Customer Reviews Columbia Arcadia II™ Jacket

The coat did not meet expectations Although my employees & I only wear Columbia This jacket was too thin for rain weather in the NJ

Most things I order are a size large, but not Columbia. I really needed an extra large in this. Too tight in the shoulders & the hips. Sadly I am sending back but still will not reorder. The Velcro on the front flap makes the zipper hard to use. The zipper seems very stiff & hard to zip period. I like the light weight of the jacket for travel. I loved the color! I picked up another style Columbia rain jacket in a store in an extra large without the front Velcro flap.

I wanted to love this, after a week of online searches for a good raincoat to take to Iceland. When it arrived, I was very disappointed to find that it was a thin nylon-type material...not warm at all. Not only that, but the mesh liner stuck to my fleece top and it was impossible to even get my arm into the sleeve. Beyond that, it was far too snug compared with other brand's items in the same size. I've decided to return it, and will probably waterproof a jacket I already own when I go back to Iceland.

I was very disappointed with all the Columbia Items I ordered. I have to send 7 thing back. I ordered a size bigger because of the reviews and they are all still to small... Items are cut very small. Its a shame....

Cheap, cheesy material that crinkles when you move.

No, just no. Stiff, cheesy material that crinkles when you move.

I bought this for my trip to Iceland since I was going to be hiking in the rain and needed a waterproof jacket. This jacket didn't last me a full hour of hiking before all the water starting to seep through the jacket. My phone which was in my fully-zipped up pocket got wet and my jacket that I layered under also got wet. Good thing my bottom layer was water-resistant otherwise I would've been soaked! Anyways, I wanted to love this jacket cause it's cute and I loved the color but it was not waterproof at all. Just water-resistant.

What good is the item if the company will not take care of their customer? The item was lost by the shipping company (GLS Parcel). Granted that it's not Columbia's fault, but Columbia took soooo long to take any action. The jacket was finally received 11 days later than promised.

The pink is not a soft punk. It is very peachy and oddly non-pastel in a way that just reminds me of a prosthetic. It is hideous - almost like a giant band aid, both in terms of color and feel.

Just wore for first time and came in dripping wet under the jacket. So disappointed.

Was nit as pictured. Jacket is ALL purple no dark collar inside. Very disappointed

Disappointed with the use of Velcro and it does not feel comfortable

A couple of years ago I bought a Columbia Omnitech waterproof jacket for rainy day runs. Today I aborted yet another run because after less than five minutes in the rain I was soaked to the skin, with pieces of the jacket lining stuck to my bare arms. They say the definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and hope for different results. I have been doing this every rainy day since I bought the cursed jacket, to the same effect. I would literally stay drier running in a wool cardigan. I literally haven't been this disappointed in a product - nor has the product delivered less on its promise - since I was six years old and tried ordering things out of the back of comic books. That is all. I had to unload. The product sucks. I'm finally going to toss it in the trash today - should've done that the first time I wore it.

Was not happy the jacket is very thin the color is not quite as pictured. Isn't going to last very long.

I would love to be able to tell you this is a great coat, but I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I ordered it 1/9/19 and today is 1/25/19.

The coats interior is like a fishnet material, its not comfortable and feels very cheaply made. It runs small, i ordered a size up so i could layer and it was a little tight for me. I was very disappointed, the winter coat i ordered was much higher quality so i expected more

I bought this specifically to take to Boston to watch the marathon as they were calling for rain. It didn't take long at all for me to notice that the inner netting and my possessions in my pockets were wet. Enough rain soaked through the back that three other layers underneath the jacket and my entire back were wet. We moved in & out of the rain so I was only outside for a total of 2-2.5 hours. Very disappointed in how this held up, would return if I could.

Very pretty color and good quality. I enjoyed taking it out of the package. However, when I zipped it up, it was uncomfortably tight across my chest - and I was wearing only a t-shirt. It looked ridiculous - and I would generally be wearing something thicker underneath. The hips and waist were fine - the jacket needed a few more inches around the chest area.

Jacket was terribly thin the material was not good very unhappy plus the size seemed like it was wrong

The color is cute and the jacket fits well BESIDES THE HOOD. This hood will only fit if you have a giraffe neck. There isn't no way to change the way this hood fits. It will not stay on which defeats the purpose of a rain jacket if your head is getting wet.

Have a Columbia med. that fits perfectly. Wanted a bigger size to go over heavy fleeces or several heavy sweaters. Bought a large. Fits smaller than the medium. Can't even get a thin fleece under it. Now have to pay return shipping. Extremely unhappy.

Let me just start by saying I loved this rain jacket. However after just one wash, following the directions on the label, the inner hood of my jacket came completely unstitched at the seams. It is obvious that the fabric was stitched along the edge of the fabric so it came unraveled/unstitched in the wash. Will not buy another.

I was expecting a little more from this jacket. The material is almost paper-thin making it unsuitable for cool days. I am returning this item and getting a thicker replacement.

Looks and feels thin. Not a flattering material.
