ColumbiaMen's Discontinued Watertight II Jacket

I bought this jacket on a last minute whim for a snow day trip to Tahoe. I have thicker and nicer jackets but they’ve all become less waterproof over the years. This was the only jacket I could find that was affordable with next day shipping that also didn’t look like some big fluffy Sherpa’s parka. I’m also a big guy, and by big I mean fat beer gut dad bod. When it arrived I thought I made a terrible mistake.This jacket is about a hair thicker than a hefty garbage bag. Certainly a jacket this lightweight isn’t going to work well in the snow? I did wear thermal undies, a thick polo shirt and a thin sweater underneath, and this jacket actually kept me dry and warm the entire day in the snow! A beanie under the hood helped as well. The sleeve length is perfect, I think I’m a 33/34, length was perfect just below the waist and it fit over my stomach and zipped up fine. Jacket size was XXL.Amazing jacket for the price.

This jacket held up to the rains of early summer in Switzerland and even was warm enough to hold up for 32°F at the viewing platform of the Matterhorn, with only a T-Shirt underneath. During the rain my clothes underneath stayed dry and it helped wick water away as it fell.The sizing is off by at least one size. I am 5ft 10in and had originally ordered an 2XL. This ended up being way too large and the sleeves bunched up too much looking ragged. I recommend going down a size than what you may anticipate as this seems to run larger.The jacket lining was breathable during some of the warmer periods but could get warm while walking plenty. It stayed comfortable throughout our entire vacation and held up in different temperatures. I did wish there was internal pockets similar to a suit jacket and other brands such as Carrhart but this does the job. Would recommend if you are looking for a good “middle” temperature jacket, rainy days, or as a light jacket.

The jacket kept me dry during a rainy trip to Scotland. I got the large size recommended, and it was a bit loose, but the medium, particularly with a sweater under it, might have been too snug. Not especially attractive, but utilitarian and easy to travel with.

I have several so called waterproof jackets that soak through in a heavy rain. Not this one! I wore this jacket in a downpour and stayed dry. Finally a raincoat that keeps you dry without making you sweat! Fits great and looks good too! highly recomend this jacket.

The rain jacket kept out the rain. It was comfortable and lightweight. The jacket holds up to normal use. The jacket was warmer than I expected, I did not need an under jacket while in 50 degree weather. The jacket also kept the wind and water out while riding fairly fast in the unprotected area of a boat. I do recomend the jacket if you are looking for a good watertight windbreaker.

Excelente!

Husband loves it and it looks great on him. Havent tested it in pouring rain yet. But we usually love Columbia jackets.

Es justo lo que ofrece, impermeable pero no necesariamente caliente.

Me gustó mucho la chamarra, tal cual la muestran, cabe mencionar que viene amplia puedes pedir una talla menos que lo que acostumbras normalmente y te quedará bien 👍

Muy bien entregar y talla G perfecta
