Customer Reviews Columbia Flash Forward™ Windbreaker

This is a great jacket! My sister and I both ordered the color "candy mint" and love them. I ordered a large because I was scared a medium would be too small to fit my large bust (36DD in Victoria's Secret to give you an idea). Needless to say I made the right decision getting the large! It still has just the right amount of extra room I was looking for. All the reviews said the jacket was extremely light weight and they were right! I wish it was a tad bit more thick but otherwise it's a stunning jacket.

I like this jacket. I've been having trouble finding a jacket that the sleeves were not way too long, but this one is just right. My arms are normal length for my size, so I don't know why things are being made with extra long sleeves. I ordered a size large to wear over sweaters and bulky tops, and it's just right. Anyway, this is a very nice light weight jacket and I will wear it a lot if we ever get our normal rainy climate back here in the PNW.

I absolutely love this jacket. It is very light weight and the colors are better than the pics. I've gotten ton of complements on this jacket.

This windbreaker is just what I wanted, it's lightweight, fits great and has some awesome colors. Not to mention at a great price! I got a size Large because several reviews said it runs small, and I also plan on layering with it so if that's what you plan on doing, I suggest sizing up. As for the material, it's a windbreaker, it is supposed to be light and the material is supposed to be thin so no surprises there.

This jacket was an exact fit, fits thin layers underneath, and is incredibly light weight. If I didn't already own it, I'd buy it again.

Absolutely wonderful windbreaker. At first it seems thin and you wonder how it will protect, but it blocks the wind without making it feel like you are wearing a plastic bag. All jackets have to let some air through, and this one is no different. It lets just enough air in to keep you comfortable. I will definitely be using this at night while camping! Perfect light layer!

This is the perfect wind breaker

The feel of this coat is amazing. I was expecting a bulky windbreaker fabric and this coat feels like a very lightweight silk/satin! Love the colors.

It's a very comfortable sweater it looks good when you wear it I would buy another one

This jacket is perfect for spring and cool summer nights. It's a very thin jacket but it does retain some heat. It Is also nice for the rain. The only thing that might throw you off is the color. The dark blue is not a true blue. It is indigo, almost purple but it didn't bother me because I like purple!

It is easy for me to wear lightly It is good to sports to everyday wear

It fits a lil big but its very thing so it's great if u wanted to ear a long sleeve shirt

I was looking for a light summer/spring/fall jacket and this jacket is perfect. I'll mostly be wearing during the summer later in the evening when it gets cool. I am 5'1" 120 lbs and the small fits perfectly. It is not too tight in small like some of columbia's other jackets. It has a really nice taper at the waist. I could fit a very light fleece underneath if i wished. The coat is long enough i am sure for the taller folks. It comes about 7"-8" below my waist. The Foxglove color is beautiful! I just love it thanks Columbia for making such wonderful products!# We are not built like men and do not wish to have our clothes styled like men's.#THANKS. Carol

Love this windbreaker, fit is perfect but I would have loved it more if there was a liner underneath.

My daughter likes it. Sizes run a lil small but it fits.

I like the jacketI have two others just like it. My only problem is that this one was ordered and I can't get the fold creases out. It would definitely be 5 stars if I could get creases out.

The fabric is a lightly coated but supple and lightweight. Styling is simple and basic but the two tone color adds a bit of interest. I got it in Dark Seas/Canyon Blue and the color is just as shown on the website. It has a flattering slightly contoured fit, a generous length (comes to about crotch level on my 5'5" frame), and an inverted pleat in the upper back. Didn't really want a hood but it may useful sometime. I'm happy with my purchase.

Wind breaker only thing it is. Wish it had a little liner. I guess I should have read the description a little more. But will be good for the golf bag

If you have a larger chest this will fit tight, you may want to go up a size.

I bought these as Christmas gifts and the quality is great. I feel they run on the small side! Hopefully they'll fit !!

I ordered this jacket specifically to wear when headed into and out of the gym. I wanted a thin jacket with no lining, able to get wet and packable. This jacket is very basic but checked all those boxes for me. I like the elastic at the cuffs and the drawstring at the bottom hem. This jacket is true to Columbia sizing in my opinion (meaning small compared to other brands-in almost all brands I buy a M but in Columbia I buy a L). I got the black and white option and the white is very see through but does not bother me as it is only ever over gym tank tops for me. The cut and two tone color is very flattering. The only thing I really dislike about the jacket is the mesh pockets-you cannot put keys in there or other things that could tare it. So the pockets are not as useful as they could be.

Expected something thicker, nit just a waterproof layer.

Too big and thin fabric which is ideal for spring but not for autum.

Very comfortable and lightweight. Appreciated the fast shipping. Love how the product fits and it really works. Definitely a purchase that was worth it.

I love the colors this jacket came in. It Is really lightweight.
