Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Flash Forward™ Windbreaker

runs true to size....very thin...won't give any warmth...has no lining....but good for warm rainy day

This is a good jacket but extremely thin and light weight. Can fold up smaller than a soda can.

This jacket was great! the color was as it looked online! the purple and the grey looked amazing together! the light weight jacket warmed me up very fast!

I was very surprised how light weight the coat is. It is very functional for everyday use. Not to hot, not to cold, just right for spring. I was very disappointed how easily the coat snaged on something and now have 2 small holes near the bottom heam. Just remember to be mindful of what your doing wearing this coat, it is not a "work" coat, more for "show". The sizing is very good and true to fit. I like to wear 2X for the extra room with my regular clothes and this coat fits the same. I can easily wear a sweater or sweatshirt and the fit is still comfortable. Overall, I love Columbia products!

I measured myself but decided against the size Columbia suggested which was a 2x. I purchased a 1x instead. I normally wear a 16/18. My measurements are 44, 40, 48 & I'm 5'3". Sleeves fit perfect and length is great. Covers the bum and fits perfectly into my bag. This coat is very light so if you want to wear it in the fall I recommend long sleeves. Love the colors too. Very cute. I may end up getting more colors.

This product has really good features, very lightweight and comfortable. Just what I was looking for. Great purchase

I wish I had gotten my true size, as I sized up and it looks a little bit too big on me. Either way, I love it!

I purchased the flash forward windbreaker for my daughter for Christmas she loves it and wears it all the time. My only complaint and reason for not putting 5 stars Is it is really thin and could've been a little larger but no reason to actually return it. I would recommend it but it's definitely a spring windbreaker. I do wish it was thicker. I have a much less expensive one that's thicker than this. But Overall my teenager is the one who wears it and aside from wanting it a little bigger but she is completely satisfied.

I love the color of the jacket but I could've gotten a 2x but overall this is a nice jacket. Now I have to order 2 for my kids!

I was very happy to finally find a women's windbreaker in a 3X. Can't find in stores. Love the color. Only complaint is that the mesh lining doesn't run inside the upper body of the jacket.

Loved this jacket, unfortunately seems to run quite small. I ordered this and another jacket together in the same size. This was 1-2 sizes smaller than the other & wouldn't even zip over my chest (granted I do have a large bust size). Very cute but order up if you are well endowed.

I was looking for a lightweight jacket for a hike in case it drizzled and this is perfect.

I ordered this windbreaker and saw that it was water repellant and could be used in light rains. Thankfully, I wore it at home before taking it on my BWCA trip. While I love its fit and style, it wasn't water repellent at all. I wore it outside in a light rain for 5-10 minutes and my skin and clothes were wet when I came back in. It does protect from wind, at least in what I've seen so far. I really wish it was at least a little water resistant.

a little teeny tiny bit too snug for me , and only good when its sprinkling, not for heavy storms or anything like that and its super thin and doesnt have any lining on the inside, but its cute and wearable .

I am too warm in my Columbia winter jacket but this jacket is too light. It does not have a liner (FYI). I live in the Dakotas, so need an in-between season style. It would be a great summer cool evening jacket; just not what I needed. It did fit but when I realized it was too thin (too light weight) I had to return it.

This item is very thin but great for rain not good for cold weather.

I thought this might have a liner so I was disappointed that it didn't. It looked like it did on the website. But I still like it.

The hood is really small. It's a very thin coat, but works for just keeping dry.

I returned this product today, I received it A LOT faster than expected. I should have read the reveiws, this jacket is EXTREMELY THIN. Paper thin. Feels a little rubbery. The color is true to the picture, I ordered the stormy blue and loved the color. I ordered a 3x which is usually a bit big on me, this jacket fit and was right on my stomach so everyhting was obvious.

This windbreaker is paper thin and sizes run small.

This jacket has lovely color combinations and a nice cut. It's far too thin to keep you warm in the manner you'd expect from simple jacket. When it rains you'll lack protection. Lastly, the price value relationship is negative. This jacket is cute, expensive and less than functional.

Just be aware, this jacket is very thin and while it might be waterproof, you'd have to wear a long sleeve shirt under it to stay warm. Even a thin cotton lining would have been helpful.

I had bought this to protect against the wind and rain during the warmer months. It helped stave off the cold a bit during windy days, as I work close to the water. However, not even a week of wearing it, it developed a V shaped tear on the back. I'm really disappointed, as it was really cute and nice to wear.

If you are a true size 3X this will not fit you. My mother is an XL - 1X and she just fits into the 3X.

Overall the jacket is cute.but the material is too thin.
