Customer Reviews Columbia Switchback III Jacket

This is a good jacket for areas that don't experience really cold weather or heavy downpoor. I'm from CA so it fits my needs fine. My only real complaint is that the jacket is a bit large for me, granted I am a very petite person so maybe I should look into ordering large children's jackets in the future LOL. Aesthetically I really love how rich the color is.

Nice jacket, however, I ordered the wrong size and would like to exchange for the appropriate size. Other than that, I've alwyas received good, quality products from Columbia. I will continue to buy from this company in the future. Thank you for your services.

Very nice jacket, love the color but does run a touch small. I normally wear a large and it was just a little snug so I wouldn't be able to wear anything under it and there is no lining as described on the website. If it were lined I would exchange it but it is not.

I bought this jacket for my sister, and she hasn't taken it off! It's wonderful!

This is a very nice well made rain jacket, however it does run small so I suggest getting one or two sizes up if you will be wearing with sweaters underneath. It's a great buy.

I can't stand bulky jackets and this serves purpose of keeping me dry from car to work without being bulky when driving.

I bought this jacket when going on my trip to Italy and it kept me warm and dry the whole time. I still wear it to this day because it keeps me warm during the winter times

I bought this jacket because I wanted to match my daughter. I got the last one in Aqua Haze, but when I received it, it had an ink stain on it. I bought it to match my daughter, and got the last one in Aqua Haze, so I really didn't want to send it back. There weren't many options available other than to just send it back. A little disappointed but it seems like a nice jacket! Very cute.

Bought this for a family membersl. Ran much too narrow, tight in the hips. She is petite medium but the regular medium did not fit. Have to return.

Good light weight rain jacket but it is see through which is disappointing. Fits true to size.

Jacket is only suitable for light rain, didn't keep me dry in heavy downpour.

I've worn Columbia products for several years from when I purchased this jacket. Columbia products usually last for many years. I usually buy a medium jacket but brought a large this time. The jacket is cut smaller and fits, which is to small for me but I'm keeping it Instead of sending it back since I needed it right away. The color is very light and peachy, I thought it was just a little darker.

Jacket performed good in the rain; however, I'm using this cycling and I couldn't get the hood to stay on my cycling helmet. I tried everything...tightened it and it still fell off helmet. My other issue is that the picture shows this comes with a small sack to stuff it in and I didn't receive that sack. Bummer as I needed this for an upcoming trip and want to be able to make it as small as possible to stash in my pack or back pocket. I also returned the Small for an extra Small as the small was huge. I'm 5'2" and 100-ish lbs. Return process was easy and prompt.

Beautiful color as pictured. Have worn once in the rain and did not get wet. When wearing on a humid day that did not rain, the coat did not wick perspiration well leaving my cotton tee shirt damp and this is the reason for only giving the coat 3 stars. The coat has no mesh lining similar to previous Columbia rain coat.

I loved the color options, but the lack of an inner-liner made it uncomfortable in a short-sleeved shirt.

I had a previous Columbia rain jacket that was also an XL and fit me perfectly, so I bought the same size in this one. It is WAY too small. Won't come close to zipping up. I'll have to return it, but not sure if I'll try another size or just try another brand.

Good product but I suggest you order 1 size larger than you need. Surprised to find out it was tapered in the back and fits snug for the size.

GREAT LITTLE RAIN JACKET, BUT NOT ABLE TO FOLD OVER TO CARRY LIKE PICTURE SHOWN WHEN ORDERED

I walked a few miles in the rain to get to a football game. While I stayed dry from the rain, I was getting wet inside of the jacket because it was like walking in a steam room. I'd love this jacket if I lived in Arizona, or other such dry climates, but here, in the humid Southeast, since this jacket isn't breathable like other rain jackets, this jacket was not a good choice for me. I peeled the jacket off my arms (I was wearing a short sleeved shirt under the jacket) and my arms were wet with all that steam that built up inside while I walked in the rain.

I bought this for my daughter who liked my rain jacket. It wasn't the same style I had purchased for myself. It's very thin and would be great for the summer. She didn't like it so I returned it and ordered the correct one.

super thin, expensive; older version was better; quality goes down as years go by

Unlike some of the reviewers, I found this fit me perfectly, per my normal size medium. Love the length and the purple color is beautiful. Disappointed, though, that on one of my normal morning city walks, it comes back beading sweat on the inside. I'm a brisk walker, but this coat doesn't breath at all. Haven't tried it in the rain to know how waterproof it is as I have another great waterproof Columbia raincoat that DOES breath.

This jacket sticks to your body. It makes it uncomfortable

This jacket is very lightweight, which is what I wanted. But it suns very small, so SIZE UP!

Great jacket - sizing is off. Im a 10-12 in jeans order 12-14 . It zips but barely while wearing a sweater .
