Customer Reviews Columbia Pouration™ Jacket

Not a bad jacket. The color was a touch too blue for my taste so I went with the dark nocturnal in the Arcadia jacket.

I bought this jacket as a rain jacket that would be comfortable, breathable and waterproof on warm days in summer or with a fleece jacket, on cold days in the fall, spring, or winter. The style is flattering, accenting the waistline. The sleeves are roomy and long with velcro closure. The length is good for driving, although a sturdier, two-way zipper would be much better for sitting in the car or to let in some air on a hike. It has underarm zippers to help cool when needed. The pockets could be sturdier for keys, cellphone, and wallet, although there is a zippered pocket on one side of the upper chest and zippered side slit pockets, comfortable for warming hands. (I'm replacing a jacket with similar zippered pocket. I couldn't see to get to my keys after a concert, and didn't realize I had zippered it. I thought the keys had gone through the mesh, and had to tear the pocket apart to get to my keys.) The collar stands tall and protects the neck. The hood is good and can be adjusted with velcro at the back or folded into the collar completely. It seems to be very well made. I bought a large online, thinking the medium would be too tight. I have only worn it a few times. I love it so far.

I really love the night wave color, but I returned this jacket because it was oversized. I have rather large hips (47) and a large bust (38F). It was too large in the stomach area, and made me appear larger than I am. Waist is around 36.

Loved the color and weight, and sizing seemed accurate. Nice quality. Found the high neckline (with hood) a bit high and stiff but this was a personal preference.

I first will share that I am 5'4" 150lbs and ordered the medium. It works but has no extra room for anything bulky underneath. I got the grey/white, which is very flattering as that is my hair color as well. I subsequently ordered the same in a large, which has lots of room , and I will wear the large more often than not. i could not return the medium, because I already wore it and took off the tags, and all, so....i don't mind. It is what I wear when the weather demands, and when i walk the dog at night, for high visibility.

This jacket has a flattering fit and style. I am 5'4" 145lbs bra size 36B, and I got the Medium in this jacket, I am 64 years of age, and got this in the white/grey, which matches my hair. I could have gotten the Large, but then the sleeves would be too long. I like this jacket, for walking my dog at night, and felt the white was a good color. I like the hood, it has been raining and pouring, very happy I got this today.

I love Columbia products, and this one seemed as well made as any of them. What sent it back was the "hook and loop" (Velcro) all down the inside front over the zipper. Even just trying it on bugged me, and I can't imagine it getting better with time. If you don't mind that sound- go for it! It's a very nice jacket otherwise.

This jacket is full of design features. I miss the zippered chest pocket. Also the neck is too high, it does not fit as comfortably as the EvaPOURation. Also the mesh lining drives me crazy. It gets caught as you try to quickly put on or take off the sleeves. I like the Eva POURation much better.

Good and affordable rain jacket . Runs big. You can hide the hood.

Good quality jacket, but it was stiffer than what I wanted, it was thick and kind of loud when moving around. It was also a boxy, I was looking for a more form fitting, thinner lightweight jacket with a hood. I had to return it.

This was a nice jacket but the collar was way too high and was uncomfortable. I have returned the jacket.

I was looking for a lightweight jacket that's not so noisy, but this one is. And the fit is odd- sleeves are big but ok, but the armholes are small, which limits what can be worn underneath. It's shorter than I want by a couple inches and the hip area is very wide. I love the color and it seems to be well made, it's just not for me

I purchased this coat for 3 reasons - Velcro on the sleeves, adjustable hood, and extra pocket. I'm happy with the quality of the jacket for the price, but wish I could change two things. At 5'1", I wish the jacket was a little shorter. It hits my hips at an odd length. I also wish the extra pocket was a little larger. It's not deep enough to hold a phone (or much else.)

Thick water repellent windbreaker no warmth support.

The fit was way off for me. Seemed made for a person with large shoulders, no hips and the neck of a giraffe. I usually love a funnel-neck..but this was ridiculous. Worse, the bottom was way too tight and the shoulders were huge.

It was a great coat except for the collar - too tall and bulky for my short frame.

Too small

Wasn't for me, not enough features for hiking
