment on the water-proof aspect, as I’m not in CR yet and it’s probably not gonna rain in SoCal anytime soon. But others have vouched for it so I’m sure it’ll hold up fine. And if I get wet, I get wet - that’s half the fun! Do check the size chart as that helped me a lot in my decision, as did telling myself to “nut up or shut” up (as Tallahassee in “Zombieland” would say), and just send the thing back if I didn’t like it. But I do! I really do! And no one gave me anything to write this! Hope this helps. Cheers!

I originally bought this jacket for hiking since I started ...

I originally bought this jacket for hiking since I started hiking locally about a couple months ago and I needed something in case it would rain. Unfortunately it never rained during my hikes, however today I had a Night Nation 5k run and it has been raining since last night non stop. I wore it in heavy wind and while raining for about 2 hours and it protected me from the rain the whole time! It was windy and about 45 degrees out. I wore another thin jacket underneath to keep me warm and this one to keep the water off of me and it worked perfectly! I had my wallet and my cell phone in the inside left packet and it stayed dry as well! Initially i was going to buy this jacket in a local store because it was on clearance but it was still $10 more than the price on amazon, and with 2 day prime free shipping you can't beat it!

I'm very pleased with this jacket

I bought this jacket as a shell/waterproof layer for hiking. I ordered it to have a little extra room as it will be a top layer and it fit as expected. In fact, I am very happy with the fit. It is quite lightweight and packs down into it's own stuff pocket (once I found it on the inside) that can double as a small inside pocket if necessary. During a short weekend outing I used it during a cool rainy morning outside and it performed well. Only the front is lined, so there is a little bit of "stick" where my skin was in direct contact with the jacket but nothing that I didn't expect. It performed well in the bit of rain I exposed it to, so I'm very pleased so far. For now, this is my go-to carry along everywhere jacket.

Just buy it !

I bought this for my husband as a gift to take on our trip to Disney world ( the weather is always so unpredictable there !) and he absolutely loved it ! It never rained not once , but he still wore it every day of our trip there. And it wasn’t always the warmest there either. But this jacket kept him nice and warm as he wore it all day long all through out the parks. It’s a good jacket made out of amazing material. If you are on the market for a rain jacket look no further. Seriously. Just stop and buy this jacket. It is a little pricey. But you get what you pay for. And I promise you won’t be disappointed if you buy this one ! My husband loves it so much that we ended up having to buy him another one once we got home from our trip because his first one we bought got stollen out of the stroller while we was in Disney.

Very Nice and Very High Value!

This fits larger than expected. I usually take a large jacket, but with this coat the medium is the best fit unless i want to wear it over a polar fleece jacket. I had the Northface equivalent of this jacket before I lost weight and needed a smaller size. The lining definitely makes this coat more water resistant than other windbreakers, such as the Northface. I also like the velcro adjustments at the cuffs so that the arms won't go beyond the wrists of my somewhat-shorter-than-average arms. The tuck away hood is also much less bulky than that of the Northface equivalent and seems just as protective. Great coat and great value at half the price of the Northface equivalent.
