Customer Reviews Columbia Arcadia™ II Jacket

I bought this jacket for my 63 year old wife who still runs a 8 minute mile. This jacket is lightweight and repels water like no other. Fits perfectly for her runs in the rain. I would highly recommend it for all serious runners.

The XS jacket runs a little big on me personally as I'm petite and short. I bet if they had an XXS it'd fit perfect. Overall, the functionality is great, waterproof/keeps the rain out, serves as a great windbreaker, and definitely lightweight and easy to pack. I am happy about this purchase and will continue to use it on my hikes and in the city.

Quality is excellent - color was true to picture and shipping was fast!

I own 3 other Columbia jackets & my husband has 3, wouldn't purchase any other brand. This jacket is great! ! The only negative is the lack of an inside zippered pocket for a cell phone. Other than that quality , fit, color all live up to Columbia's reputation.

Very nice jacket for the rainy weather and even nice on a spring or fall day. Lightweight but warm for cooler days. It can be easily folded up and put in a bag If weather changes. I got the Wild Iris and absolutely love the color.

Just a really beautiful jacket. I love the light fabric, the color wild iris is so nice.. this jacket is light but still warm enough for a northern Maine spring.

The jacket is perfect for both rain and wind. Excellent for hiking. Quality at a good price. Recommended.

The Arcadia II Rain Jacket is lightweight and very comfortable. I found it to be a little bit larger in size, at least in the arms, compared to what their sizing chart says. I'm 5'4" 133 lbs and ordered a medium and it fits perfect in the shoulders and the length of the jacket itself is nice. I have very small wrists and the arms are quite big on me. Other than that, I like this jacket very much. I haven't worn it in the pouring rain yet, only light drizzle and I have no complaints.

I am a professional dog walker. I need good gear to get me through all elements. After several rain jackets bit the dust I went searching for one that is truly waterproof and light weight. This jacket is great and I highly recommend it. I am a size 10-12 with broad shoulders and farm girl arms and I ordered a Med and a Large. The med is great for short sleeve spring days and the large for layering.

No complaints! I love it!

I absolutely love the color of this jacket. The fit is a little big for me but I like to wear hoodies under and it's fine! It's thin and I think this will be my new hiking jacket.

I like the color and the fit!

I love this jacket, the color is perfect, the material is flexible and durable. Great and perfect for my kind of job. Fast shipping too

I bought this for my daughter. She has used it in both light and heavy rain, and it has kept her dry, and comfortable. I highly recommend this jacket.

No apparent imperfections. Waiting to use it this summer, but have had other similar products in the past.

I recently purchased this product and tried it out today in a steady rain & wind. The jacket was wonderful, I stayed dry and warm! It is adjustable at the hood, sleeves and bottom of the jacket for added protection in the elements. They adjust easily and are user friendly. The color, Buttercup that I ordered is great for visibility in the rain and on those not so sunny days when you may be walking or hiking. The sizing runs as expected. I ordered a large so that if needed it can be worn over other layers underneath. It is very comfortable and breathable. I have had many other rain jackets that are not as functional. The jacket has a great look and style for a rain jacket. I would definitely recommend this to my friends!

Fits perfectly. True to size. Waterproof just like the description says.

I purchased this rain jacket for an upcoming trip to Alaska, but wore it on a hike today in the light rain. It is super comfortable and roomy enough to wear over my warmer jacket. It did it's job and kept me dry! Not super flattering, but very functional. I like the zippered pockets for carrying my phone and keys and the Velcro on the cuffs for tightening around my gloves.

I love this jacket. It has all the features needed to make it functional and comfortable: waterproof fabric, roomy hood, sturdy zipper and adjustable cuffs. The color is really nice as well.

I recently purchased this jacket. I was a little hesitant after I bought it thinking it was going to be too short in the torso. I wanted a slightly longer rain jacket for more protection. I had tried on so many rain jackets at stores and none of them fit well. When I received my Women's Arcadia II Rain Jacket and tried it on I was so happy! It fit so well and the color is perfect! (bold orange) This jacket is fitted in the waist line so you don't feel like a big box and the length is perfect. Now I am able to enjoy walks or runs in the rain thanks to this jacket!

I bought this to replace an older one, and I am happy to say that it is just as nice as the previous one. I never need an umbrella to stay dry if I am caught outside in the rain, and I never overheat, either! I love the "waterfall" color even better than the color of my older one. It is a great product!

A real nice light weight and stylish rain coat

I recently purchased this rain jacket because I was fed up with the cheaper rain coats I had been wearing. I was apprehensive to pay for a rain coat, however I live in Florida and was in desperate need of a light-weight rain coat for unexpected showers. This coat exceeded my expectations. The rain literally rolls right off of the jacket. I compared my jacket to friends jackets with seemingly similar brands and this Columbia jacket was far better at repelling rain drops. One of my favorite aspects of this jacket is that it is light-weight. It rolls up quite nicely into a large purse and is perfectly compact for taking on trips. I am 5'1" and ordered an XS, the sleeves are a little long however the velcro at the cuff is very nice. The pockets are nice and large. I love the length of the jacket- it is not too short or too long. It falls just past my waist, but does not look like the coat is swallowing me up. All in all, this is jacket is a good investment and I do not see myself ordering a new rain jacket for years to come. Thanks Columbia!

Nice flattering fit with coverage over the backside.

I have had an Arcadia II rain jacket a couple of years. I bought it because it is light weight, folds up into itself, fits nicely in a backpack, looks nice and is easy to clean. unfortunately left my first one in a hotel while on vacation. The first thing I did (after calling each hotel with no luck) was to order another jacket exactly like the ne I lost. It got here in time for my first spring hike! I love this jacket.
