Customer Reviews Columbia Arcadia™ II Jacket

Columbia is my go to brand, as it has survived my stint in Peace Corps, many hiking, camping and kayak trips. This jacket is waterproof and light, exactly what I wanted. Thank you Columbia!

Good for a light rainy day

I bought this for my daughter for her 20th birthday. As a student at a very wet Oregon University, she asked for a lightweight, water PROOF, jacket that could hold up to the crazy wet Oregon weather yet, be thin enough to stow away in her back pack. A few days after she received it, I called her to follow up. Her response: I'm wearing it right now and it's pouring! She was walking back from classes and rain was much heavier than expected. She said she was dry and LOVED the hood. It was roomy enough for her to wear a hoody sweatshirt and headphones underneath and still be comfortable. Thank you Columbia, for another great product!

Bought this for my daughter who LOVED it. Perfect fit and fair price.

I love this rain shell, but it is a little too warm to use in summer. I love it for running around the city, but it would probably be too sweaty to hike in.

I am very satisfied with my purchase .Made well and will keep me dry when needed .The fit is true to size.

The color was a bit darker than the picture. Nice full mesh lining and big zippered pockets on the sides. I was looking for a front double zipper so I had to return it.

Living in Florida, owning a rain jacket is a must. The cheap previous one I had made me sweat. Spending a little extra money on this one was worth it. It is so comfortable and keeps me cool and dry. I will be buying more in the future!

I purchased this jacket for the sole purpose of wearing out in dreary weather - it's perfect! The material is great and seems to be durable. It arrived on time, maybe even a day or two earlier than expected. My only complaint is that I ordered a size small (I'm a small person) and I wish I had gotten a medium to wear thicker clothes under.

This jacket is lightweight and keeps me dry when it rains. I am very satisfied with this product and love shopping at Columbia. I highly recommend this for anyone in need of a rain jacket it's definitely worth the price I paid. The pockets have zippers to keep objects like keys and wallets dry too! Only trouble I had is keeping the hood on when it rains because it's a little big for my head.

I bought this jacket for a trip up to Seattle where it rained A LOT. This jacket kept me nice and dry. It is a great top layer and wind breaker as well. A little short on the arms for me but I am fairly tall (5'10). Definitely would recommend!

My daughter has owned this jacket for one year. It's her go to jacket for most weather conditions. On her recommendation, I ordered myself 2 of these jackets. I was very pleased that they were on sale too! I wear a size 12 in women's clothing so I ordered the size large. It fits nicely with room for a sweater if needed. Very happy with my purchase and I do recommend it.

Really protects you!

I really needed a rain jacket and didn't have high expectations since it wasn't so expensive. The product is amazing and true to size, and you can still add layers underneath.

This jacket is so nice! It's perfect when the weather is not ver clod. I strongly recommend this jacket!

Columbia sports wear is my brand of choice and this year was time to ramp up with some new jackets. I was very pleased with my purchases the jackets are great for the fall weather. Great fit good quality a long lasting. Thank you again Columbia for providing such great products for my family year after year.

I wanted a travel rain jacket that was not too heavy, rainproof and a good neutral color to match anything i carried. With the hood and the omni tech as an added feature, this truly was a perfect choice. I got the stone which was the best color. I love my jacket, really really happy with my selection. I have had excellent experiences with Columbia in the past owning many winter coats and jackets. Again, a happy customer! Thanks!

I've worn this jacket twice in the rain now and it does it's job well! It's also just great for everyday wear. It's light weight and breathable, has nice outer pockets, and good sleeve length. I'm 5'7" and ordered an xl so I could wear over heavy fleece in colder weather. It fits great with room to move. Perfect! Would definitely recommend!

Love the rain coat, but it is a little thinner in material than I was hoping to get. Does the job.

This jacket is awesome. I absolutely love it!

I Love this jacket...it's lightweight, surprisingly warm and waterproof...I bought one for my Mom, daughter and son.

I loved the design and comfort of the jacket. It's very lightweight and waterproof and worked very well for the constantly changing weather where I was traveling to. I'll use this jacket a lot!

The Arcadia II is light-weight, well tailored and comes in the best colors (Night Watch is my favorite). For some reason, I tend to take a size up in Columbia garments (one size larger than I normally wear in other clothes). I don't care what the label says as long as the garment fits, and this jacket does. I'm actually looking forward to wearing it in a downpour and plan to bring it to Europe with me in a few weeks. Gives me a nice shape (not a boxy jacket) and has velcro cuffs and a roomy hood. It also packs into a pocket, so it needs very little room in a suitcase. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I bought this jacket as it started to get more rainy out. Much to my pleasure it was fully waterproof and has good air flow in the jacket as to not overheat. It is also a great shell for those who like to layer up. It is great quality and I cant wait to use it for winters to come.
