Customer Reviews Columbia Arcadia II™ Jacket

Great lightweight, waterproof jacket that can be stored in its own pocket when not in use. The White/Flint Grey is an eye pleasing combination that looks clean and feminine (as far as sports/outdoors jackets can go). Drawstrings around the waist and hood really does ensure a good fit keeping water out. However, hood is not deep; if you wear your hair in a ponytail don't expect a roomy fit. Sizing was a bit difficult. I'm in between S and XS. XS felt snug most in the hips, whereas S felt large & long in the arms. Neither is a perfect fit for me but in the end I chose S and happy with the purchase for its functionality and general style.

I loved this jacket, however not everything about it was great. It fit perfectly everywhere except my hips. I had lightweight clothing on and I could barely get the zipper closed. According to the size chart, the size I chose should have fit and I suppose that technically it did. However, it wasn't comfortable for me so I returned it.

I wanted to love this jacket but it lacks basic features such as arm pit zips and the biggest complaint is the hood is too short. I tried walking and could not get good coverage on my head. The hood is basically useless walking in the rain. I tried adjusting with the little toggles and that did not work either. This is an okay jacket for trips to the store in inclement weather but not good for out door activities in rainy weather. disappointed. I just didn't want to spend the money on another Patagonia. I guess you get what you pay for.

Excellent jacket! Keeps you dry in the rain. Fits true to size with enough room to wear a warmer layer underneath. Lightweight and easy to pack. Looks good on. Doesn’t have that crinkly sound that some rain gear does. Good quality—I have had another Arcadia for years that is still holding up and decided to treat myself to a different color.

Looks amazing!

Perfect. Fit was great. Exactly what I wanted. Beautiful color.

Love this. Beautiful color. Pockets have zippers. Hood for protection from rain and wind. Not bulky which I love. I've bought 4 of these in different colors.

Lightweight jacket but impressive at how warm it keeps you and an added bonus with a hood on days you get caught in the rain. Love this jacket so much, that I own 4 in different colors.
