Customer Reviews Columbia Flash Forward™ Windbreaker

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.

It rains often year round here in The Boot. This lightweight coat is a solution for sticky, sweaty rain, but not a heavy downpour.

Got this jacket as a light weight rain jacket and it's perfect for drizzly summer day, the only problem is if it's a down pour it will soak thru, so if it's calling for bad storms maybe bring a umbrella with you. Otherwise it's a perfect light weight jacket

I needed a very lightweight windbreaker that w.ill easily go in a backpack on a day hike, or bike riding and this fits the bill. It is nice quality. My only beef is that it fits a little too tightly around the hips. There is a drawstring, so I think they should have been a bit more generous with the sizing for a women's jacket.

From a 5'2 128lbs. It's pretty big on me. The sleeves are wayyy to long. I'm going to return and hopefully the small works. Gorgeous color and very smooth fabric. Like it!

Highly recommended product

We really like this jacket as its light weight yet works great in the rain.

This little jacket is nice, serves it's purpose. The material is thin but repels rain as is supposed to.

This windbreaker is very lightweight. For individuals who are a cup size D and up you may want to order the next size up to prevent being snug across the chest.

Nice light weight rain repellent jacket. Nice color that goes with anything

This jackets does help as a windbreak but if the wind that's blowing is really cold put a hood underneath and you'll feel very warm. The material is great for not letting wind pass through!

I really like the windbreaker that I got it does exactly what it is supposed to do and it looks great !

Very thin windbreaker, good for summer showers or for the fall. Not a winter coat at all, way to thin but colors are very nice and for the price over all it's a nice jacket.

This jacket is a beautiful purple; however, although it fit, it runs small.

Love Columbia products. This is a nice jackets. It has no lining though so good for warm damp days I suppose.

My daughter loved it and is excited to wear it! The color is so pretty!!!

Bought this for my wife. Good quality rain and exercise jacket. Reasonable price. I reccomend

I got the Wild Cherry one. Color is amazing. Runs a little bit big for me that I am 5'4 skinny girl. I would have chose the XS since I feel Columbia jackets run a little bit bigger than usual. Besides that, I loved it!!!

It has been too cold to wear just a windbreaker, but when I tried it on I knew immediately that it was what I had been looking for! It is a little heavier than most windbreakers, and the silky texture is GREAT and the color really stands out! LOVE IT!! Can't wait for Spring...........

Good quality. Nice colors. Perfect size. Fits right.

The jacket is good, it does a good job of shielding you from wind, however, it is a little thin! I would recommend this product!
