I’m 5’8 148 pounds and got a medium. Because it’s a fitted cut/style I’m glad I went with a medium so I can fit a sweatshirt under it if it’s cold but it doesn’t look “big” with just a regular shirt under it. Also love that the arms are long enough!

Wow this jacket is cute!! The material feels nice - softer than other rain jackets I’ve had and the cut is very flattering - I thought it was true to size but cut slim - so if you want something roomy for sweaters better size up.

I love everything about this jacket! Yes, it does run small, especially if you want to layer. Service from Zappos was outstanding when I exchanged sizes.

Very comfortable jacket. Blocked the rain and wind all day. Cute fit, not boxy at all. I got the black cherry mini hex color and I loved it. Kind of like a wine color.

Stylish rain coat and exactly what I was looking to take on my trip to London. I'm usually a small and the small fit perfect with enough room to wear layers underneath.

I am 5'7", 135 and i ordered a medium jacket in black cherry. Beautiful color and great fit. It's a lightweight jacket, which is perfect for fall and spring showers. Have used it several times already while walking the dogs and running errands. Love its shaped sillhouette and its fun hi-lo hemline.

This jacket is lovely! I have walked my dog in it for a total of 5 days and I remained completely dry. We got caught in a down pour and the hood worked wonders to direct the rain away from my face. It blocked the wind a bit, but is not a really warm jacket. I layered a half zip under it and I was fine. It covered my fanny which helped to keep me warm. Another nice feature is the 2 way zipper. If you get caught in a downpour and need to run home, you can unzip the bottom and really sprint if necessary! It's a wonderful light spring rain jacket. I liked it so much I bought the white with flecks of silver in it. It's a gorgeous color! Highly recommend. I'm 5'0" tall and 120 pounds. A medium allowed me to layer a thin half zip.

It fits a little small, but I'm happy with it. The material is light so I don't get hot in warm weather. Love the color

Coats in the store were sewn a different size even though they were labeled the same size as the coats ordered online. The one that came from an online order had a very narrow waist. The next coat which I was able to get from the store, is much bigger than I need but a pretty raincoat nonetheless. Sometimes it's good to have room underneath for sweaters. I'm very glad to see bright, pretty, cheerful colors in plus sizes. Standardized sizing would be great. One was too small one was too big.

Love it! It's just brighter yellow than in the picture - kind of like curious George's jacket - but that didn't bother me much

I read the reviews and sized down - I should have just gone with the large. I am 5' 8" and 160lbs, I usually wear a large jacket but I went with the medium, too small. The style is nice and I feel like it would fit well had I ordered the large. However, the stripe pattern is very "in your face"...not quite as subtle as the photos seem, I am returning for a different pattern in the Large size. :)

Love the coat but had to return it for a larger size. I weigh less than 130 lbs and normally wear a Medium. I couldn't close the coat over my shorts. Can't imagine if I was wearing jeans or a long top.
I already replaced it with a Large that I will keep, but it's extremely large in the shoulders and chest compared to the hips and thighs. Maybe I'm just built funny for this coat.
It is an excellent value for the money, and Columbia is wonderful about returns.

I am a size 12 and ordered a size L , which would normally be perfect. This jacket was form fitting through the middle with a t-shirt on. There would be no room to wear a sweater in cooler weather. I will exchange for an XL and hope for a better fit.

I ordered this one size up from my usual size because Columbia runs small on me. I like the jacket, Material is a little stiff, but I guess need that to repel rain. I havent worn it yet since I was planning on using it on Canada cruise in the fall. So hopefully will be good for any rain we may encounter. Inside pocket is a plus!

Although this is a high quality coat with great rain protection, I am disappointed at its fit. I am on the small side of XL, and I can hardly zip it closed over lightweight summer clothing. XL bodies are not board straight - they have some curves in the bust or tummy area, and this coat is not shaped accordingly. I wish I'd worn it around the block a few times before tossing the receipt.

Jacket looked nice and I’m sure would be great for the rain but if you are curvy or have larger hips I’d skip this one. Returning because even though I can zip it and everything it’s super tight on my hips and butt and loose everywhere else.

This jacket is super adorable, but the sizing is way off kilter. I ordered based on my measurements, but it wouldn't fit over my hips, bagged at my shoulders, and the sleeves were two inches too long. I wanted so badly for this to work, but I had to send it back without testing it in the real world.

It was a cute jacket but it came in way too snug at the waist. It was too tailored. The fabric pattern was great!

I liked the length and look of this jacket. And the price was right for a discontinued color! I also liked the fact that it had a double zipper. Unfortunately, even though I wear a Medium in practically everything from Columbia, the medium was too tight at the top of my hips. It tapers too soon, and wouldn't fit below my waist and above my butt. So I ordered the Large, thinking that would fit, and it was way too big. I really wanted to keep one of these coats, but the fit wasn't right. I ended up with a Medium Columbia Arcadia coat instead.

This style fit nicely and was comfortable. I live in Houston and was looking for a raincoat that provided breathability. I travel a lot and this jacket is flexible for different environments. I like that it is a little longer and provides more coverage than other jackets.

As someone with long arms I was worried about this not being long enough in the sleeves. This jacket has long enough sleeves! I couldn't be happier with the fit. I look forward to many rainy days to get some use out of it!

I haven't tested it in the rain yet, but the fit is perfect. I am 5' 7" and about 118 lbs. I usually buy a size small in Columbia jackets, and was concerned after reading other reviews that this one might run too small. I'm glad I didn't size up. The sleeves are nice and long and the overall length of the jacket is great. I have plenty of room to wear a sweater underneath if needed.

I bought this jacket for a trip to Australia and New Zealand and it was perfect. New Zealand was cold and it rained several times and this jacket kept me warm and dry. I layered with warm clothes underneath and there was plenty of room and very comfortable. The hood closes up pretty well but it would be nice to have a bit wider of a brim to keep the rain off my face a little more. It's lightweight which makes it great for traveling. I wore it as a wind breaker a couple of times and it worked great. I bought the blue pattern which isn't the best look but it was on sale. I would have preferred a solid color but the only option was black and that was a definite no. A pretty solid blue would be a nice option.
