Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Switchback™ Lined Long Jacket

I love the soft, thin lining in this jacket. It's so much better than the mesh! I love the extra length, too. I haven't tried it in a downpour yet, but I'm confident it'll keep me dry. I did have to size up (I can usually wear an xl and have plenty of room for layers in other brands, but have to get a 1x in Columbia). Highly recommend!

Love this jacket bought it for my upcoming trip to England and it's comfy, light and fits well. It isn't a noisy material and the length is great! Great water resistant protection and comfy! Normally wear XL bought but this in case I needed to add another layer under for warmth. Love it

This is a great jacket. I had many back to back business trips recently where the forecast was sunny but it rained in each location. This jacket folded and compressed well in my carry-on bag. It also transitioned nicely from covering my work clothes to tagging along for sight-seeing and more casual evenings. Despite its overall lightweight properties and its soft lining, I was kept nice and dry in the pouring rain. This jacket has nice overall length so my suit jacket and longer blouses' hem lines do not flap in the wind and rain below the length of the jacket. The pockets are nice and deep so I am able to put my wallet in one and my phone in the other for hands-free mobility. The zippers never give me any grief. Finally, I love the color (clear blue). I purposely choose lighter colored jackets for the increased visibility while I am wearing them and so they are easier to spot in a hotel room or rental car.

Great jacket, perfect for the early spring days in Chicago, because it will be warm in the morning and cool in the afternoon. Great length for the coat, I was scared it was going to be to short because I am tall (5"10") but it's a great length. I usually wear a 2x but glad I sized up, I have enough room that I can wear a light sweater underneath if needed. Love the jacket!

Ordered the Wine Berry and Arctic Blue. Originally ordered the XL which was tight in the bust and arm area. Returned for a 2X so that I can wear a fleece underneath. This is not a warm jacket, but will do well for hiking in rain/snow. Love the hood and long length to cover down past hip area.

I love the fit of this jacket, the color is vibrant and fun.

I bought this jacket and color because I am sick of winter. If the sun isn't shining, I will be. The jacket fits great. I tried it on over my favorite oversized sweatshirt and the jacket fits fine. Not tight anywhere, which was a concern for me.

It runs true to size for me and I love the way it fits

Excellent jacket. Lightweight so it is not geared for cold - I bought it for layering and it is fantastic for that. Great for spring and fall and also really good to put under a winter coat for an extra layer! The best feature is that it has a soft lining which prevents "sweating" when working outside.

I love your jackets. Just bought this one for our vacation for the chilly days. Fits perfect ! Very comfortable, practical and looks great !

I purchased this in a size 2x which is the size that I normally wear but had to return it in exchange for a 3x as it was a bit snug around the hips. I am happy with the look, feel, and quality of this jacket. I just received it yesterday and haven't worn it yet but feel it will be just perfect to take on our cruise to Alaska this May. That is what I bought it for but I think it will be a jacket that I wear very often!

What I really love about this jacket is that while being functional it looks good and it is soft and comfortable. The only think is that the elastic string goes only on one side if needed to be pulled and that is not good.

This jacket is comfortable, light weight and fits perfectly. I like the adjustable sleeve to keep out the rain and wind. The outer fabric is soft and moves with me and doesn't crackle, and the lining is soft, light and cozy. Perfect for the beach.

Comfortable to around 40 degrees w moderate wind, looks nice, excellent quality. I wanted something for walking the dog in the Oregon rain that wasn't bulky--the light lining is just right.

Love my new jacket. Fits perfectly and not bulky. It was a great purchase.

Excellent made Great fit

Needs a lightly lined rain coat this fits perfect and is comfortable and functional

Light weight lined long rain jacket. Love the longer length. Lining is soft fleece more like pajama fleece than heavy winter fleece. Says it "highly water resistant", so not fully waterproof but love the feel of the fabric. Not crunchy or noisy like many waterproof jackets. Great for everyday wear and packs pretty small for travel. I got the blue for a size bigger to layer for a Northern European trip. Wish they had navy color.

Since this is longer jacket I was worried about it fitting around my hips but it fits great. Can't wait to try it on my trip to Colorado. Love it!

This jacket is a comfortable rain jacket. It is light, but warm or those chilly days. The size I ordered was perfect for me. Very happy with this purchase. Just ordered one for my daughter. Colors are very pretty.

I was looking for a long light weight rain jacket and this was perfect. I bought the blue and it's a gorgeous color. I wear this jacket all the time.

The jacket fits well, not too snug. I was kind of worried about restricting arm area, but all is well.

Very nice fit for a longer length jacket. It would be nice if it had a double zipper so it could be opened from the bottom when needed. Otherwise, this a really functional and nice looking jacket. I got it in Black.

This is the first Columbia I have bought and I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. I read some other reviews and they were saying it was small so I got the next size up and its a little big but other then that its perfect!!

I purchased to wear on cooler days when camping and fishing. If you're looking to layer clothing may want to purchase a size up, jacket is form fitting. The jacket did keep me dry and warm. I plan on using this jacket on a daily basis in fall and spring perfect weight for cooler days.
