Customer Reviews Columbia Arcadia II™ Jacket

Super lightweight which is what I was after. I like that's is longer but I wish it had another 2 inches of length. I also wish it had a draw string around the waist although much less important. It fits well and I can wear a hoodie under it. I ordered medium and I'm usually a medium to large with looser fits. Love the color!

I was looking for a jacket with pitzips but unfortunately this doesn't have them. I should have read the description more thoroughly - thanks for the easy return Zappos!

Excellent product and color selection. Sizing runs small.

This a a pretty and functional raincoat. However, it tends to run big. The sizes at the outlets are different from the sizes on line.

Really like the raincoat...very light weight and can roll into a small ball for travel. The arms definitely run long and large as I have Lurch arms and the sleeves fall past my wrist.

Great price for a good quality rain jacket. I used to have a North Face. After a few years, it ended up falling apart so I needed a replacement, but didn't want to shell out too much money. I do miss the armpit zippers though!

Hood is unexpectedly small, will not be useful. Thin and lightweight. I have not worn in rain, so cannot comment on waterproof quality. I ordered size Large and which is my typical size, room for layers to be worn. Weight 165-170lbs. Height 5ft 6

I really like the jacket and the fact that it folds up into its own pocket. I just threw it in my purse and didn't have to worry. Definitely keeps me dry even in heavy rain. The jacket fits true to size. I do wish it might be a tad bigger (not a full size bigger) so I can fit another layer underneath a little more comfortably. I deliberately got a thin, light rain jacket since my climate usually isn't super cold when it rains but sometimes you need another layer and while my columbia fleece fits underneath, it's a little snugger than I'd prefer.

Main zipper down the middle sometimes catches the flaps around it. Don't need the velcro tabs running down the center zipper. But, other than that, this Jacket is appropriate for cool, windy and rainy days in HI.

Very light rain coat. I like the zipper and velcro patches in the front. Great fit but not meant for very cold weather.

I was nervous when purchasing, because the sizing chart said one thing, but all of the reviews were saying that it runs true to size... I usually wear a size medium, but mine just came in and it is way to small. I would have to size up to probably an XL. If you are a more curvy woman, make sure to absolutely size up. This jacket fit my mid torso/mid section no problem, but did not make it around my hips whatsoever.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this jacket. I haven't tested it out in the rain, but so far it is nice. One thing I noticed is that the material does make noise when you walk, but I think that's typical with every rain jacket. Another thing I'll mention is that the color way I ordered looks different in person. I ordered the Aura/Marionberry option, however it is much more pink in person. I don't mind that the pink is more saturated, I was just expecting a much lighter/more muted color. I still like it and will still wear it!

I bought this for boating, camping, hiking and travel. It's very lightweight and folds up compactly. It tends to pull back at the shoulders a little so the front closure hits my chin but otherwise it was exactly what I was looking for.

Nice rain jacket. I feel it runs a size smaller than previous purchased jackets of other brands. Color is a medium lavender.

I purchase this lightweight packable jacket because the last one I bought lasted 20 years. My older jacket had the hood roll into the collar which I would have preferred, but you can not miss with a quality product.

This jacket is well made and easy to pack. The color (mango) is very different than pictured. It's more like Kraft macaroni and cheese than a yellow color.

The jacket is nicer that most as it is not crunchy or noisy. I like it better also that it doesn't have velcro cuffs that always seem to get in the way. It does seem to run a bit big and that is the reason for only 4 stars. The hot pink color is nice and they had fast shipping.

The color is definitely more traffic cone orange rather than yellow/orange. I am 5'7 and a true medium. I ordered a medium and it fits great, but I would size up if you want to fit layers underneath. I appreciate the drawstring in the hood to make it stay on my head! Got stuck in a downpour in the Great Smokys and the jacket kept me dry!

Great jacket, great feel, but could use a couple of extra pockets (1 exterior chest pocket on the left & 1 interior chest pocket on the right)

I really like this jacket. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't love the secondary Velcro along the zipper. In my experience, Velcro becomes ineffective kind of easily.

Ordered a petite small and would have kept this jacket as it was a perfect fit except for the sleeves which came down below my fingers. Am 4'11" and weigh 100.

Great jacket, very comfy! The jacket is a bit longer and did not fit over my butt, but I just pull it up a bit at the bottom and it works great.

I usually wear a medium but I bought a Large at the suggestion from the previous reviews. I think it's a bit big but will do. I figure when I put something heavier than a T-shirt on it will work.

Jacket is a good fit and a nice weight. I wish the zipper worked both from the top and bottom.

It runs a bit small but if I had purchased the next size up, it would have been way too big. Just a bit more snug than I prefer. Nice jacket and beautiful color.
