This is a very nice quality rain parka. It covers the tush and is lightweight and breatheable. Based on other reviews I ordered a large. I am 5'6" and 140 lbs. I wish I had gone with the medium because it is big on me and I won't need to put a sweater under it as I will be using it in the tropics. It is true to size if you will just be wearing a single light shirt under.

I always wear a Medium, but in this jacket, I definitely need a Large. It is small in every way including the sleeve length, hood coverage, and the way it fits around my body. I am 5 foot 5 and 150lbs.

I'm 5'4" and 116 pounds and the small fits perfect. I like that it isn't boxy. It is stylish and the blue color is pretty. It hasn't rained since I got it (of course!) so I haven't tested it out in weather yet but it looks like it will do the job perfectly. I like that it comes down just a little lower so you have more protection. I also bought some rain pants just in case the weather is very bad.

I ordered a larger size as many reviews suggested, but it is too big. I am returning, hopefully can get a smaller size.

I bought this jacket to use as only a raincoat. BUT it has turnout to be my favorite coat for my winter in Nor Cal valley. The blue is very pretty. The style is very versatile. The length is tunic length, covers my back side well. It's light weight for cool-rainy days. Yet warm enough with a fleece underneath. I bought a large so I can wear a fleece under. I usually wear a medium but wanted a little extra room. I am 5'10" 140.

Great lightweight rain jacket for a college student. I bought one size up to go over a sweater or sweatshirt. I'm 5'10 so the longer length is perfect for me.

I have a narrow waist and a decent sized behind and this jacket fits perfectly and complements my figure. Lightweight but durable. Have worn in heavy rain a few times now and it keeps me very dry.

Love this jacket! I have worn it in the pouring rain many times and it is totally water proof. I had tried a few others but the cut was not feminine enough and the other jackets weren't long enough in the back. I like the seat coverage to wear with leggings or just to keep drier. One negative is that the hood is a nice size but it doesn't stay on so well so I sometimes have to hold it when I am running from car to house, store or whatever.

It's such a nice rain/hiking jacket. Very light and stylish. I got the noctournal dot and the dark navy blue and purple is so beautiful.

This is my first time buying a Columbia jacket and definitely not the last. I bought this jacket for an upcoming backpacking trip to Scotland. I wanted something light weight that I could layer with. I've been testing it out this winter and I'm amazed at how warm it is with layers. Just wore it in 17 degree temps in Utah with just a tshirt and sweater layered and my core stayed so warm! The length is great and I love the feminine design with tapered waist and a slight flair at bottom. It has an adjustable zipper so you can still be comfortable when sitting by unzipping from bottom. I am 5'4" and about 140lbs with a bust of about 36-38" and I bought a large which has left enough room for layers without swimming in it without layers. Sleeves are a little long but I just rolled cuff and it's fine.

The size was a little small for me, especially around the hips. I usually wear a small, but ended up buying the medium. Love the pink color to brighten up rainy days. It's thin, but windproof. I purchased a vest to wear under it.

Overall really happy with this jacket. Fits well and covers my butt.
The only thing I didn't love was how the hood rolled up, it looks pretty janky when rolled and you'd think Colombia would have designed that feature better.

I love this jacket. I had to exchange my S for an XS, but the fit is perfect. It's easy to layer with and provides good insulation on rainy days. I love the inside side pocket and the zipper pockets. Great jacket!

This jacket is a machine. I'm a rainwater engineer in Seattle and a daily bus commuter. I had a stiff gortex jacket before this and the lining cracked after a year or two. This jacket has held up for almost 5 years under serious use. It packs very small for camping, hiking, and airline carry-on, and sill looks sleek enough for my business meetings. I'm tall and curvy (5'9", 160lbs, 34DD, long arms) and the large fits perfectly. Not baggy on its own, but enough room for a sweater or sportcoat in the Seattle winter. Alas, the lining on the shoulders has finally bit the dust and I'm getting wet, so I am back for round 2.

I finally found the perfect rain jacket. I'm a large and it fits perfectly. Plenty of room in the bust and hip area where others fit snugly. It's long enough to cover my backside, even when sitting. The hood is adjustable so I can get a good fit that actually stays on my head, which has been a big problem with other jackets. I really like that it has snaps and a zipper so it can be quickly closed if needed. The pockets are roomy and zip to keep my personal items safely inside. So far I have worn it a number of times in heavy rain and have stayed completely dry. Having been through a number of other inferior rain jackets, I highly recommend this jacket if you are looking for a waterproof shell. Keep in mind that it is not heavily lined so it would not work well as a winter coat.

This is exactly the rain jacket I've been looking for. In the past, I'd always used the outer layer of a triclimate as my rain jacket. The problem with those was that they hit at the hip, and in the pouring rain that drips right down off the jacket and onto the bum.
The length of this jacket is perfect because it prevents that. It goes past falls past the hips far enough to protect you from the rain but not too far so as to make movement awkward or uncomfortable. Despite its size, when zippered the jacket still manages to feel slightly tailored. It is the perfect weight for late spring to early fall showers in New England. For reference, I'm 5'9" and 175 lb. I purchased an extra large and the size is perfect. The sleeves are also the perfect length for my height, which is often difficult to find.

This is a great rain jacket when you are looking for a combination of function and style. I found the large true to size, but the styling kept it looking very flattering. There is no give in the cut, so you won't want to size down. I love the longer style - it kept me totally dry during a downpour.

I'm 5'9, 143 lb, 36C, and 30" waist. I normally wear a large in these types of jackets, but I ordered the XL based on reviews and it's too big. I have long arms and I love that the sleeves are long enough! And I love that it covers the backside, coming just below the bum. I got the peachy pink color. I'm returning the XL for a L, but I'm on the fence about what color to get. The peachy pink is just a bit too light on me, but it is pretty and fresh.

Perfect jacket for travel. This will be my go-to jacket everywhere in the world, all year long. The velcro closures at the wrist are very handy. They keep out wind and rain, and the sleeves don't flop around as they often do with raincoats. Also, the length is great over tunics.

I loved the jacket but a little too tight around the waist to layer. I'll be very happy with a size bigger, wish I had followed others advice more carefully.

I got the jacket in the Extra Small and it fit perfect. I love the velcro around the wrist so that you can adjust it to whatever size you want. I'm taking it on a trip to Scotland this summer and I think it will be perfect.
