Customer Reviews Columbia Flash Forward Lined Windbreaker

This is my first lined windbreaker from Columbia. It is warmer than I thought it would be. The flannel lining feels nice against my skin and the hood is lined also. That's an added bonus. The pockets zip so nothing falls out when I am out walking the dog or shopping. I am 5'4" , about 125 lbs. I purchased the medium and it fits well. I cannot wear a sweater of sweatshirt under it but I think its mostly because of the lining.

So I ordered bout 7 or 8 jackets. This one is a keeper. Not many were. I am very picky! I am 5' 4" and 145lbs. I got the medium and it is a superb fit! I have broad shoulders and muscular arms and I do not feel constricted at all. I have shoulder issues and this is very easy to put on without hurting myself. It is very lightweight and thinly lined which makes it very cozy. Will be perfect for spring/summer. Plus its water resistant! And has zippered pockets! Perfect. As always love Zappos! And columbia is quickly becoming a fave.

This jacket had all the things I was looking for in a windbreaker. Many don't have any way to cinch the hood so that it stays on, but this jacket has a nice slightly stretchy drawstring to keep it closed so the wind won't blow it off. Bottom hem can cinch too when needed. Also wanted something lined for when it's a little chilly, but still light enough for all season wear. Could also be worn under a heavier coat if desired. Will be great for travel and the fact that it's not bulky means that it will pack well and can tie around the waist or shoulders when not wearing. Really like too that the handwarmer pockets zip up to keep things from falling out. Main zipper zips all the way up to the chin to keep the neck warm without being too tight. Sleeves are elasticized and fully lined too. The lining for this jacket is so well sewn that you could almost wear it inside-out; very nice quality. I usually wear XS but I bought the S. It just covers the bottom, but might have even preferred the M if I wanted to wear it over heavy sweaters or other jackets. I live in a pretty warm climate though so I didn't really need it for that right now. This is a really great all-around jacket that I think will serve very well in all types of weather.

I really like this jacket for the fall here in California. It has a fleece lining, zippered pockets and hood. It is not a rain jacket but is water resistant. It is light weight, not bulky, and the color is nice. I really like this casual outdoor jacket. I am a petite size, so the small fits me well. I can also wear another layer underneath, but not necessary since it is fleeced lined. The sleeves do have elastic, hence one star off as I prefer adjustable velcro. Also no inside pocket.

Love this jacket. I bought it in a large and medium, as I wasn't sure what size I wore or how the jacket ran. It is great for a summer jacket and I will be taking it with me on vacation to Eastern Europe. Zappos is the greatest with no hassels with returns and they always go the extra mile with everything. This place is my shopping favorite.

Perfect jacket for daily wearing, light, soft material, keep you warm, compact and great style. True size.

I still have this jacket and I love the color and the price that it was when I bought it.

Love... this perfect everyday jacket! Please make it in Navy and also White. The material is soft and doesn't make the awful crackling noise that a lot of wind breakers do. The lining is soft and very comfortable feels like flannel pajamas, wonderfully cozy ! I have this in black and really hope to see more solid colors as I requested .

Love it, it's cozy from the inside, I am size XL and got Large and it fit well

Nice fit and lightweight. Fleece lining keeps you warm and dry.

Nice jacket, fit as expected and is warmer than I thought it would be.

great jacket! well made and fitting was perfect for my daughter.

Great lined windbreaker for cooler weather. Bought two in different colors. Already have multiple windbreakers which are not lined. They do not work well in cooler weather as not enough warmth. This lined jacket is perfect for Fall weather and traveling to areas warm in the day but much cooler at night.

Super nice rain jacket with lining! I was very impressed how soft it's in the inside.

I love it! Fits perfectly on me and I love the material! Definitely recommend!!

La calidad es muy buena me encanto el material del forro un poco polar

Great!! Get this it is really great!! Wonderful color!! Even warm!! Has fleece on inside. Does not have inner pockets tho.

This is the second one of these I have had. The first one lasted forever. I hope this one is as good.

This jacket is gorgeous. Much prettier in person than on the website. I got the Nimbus Grey/Wind color. It's so soft, warm & cozy. Perfect for a cool spring morning. I like the fact it's water resistant as well. It's not a true waterproof rain jacket, but it will get you through a quick dash from the car in a pop up shower. The sleeves were just a little long, and not adjustable at the wrist like my Columbia raincoat. If you're on the fence about buying this jacket, you will not be sorry that you did.

What Ive been looking for. Fits perfect! I recomend

I had lost my Columbia jacket and was in desperate need for another one. Went to the website and found one even better then the one i had! Absolutely love it! Not too think, perfect for a fall/spring day. Definitely worth every penny!!

Soft, perfect light jacket! 5.3", 125 lbs size small fits perfect.

Nicely lined for cooler days and the hood is great for being in the March winds

Wore it on a trip to the coast, on a 50 degree sunny day it was the perfect light jacket to block the wind at the beach.

Great windbreaker. It's hard to find a windbreaker that has a nice lining. I am so glad that I found this. My wife loves it. The shopping experience was very easy and the shipping was excellent.
