Customer Reviews Columbia Flashback™ Windbreaker

I needed a light shell for our Puget Sound weather. Even in the summer we are too cool for shirtsleeves. In the fall & spring it will be perfect for all day use. Also it is attractive

very light but shed water well but very cool great for fishing in the Florida rain

After purchasing this item, and others I found that, especially in the Northwest with our rain the coat keep me dry with a comfortable fitting. The only change I might suggest is to have a good that folds up into the collar as on the Northwest we do not believe in umbrella. A little rain on the head is not a bad thing.

I live in Florida and this product has already served as functional for the many rainstorms. However, I primarily purchased this product because I am going to college next year in New York. I already know that this product is going to serve as an incredibly functional outer-layer to protect against cold rain and snow. It is very thin and light, so it won't lay heavy on top of my other layers. I love it!

As far as windbreakers go, this does exactly what you would want. The fit and styling sets it apart. This is very sleek and sporty at the same time. Really like it.

Great jacket! Light weight. Couldn't have bought a better rain jacket! Thank you!

This is a man's jacket bought for me a women. I didn't like the women's plus size jackets so I check the size chart on this man's jacket and it fits perfect. Because this one had so many color options I found this purple/navy color was the one for me. LOVE IT.....

All parties involved states that this is a great jacket. Come on Spring!

I'm very pleased with the product.

I got this in the Shark/Pine Green color and it looks so fresh! This is simply a windbreaker with no lining and water resistant fabric. The water beads off this jacket in light rains and mists, but you'll need a different jacket if you'll be in a downpour. I live in Vancouver, WA and work in Portland, OR and this works fine in typical rainy days here. Excellent to use during hikes! Pair it with a sweater and you're set! I'm 5'10" and 210 lbs and the Large fits me perfectly

Based on other reviews I bought a Medium instead of my usual Large and it fits perfectly. Both sleeve length and waist fit just right. Can't go wrong with this one for buth good wind and light rain protection.

USE MINE FOR CYCLING. RODE IN RAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. STAYED DRY.

I bought four and they wear well. I am kept cool during warm weather and pleasantly warm during air conditioning.

Love it... my only wish is that it would be a little more water repellant but otherwise a great jacket

very light and very suitful

It was a good deal on and item I was looking for. Guys great.

Quality jacket; for a windbreaker. A tuck away hood would get a 5 star rating from me!

I wear this jacket over a sweater when playing golf and anticipating showers

It is a little thinner than I expected, but that makes it easy to roll up and stuff into a bag on the go. It fits my boyfriend well enough with room to layer. It's perfect for chilly hikes where the weather is subject to change at any moment.

Good material, bought as a gift I do recommend

Perfect for spring days.

Quality seems to be ok, jacket is made in Vietnam should that matter to you. The Flashback is very thin (not lined) and lightweight. I have not worn it in the rain, so no opinion on that. The hood is fixed and is not stowable. Elastic cuffs work well. For what it is it's not a bad jacket, however the Glennaker Lake may be a better option if you want a stowable hood and waterproof.

It is good value for your money. Fits good and I enjoy it a lot.

This windbreaker is light weight and not bulky!

Great colors, but not exactly flattering.
