Customer Reviews Columbia Switchback Lined Long Jacket

The Switchback Line Long Jacket runs VERY small. I'm normally a U.S. size 4/6 and always wear a small in most items. I sized up to a medium in this jacket and I'm having to return it. I could barely zip it with just a thin shirt underneath. It's a very fitted jacket. If you are wearing anything thicker than a thin top, you'd need more room so make sure to size up one or two sizes. Too bad the large size is sold out. I'm 5'5" and 130lbs.

It is a nice jacket, keeps me dry, but I do find the cloth on the arms to be a bit warm and makes me sweat easily. Otherwise I love the colour and it is very cute.

I purchased this coat for a recent trip to a wetter climate and it served me well. It was a perfect longer length, and the lining wasn't too thick - warm but not heavy. I was complimented on the color too. The only complaint I have is the coat arrived with some discoloration on the front of the jacket and I did not have time to exchange it. I will see if it washes out once I wash it.

Would have liked it more if the fabric didn't wrinkle so much. Not what I thought it would be.

Nice rain jacket! Love the color and longer length

This is a great color of two toned green. Except, it is pretty tight around the breast. My usual xl in Columbia runs a little big, but this one was different. But I'm keeping it anyway for my Safari vacation and wanted to lose 10 more pounds anyway!

Its a nice fitting comfortable jacket, for rain protection like the tag says. Was hopeful this comfy jacket would be also fully rain water resistant. I bought it to wear during an outside event where on and off rain was due to occur. I definitely felt damp, even in the light rain, especially around the neck area. So not something you can wear in the rain without added protection like an unbrella that would shield the full force of the rain.

Run a little small, had to return and size up! Covers what it needs to and holds up in the rain!

I got this for my daughter. She hasn’t worn it in the rain yet, but I would suggest ordering a size larger than what you would normally order. It seems to run a bit small

Just got It feels nice. Not to heavy. Ihave yet to wear it though.

I ordered up a size as recommended by others and it's too large. It's also not lined as much as I wanted; I was looking for something a bit warmer than a rain jacket.

Coat is well made. I like the light fleece lining. I bought an XL which is my usual size. Due to probably the fabric and a slightly tighter fit, it's a little tight across my chest. If I had sized up I would be swimming in it in every other part. Just a note for others with larger chest size.

This is a really nice looking jacket and I like it for the price. My only issue with this jacket is is not breathable at all.

Rain jacket is a nice length and a good weight for cool weather.

Runs small. Longer body which I love at 5'10! Overall good jacket, would just size up.

Quality jacket for the price! Runs a bit large, but I did buy it in order to wear over bulkier clothing. Will be perfect for rainy spring and fall days! I like how it's longer to cover my behind so I won't be soggy :)

A great light-weight jacket. I like the length and the soft material used as the lining. The zipper goes all the way up my neck for additional warmth/coverage. Two things I would like is a small pocket on the inside of the jacket (the zippered pockets on the outside are great) and the length of the sleeves shortened (an inch?)

really like the jacket and the color is great...wish it was a little longer

Fits true to size with a little extra room and length to cover the bum. Repels the wind and rain pretty well. The hood could have a little more coverage but it works. Nice inner lining to help with warmth but best to add an extra layer for colder conditions. Overall a well made and great jacket!

Good jacket and length for chilly days or nights...

Nice jacket, had to return because it was too tight in my hips. If you are pear shaped like me then size up.

great quality! however, personal preference resulted in return of item. I expected a nice bluegreen as in picture, but actual was a drab green. I like brighter colors for outerwear especially in dismal weather. normally a M, but ordered a L due to covid weight gain, so sleeves were too long for me. (Read bunchy despite velcro).

Fit and size were fine. Item was just as described in brochure

It's nice for 40-70 degrees weather which was shocking seeing how thin and light weighted it was. It's waterproof and alittle windproof, not like a windbreaker however a nice substitute.

very light yet surprisingly warm - this makes it a very versatile garment not just for the hill, for also for afterwards when strolling around town (the longer cut keeps you relatively warmer when its windy) or going for dinner
