Very nice jacket, Im very impressed with it. Not quite as waterproof as I was hoping but a very sharp looking and nice fitting jacket. Runs a little larger than normal, but the longer arms are welcome. Very much worth the money.

I am very happy with this jacket. I needed a new spring jacket and this works very well. True to size. I have not been in the rain with it just yet however the fabric will not absorb the water thats for sure. If your looking for a spring/fall jacket this would be great.

This jacket is the perfect weight. It has been great to the mid 20's and the water resistance is no joke.
Just as the picture portrays you may get annoyed by the collar as it always seems to be in your face on the right side. Maybe over time this will get better.

This is a nice jacket for cool weather, not cold. It is similar to a fleece jacket, but it is slightly warmer and it seems to be a better windbreaker. The outer shell reminds me of the cloth fabric found in some car seats. Sizes seem to run a little on the large side. The jacket is machine-washable and the two side zipper pockets are nice. There is also an inside pocket in the jacket. Personally, I believe this jacket should be in the $35 to $40 price range, but with free shipping this was a good deal.

Lightweight yet warm. Good for layering if really cold, or by itself when 20 deg+.

I live in North Carolina and this jacket is great for cool and/or windy, rainy days. Repels water fine and the soft liner keeps you warm. Just be aware that this jacket repels water, it is not a rain coat nor does Columbia claim it is.

Super comfortable, great looking jacket that I could wear for work, going out, running to the store, whatever. I unfortunately lost mine, but I'll definitely buy a second. Water resistant, not water proof, but a must have for the Minnesota climate where you could need a lightweight jacket like this literally any day of the year.

I ordered this jacket for spring/fall wear. It's perfect. Waterproof, windproof, and if layered, good for 35 degrees and up.

Pros:
-The black version has a nice dark green/black sheen to it and looks sharp.
-In light rain, the water beads off of it.
-Wrinkle-free, light weight and flexible material.

Cons:
-Arm length is a bit long.
-Strong winds cut through it like butter.

Great for chilly mornings and evenings. Perfect "just in case" jacket to carry around.

My husband loved the jacket I purchased for his birthday and I loved the price. He had looked in several local stores with no luck. We own an automotive battery distributorship and the sulfuric acid will eat through most fabric, not the polyester! The jacket is lightweight and looks GREAT! Thanks for a product I can recommend!
