Customer Reviews Columbia Flash Forward Lined Windbreaker

I love this jacket already! I needed something lightweight for the warmer weather in case it rained. It's pretty warm because of the fleece lining but not too hot. Im excited to wear this jacket more!

I got this jacket for beach walking to keep the wind off and give some warmth. Very good quality, lining makes its warm enough. Not as windproof as I was hoping however to get true windproof I guess you need to get no breathing in jacket which makes it too hot. So overall happy with the product. Lives up to expectations.

Love this jacket when I am running out the park with my son during the winter (in California!) Blocks the wind, keeps me warm and is not a big puffy jacket.

Love this jacket for wind and light rain, super soft liner!

I live in Florida where it's never too cold but does get chilly and this jacket is the perfect thing to wear on a cool day or in the rain! My favorite thing about the jacket is that the microfleece lining is not only in the torso but also in the sleeves of the jacket!

I like the jacket it was what I wanted something for the cool days in the fall and spring when I am golfing.

I mostly purchased the Melonade/Coral jacket because it was a good deal, but the jacket seems quite cozy and functional. I have not had a chance to test it out yet but am looking forward to it; if it works well I'd definitely consider another!

I BOUGHT THIS JACKET LAST WEEK OF AUGUST, TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE COOL AND RAIN WEATHER. I ORDERED A SMALL SO I CAN HAVE ROOM FOR ANOTHER JACKET TO PUT INSIDE OF IT. SO FAR, I'M USING IT FOR COOLER MORNING EVERY TIME I SENT MY SON TO SCHOOL, IT HELPS ME KEEP WARM. I HAVEN'T TRY IT YET ON THE RAIN, BECAUSE IT HASN'T RAIN HERE YET. BUT I LOVE THE JACKET SO FAR!

Product as described. Beautiful colors and very soft. Worth the sale price I paid. Definitely not worth the acutal ticketed price. Too hot to wear now but will do the job for cooler spring/fall days. Nice season transition jacket. Should've bought another to gift out.

I love this jacket. it does not feel bulky and provides great protection from the elements. It neatly folds into a small bag(not provided) which makes it perfect for dressing in layers during hikes.

Runs a little large compared to the marked size. Other than that, it's a great jacket. I bought an L sized grey-black jacket with pink zip. Looks good too. :)

This jacket is great for the cooler months of the year. The fleece provides a nice layer of warmth, and I love that the jacket is water and wind resistant. I would say the only drawback for me is the cord at the hem. When untied, it can easily get caught on nearby objects. Otherwise, this jacket is accurately advertised and a worthwhile purchase.

Bought as a Christmas gift and although it runs a tad small it is a great jacket for a great price. Was thicker than I expected but that's a great upside!

Such a comfortable jacket and it looks attractive too. I just wish Columbia made a version that was soft and lined like this windbreaker, but was fully waterproof rather than being minimally resistant. I always wish I could wear this cozy windbreaker in rainy weather, but it just doesn't cut it for wet conditions.

I think my issue is that I'm curvy- not big-- I'm 5'6 and a size 8-- but curvy. I had initially ordered the large based on other reviews, and I was swimming it it. I then ordered the Medium, and it's fits great, except the bottom, which hits my upper thigh--it's not super tight, just not as loose as I would have liked. Still happy with this beautiful, soft jacket though.

Its a great jacket its an extra large which is my normal size..... Its just a little to short in the arms

The colors are really nice and the top fits well. I think it will be nice to wear in late fall and will provide warmth.

I've had this jacket almost two years now. It's great in the wind and the lining does keep the chill offHowever, the lining moves all around and it's impossible to put a fleecy top underneath. It causes the lining to bunch up. I'm keeping the jacket cause the pros outweigh the cons.

I like the look of this jacket and the fit is pretty decent. It is a little shapeless, but that's not a deal breaker. I am disappointed with the lining. It is soft, but when you put the jacket on, the lining sticks to your arm and pulls out of the jacket. I try to stuff it back in, but it's rather annoying. I wish the lining were somehow fixed to the main part of the jacket. Also, the drawstring at the bottom of the jacket does not stay well. It's a little rubber piece that holds it in place, but it doesn't hold very well. I am happy with the waterproof capability, but that's about all. It's an ok weight for spring and early fall. I would not purchase again, however.

I haven't worn it outside yet but love the lining as it'll give some warmth in cooler days. Fits great!

I love the color, design and feel of this coat. I've had this for less than a month and the Columbia name has two letters starting to peel from the top of the letters. Super bummed. I researched long and hard before choosing a spring coat and now I'm having to return it. :(

Overall, just not for me. 5’7”, 150lbs - size medium fit well. The color was a little more pink than I’d like. The weight was good for a cool spring day. The biggest problem was the lining. You know some linings just don’t feel attached, so when you put it on, it feels like the lining will come out the sleeve.

I was hoping to buy a windbreaker. The chest area too snug and the sleeves too blousy and too long. It has a warm liner which I did not want. Sadly I returned the item

Too small
