Customer Reviews Columbia Watertight™ II Jacket

Received my order in a very timely manner. Jacket itself is lightweight and breaths well. Truly holds water out well and even beads up in the outside and just falls off.

I purchased this raincoat for my son a few months ago. He absolutely loves it. Very nice quality jacket. True to the size and color.

I purchased a a jacket in the Rocket color. I have used it as a shell layer for wind and rain cover on many hikes and tours. PROS: - Waterproof Material: When it pours, water does not slowly seep through the material. It is truly waterproof. - Light Weight: Easy to pack, can tuck it all into its own pocket or hood, light build. - Sturdy: I have purchased raincoats in the past that have had their linings dry out and break up after a year. This jacket does not do that. Very sturdy build. - Good Hood: The hood design with the small brim is very effective. In very hard rain you have to keep your head down to keep everything out, but in general it is great. CONS: - Zipper Flap: This jacket features a Velcro zipper flap and normal zipper, as opposed to a waterproof zipper. I only had it leak in very serious rain storms, when I wasn't being careful enough about keeping it sealed. I have never had a problem with it in light or normal rain though. - Can Be Hot: As a function of being a water tight jacket, it does not breath well. I would say it does as well as it can at being light weight and not too hot on a rainy summers day, but I tend to find myself sweating when I have my heart rate up and I am wearing it. COMMENTS: As a head up I am very careful washing my jackets, and that may be why mine has lasted a long time. For the price and the color selection, this Jacket is great.

I am working as a mauntain guide in New Mexico, and during an exceptionally bad hail storm I was made aware of the fact that my previous rain gear (which was not Columbia) was not actually water proof, so I saw this and bought it. I have been using it frequently over the past week and it has been effective and comfortable in everything from light rain to hail storms. I am very happy with this product.

Gave this as a gift to my husband and he absolutely loves it, which is a challenging task! Lightweight for the warmer months but keeps him dry. He has stated several times that he wishes he had matching rain pants!

Excellent weight for rain protection. Quality product for the price. Highly recommend

Great jacket, I like the fit and I love the comfort. Keeps me dry without the stifling heat. Only thing I would change would be the velcro. When walking or moving arms, velcro near wrists can snag on velcro near main zipper. Minorly bothersome.

I work outside and jacket is exactly what I was looking for, not only does it fit great but repels water even on a heavy down pour. I would definitely recommend this jacket.

I love them and they look. I feel Very Sporty and comfortable. Wearing it to Europe next week. Let you know more when I test it in the rain.

I am very happy with the quality and function so far. I have yet to use the jacket in a heavy or constant rain. I am curious how a medium size jacket would have fit, I my be 'between sizes'.

If you are a xl order a xxl in the jacket. I went and try one on first before I ordered it. But the jacket is amazing!! I used it last for golf it was raining and the temp was 49. All I had on was a t shirt underneath and was warm and dry!! This jacket is better than the North Face one my wife has!

Overall I like this rain jacket. It has a good and functional design. There are two things I would like this jacket be altered a bit. First, the drawstring to adjust the waist hem should have two, one on each side. Your design of only one drawstring allows for and creates a bulge when you pull it in to fit your waist/hips correctly. Second, the front hood bill should be a little more prounced and sturdier to allow it to function more like a ball cap bill. Remington brand has such a design. Again, overall I like this rain jacket.

Very happy with the product and very satisfied with Zappos. Great to do business with and fast shipment.

Very light weight and comfortable. Had a week of rain so I had a chance to test it and it works great just like the reviews said.

I returned an older PVC rain jacket which could not be repaired, and I was issued a credit toward this jacket. I'm very happy with it's performance (we've had a LOT of rain!), but I wish it had button snap instead of velcro.

I really like the look of the bright color of this jacket. It has great feel and blocks wind and rain well. highly recommended1

Worked 3 out of 5 days in the rain at the NY Botanical Garden. Torrential downpours while transplanting trees. I never got wet. You might feel it's a bit thin for the temp, just layer up underneath which might make it snug. But the layering was not totally necessary. A big difference. Amazing!!

Very lightweight. Fits over work clothes, and keeps my husband totally dry while working outside.

Beautiful jacket, Love the color, very lightweight and I like the length of the sleeves. I would recommend this jacket. Just wish the main front zipper was a little more heavy duty like my other Columbia rain jacket.

Lightweight and surprisingly warm. Medium is a great fit for me - I'm 6' 1" and 155 lbs.

It was a pleasant coincidence that my Watertight II jacket arrived a couple of weeks ago on a day it was raining. I tried it on right away and liked the fit. Then, I "road tested" it, going for a 2-mile walk in a light rain with about a 20 MPH wind. The jacket was indeed watertight and felt quite comfortable. It is a nice lightweight jacket, I plan to take along for day hikes in the Sierras, as well use as a windbreaker for cooler evenings when handling BBQ duties. Great jacket!

This is 3rd rain jacket I've tried. The other 2 from 2 different vendors didn't actually keep the rain out. This one does... Thank you, Columbia.

Super quality plenty of pockets and a hood like projection that even keeps my glasses dry! This will be my go to raincoat for the rest of my days! Linden Winterberger. Raleigh, NC
