Customer Reviews Columbia Glennaker Lake™ Rain Jacket

I ordered this jacket for rainy riding days. I ordered a large, as I am 6'1" and 190 lbs. When the jacket arrived, it was far too large to wear riding and really too large for everyday use. I would suggest that this jacket is for someone over 6' and probably 230 + pounds. I can't speak to the quality simply because it was far too large to even be able to wear.

Would likely work for most people but it is a bit light for use in any weather other than warm. I would probably have kept mine but Columbia made a mistake and sent me a small size instead of the XL I ordered. Will go back to using the older Columbia rain jacket I have, as it has held up well, like most Columbia products do.

Quality is not up to expectation, columbia has great quality products..

If you are looking to get something for light drizzle and very little physical activity, it should be fine. But if you are expecting to use it in an actual rain, you are going to get completely drenched. Also, it also acts like a suana, example, if you are hiking, you'll drown in your own sweat.

After being in the rain, I could hardly take it off. My arms had gotten wet (it's water resistant not waterproof). It doesn't breathe. And there's no lining. So So it's skin against rubber. Disappointing.

I bought this in large part because I wanted a waterproof jacket to layer over non-waterproof clothes and it says on the attached Columbia tag "waterproof." Two rainstorms later, and the clothes under the jacket got we both timest. The coat (and especially sleeves) allow water through in anything but a pretty light rain. I've had waterproof coats before, and this one definitely is not. Maybe labeling it "water resistant" would be closer to the truth. Very disappointed. The first Columbia clothing item (out of dozens) that truly did not meet expectations. I hope this isn't a sign of where Columbia is heading. If you're looking for a waterproof coat, this isn't it.

It is lightweight, but not breathable at all. Extremely hot, should have mesh throughout the entire lining to help. Should have had elastic around the wrists. Dissapointed with the purchase and I would not buy again.

If you buy one be prepared for a sweaty back. You can do better Columbia

Bought this hoping to stay dry. Half of the jacket was waterproof but my left side got completely soaked. I'm disappointed in Columbia.

sleeves are extremely wide, otherwise fine, good quality

The jacket would have been better with a liner in the sleeves. It does not breathe well at all and feels like a black trash bag on your arms.

This is more like a windbreaker jacket is not worth it for the price I paid

I ordered a XXL and the jacket engulfed me. Unless, you are 6'5" with very long arms and 300lbs or larger. Order a size or two smaller.

I own quite a few Columbia items, but this one runs small. Also it arrived with several threads fraying. Will most likely be returning thus one.

Jacket was decent quality but fit weirdly for a small. The collar was very big and tall...awkwardly so. The sleeves were very balloon like and puffy. Not a great fit. Had to return.

This a well made rain jacket that is easy to store and use at a moment's notice. It does NOT breath. There is NO venting. If you walk at more than a casual pace or wear one of Columbia's fleece jackets underneath and the weather warms up, you find the inside of the jacket wet. Once you take it off the outside seems to dry faster than the inside so hang it up inside out. The zipper placket is light weight and does get caught in the zipper occasionally.

The fit is Ok. It feels clammy and wet if you wear a short sleeve shirt. My real issued is the seam from the shoulder to the chest is not sealed. If you are in a heavy rain, you will get wet.

Actually, I liked it initially because it is very light weight (as advertised). But when I wore it for the first time, I realized that it is waterproof on the inside too, trapping perspiration and making it feel clammy. I would like to return it and get something similar that wicks better.

Finally wore this in a San Diego light rain and my shoulders got wet. Thought I was buying a waterproof product but this was definitely not waterproof. Disappointing.

I wouldn't know since my package has been lost intransit and they have to "complete an investigation" before I can receive a refund.

Nice jacket except in the rain. After being in the rain, my arms were soaked! Maybe it should be a 'water resistant' jacket not waterproof. Never again Columbia!

Is didn't even recive the order neither got refund

I bought this jacket for my husband (5' 10, 180)since he was looking for a colorful rain jacket for an Iceland adventure. As some reviews indicated, this jacket runs big (but also allows for multiple layers. It did seem to do the trick to keep the rain water out, but when he took it off, his shirts underneath were soaked. this jacket is NOT breathable and the inside was soaked with condensation!! I would personally skip this rain jacket for something better!

The description reads in part : durable enough to withstand a downpour at a moment's notice. Absolutely not. My husband said in a steady rain, it was soaked through within minutes, was hot and so wet inside the sleeves stuck to his bare skin.

Did not look like the pictures. Color was different. Also way oversized. Velcro was not good. Looked like something a grandma would wear. Returned it.
