Customer Reviews Columbia Flashback™ Windbreaker

It is a great product, covers 100% its functions. My only concern is the size. I am size L in everything I use, so I ordered an L size (Viewing the size chart and confirming it should fit be alright) but it runs too big, so I recommend you to choose a smaller size of the one you pretend.

Very light and comfy!

I have rain/hiking jackets but wanted a very light weight summer light rain jacket for around town etc. This jacket fits the bill..and great price.

I love the jacket but it doesn't warm up like any other windbreaker/rain jacket.

every things as shown but the one thing missing was the laces at the bottom of the jacket. fits good,go one size down for a snug to body feel and true to size if you want a regular loose not big nor snug. just right kind of feel. any larger is preference

the jacket was just what i was looking for but once i received it and what i was going to use it for the weight of it was too lite , i need a jacket with a lining so I returned shipped it and will be looking for another one with a some kind of lining in it

As shown in the picture. Really like the material too.

The Sleeves are a little short for me. Excellent at stopping both wind and rain. Doesn't keep in heat. Recommend wearing a hoodie underneath it will keep you warm in like 20 degrees and looks fresh

I love the coat but it runs fairly big. I chose to get a small and it fits like a medium.

The look is sharp (I purchased black) but like a lot of Columbia clothing, it's oversized. When it's zipped up and the drawstring is tied the material around the stomach bunches up. I feel like I have to constantly pull it down so it doesn't pop out. Otherwise, it seems to be wind and water resistant and will be a good addition to my Spring clothes.

Good quality. Worth it!

Fits pretty roomy, so definitely a wind/rain protector for even cool weather when layered. Style was decent and so was quality. Fit, though roomy, was fine (seems like it supposed to be roomy). But the fact it’s a fixed hem at the waist is a deal breaker for me. Who likes a jacket grabbing their hips all day - and how hard is it to put an elastic cord on these things? If you’re going fixed hem, then add buttons as well so it can be worn loose on the bottom if desired. Or even just a second zipper like parkas. Returned.

Extremely light weight, so I keep my old one and thru this on in the travel trailer.

Very large on the bottom. No pull string

The product name caught my eye and I bought it. Turns out its not a windbreaker though. It protects well against breeze and rain, but not wind.

Lighter than expected. Product states that there is a mesh liner. However, the liner is only in the pockets. The zipper appears flimsy and not designed to be zipped quickly. This jacket would be a great summer or early fall wind breaker. I have larger than average shoulders that don't always fit well in jackets and coats, but this jacket was a great fit.

Everything good about jacket except poor quality zipper. Sad, but is light weight good in wind and rain, but have to slip it over your head to get it off most of the time.

Nice lightweight windbreaker. No problem with the quality or workmanship. HOWEVER, I was disappointed in how the jacket just hangs, and has a tendency to fall off my shoulders if not zipped at least part way.

The look is not as great as in the picture. The fabric is just ok. I dont know why all the picture looks larger and stronger than real.

IMO: This jacket was a let down. I have other similar jackets from warehouse clubs that are more substantial, have more pockets, and are a fraction of the price. I expected more form Columbia. To me its a very "cheap" imitation of my old Columbia Windbreakers.

This fit well and I liked the style, but the material felt like it would rip easily. Returning.

This jacket is as thin as paper!! if this is what you're looking for then this is great, but if you want a jacket with a little more substance to it then look at a different option.

Material paper thin, without strings for the hood it feels cheap. Size is overall a good fit.

This is a really poor quality product. Very very thin material that would rip easily. I was really disappointed as Columbia products are normally well made. The tag says $60 ..they sold them for $20 ..I think they might be worth $10. They charge $6.00 for return.....?

One of the pockets tore out after less than six months. I have a cheap off-brand windbreaker that has lasted for over a decade, but not this Columbia one. To make matters worse, I bought a second Columbia windbreaker in a different style and the pocket tore out of it too! Columbia used to be good quality but not anymore. I'm done with them.
