This is a nice-looking jacket, waterproof, but it doesn't breathe. That makes it hot to wear in mild weather.

I was disappointed when I got this jacket. There is basically no lining to the jacket. There is a mesh vent for your back but no lining anywhere else. All the pockets are exposed, as is all the stitching. Every time I take it off I feel like I'm taking off a garbage bag with the pocket lining flapping everywhere.

It protects well from the rain, but it is far too flimsy for typical spring weather and temperature. The jacket looks nice from the outside, and has 4 pockets, but there is no comfort at all. I may have been expecting too much because of amazon's previous amazing deals on jackets, but in this case you get what you pay for.

I drove all over town looking for a light summer rain jacket and couldn't find any I liked for under $80. I found this one on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It arrived a month ago and I love it! Its the perfect weight for those summer rain storms, has a great vent in the back to keep you cool, and the fit is excellent. Columbia really did their research on the fit. The hood fits nicely into the collar without being too heavy around your neck when you have it stored. The price is amazing too. It shocked me when I opened the box and saw a $49 price tag hanging from it when I payed $20 less than that! Great, great jacket.

If you are in heavy rains for a couple of hrs then this jacket is not recommended. It does keep you dry in light rain.
Its light weight so ideal for backpacking.

This is a good jacket for carrying along on hikes for contingencies as it packs small, has 3 zippered pockets, a stowable hood, is waterproof and windproof, and looks great. But it is definitely NOT one that you would want to wear routinely while active because it is not breatheable. I carry it on my bike in case it rains, but if ever I have to put it on my arms and shoulders are dripping in no time. It is vented which helps a bit with the chest and shoulder areas, but not the arms. NOT a good deal anywhere close to the retail price, but at a closeout price under $20 I'd get another one.

This is actually a very good jacket in nearly every way. But it's designed as a rain jacket, and for that it's missing one very important thing: a storm flap over the zipper. Wind-driven rain seeps through the zipper and you end up with a wet stripe down your torso.

Its a very light windbreaker, i expected something with some kind of insulation but i still kept it since it does come in handy and it was a great price. Just keep it mind it has no insulation at all and if thats what you want its perfect for you.

Men's Cougar Peaks Jacket. I couldn't like it much more, even though it isn't lined. First, I ordered the Tusk color and after it came, I liked it so much that I ordered the Carbon color. I like the two inside pockets and the three on the outside. I'll get a lot of wear out of these. They're great for our weather in the Seattle area and they will be great when I travel. If additional warmth is needed it's easy put on a nice sweater underneath. Great fit. Glad I have two of these now.

I got this for a good deal on Amazon($20). It's basically a waterproof windbreaker. Doesn't help at all when it's cold outside(in the 30's) but it's nice when it's a little warmer. Lots of pockets!!!!

Fits well, constructed nicely, good price.
A pleasant surprise was that it has three zippered outer pockets and two inside pockets.
My only complaint relates to a rubbery feel on the inside surface of the nylon and that the fabric doesn't breath.
