Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Arcadia II™ Jacket

This item came fast and was just what I wanted. It looks good and fits true to size. Will be back for Christmas.

Because of my build I bought this in a size bigger than I normally wear in clothes. I have broad shoulders , and am large on top and I always find coats confining. I bought this in a 1X and it's perfect. It zips up easily, has mesh on the inside and fits great. I won't sweat in this like I would in other jackets. The sleeves are also the perfect length. I wish it was cheaper but I will wear it enough to get my money's worth, I'm sure. It weighs nothing and would be perfect for throwing in the car, or draped over a bag when not being worn. The pockets are in the right spot and functional. Worth the money!

This is a lightweight, well made jacket. It is perfect for the cooler days of fall and spring when a rain shower can be unpredictable. Very comfortable, ease of movement and the COLOR is fabulous! You won't regret this jacket. I keep mine in the car, just in case!

Actually giving this review while still on vacation in Alaska! This jacket worked so well that I had to take the time. While on a glacier cruise it protected me from wind and cold even up on the open top deck! Plenty of room for layers underneath. Jacket is thoughtfully made with velcro and little pulls in places exactly where you'll use them. Vibrant color. My best vacation purchase by far. Don't hesitate. Fits to size with room for a fleece underneath.

This jacket is fantastic. It's the perfect windbreaker and rain jacket. Roomy enough to layer over a fleece and lightweight enough to throw in a bag just in case. My fave feature is the mesh lining...no more sticking to sleeves on humid rainy days! Once again, Columbia knocks it out of the park.

I'm really happy with the quality and fit of this jacket. I have a plus sized frame, and this fit well. It hasn't rained yet, but I have Columbia rain jackets for my kids and I know that this will hold up fine. I am pleased with overall customer service and shipping as welll. I recommend.

Love the color, fit, efficiency and cost effectiveness.

I have been looking for a nice golden yellow rain jacket for a while and my search is over! I bought the "raw honey" color and its beautiful! I love it so much! The cut of the jacket is excellent for a plus size body, or really any size body (IMO)! I love the mesh lining, it helps cut down on the clingy/stickiness that some rain jackets can have. I cant wait to wear it this rainy season!!

Bought this rain jacket for my wife. She is short which means the sleeves are long in her. The velcro needs to be longer so she can tighten the sleeves so they don't fall below her wrists. Otherwise a great rain jacket.

This jacket fits great and is comfortable, but the best part is that it works great. I was caught in a sudden storm while wearing it and although my legs got soaked, everything covered by the jacket was totally dry. I would definitely recommend.

Coat is very nice fit and quality - fabric is slightly stiff but breathable- glad I purchased

Exactly what I was looking for. Lightweight & roomy rain jacket.

I purchased this jacket for a trip to Norway, knowing there was a chance of rain every day. Arrived in Oslo to pouring rain, and stayed dry on the walk to the hotel. Also great in the rain and wind on the fjord boat. I carried it in my backpack everyday. Zippered pockets held my phone and passes. I would like an interior pocket.

I bought this jacket to replace the one I lost. It's great! I love the lightweight feel. It's exactly what I wanted!

Columbia jacket size fits perfect. The quality of the jacket is comfortable.

Jacket is light weight, but breathable. The bright color is easy to see in the rain.

I live in South Florida. We have daily afternoon thunder storms and lots of heat. This jacket keeps me dry and I do not get overheated. I have only had the jacket for a week and I have used it every single day since. I am able to run my errands without getting soaked, well, except for my feet! LOL!

I got this jacket in Wine Berry, size 3x. The fit is perfect. I love the length and color. It's going to be perfect for fall and spring showers. It's lightweight so I'm not sure if I will just wear layers to stay warm in the winter or look for another, warmer jacket.

This jacket is great! I'm from Florida where it rains almost everyday in the summer, and this jacket definitely comes in handy! It functions as expected and protects well from the rain. Fits true to size and is good quality.

Great jacket .. roomy enough to fit a sweater underneath. Hood size is perfect

My Arcadia II jacket is what I hoped it would be; a light weight, waterproof jacket to act as a protective outer skin when coupled with a layer of other clothing. The size is very true. When ordering, I did hope it would run slightly large to accommodate more roominess with a few layers of clothing.

I bought this and several other items for an upcoming trip to the Pacific Northwest. This jacket is lightweight yet waterproof enough to withstand heavy rain. Runs true to size. Perfect for layering in the labile environment I'm hiking in. Excellent price and quality. Exactly what I always expect from Columbia.

Thanks, Columbia, for making a functional and stylish raincoat in plus sizes! This is a great coat for walking dogs in stormy weather. The coat is long enough to keep me dry and the hood provides enough coverage without falling down over my face. The Velcro on the sleeves is useful. The coat is breathable and comfortable. Good pockets. Nice color selection. Overall a very functional coat at a reasonable price. Thanks!

This is my second Columbia jacket. I love the styling: front placket covering zipper, high collar, hood, adjustable cuffs, adjustable bottom hem, seaming that shapes, color selection, lightweight, rain and wind protection, machine wash.

I am very happy with the quality of this jacket. The seams are sealed, there are pockets and a nice hood, and the sleeves are plenty long. It will fold up to fit inside a small space, perfect for a backpack pocket.
