Customer Reviews Columbia Pouration™ Jacket

Great, lightweight, packable jacket. It gets a little humid in there, but it's actually pretty breathable for a waterproof jacket. The underarm vents truly set it apart as I can wear it when it isn't pouring without melting from all the retained heat.

Good fit jacket with electronic pouch.

Have been looking for a medium duty jacket for a while. This fits that slot between light use windbreaker and heavy winter jacket.

Used this in the pouring rain and can say it is indeed waterproof. I live in the South where it is a little bit hotter, and even when it does rain it is still hot. I was able to open up the ventilation spots in the jacket and still stay dry. It is a very light jacket. It runs slightly large as I normally wear a M in t-shirt sizes, but most columbia gear I get fit me in a small. I am 5'8 142lbs

As a boat captain I am always dodging rain but sometimes it cannot be avoided. I always carry a light weight jacket with me for just those times. This product is great in that I can carry it in my backpack and when needed put it on to keep myself dry. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that needs a lightweight comfortable jacket to keep dry and look sharp..

I have been looking for a rugged, breathable waterproof jacket with a storable hood for some time, and I found it. I hike 30 - 50 miles per week in the Pacific Northwest and wish I had found this jacket years ago. Good ventilation and fit that accommodates a mid-layer fleece when necessary.

I live in Alabama, and we have a lot rain throughout the winter and spring. This jacket is the perfect jacket for me to wear for those rainy days. It's a little bit longer in the back so it covers more of my pants, but keeps me dry and cool inside. Some rain jackets make you sweat to death just to keep you dry from the rain. This jacket is just the opposite of that. It's form and function is fantastic and I highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for rain gear

My husband is very pleased with this jacket. It fits him perfectly and looks very classy. His only wish would be if the hood was removable, but he is satisfied that it folds away. Personally, I think having a hood always with you on a rain jacket is a good idea. He has not had the opportunity to test it in rainy weather, but it makes a great wind breaker on cool (not cold) days.

This is a great jacket and good quality raincoat. I don't need to bring umbrella even when it rains hard. I like the hand pockets that has zippers. I feel secure that things won't fall out of my pockets. I bought it for my husband initially, but then turns out that I got one for myself and one for my brother because it is so good. The small size is big for me, but I understand that it is not designed for women. It would be ideal if it carries a size XS.

Bought this jacket for my boyfriend who loves the great outdoors. Needless to say, he hasn't taken it off. Points for me!!! :)

I love this jacket. It is lightweight and does a good job of keeping water out. I am 6', 175lbs with an athletic build, and I have one of these in medium for wearing over just a thin shirt, and I have a similar one in large for wearing over cold weather gear. The medium fits me well, but wouldn't have enough room to accommodate extra layers underneath.

It's weighs less that I thought it would, perfect for traveling. Constructed how I would want it with pockets and vents where you need them.

Bought this jacket for rainy days and runs. I have been ecstatic ever since it started raining in the area. My dog and I run every morning and even in inclement weather, we need our exercise. The rain made us house dwellers but now we can run and stay dry with this jacket. Best part about the jacket is that it breathes. Every past rain jacket I have had makes you feel clammy and sweaty. Not this one!

Loved the color, fit my husband to a t. Very happy with my purchase

Very happy with this jacket. It keeps me dry and allows me to breath, without sweating to death. Light enough to wear during hot temps. I do wish the cuffs were elastic and it had inside pockets but still a 5 star jacket.

This rain coat has everything my husband was looking for in a raincoat. Except maybe the directions on how to fold it into its "travel pocket" He loves the chest area outside cell phone pocket.

Happy with the style and feel very comfortable, although the size is a bit bigger than expected.

I recently bought this jacket to replace another Columbia rain jacket I've had for years. I tried various other jackets before landing on this one, and like the light weight with a mesh liner. Overall, I've liked the jacket and would recommend it to others. There are two small details I wish were the same as my previous Columbia jacket: Snaps instead of velcro closures and solid instead of mesh pockets.

Lightweight, nice fit, 6'3" large fits perfectly, exactly what I was looking for. Not going to keep you warm, but should be perfect for summer rain coat in Michigan.

Just got it. Only time will tell if it's durable. Medium fit me well, little snug. I'm 5,7 185 Athletic build.

Works well. Fits large for runners even when you size down. But I will hang on to it for years. Best rain coat I have

Nice work. Runs slightly small. Would like to be able to fit sweater or light polar underneath.

Fits comfortably and is well thought out. Zipper pockets come in handy also. Nice coat.

Runs quite large. I usually wear an XL but had to size down to a large, still with plenty of room to spare for a thick, sherpa-lined fleece underneath. I wish the cuffs had elastic along with the velcro adjusters like some older Columbia models. Overall, I like it and it offers the protection I need for Oregon drizzle.

A little bit oversized. The quality is good, it protected me from the rain. It just too big for me.
