Customer Reviews Columbia Pouration™ Jacket

Bought this as a christmas gift for my daughter. She usually prefers bigger sizes so I bought the XL and she loves it so much! The color is great and so dainty. Great for hiking on chilly weather.

Lovely color and great product. Fits so well. My daughter loves it soo much!

Nice lightweight rain/ wind weather jacket for chilly days

I have not used this rain jacket yet but the color is just beautiful. It fits great and I especially love the cuff which i can make smaller because of the Velcro closure.

Columbia jackets are my favorite. I have traveled all over the world in my Columbia jackets. They are versatile and help me face any weather conditions. They are also durable and fashionable. I would highly recommend any and all of them.

I like most everything about it. Fit is perfect. I often buy men's sportwear, but liked the little bit of shape to this. It is waterproof, so far, just one long hike in a cold and windy downpour. I prefer the mesh to the "newer" technologies (Columbia version "EvaPouration" or some such). I don't feel chilled nor do I stick to the coat w/ sweat on the Pouration. I LOVE the chest zipper pocket. When I hike, my pack is covered by a raincover so I like to have most things dry and at hand in pockets. I have to say that the packing in a pocket thing has defeated me. Questions to Columbia by others boil down to just stuff it, and a video was not helpful. Doesn't matter really, because a gallon sized ziploc does great. The hood does adjust easily, and is a nice emergency backup, tho I still can't see as well as I would like even w/ "bill" so am continuing to use my Tilley hat which works beautifully. On a recent cold, very wet day, I used a neck warmer w/ the jacket zipped up all the way to cover a lot of that and my hat to shed the rest. I like the way the jacket zips up all the way. The only thing I don't like, which is not a negative for most folks, is the abundant velcro. I use silk all winter and keeping it away from velcro is a challenge. The perfect rain jacket for me would be the Pouration jacket with the EvaPouration front zipper with a no velcro flap under the zipper. I pretty much pack a jacket like this most of the year, just because sometimes a windbreaker is wonderful when I get to the "top", wet with sweat and a breeze blowing. I sort of got a bit lost a couple of months ago and the forecasted sun and 77degrees in fact turned out to be low 50s, rainy, cloudy, and windy. I had to hike more miles than I planned, and my old and battered Columbia rainjacket that I threw in at the last minute provided some very welcome warmth and comfort. Thank you, Columbia.

Im 5'7"I bought small , i weigh 128 pounds and it fits perfect , love the jacket , its also lined which keeps it from sticking to u on humid days

Great, lightweight jacket. And yes, it's waterproof!

Surprised my wife with this replacement rain jacket with all the bells and whistles. She really appreciates the color (white) and the fit. She is not slim and a large was roomy for her.

Great fabric quality. Arms are a bit longer but there is a tab on the wrists to adjust. The length covers my behind. Overall size runs a bit large so I opted for an XS. I am 5'4 and 120lbs - slimmer built.

I love Columbia raincoats and decided to get this one after my other one was lost. It has many features I love: mesh lining, a packable pocket, a stowaway hood, and three zipper pockets. I wear this to play intercollegiate ultimate frisbee and have stayed dry through 2-day tournaments. I recommend this product to people who need a heavy duty yet packable rainjacket (it packs to about 9"x6" which is too big for backpackers but great for the average person). I got a size Small and it ran a tiny bit large on me (I'm 5'2" and 125 lbs). I wish that both pockets were packable but the raincoat is meant to be packed into only one of the pockets.

Such a beautiful color, great fit also. Im returning it because I liked the Marmot brand I also ordered better. I wanted something very light ,and this one has mesh lining and lining in the sleeves also. It is a great jacket, had a hadr time deciding between the two. If I had use for two I would have kept it.

I love this jacket and would definitely recommend. Runs true to size. I am 5'9 and ordered a small. Loved that the torso and sleeves were long enough for me.

Works perfect for me. Not to warm but can easily layer underneath.

This is a great rain/wind jacket. It is actually a replacement of a jacket with some design flaws. I benefitted from Columbia making good on a product through an exchange for my old damaged jacket for this one. It's a better jacket, nicer design and I really appreciate Columbia making good on the exchange (my old jacket is no longer available). So thanks Columbia!

Love this jacket. Just took it on a trip to barbados and a cruise. Its light weight but warm. It rained just a little and kept me dry. Love the style. Can't say enough good things about this jacket

This is my second jacket. I loved it so much, I needed another color. Perfect for Pacific Northwest! Best part is it's breathable!

For Spring season and cool summer days I prefer a waterproof, quality jacket with zippered pockets and a hood. I purchased color White in size Medium. I am about 5'6" tall, lean build. It fits just right. I can hug with no pull on shoulders at all. When I wear my Columbia zipped sweater underneath it's a little snug but it's tolerable. I always make sure that there are pockets with zippers and a hood in case of random rain. My two complaints are: -One, get rid of all the velcro along the central zipper, please - it gets in the way of me zippering my jacket closed and open fast. I'm always on the go and gotta be fast. The velcro is unbelievably annoying - it's goes - zip, snag, zip, snag, zip,snag (3 patches of velcro). One may say just use the velcroe and not zipper....that makes it very chilly and cold when the wind and rain hits me. The central zipper keeps the wind/rain out. -Second, make the hood bigger for us gals who wear our hair up in buns and ponytails - I always prefer a hood to go beyond my face so my face doesn't get wet at all. Instead the edge of this hood stops at my hair line when my hair is up and my face gets wet in the rain-every time. Other than this I'm grateful for a high quality material jacket that keeps me 95% dry and protected from wind with zippered, good-size pockets and a hood. Keep it up Columbia. Fix your hood and get rid of extra velcro please ;-)

The rain jacket is a beautiful bright red and will be perfect for walking the dog.

this is a great jacket and made of great material. unfortunately, it runs large so i had to return (they no longer do exchanges). the arms are really long and it goes all the way down to the tip of my fingers. i got large and large is my usual size

Perfect for rainy days! Pit zips are the reason I buy this jacket (my third). but need to add inside pockets!

The jacket is very comfortable and light weight, but good windbreaker so with a sweater comfortably warm. Pockets nice and large.
