Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Arcadia II™ Jacket

This jacket has been a wonderful spring jacket! I work in the field mostly and rain protection is a must when traveling from home to home!

The color was right on and it fit perfectly. I have worn it a couple of times and love it.

I got the yellow one and the color is so bright! 100% water resistant, not a single drop on me. Love it love it love it

I am very happy with my purchase! So much so I ordered something similar in mens for my husband and Adult son. I tried it on when it arrived and was glad I sized up one so I can wear another layer underneath if needed. It is a classic fit which I like so not too fitted in the midsection. I even tossed a little water on it to make sure it would bead up and not soak through. Would recommend to others!

I have been looking for a rain coat just like this for awhile. Glad to see that Columbia had plus size. I have worn jacket twice. I wasn't hot or cold the material isn't thick. I live in south need a light rain jacket. I'm purchased the exact jacket for men because my husband wanted because I'm so pleased with it.

I like that this raincoat is lightweight. Perfect for early fall or late spring when you don't want a heavy raincoat.

This is the perfect raincoat to stray dry while working at the rescue in the outdoor kennels on a rainy day. On cool days it keeps you warm but not sweltering on the warm days. The fabric is a bit noisy but I'm hoping with time and wear it will soften up some.

I am 5'10", plus size. I like how the length covers well below my waist line. This is a nice light weight jacket for Spring. Layered a sweatshirt underneath for a 40 degree day and was still very warm.

This Arcadia II will be perfect for travel as it folds neatly into a luggage side pocket. I like the feel of it also, as it is not stiff and noisy. I bought a larger size so it will fit over a warm layer, if needed.

Selected this rain jacket over several others because it is light weight and easy to pack in my bag for work. I walk a lot during the day and this jacket does a great job of keeping me dry and not sticking to my clothing with the inner liner. I also love the fact that the color out lasts some of its competitors, so it looks new even after several years of use.

Repels water great for me working outside in the rain. I love the hood. I expected it to be thicker but I just ordered a zip front fleece to go underneath when the weather is cooler.

I normally wear a XL but after looking at the size chart I decided to order a 1X due to the bust measurements. The 1X does run big in the chest but I would rather it be a little big than to little. With that said I would highly recommend ordering this jacket. I wore it out in rain for over 2 hours and stayed completely dry where it was covering me.

Sheds rain as well as providing warmth. I went up a size so I can layer underneath. Colors are great- works with a staple black pant.

I work outside everyday, and I love this rain jacket. It is very light, breathable a great fit. I have had other so called rain jackets, but they have not kept me dry over a long period time outside like this rain jacket does. Like I mention earlier it is very breathable, meaning I don't sweat to death while wearing it. It is light, doesn't weigh me down when it is wet. I stay dry while working. I would definitely recommend this rain jacket to anyone.

I bought this coat for my daughter as a gift and she absolutely loved it. We've had spring like days the last few days and she wore it and got tons of compliments on it.

I love my new jacket. It is slightly more fitted than my last Columbia jacket so it doesn't look as boxy. I know it will last as long!

I am hard to fit in zip up jackets sometimes due to being pear shaped. This one fits. I haven't really worn it yet but I sure like it so far

I bought a raincoat last year and the first time I wore it in the rain I got soaked! That raincoat was not a Columbia brand and I should have known better! A raincoat that's not waterproof is not a raincoat! So, needless to say, I was on the search for a "waterproof " jacket that was lightweight and fashionable. If that's what you want then this Columbia Arcadia II jacket is for you! It's true to size, very comfy and waterproof!

It was exactly what I wanted in a spring jacket.

It is almost impossible to find plus size anything nowadays, especially in the essentials. Columbia has the best fleece zip ups too that also fit me great. So I wanted to try a different style. I needed a raincoat because TN can get pretty wet but also not very cold so this lightweight jacket is perfect. Ive had it a few months now and I am still in love with it. Good job Columbia!!

Fit is perfect, I am a 3X and there is room to layer but not too much. The two-tone is very pretty (I bought the "Twighlight and Dusty Iris"). All the zippers and synchs work well...if you are familiar with Columbia then you won't be surprised that this little jacket does all it is claimed to do. There is no tab or specific pocket to fold it into, just pick one and start stuffing, It packs down easily for travel.

I purchased this jacket for international travel knowing that I would encounter rainy days and it was absolutely perfect. The color was beautiful and not boring, the inside mesh was comfortable and soft but didn't make me hot, it repelled water SO WELL and it folded up small to fit back in my pack. I'll be getting plenty of use out of this jacket this winter in the PNW!

Thid jacket is probably my favorite go to jacket for summer and fall here in the PNW. In winter, I have it layered with my columbia fleece zip up, and this combination works perfectly for most weather here in the winter. I bought it because I was replacing one I bought a year ago. Nothing was structurally wrong with the jacket. It was more about a blur pen exploded in the dryer and the jacket I had was 2 different shades of peachy-salmon. I tried everything to get the pen out but had no luck. I bought the berry colored one this time and still love it just as much!!

I was the only one in the family without a Columbia rain jacket! We go camping often and always seem to bring the rain with us. This has worked wonderfully! Able to wear alone on warmer days or with layers underneath if cooler!

I bought this coat for all the rainy fall weather we're having, and I need to walk the dog. It's been perfect. Keeps me dry and has just enough warmth for fall. I returned the 2x and got a 3x because I wanted to be able to layer heavy under. I normally by a 22W. Highly recommend
