Customer Reviews Columbia Splash A Little™ Rain Jacket

I purchased this jacket for a 10-day trip to Scotland and London and I have to say it performed beautifully! The cut is quite slim so it looks nice and not garish, and I found it kept the rain and wind out well. I will say that because it is a slim fit and not insulated, it goes without saying you need thin layers against the cold. Although this is not for travel per se, I found this could be rolled up and stuffed into a handbag if need be! My only complaint is with the hood, I found that in light rain it would often fall back onto my shoulders. I wish it was weighted slightly to help prevent this, but overall I was/am very satisfied with my purchase.

Super cute rain jacket. Love that it covers my butt. Also love the color. It's not a thick or thin jacket, just the perfect thickness. True to size (I'm 5'4", 110 LBS and got the xs which fit perfect).

I love this jacket. It's exactly what I had in mind when I began shopping for the item! However, I was surprised to find it ran so small that in order to layer a sweater I had to move from my normal sizing of "medium/12" to extra large in this garment. Only negative is the length of the sleeves; for average build one needs to cuff or have altered.

This is a great lightweight wind-breaker type raincoat. I wear between a small and a medium size, and the medium size fit better as it gave me a little more shoulder room but fit well in the waste. It's also long enough to cover my rear so it kept my butt dry when sitting down. I wore this on a trip to Paris and it worked great.

Love your jackets. I only buy Columbia. They are comfortable and waterproof. Moving from Chicago, I gave away all my other jackets I had. I love the inside security pocket. I always look for that feature and that's the jacket I buy. Keep up the good work. Thank you!

A gift for your mother-in-law better be great and it was. She loves this rain jacket, says it's everything she wanted and then some. Her first remark was, "it's gorgeous." and wears it anytime it even looks like rain...

Ordered a small for my teenage daughter who normally wears a small and it fits her very well. Sleeves have the perfect length you want in a rain jacket. The length of this jacket is what made us decide to choose this one - and it's perfect. She wore this in the PNW on several rainy days - including to the Pacific Ocean and Olympic National Park where it was pretty much down pouring - no leaks at all! Each night she hung it up and it had dried by morning for another day in the rain. Highly recommend this rain jacket. It's even at a price point lower than many other rain jackets which just makes it even better in my book.

Ordered this online, and wore it on a visit to Seattle. It kept me dry and fits very nicely. The only issue I have, is the zipper gets stuck a little.

Being a native Oregonian I am used to the rainy weather. This coat was great because it has plenty of pockets, arm length longer (and I prefer that), feminine fit...LOVE that! Love the hood and that it can be adjusted, length is perfect. Purchased a large so that I could layer and even without layers it doesn't look like I'm wearing my husbands too large ski jacket.

I'm always nervous buying coats and jackets online because I'm petite adult, 4"11 95 lbs. Ordered an xs and fit perfectly. The sleeves have an adjustable Velcro strap around the wrist to tighten and loosen which I needed to make tight at possible. I can move my arms comfortably and the length is perfect, just covers my butt, and is not too long but definitely a cuter style rain coat. It's super light though, definitely a warmer spring day jacket

I am so in love with my new rain jacket! It's very lightweight, soft, not too noisy, and it keeps me surprisingly warm. I also love the longer length.

My friend has this exact coat and I loved the way it fit and looked. It will be a great addition to the Columbia jackets I already own. Perfect for the rainy weather and lightweight enough for spring/fall weather. I really like the longer length, which gives better coverage in inclement weather.

A great lightweight rain jacket! I recently moved to the Pacific NW, so needless to say I was in need of a high-quality, waterproof jacket. I've worn this out in the rain a few times and it is completely waterproof. It's very lightweight but can easily accommodate a sweater if it's a little chilly out. The hood also completely covers your face which is great. I usually wear a small (5'4", 115lbs) and the small fit really well. The bottom seems a little tighter around the legs than is common, but I went on a pretty long hike and had no issues going up and down hills.

I bought mine slightly larger than needed so I can layer in the winter but it is fitted enough to wear in the spring (and into the Oregon summer) through the rain season. I love the olive color and subtle print because I needed something "neutral" but not black.

I read some of the other reviews before purchasing this product and wondered if I would have some of the same problems (zipper difficulty, hood having no cinch so it would fall when windy). Not at all! The zipper can be a little fickle but I appreciate that you can unzip from the bottom for comfort when sitting. Additionally, the cinch and Velcro adjustment in the hood is perfect; there's even a little brim to help keep drips out of your face. It's lightweight so very easily stowed away into a larger purse or bag. That being said, I did go up one size so that I could layer underneath for warmth if needed. But, it doesn't end up being too baggy without layers because it has somewhat of a more feminine shape than just straight down like men's wear. I love the pocket placement and the little one on the inside. I have stayed completely dry during record rainfall in Portland, OR. The only thing I find myself wishing it had at times are zippered armpit vents as rain gear can get a little muggy on the inside. Thank you :)

light, comfy, modern fit. love the way the jacket fits. I use it as a commuter jacket

The color is beautiful and the fit is small like the other reviews say. I also ordered this jacket in the cream and moss in a size small because I wasn't sure what size/color my daughter would like. She is a size 2/4 and 5'7". I was afraid the medium would be too big but I think it is going to be the right size. The big difference between the small and medium is the length, which was a positive. The zipper on this particular jacket was hard to get started; however, the other two jackets connect and zip easily.

Look no farther for a great rain jacket...this one is the best...a little longer length keeps you covered and fashionably dry in wet weather. The fabric is smooth and comfy...nice style with big pockets to hold whatever you need. The hood is big enough to keep you covered. I love this jacket so bought it in the rich blue colour and in the white/grey print so I am all set for spring and fall use! The jacket is slightly fitted which looks stylish so that is why I mentioned it fits small...no problem because it has style for a rain jacket and doesnt look like a bag. I have had lots of nice compliments when wearing this.

This is the perfect all around rain jacket. Its long enough to cover most of my clothing.

I decided to buy this raincoat so I could do like the PNWers and forgo an umbrella in the rain in NYC. This jacket is very light weight so I can wear it in the occasional summer rain, plus there is a bit of room to layer for cooler temps. The material is awesome and keeps me dry. I typically wear a medium and sometimes large (I'm 5'6" chest 36C 150 lbs) but I'm pear shaped and my hips don't lie so I went with a large like recommended and the fit is great. I still have room on top but no problems zipping the jacket over my hips. Awesome product overall!

Great length, waterproof, beautiful purple. I get so many compliments on this jacket. My two qualms however, hood could stand to cover the face more, still get pelleted in the face with the rain. The zipper can sometimes cause me trouble and I give up at that moment and use the buttons.....feature better than Velcro

Good looking raincoat. Lightweight and easy to travel with. Very packable. Shoulders run a little tight. I normally wear an XS, but had to take a S in this product. However, liked it so much I'm ordering one for my mother.

The fabric design and color is very beautifull, the lentgh is perect and keeps me warm and for rain is very good, Don't have any problem in a rain day, the size is small, I think is almost one size small
