Customer Reviews Columbia Arcadia™ II Jacket

My rain jacket is very comfortable, the color is wonderful, I loved this jacket!!! I recommend to use for trail and camping in the spring and autumn!!!

We get a lot of rainy, humid weather in the south and I love that this jacket is not too warm. Yet, it layers well on cooler days and keeps the wind out. I can't tell you how much I love this jacket and the color (dark seas) is beautiful! Goes well with almost everything. My only critique would be that the zipper pull is a little flimsy and you have to move the velcro flap out of the way to zip up = extra time if you're in a hurry. Otherwise, I will buy this jacket again when the time comes.

I'm very pleased with my purchase. This jacket fits easily over a thick sweater. I no longer have to worry about grabbing my umbrella each time I step outside. Perfect in the Pacific Northwest!

The delivery was very quick. The jacket is light and repels wind Very comfortable Would recommend

This lovely jacket has the Columbia quality I have come to know, love and trust over decades. Beautiful. ~K

The coat works very well in the rain. I ordered an extra large thinking I could put a sweater underneath. Well the jacket is true to its size. I could wear a very thin sweater underneath the coat and that's about it. That is the only thing I have to say negative about the coat. Well it's not even a negative thing. The coat is true the the size. I would recommend the coat to friends and family.

This jacket is light weight. I ordered an extra large so that I can wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. I wore it out in a heavy rain storm and remained dry. I have recommended this jacket.

Bought this before a trip to FL in January. I loved the jacket it was a fun color for Florida and I used it a lot in the month of January down there. It was light weight but kept the wind and rain out. The mesh inside did stick to a few of my clothes sometimes and I wasn't crazy about the velcro strips over the zipper part, but overall it was a nice little jacket and was a must have on my trip.

I bought this jacket for a windbreaker / semi-raincoat. It's even better in person it cinches in just a little bit in the waist and gives a shape to it, so it's not boxy at all.

I ordered this jacket in red in medium. I'm 5'5" 140 pounds, and it fits perfectly. Lightweight, comfy, and will be perfect for late winter and spring.

I absolutely love this little rain jacket! In South Carolina it tends to rain quite a bit in the winter, so it's been perfect for just that. It also can be super compact for traveling purposes, which I like. For anyone who needs a durable, reliable rain jacket, I 10/10 recommend this one! Keep in mind though, it's not super warm (so wear layers under it if you're cold), but it certainly keeps you dry!

Perfect light weight rain jacket. True to size with enough room to layer a sweater underneath if needed. Won't weigh you down or make you sweat on a hike. Tucks into its own pocket for easy compact storage.

I am a boat captain and this is the 4th one of these I have bought! I have one of both of my boats and got rain jackets for mom & dad. It's functional, fashionable and comfortable.

I got this raincoat in the raw honey color, size small. I'm 5'4", 120lbs. Fits perfectly- I can wear it over a sweatshirt and it's lightweight enough that I can fold it up and tuck it in my purse if I need to.

Love this jacket! Always stay totally dry. Omni Tech fabric is great!! Recommended this jacket to two friends, they have been impressed that I have stayed dry while they are wet. They have ordered jackets too.

This coat is a must have if you need to go outdoors even in the rain. I got them all x-large because I often hike with my SLR camera and I need to be able to put the camera under the coat. Binoculars as well. I am a guide in Hawaii, at the 4000 elevation it can be chilly, this jacket is perfect for hiking. Most of my other raincoats trap moisture in them so I end of up wet inside the jacket from humidity, not this jacket. Super breathable. I have also been caught in torrential rainstorms and it didn't leak. If I know I am going to be out all day and it's going to rain I'll bring a couple so I can change them out. Sometimes one of my customers forgets a windbreaker so I loan them one of these and they usually tell me how much they loved it and they want one too. It is also super soft and not hard and scratchy. I don't even touch my other raincoats anymore, I only use this one (I may need more colors). The pockets are extra roomy on these which is great as well.

No surprises here. As expected from Columbia, this is a great rain jacket! Keeps me dry while being breathable.

This is a great jacket for wearing by itself in the rain or wearing over other jacket in winter. I bought this for both uses. Keep it with me when I am hiking with chance of rain. Also wear it over other jacket as an outer layer when skiing or hiking in winter. Also bought the insulated pants that match perfectly and are great when playing snow sports. Very windproof and the hood keeps me very dry and warm. Bought one and my friend liked it so well that I bought one for her too. She used it while hiking in Yosemite and loved it!

Great fit and true to size. Flattering but not too fitted. Adjustable sleeves at cuff.

Excellent waterproof jacket with the perfect hood that keeps the rain out. I love the color (dark seas) too. The little extra lengths is great. I wear a size 8/10 and got the large, and have room for a layer underneath, which is definitely needed in cooler weather. Would highly recommend for a functional rain jacket.

Just repurchased after 7 wonderful years with my first one. It saw lots of wear and tear through college and lots of traveling and hikes upon hikes. I got a large so I could wear it on top of layers and it's perfect. Very breathable in warmer weather and overall very waterproof. The hood has a piece that juts out to keep rain off your face which is probably my favorite feature.

I ABSOLUTELY love it! It's easy to wear. It keeps you dry even in heavy rain and the best part of it is that it has a pocket where you can pack the coat!!!!

I was gifted this jacket and I am so impressed with the quality. It fits well. It is made very well. Most importantly, it is truly waterproof! My family and I were outside tonight in pouring nonstop rain, and this jacket kept me perfectly dry! The rain just slid right off and when I got home and noticed a few drops still on it, I shook the jacket and they came right off! Meanwhile my sons' winter jackets had soaked up all the rain and they were drenched. I've never been this impressed with a jacket. I'm planning on buying this for my husband and sons as well now. I would even buy more for myself in different colors! I love it!

I've tried several brands of "waterproof" rain jackets and none have been as effective as this Arcadia II! Love the Velcro over the zipper to provide a solid sealed closure. Lightweight and hip length. Would love to see a shorter length running jacket with the same "Omni" waterproof technology!

I recently moved to the coastal area where it's wet and windy but not very cold. I needed something to keep me from getting drenched while keeping cool. I just love this rain jacket. Perfect for my out door runs and hikes in the rainy season. The price Is reasonable as well. Worth every penny.
