Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Switchback III Jacket

The coat fits good and is thin enough to wear in warm conditions. The only complaint I have is the tag says waterproof but its seams are not sealed to be waterproof. Good in light rain but cannot be worn for long periods in wet weather.

Light weight with no lining. My bad. I thought the lighter blue in the picture was a light weight lining. Even at the sale price it is pricey for a nylon rain jacket. Spring, summer use only.

This is my third of these rain jackets in ~8 years. They are light and they are great at first but stop repelling rain over time. I still keep coming back to them other other ones as these don't cause me to sweat.

I got this jacket for a great price and I love the color. It fits a little tight but still fits.

Jacket is pretty and fits well. But the picture online was pink and the color was "blossom pink"; when it arrived, I was surprised to find it actually appears to be lavender. My husband thought it was purple. I kept it because it is still nice, but really wanted pink, so it would be helpful if the picture and description were more accurate based on the actual product color.

Love the jacket except for the collar , the jacket looks very nice on . Sleeves are long on me .

Great rain jacket. Thinner than expected but can be eaisly layered.

Nice jacket. Perfect for rainy and windy days. I like the color.

Really nice spring/summer jacket. The fit is great, however, really thin. Unsure how it will be in the rain. Otherwise, Love it!

I love the dark blue color. It's a great neutral. This is not lined with mesh as stated, except for the pockets, which is why I marked it down a star. It packs up in the pocket fairly easily, it's lightweight but a little bulky to store it in a purse. It will be great for road trips and hiking when the weather has rain in the forecast.

This is a great windbreaker. This was a great bargain.

The color is as bright as on-line; it fits well; it's lightweight and folds well, so I can keep it in my backpack to travel back and forth to work. I love the pockets and that the bottom of the jacket falls to the top of my thighs, so everything in my pockets will stay dry. Now, I just need it to rain.....

I love this jacket. The size does run a little smaller than I usually wear but it works. Very functional. Easy to travel with. I like the color.

Very lite weight jacket.

This is the second jacket I have worn and it serves me well all of the time. It's perfect for rainy days.

Wanted a rain jacket for golf that zipped and this was great. A little tighter than I wanted but still worked to keep the rain out.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains, alot. My last rain jacket got a hole in it while tailgating. Wanted something similar and bought this. Love the fit and the color. I don't like the thin plastic zipper or the placement of the velcro at the cuff. The tab sits at the top of the wrist so it is a bit awkward for me.

Love this jacket. The sleeves are a little tight closer to the upper arms but otherwise a great jacket.

Thinner then expected but should be a good layering coat. I am tall and have to size up just because of arm length.

Although I have another Columbia rain jacket I ordered the switch back 2 because it folds up into its own pouch. I can now keep a hooded, waterproof rain jacket in my tote at all times for any rain emergency that might occur. I got the pink one and the color screams "Spring". I thought the fit was on the small side and it was described as being lined and the only lining is some mesh inside the pockets. It's a nice jacket but it's for the spring and summer only as it's very light weight.

I was in the store and tried this on. I'm glad I did! The coat is not cut for women who have longer limbs or tall people. I would usually order a large but the sleeves were too short and the coat was too short too. I tried on an XL and i had the same problem. I then tried on an 1X and that did fit my long arms and hit lower on my torso. I'm 5'10" and needed to get the 1X for it to fit. I wish Columbia made this in a tall version!!! It does have a drawcord on the bottom so I can cinch it in so it doesn't swim on me but I like it bigger for layering purposes and the ability to throw over my snowboarding coat to make it waterproof so I don't get soaked on wet days. All in all it works, but it's not perfect. Make this in a tall please!!!!

If not get a size up I got a 1xl but could use 2xl

I purchased the pink coat. It is not bright like it appears online, which was disappointing. The color is darker, more muted, and more of a magenta. I intentionally got one size up so that it wouldn't be clingy as many raincoats are, and it fits exactly as I would expect for one size up. As with every Columbia product I've ever had, it is of excellent quality.

The Jacket is very thin and lighter than I thought it would be but will be very good for rainy spring/fall days. I was specifically looking for more of a winter jacket and this is not it so to me the pictures were a bit deceiving.

I've been using this jacket as a shell while x-country skiing. It keeps the chill out, but does not breathe...but it's not supposed to. I like the fit and the pink color. Thank you Columbia for having "plus" sizes.
