Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Arcadia II™ Jacket

The jacket is lightweight and waterproof. Great overall fit! Love this jacket!

I had a jacket similar to this in black and have absolutely loved it. Wore it in Kauii on a Kodiak boat with sea spray and stayed dry and comfortable the whole time. I was so excited that the jacket came in this beautiful color. I have received so many compliments on this jacket already. It is light and breathable yet supremely water proof. I normally wear a large but I don't like my jackets to fit snug (and I have a large chest) which normally I would go up to an XL but I know these do run a bit small. I am very happy with the way it fits in this size.

Bought this for my Disney world trip in a couple of weeks. I've worn it already since living in Seattle, you will need this jacket. I really like the fact it does repel the rain, and the webbing inside keeps you dry and comfortable.

Nice light jacket, perfect for spring

Nice jacket, wanted something light weight Nd this is perfect. I had to order a 2x though to get the right fit and I normally would wear an XL or 1x in other brands, so runs a bit small.

Great Jacket. Light weight. Runs just a tad small.

I needed a good lightweight rain jacket and I love this it fits a little tight in the arm pit area but other than that I love would love to get another one!!

This jacket is absolutely perfect for rain in warmer months. I bought the jacket for a summer trip to Seattle. I needed a jacket that would keep the rain from keeping me indoors, while also being breathable and light weight. The jacket is very light and will easily fold and fit into a bag or pack without taking up too much room. Once again, Columbia has crafted a quality product to help me get out and enjoy life!

I'm so glad I read the reviews of others, I ordered a size up because the comments mentioned the sleeves were tight. The larger size is roomy in the body, but adequate in the sleeve. Love the bright pink color for gray rainy days.

Perfect jacket to roll up and put in a backpack. Takes up no space at all. Does a great job of blocking gusty winds and light rain. Even at Logans Pass in Glacier National Park! Great buy.

I purchased this coat at the end of March because a friend said some weather guru said it was supposed to rain every day in April. As with most weather people, he was wrong. But I HAVE worn my new coat a few times & LOVE it! Perhaps the best deal of all is the box it came in. My cat LOVES it!

Love this jacket. Good length, great fit, and fantastic color.

Got this jacket to have for a trip. Perfect for travel, light weight but great for cool nights or wind and rain. Doesn't take up a lot of room in suitcase. I always get next size up from what I usually wear because Columbia runs small.

I looked all over for a waterproof jacket in a ladies extended size. None of the sporting goods stores near me had any.. some of the Department stores had water resistant but since all previous Alaska travelers have told me I needed waterproof I wanted to be safe and not sorry. I was able to try on a xl at one of the stores and it was a little too tight so I was hoping the 1x would work and I would be able to layer under it. It is perfect and the look is very stylish. I am very pleasantly pleased.

I was in need of a durable raincoat for the crazy winter weather in NYC this year. This jacket came right on time. Its lightweight and breathable and it helps for everyday wear and casual wear.

Although my last rain jacket was also a Columbia jacket (I can't recall the style name though), the Arcadia II is much better. First off, its probably three inches longer which is ideal for a rain jacket. Secondly, the Arcadia II seems much more breathable for some reason. Most rain jackets have a tendency to make me very warm, but I don't think this one did. It was very comfortable and kept me dry in a decent rain. Definitely worth a look...and even better that its on sale!

I ordered this rain jacket in 3x. I have never seen such a stylish and functional jacket in my size! The Airstream color is super flattering with the light gray inserts. The sleeves are not too long and the jacket is slightly fitted, but is not too tight or too baggy. The quality zipper, velcro flaps and cuffs, and stand up hood are useful features. The fabric is waterproof, but breathable. Overall, I am pleased with the "performance" features. It is easy-to-pack lightweight rain protection that is great for travelers.

The style and fit of this jacket is very nice; it's hard to find cute rain jackets in a size 1X.

Good quality

Purchased this as a gift, they loved the color and fit.

Absolutely love this jacket. Great fit and choice of colors. I ordered a size up to allow for sweater or sweatshirt. Excellent quality, material, I cant say enough good about it

Loved the color and quality of material. It was designed very well. Fit was good. My only comment is the Velcro near zipper that help keep the zipper enclosure water and wind resistant was a no go because of the teeth of Velcro does stick to anything ( not the jacket material) that it comes in contact with.

I got this rain jacket after trying several others and am happy. Order plusx1 looking for an oversized fit to layer on top of heavier items for hikes in addition to everyday wear. Seems comfortable and breathable.

I needed a new rain jacket for our fishing trips and this one fits the bill. While I haven't had a chance to wear it yet, it feels great on. Columbia quality, for sure.

This is a very nice rain jacket. I just hiked for an hour and a half in the rain and it kept the rain out well! I got my regular size - it couldn't be any smaller. Love the bright blue color. Sleeves were long enough.
