Columbia Men's Flash Challenger Anorak Anorak

It’s just as described, great.

Really good for wind also good water repellent for drizzle

I ordered this windbreaker jacket for my husband who was looking for a lightweight breathable outdoor jacket.I ordered the black colour and the large size. He's 6 foot tall and slim and this fits true to size. The jacket does come in a variety of attractive colours however my husband wanted the neutral colour.The feel of the jacket on is one of comfort and the material means that rain and water just flies straight off it. The design of this jacket with a half zip means that its put on like a jumper/hoodie. It has an elasticated hood and cuffs which are flexible so you can adjust to your personal preference and the pockets are a decent size. It also has a UPF factor of 40 so you feel protected from the sun and other elements.Overall this is a decent jacket and my husband is pleased with it. At the current price of £36.00 it’s good value for money and he would happily recommend.

Looks great, nice outer layer but only as a wind breaker. Light rain goes through after 15min

The media could not be loaded. main reason: doesn't protect from rain. see image of my clothes hanging after cycling in the rain for 2030min on my way to work.zíper doesn't go all way down, difficult to put it on and off, design strategy for cut cost?hoodie is always hanging, dangerous if you are doing outdoors sports/climbing in windy condition, blocks my visión.so not happy at all with wind/waterproof design. cheap stuff sold expensively by the brand "Columbia"

Love the coat, does the job got it half price at £25 so was happy enough.

I ordered a larger than normal sized version of this jacket as an option to wear over other clothes to give some protection from rain etc. It's ideal for that purpose as it's very lightweight and relatively simple to put on quickly and the sizing worked as I'd hoped. The description of it being sun-proof, tied in with the lightweight nature, also makes it a good option to wear over a T-shirt while out walking to avoid sunburn.It seems well made and I can see it getting a lot of use in both summer and winter - so recommended.

Bit strange this jacket, it doesn't have normal elastic toggles on the neck to adjust the collar, it has well two laces, which is a pain to tie, when you are putting it on for a run you either tie it too tight and choke yourself, or not tight enough and the hood starts flapping everywhere, the same applies if your trying to keep the hood up of its raining, also the stitching on the wrist, is just terrible it's all twisted and doesn't sit on your wrists properly, the big through pocket is a good feature, but that's about it, would I buy this again, NoOne last thing, I got a large and it's absolutely huge on me.
