Customer Reviews Columbia Switchback III Jacket

This Switchback III jacket fits great. I ordered the M and I'm 5'4" and 145 lbs. I can were a sweater underneath and it still can be zipped up. I ordered it in fuchsia and color is bright and works well with my olive skin. The stowaway hood is great. I have yet to wear in the rain but it worked well to keep the wind out. I would buy this jacket again in a heartbeat.

The product was just as described. Fits right to size or just slightly on the smaller side. I used the on-line chat help in choosing a size and glad I did. I feel it is exactly what I wanted.

Love that it is lightweight. Perfect for a rainy day. Size runs a little small but a large fit me great.

I bought this for my daughter, so far she loves it! We haven't tried it in a heavy rain yet, but it's good in light rain. My daughter likes that the hood can roll down into the collar. It does run just a little but small, but not bad!

Material feels like a plastic bag. Super thin. Color is hot pink, matching the color online so that is a plus. I hope it keeps the rain out. I wish I had ordered the extra small instead of the small.

I've only worn it once but it seems to do the job. It was a lot thinner than I expected it to be so hopefully it doesn't tear.

Great little rain jacket, perfect for golf. Fold up to fit in golf bag. Used it on windy day, hasn't rained yet so I'll have to wait to see how it does

I luv the color. I can't wait for summer. True to size. I ordered a large and it is not tight. 150lbs. 5'4. A great eye catcher.

This is a very nice, light weight spring jackets that runs true to its size. Good quality at an affordable price.

I wanted a lightweight breathable jacket for the humid rainy days here in Florida that I could wear to the theme parks! This jacket is perfect! Plus it is a cute little jacket and I love the fact that they hid the hood.

This was a nice jacket in general. Pretty color, nice front hand pockets and a reasonably decent hood. The problem, for me, was that the sleeves were just too long. Admittedly, I'm a little short (5'3") so my arms probably are too. Still, I didn't want to deal with sleeves that reached my fingers so I made a return. I ranked function as "average". That may not be fair as I returned it, but it seemed to me like the jacket might not breathe very well and it would probably be pretty hot. But at this price point that isn't really surprising to me. IF the sleeves had been okay for me I'd probably use this jacket on casual walks. I'd probably also stuff it in my pack (it packs into a pocket really nicely!) on days when I was not expecting bad weather but wanted to have something just in case. For bad weather hiking I'd probably stick w/ a different gore-tex jacket that I have. As with all outdoor gear you need to match your product to your activity.

It's thin build for a warmer rainy day. Keep You dry that's a plus.

This is a nice, lightweight jacket and will be very functional. It ran small but the larger size fits fine.

I have 3 of these jackets and wear them under a jacket without a hood. They work great in the rain!

It's a good raincoat. It's lightweight and I like the hood . It's a bit snug on the belly but maybe because I got a bit of a pot belly, lol. It comes in handy on rainy days. I'm happy with the product...

Nice for fall/spring cold weather. Light enough to where it doesn't feel baggy. But still spacious to wear something light under the jacket. Perfect for light rain or wind weather. The hood that tucks in is a nice touch. I'm 5'4 & weigh 130 pounds & the medium size fit right to size.

Great Light Weight Rain Jacket, Just Wish It Had More Breathability. I Get Sweaty Very Quickly and I'm not Going Hard or Anything Yet. So Unfortunately I Have To Get Another One So that I Have Ample Breathability While Hiking, Which Is Why I Ordered This In The First Place.

This coat will be very versatile for summer. It will be perfect for keeping wind and rain out. I only wish it had a scuba hood as opposite to the collapsible stow away hood.

its great as a raincoat. doesn't keep the wind out thought but great for warmish rainy days

Fits great over my sweaters and rolls up.nice for travel

The quality is very good! It does seem to run a little small, but I ordered a size up and it fits well.

I'm normally wear an XL in woman and couldn't zip it up. So if you are blessed upstairs buy a larger size. Luckily my daughter who normally wears a medium fit her perfectly. Other than that it's a great jacket

The size was a little smaller, ordered XL and the fit was smaller would not close all the way, still use it, protects from the rain, like the hood..

This is a nice little jacket. It is probably a tiny bit smaller than my XL Columbia zip up hoodie. It is a bit noisy though when you move.

Nice jacket overall. It does run slightly on the smaller side, The only thing that would make it better would be if it was a little longer. It packs well.
