Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Arcadia II™ Jacket

I have been looking for plus size rain jacket for an upcoming vacation and was having no luck until I found this jacket! It fits just right and packs into its own pocket -- perfect for travelling! Plus the price was excellent and free shipping! Also love the bright geranium color.

I bought this for my daughter. She loves that it is light weight and truly water proof!

This rain coat is comfortable to wear and easy to clean. Quality construction makes it a joy to wear. In my climate it's a year around must have.

I am tall, and usually have trouble getting jackets to have long enough sleeves. This jacket is perfect. It is so comfortable. It is fun to wear to the dog park, or polished enough to wear on a casual night on the town!

I am in love with this rain jacket! It fits perfectly and does the job, light weight and durable. I love it!

I have only worn this once so far, but it is by far the nicest raincoat I have had in a long time. I wish there were a cell phone pocket in the chest area, inside or out. I love that it is rain proof, and not rain resistant. Keep up the good work. I will definitely be buying more of your quality products.

It is a nice cheerful color for drab rainy days. I ordered a large which fit fine except not quite roomy enough for comfort over a sweater which I wanted. I haven't been in heavy downpours but it is very comfortable for in and out of car and stores in the rain. When the 1X went on sale I decided to try it.

Got this jacket for my daughter fit is perfect she has been asking for rain jacket something light that repels rain..here it is perfect!

a little small in the arms but I love it anyway

I was little worried after reading reviews about being small but I ordered my normal size and fits great. It is on lightweight side so if you were to wear heavy sweater under you might size up. I like the lightweight perfect not hot like my other rain jacket.

This jacket did just exactly what the description said! I purchased it for a trip to Ireland. It's lightweight, and easy to toss into a day pack so you're prepared for all of your adventures. It's breathable -- offers great ventilation. I used it with layers and it was perfect for the weather there in the 50's. I also appreciated the Velcro closings over the wrists -- so I could tighten or loosen them. The hood is perfect in the rain. Loved the pockets. The fit was generous enough for me to wear layers underneath.

I was influenced by the review written by a fellow size 18 lady who found 2x to be the perfect size for this jacket. I'd never bought 2x in my life! But she was dead on. Thank you, ma'am! I am happily walking my dog these days in autumn Wisconsin rain showers whilst clad in my perfectly-fitting bright red (so I'm more visible to traffic) Columbia Arcadia II jacket. It is truly a wonderful jacket!

I purchased this jacket in a 2X, it is a little large for me. I am naturally a 1X but decided to go a size up for comfort and layers. I would recommend this jacket for early fall or light rain.

This rain jacket was even better than I expected but exactly what I hoped for. The size is just right, the color is so pretty and bright (perfect for a dreary, rainy day :). The quality is pure Columbia. Love it!

Given as a gift. Recipient loved color and how it fit. Venting helps keep from getting too hot. Excellent waterproofing keeps wearer dry. Bought 1 size larger so could be worn with sweatshirts, sweaters into the fall.

I bought this as a lightweight spring/summer rain jacket to throw in the car or cram into a bag for traveling and it's been great. The jacket fits true to size, is so well made, comfy and it breathes. It's great for traveling as it takes up very little packing space.

I spend a lot of time outdoors with my job and like to know that I am prepared for the changing weather conditions in my area. I can wear this jacket both indoors and out and feel comfortable. It's light and has roomy pockets since I carry a lot of things around with me during my workday. I'm set for rain and wind yet comfortable in the sun. I have received numerous compliments about the jacket from co-workers and the price can't be beat for the quality of this jacket.

Definitely buy one size larger to get a comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear something warm underneath. I prefer my jackets to be roomy so I bought a size up. The jacket is structurally sound, the color is true to what's seen online and I'm confident that it will keep me dry on those very wet days.

Quality is excellect. Size seemed as expected with one exception. Sleeves in shoulder/underarm area are a little tight, as it would be hard to wear a sweatshirt under the jacket.

I am so excited I ordered this jacket! It is a 3X and fits perfect. I love the White and Grey. Buy one you will not regret it!!

I bought this jacket for my wife and she loved it. She loved the quality and fit. She had been searching for the perfect jacket for ages. Finally she has it.

I absolutely love it. It fits great and looks really sharp. Product arrived in a super convenient fashion and I am very satisfied.

I am so glad I bought this jacket.

I bought this as outerwear for over-top layers on a 2 week trek over China. It performed perfectly. It was the right weight, waterproof and breathable as advertised. I wasn't sure I would like the non-detachable hood but it never bothered me and was nice to have in a mist or drizzle.

Love the H2O and wind protection. Wish the arms were not so tight. I will not be able to wear a fleece underneath when it is cold and wet.
