Customer Reviews Columbia Pardon My Trench™ Rain Jacket

Really nice fit; I like the more fitted design and belted look makes it a little more chic. However, was looking for something heavier. It’s a nice shell. I returned, but would keep it if I needed a lightweight shell.

The rain jacket is nice but runs a little small and quite thin with ko insulation so its a good rain jacket but won't keep you warm if its windy.

I like the style and neutral color of this jacket. I had to exchange from an XL to an L, and the sleeves are still too long. I can use the Velcro to keep them from covering my hands, but then the sleeves look puffy due to excess fabric. I'm 5'3" and have a problem with the length of sleeves on all Columbia jackets. However, I still like the jacket and am keeping it.

Material is lightweight and comfortable, not as warm as ai had hoped. Sizing is slightly small, but if you like a stylish fitted style, definitely good. The tie at the waist is heavier material which doesn't crinkle or twist (awesome!) like other fashionable belts often do. Reference: height 67in weight 127lb, athletic frame

This jacket has definitely become one of my favorite jackets to grab out of my closet. I live in Chicago and I have worn this jacket for 45 to 65 degree weather. It's light enough but still gives great protection against wind and rain!

Absolutely Love this coat, super cute and comfortable and the belt makes it even more stylish. Very lightweight so it's best to wear on warmer days that call for a light jacket. I got this coat in the olive color and while it looks dark on the site it's a tad bit lighter, overall great coat.

Order arrived quickly. Rain coat is very light, great for traveling. The fathom blue adds a splash of bright color on raining days.

I'm 5'9" and weigh 132. I normally wear a size 6 and I ordered the medium just so I'd have a little extra room. So far so good. I didn't have any problems with it fitting around my hips. The length was just right. I've used it once and it protected me from getting wet.

Love the jacket styling, but runs a little tight in the hips. Would size up!

This is a nice looking rain jacket. I love it!

Had looked all over for this type rain jacket for a trip to Ireland and Scotland during May 2020. Had bought and returned a couple from other manufacturers. Perfect fit to size, length what we wanted, and waterproof.

I have not worn it since it did not rain yet in this part of California. But it looks really pretty and I am glad I got the raw honey color because it is bright and easily seen especially if it is going to rain and Ill be in the parking lot or what not. The fabric is thin so I am not sure how it will hold ip if the rain will be heavy though. We will see :)

I ordered this coat for my in law. Looks nice.

I thought it wasn't that thin, but it's really good, it fit perfect and the color is really beautiful. I'm anxious that it rained so i can use it.

All of my Columbia jackets and coats are a large. Thanks to other reviews, I ordered this in extra large. Glad I did. The XL fits perfect. This only thing I don't care for is the belt. It is stiff and odd feeling. I'm going to wash it and see if it softens up.

This jacket is great for work when I need to run out to another office in the rain and do not need a large coat just water protection from the rain. The color is great and I love the double function zipper!

I got this raincoat, as the other folks who'd purchased it claimed it kept their body dry. I like the blue color and the small details like a flat presentation over the zipper, secured by snaps, the smart wide belt, and the velcro on the sleeves. I am waiting to test it out, so I cannot say what its reliability is when facing a Portland winter. As for fabric and fit, the material is soft and not crunchy-sounding when walking; it both fits well, has the smart below-the-hip length, and looks good when walking about as well as standing. The only suggestion I'd make for its designers is to flare out the bottom of the jacket more, so that it is less confining and doesn't bunch up when sitting. This latter comment is the sole reason for not rating the raincoat much higher.

I like the colour (honey), that the material is light, and that the jacket comes with a hood. It's also nice that it cinches around the waist. The only reason is loses a star is because it doesnt give the perfect flattering shape, but it's a as close as I've found so far for a sporty rain jacket.

Fits well, looks good, I like the hood. The wrist tightening velcro is a little loose for my small wrists. This is a good size to wear layers underneath. I've worn a few times during heavy rain, and it kept me dry overall.

The jacket is cute and fits nicely. However, if you're looking for a warm rain coat, this is not the rain jacket for you. This jacket is Thin!! Like super thin. I haven't worn it in the rain yet (it hasn't rained since I got the jacket) but I am interested to see how it holds up. It's "stylish" for a rain jacket, But again super super thin. This will not keep you warm.

I love everything about this rain coat except the arm length is too long. Im 5'6", 145 lbs & ordered a Large. Great looking raincoat that can be dressed up or worn casual!

I haven't had a chance to wear yet but I can tell you that they run smaller than it appears just like another rainjacket I got from Columbia. It's snug and you would not be able to wear anything thicker than a t-shirt underneath comfortably unless you go a size up. I do love the coloring. Got the dark purple. Haven't decided if I'm returning yet.

My regular size in Columbia jackets is a Small. However this jacket ran slightly snug in the hip and shoulders. Not sure if going for a medium would have worked or would have been very loose for me, So I returned the jacket. I was told by a shopping associate on phone that this in an active cut hence has a more snug cut than the Heavenly hooded jackets from Columbia. I have that is a Small size. Also, it would be nice if they gave some dual color options in these jackets than they being a single color. Did not ever use it in rain, but my guess is it would work fine.. Columbia please improve your zips, they get stuck very easily and is an irritating part of wearing the jackets. Else good style and quality,

Love the way it look on me. Fit well and keep water off . Prefect for Pacific Northwest weather.

It was stylish, light and functional. I wish the bottom was wider or with a slit. For that reason, I gave it a 4 stars.
