Customer Reviews Columbia Switchback III Jacket

Unfortunately I had to return my jacket as it runs small in size. I ordered another style!

This is a nice jacket if you are looking for a thin unlined rain jacket/wind breaker. I thought it was also a cool weather jacket but it really isn't. It is not lined and is very thin. Since I already have a Columbia rain jacket I am returning this one.

Runs true to size. Comments before said size one up. Now it's too big.

This is definitely a flimsier version of Columbia's rain jackets. They definitely have more durable ones, this just isn't it. The material is pretty uncomfy in comparison to some other ones they have. It's also not very comfy to have zipped up all the way and drive, it like bubbles up in your lap and is kinda annoying.

I bought this jacket as a replacement for my tried and true Regatta rain jacket. The fit of this jacket is not great. It is too tight across the middle and the sleeves are too long. It is not well made either. It is not good value for the price I paid. I will be purchasing a Regatta jacket once I am able to travel to Ireland and the UK again (Regatta is not available in the USA).

The material is great.I shouldn't order the large size because it's bigger for me. I should get the medium size.

The price was great but the color is not attractive and doesn't look like the online picture. I will be returning it.

Paper thin so if you purchase this don't expect it to keep you warm.

Thin lightweight jacket... I have 5 jackets/pullovers from Columbia and havent had this issue of abnormally long sleeves. I was cracking up cos it's seriously an extra 7 inches or so!!!!! There is a horizontal velcro to tighten the cuff area so i guess you can do that, and have all that slouch/extra fabric at the wrists.. OR just fold it 2 or 5 times.

Super thin. Stitching is okay. Super light jacket.

Like the color, wasn't crazy about the feel of the material and the sleeves were too too long.

I was too excited when I received my jacket just to realize that it was small.

This runs extremely small through the bust. Returned the large for an XL and was still snug across bust. I am a double D but a large and for sure XL usually works for me.

I've had to reorder this jacket twice because it runs about 2 sizes too small. Make sure to size up when buying

I like the jacket and like the color but it is simply thin and sheer

This jacket is good quality material, however was much thinner than I was expecting, and it would only be good to wear in the rain or a cooler summer day in my opinion. I thought it would be warmer for fall, but definitely is not. I did return this jacket.

Nice quality and I love the color, but the sleeves are far too long. Must be a manufacturing defect.

The jacket is very thin and see through not happy at all with quality

The jacket is very nice, i like the color but is not as picture shown.

I can definitely say that I would never pay full price for this product. It might make a good backup rain jacket, but it is way too thin.

Good and comfortable jacket but arms are big and loose.

I thought I was ordering a grey jacket that would go with everything, at least that's what the "Spring Blue" looks like in the picture. What I got was a sky blue jacket that will not go with most colors, it's as far from grey as it could be. It's also completely see through, which I was not anticipating. Too much of a hassle to return, so I guess I'm stuck with it. Lesson learned, trust the name of the color and not the photo of it.

The jacket is very nice and functional. The only thing I didn't like was the Columbia logo was an iron on instead of it being embroidered.

There is no mesh inside, so it's like wearing a plastic bag. Not very comfortable to me, unless I'm wearing a long sleeved shirt underneath. Also, I ordered the red orchid color and was sent a deep medium pink color instead. Fit was fine, Columbia products generally fit me well. I liked that the hood could be tucked in when not in use, and it was indeed easy to pack into one of the hip pockets. I ended up returning the jacket due to the inaccurate color and general lack of contentment over the feel. It wasn't very comfortable when I tried it on because of the material.

The only problem with this product is the spring blue color in the picture does not match the actual product. The jacket is actually a bright light blue unlike the picture shows so just a heads up! Otherwise great jacket.
