I love my new jacket! It is classy and sporty and suits my lifestyle in Alaska. With all the rain that we have been getting lately, I am styling and the green coloring is great for Fall and not dreary like Black which I agree from another reviewer. I went up a size to a Medium as suggested and that was a good call. You will not be disappointed with this buy!

I love this jacket. It fits perfectly. Previous reviewers were spot-on when they suggested going up a size from what you usually would buy. I am 6ft tall with a long torso and the arm length is perfect. The hood even fits over my mass of hair. It also has some room for layers underneath.

I love it! It fits a little big on me. I got a large. I am fine with that because I will be wearing sweaters under it. It is really cute!

I love every part of this jacket. Kept me dry while commuting to work and class. The adjustable hood prevents it from blowing off in the wind which was key for me. It's a longer length and will cover your bum but is not so long that it is overwhelming.
Fits amazingly. Note that it is fitted at the waist. I find the fit flattering but still roomy enough to layer underneath. It is also thin enough that I often layer this under a lighter, spring jacket. Zip up pockets prevents your phone/keys from getting wet. Truly no complaints. Staple in my wardrobe that I would gladly pay full price for. I am rather petite and it is often difficult to find jackets that fit all over.

Definitely get a size bigger than you normally wear but this rain jacket is awesome. It's extremely stylish so you don't feel like you're in "hiking gear." You can wear this with a fancy outfit since it just has the fashionability about it. The olive green color is lovely and I highly recommend this jacket.

This was hs graduation gift for granddaughter. She loved it. Good fit & well made. Very pleased with it, so I bought another slicker for another granddaughter.

Love this jacket! It's super versatile, comfortable and of course quality. I purchased the white in a large. The white is more of an off white which is nice because stark white doesn't work for most people who venture outside. I am 5'7" with some curves and there's plenty of room for everything. The sleeves are a perfect length. I also like having the longer length because on tunic and leggings days it's a great top layer.

Overall I love this jacket and very happy with purchase. However I found this jacket to run small and narrow in the bodice and did return my initial purchase for a size larger. Once I got the fit the jacket looks great and keeps me dry from the rain and gives me slight warmth/coverage on those slightly cool days.

Wonderful, bright rain coat with a faint color on color pattern. Kept me dry on a rainy day while I was in and out of the car several times! Hood was perfect and I love the longer length!

This rain jacket fits well and looks good. It is just the right length to keep you dry. The zipper from the bottom helps you to sit in the car and then zip up for walking. I totally recommend this jacket. Love having a hood also. The weight is good for packing in a suitcase. It takes up hardly any space and is real handy. Add a sweater underneath for warmth if needed.

I'm 5' 5", a size 12, usually in between a M and a L, read the reviews and bought an XL. I wore it over a long-sleeved tee and light polar fleece jacket - wasn't much room to spare, especially in the arms and shoulders. The sleeves reach almost to the first knuckles on my fingers, so I can easily curl my fingers in out of the rain, or velcro the sleeves snugly about my wrist. I'd prefer a longer jacket, as it barely reaches mid-thigh, but I walked for two hours in light rain, and stayed reasonably dry. A little damp around the cuffs.

I love how this jacket is fitted to a woman's figure! This is why some reviews say it runs small. It fits perfectly yr size w 1 cotton layer under it. If u need warmth (have a fleece or sweater under it) or have a fuller figure, choose the next size larger. I'm 5'7",150lbs,sz M.
The zipper is fine, but U need to make sure the 2 zippers are completely lowered & held on the one side, while inserting the bottom part of the other side of the zipper. Pull this bottom part completely down to the end of the 2 zippers. Then try to zip the coat. If the 2 ends of the zipper are uneven, it won't zip. This is true of most zippers.

I live in Oregon where it rains....I wanted a longer length rain jacket that was waterproof. I searched many stores in person and on-line and kept coming back to this jacket. I LOVE it! I bought the hibiscus color and have had many compliments. I am about 5 ft 3 in and weigh 150 lbs. I bought the XL so that I could wear a fleece vest under it when more warmth needed. This works great. The sleeves are long.....but I can either turn them up or tighten up velcro at the wrists! Walked in a rainstorm last week and stayed perfectly dry. I also like how the hood can adjust with velcro in the back.

I live in Oregon, so rain gear is very important if you want to be able to function outdoors. I just needed a shell so i could use it all year warm or cold. The reviews and sizing guide say it runs small. I am 5'7" 150 lbs, normally i order a Medium so i sized up to a large. When I received the coat and put it on it seemed way to big. I put it on with a cardigan on underneath and it still had a lot of room. It was pouring rain out so I decided just to stick with it and wear it out for a walk. The hood had amazing coverage and room. No water got through at all, and i ended up being very warm after 30 minutes of walking. I decided just to keep it and I am happy I did. I wore it again with my Suit underneath and it fit with a just enough room to spare. I am happy I sized up and cant wait for the weather to get colder to bundle underneath!

I live in Chicago and after last years terrible fall/ winter experience I quickly realized it was about function and not style, also that i had no coats with hoods. I bought this as my new fall coat and could not be happier! unfortunately it has been cold and rainy enough for me to break this out already and Ive gotten tons of compliments! im 5'8 and normally wear a medium/ small (i like my stuff more fitted) but after reviews reluctantly ordered the large, which im so glad i did! It fits just perfect, plenty of room for a layer underneath when it gets cooler and it is fitted and not boxy at all. Sleeves are freakishly long but i just rolled them up once and it looks like theyre supposed to be that way. I stay dry and warm and really love this coat. I wear this downtown for work everyday and it looks great with jeans as well as dresses or dress pants!

Great jacket. Long length, which is hard to find. It is fitted so it doesn't look like a frumpy rain coat. I ordered a small, which fit perfectly (I am 5'7 and the arms were plenty long enough). I haven't worn it in the rain yet, but it is a great coat.

It's been a little cold to wear this much, but it seems perfect for spring mist or rain. I'm out walking or hiking every day, so look forward to getting a lot of wear out of this coat. It's fitted and more stylish than other raincoats I've had. I like the bright red-orange because it makes me feel visible when walking along the side of neighborhood roads. The zip pockets, plus inside pocket are well positioned and are just big enough for a few dog treats or phone. The zipper and snaps are well constructed and the hood adjustable. All in all, a really nice coat that looks like it will wear well.

I live in Oregon, so it's essential to have a reliable rain jacket. This is my second from Columbia, and I love it. It's tailored well, so it isn't boxy and has a feminine feel. The hood is generous. It's also a bit long in the back, which is really what I was looking for.

This is a very good light jacket, it is breathable but blocks the wind nicely. I wear it over a sweater usually when it is cold out, and I don't get overheated.

Took heed of other reviews for the sizing of this rain jacket and ordered up a size. The cut is very stylish, and because of that, it is a rather tight-fitting jacket. I am 5'5", weigh 135, small boned. Normally a Medium jacket is quite loose on me so I was confident a Large would fit like I prefer coats to fit -- a bit loose. If I were to only wear this for summer rains, fit would be fine, but most of our midwest rains are in the spring and fall so fleece is a must for me. With layers under this coat, the arms were pretty tight. The rest of the jacket was snug, however, it was acceptable. Debated with myself because I really, really, like the jacket, however, ended up returning it because of the tightness when layering under the coat.

I bought this jacket for an autumn trip to the UK and couldn't have been happier. It kept me dry and helped to cut down on the wind, as well. I normally wear XS or S in clothing but the S bunched a little in the back so I went with the M to have room underneath for layers. I couldn't be happier with this jacket!
