Customer Reviews Columbia Pardon My Trench™ Rain Jacket

Really nice product but sizing not accurate. Disappointed but will reorder.

Very nice, very waterproof. Packs small, super lightweight. Took it on a trip to Alaska and it served me well, even in pouring rain. I love that it is long enough to sit on if need be.

I like this jacket. I'm in college and want to have a nice looking jacket for all of those rainy days walking across campus. It is cute and the cut is flattering however the ties don't stay in place unless you double knot them. Not a very big deal but I regret not getting the jacket with elastic at the waist instead. Overall, very pleased.

First off, I am a true 8-10. I'm 5ft and a curvy 143lbs. Every review said this jacket ran small so I ordered up a size. I AM SWIMMING IN IT. Stick with what you would normally order. Otherwise, it's adorable and very sturdy considering how lightweight it is. I hope to exchange for a medium!

I purchased my wife the Women's Take To The Street Trench Coat. I later purchased her the Women's pardon My Trench Rain Coat. If you look them up, they look almost identical. One heavier than the other. But they sure do not fit the same. The Take To The Streets Trench Coat fits her really good. The Pardon My Trench Rain Coat is a good bit smaller. Hard to believe but it is true.

I loved the product, but it runs small. I ordered a size larger, XL, and it still did not fit correctly. I would not have been able to wear a heavy sweater underneath. When zipped up, I looked like a sausage. Really sad it did not work.. great weight and good quality.

I got the black jacket in a Medium, and I'm 20 years old 5'3 and 120lbs. Fits great! I love the length, just covers my bum and the pockets are nice because they zip shut. Sometimes it takes me a minute to zip the jacket because of the double zipper, but I love the fact that there is a double zipper. However I thought that it was going to be a little more water proof. It works great in light rain but last night I was out on my bike and it started raining pretty hard and especially my arms got really wet. Also I agree with others about the hood--I can't get it to stay up, even when I pull the strings as tight as I can. Overall I like the jacket, but I would not recommend if you're going to be in heavy rain.

I LOVE THIS JACKET. IT RUNS A LITTLE SMALL. THE DESIGN IS VERY CUTE AND TRENDY. I HOPE THIS WEBSITE WILL CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER CONCERNS.

This jacket is very stylish for a rain jacket. It is not very warm though. If you want to wear this in winter weather you need something like a fleece jacket underneath. The jacket runs a little small. If you are in between two sizes, take the larger one.

I really like the design and look of this jacket. I purchased one for myself and my mother. I ordered a large. My body measurements are just smaller than the ones listed and it barely fits me. It runs small in the hips especially. I do love how it looks though. My moms measurements are within the ones listed for XL and the jacket did not fit. Could not be zipped.

I think this jacket is up to par with some of the weather we have been having here. Plus I needed a longer light rain jacket to go with my long shirts/skirts/dresses for work. For the price, you get what you paid for. I like that this jacket is light and keeps me protected from light rain. I haven't tested it in heavy rain but i don't expect it to protect me like the north face. Same material as Northface on the outside, just a little concern on durability though. Other than that, I order this and received it within 2-3 business days for standard shipping. Just in time for the holidays! Thanks for making my first purchase fast and efficient!

Good-looking, rolls up compact in a suitcase. Very warm and is a great windbreaker. Pockets zip, which I like for traveling. I am a full size 14 in blouses and an XL fit me just fine. The belted waist is nice, and the size of the belt is fine for me. Unfortunately for this review, it hasn't rained yet, but the jacket seems well-made so I believe it will hold up.

Bought this for a great price in preparation for a trip to the UK. It is lightweight and packs well. It was a great jacket to have in the windy rainy weather. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the zipper. It is difficult to get started and I have had that issue with 2 other jackets from Columbia. Would recommend highly otherwise.

I like this coat..stylish for a rain coat. But it is thinner than I expected, maybe would need a fleece inside during the rain. I have problem with the sleeves because it runs larger and longer than the usual size I have. BTW, there is a ventilation part on the back, makes me think that if I walk in windy rain, the water could go through inside the back part (but have not try it yet, though). But overall, I like it.

This coat is so good for traveling, because it's lightweight and packs so well. I've worn it in heavy rain and wind at the beach and the waterproofing worked really well. It breathes well. My only complaint it the belt is so short and the waistline is high. I'm 5' 1" and it's on the border.

This is a great jacket! It felt very well-made and I loved the purple color. However, it was too small for me in the hips (I usually wear XS-S on top and M on bottom). I have a long winter coat in a size S from Columbia and it fits perfectly but the S in this one was way too small in the hips. I had to go all the way up to a L in order to fit my hips but that was way too big on top. So, I'll have to keep looking for a raincoat. But, if it fits you, I think it would be a great jacket!

I am a size small normally, but I found this product's version of small to have particularly long sleeves. Since I am on the petite side, I will not claim that this product is made for gorilla-like bodies, but if you are also a bit more compact in size, be aware that the Small will flap past your hands. I'm 5'2" and 120 lbs and I think Columbia generally makes the smalls for people bigger than me. No big deal. I'm ordering the x-small, and then I can go play in the rain!

It is a good waterproof jacket. It was not exactly what I thought, because I thought it was thicker, but it is a thin jacket to protect water only and not the cold. Anyway it is a good jacket, very nice, good quality and good price.

The jacket is well made.I normally wear a size 4 and the small ran large and looked boxy and unshapely on me,so am returning it.

The fabric is so soft, not crinkly and keeps the chilly spring breezes out when I'm walking the dog in the evening. I like a fit. The cut is slightly tailored, so it looks good over clothes I wear to work as a teacher. I don't look bulky and the jacket is long enough to cover longer sweaters. It unzips from the bottom, so it doesn't feel tight when I'm sitting in car. The hood lays flat on the back when not being used. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I haven't had a chance to use it out in a downpour yet.

I bought this jacket on impulse after seeing that this upcoming week was going to be filled with lots of rain since my current rain jacket doesn't keep me very dry. According to the size chart, I would be a small (5'6", 28" waist) but the medium fits perfectly. So far the jacket has kept me very dry. It is very lightweight so I need to layer with fleece on cold days, and I think it will be great for warmer rainy days. I noticed that some of the thread was loose in some areas, but not very much. The tie belt is flattering, as opposed to the boxy shapes of other jackets.

I'm having to send this back. Even though all my raincoats are a size small, this was definitely too small. Also, the color in the photo looks more purple, but it actually is closer to navy. Really wanted this to work.

I'm tall and curvy. I tried the XL and it's about a size too small so I have to try the plus size. Too bad. The length in the arms and body was just right!

This is an okay rain jacket, but like the others I have tried at Columbia, it runs small. I ordered a large after getting two previous orders that were way too small for the stated size. This one fits like a Medium. It's not terribly attractive, but I needed a waterproof raincoat, and this will suffice.

I ordered an XL after reading the reviews. It is a good size for a tall, skinny person. The sleeves are very long, but the torso is snug. I plan to return it. If layering for warmth, this will not work for me. The proportions seem off. I thought I had long arms. It is not water proof but water resistant. I have a jacket with Omni Tech which I love and will shop for that feature as it is waterproof. I really liked this silhouette.
