Customer Reviews Columbia Flash Forward™ Windbreaker

After a few washes and wears of my Black Jacket, the white Columbia logo peeled away. This is disappointing because this was 40 big ones. If I buy a jacket this price, I wouldn't want it to fall apart. This is cheaply made and doesn't break any wind. There is no blue accent on mine and it honestly resembles a garbage bag. AVOID IT

I bought this jacket because I had previously bought a windbreaker from Columbia that I was very satisfied with and I thought this would be of a similar quality; however, this jacket is extremely light and does not offer much protection from light breezes or wind in general.

This is definitely a wind breaker. Not a rain jacket. When receiving it I could see right away that it would not keep rain from seeping through over time. Very quickly it would not do well in the rain.

I ordered XS and I feel like its a little big on me. I always went to the store and bought jackets. I start ordering online recently, and yet I am satisfied with all the products that I ordered online. I really like the speed of the delivery. This particular product seems to be a little thinner than I expected. It is to wear during early fall or late summer.

Prodcuct is amazing and the color is really cute. I received medieval and white. It runs about a size big and the bottom does come with draw strings but they are hard to tie. Overall it does keep me dry and warm.

If you're buying this windbreaker in the hopes of keeping you warm this is not the product for you. The windbreaker is super dooper thin. It looks cute and fits as expected.

I didn't think this jacket was as thin as this. Looks are deceiving because this is thinner than paper

Even though the item was returned for running small on the size, it was obviously made of good quality and Im sure it would had functions as expected.

Thin and not water resistant

Honestly, I want to love this windbreaker. But I wore it out to a fairly windy site and the wind went right through it! Left me absolutely freezing! It is made of basically plastic. If youre going for a windbreaker, i'd go for something that actually does its job :( I feel bad that this doesnt work because it's honestly really cute and the color is adorable. But if youre looking for a windbreaker that actually stops the wind, it just doesn't perform... at all.

Very very thin material. Liked the colors, lightweight

XL fits like a large, extremely thin, keeps water and wind out but not warm at all definetly needs another jacket under it but its too small to fit another jacket under it. Love the style though.

I'm a huge fan of Columbia outerwear and this jacket was a complete let down. The material was flimsy and cheap- a combination of a trash bag and throw away poncho. The fit is very boxy.

I am disappointed in the quality of this Columbia windbreaker. It is so thin and flimsy.

My jacket came with a white draw string for the hood and waist. I wasn't a fan.

My first disappointing purchase. This is a replacement for the one I bought my daughter for Christmas. Now I have to pay to ship the damaged one back to Columbia while they decide if they can fix or replace it. In the meantime I purchased k this new one because my daughter wears this for work. The new one is black like the old one but the zipper on the new one is white? I ordered the exact same one! Go figure???

Thw jacket was way too little i took the tags off

Thin no lined jacket. Very disappointed that it was not water repellent at all. It was sprinkled outside and I was soaking wet. Do not recommend as rain jacket.

I am a HUGE fan of Columbia gear, I would say 85% of my outdoors attire is Columbia. However this rain jacket majorly let me down. I used it for the First time on a lightly rainy day in Iceland, with my down jacked underneath it. I got SOAKED. It leaked at basically all of the seams, the entirety of the arms, and a good portion of the lower back. I understand it is not a rain jacket, hence water resistance in the description, but it was a light sprinkle. I was soaked all the way through in maybe 20 minutes.

I know it's a windbreaker, but I just feel like it seems very cheap.

Incredibly thin it doesn't work.

Wore this on a rainy day and soaked right thru this water resistant and water repellent jacket. Not raining hard either but enough to soak thru. Really surprised and disappointed cause columbia jackets are pretty much all water resistant but not this one. Learned the hard way!!

I purchased this jacket thinking it was the same jacket that I saw in the store, because they had the same exact name. But to my surprise I get the jacket shipped to my house and it's not the one from the store, but a lower quality, less functional, and unappealing jacket.
