    5.0 out of 5 starsColumbia Quality and Performance (but)...
    By lawdog on May 23, 2014
    Size: 3X BigColor: Black Verified Purchase
    This jacket will keep you dry. Columbia makes excellent products and this rain jacket is no exception. "Breathable" makes a huge difference.

    A few things to note:
    1. The jacket I received has a normal fit (3XL). I wouldn't say it fits too big or too small.
    2. The description includes a zippered chest pocket. This is a misprint from the first Watertight jacket. That jacket has a third pocket on the chest. This Watertight II jacket does not... inside or out... no chest pocket. I went to Columbia's website and their pictures also don't show the chest pocket, but lists it in their description (sent them a heads-up).
    3. The hood is adjustable with drawstrings, but doesn't have the velcro loop to roll-up the hood like the first Watertight jacket.
    4. Where the first Watertight jacket is packable into a pocket behind the main zipper, this Watertight II jacket is packable into either hand pocket. There's a little label at the entrance of the left-hand pocket that says "packable." Just put your hand into the pocket, pull it inside-out and pack the jacket into the inside-out pocket. EZ. You can zip it closed when you're finished, but it's a bit of a pain to unzip it because the zipper pull will be inside when it closed.

    It's a comfortable rain jacket and doesn't get hot inside while wearing it. The chest pocket would've been nice for a cellphone or MP3 player; otherwise, I'm happy with it.

    1.0 out of 5 starsThe 2015 version of this Jacket is not a true TALL size (Short in the sleeves)
    By methylamine on April 2, 2014
    Size: Large TallColor: Black Verified Purchase
    June 2015 Review:

    Do not buy. They changed the cut of the jacket. The large tall leaves my wrist and forearms exposed. (I lost the jacket this June and ordered another one since I loved it so much) Originally when I purchased the jacket in 2014 it fit really well. The sleeve length was perfect. In 2015 they changed something and it should no longer be called a "tall" size as the sleeves are shorter by more than 2 inches.

    My fellow lanky brethren you know the struggle of finding clothes that fit you right. Unfortunately Columbia changed their fitting/sizing for this jacket and it's no longer suitable for those with long sleeve lengths.

    April 2014 review:

    This jacket fit well on a 6'4" 215 lb person with 38" sleeve length.
    It's very light and I would only use this during spring and early fall. I walked 8 NYC blocks in a down pour and the shirt I was wearing underneath the jacket was completely dry.
    Very happy with this purchase.

    5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Customer Service; Ordered the 3X, turned out too big ...
    By J. D. I on July 30, 2015
    Size: 2X BigColor: Black Verified Purchase
    Ordered the 3X, but it turned out too big for me; returned it and waiting on 2X.

    However, I called Columbia Customer Service (great service btw), and they gave me the exact measures for the jacket, as the size charts on Amazon and on the Columbia website itself are generic. Here's the info they gave me, hopefully it'll help others (see picture).

    Size - Chest - Waist - Sleeve Length - Center Back Length
    XXL - 60.0" - 57.0" - 39.5" - 31.0"
    1X Big - 57.0" - 55.0" - 37.0" - 30.0"
    2X Big - 61.0" - 59.0" - 38.0" - 31.0"
    3X Big - 65.0" - 63.0" - 38.75" - 31.0"

    Cheers!

    3.0 out of 5 starsHefty bags. Glad bags. This raincoat.
    By Etude on December 7, 2015
    Size: 3X TallColor: Windswept Verified Purchase
    If you've ever wondered what it's like to wear a very warm, waterproof garbage bag around your torso, worry no more! Columbia has you covered.

    The fit: I am a 6'4, 240lb man, so I am by no means average size. I did not expect this to fit perfectly, aaasand it did not. It's a bit snug around the wrists, possibly because I have giant, ape-like arms. The sleeves don't come quite down to my hands, but I cut it some slack because of my simian body structure. The back and shoulders, however, fit delightfully well, and this doesn't often happen with someone of my large size. A bit of a mixed bag there, overall.

    The outer material: trash bag chic. Not only does it have the exact same texture and hot, un-breathable fiber feeling of a garbage bag wrapped around your torso, but it even SMELLS like one. Thankfully it doesn't smell like a *used* one, so we'll call that a small victory and move on. This rubbery, plastic fabric might not look (or smell or feel) good, but it sure keeps the rain out like no one's business. I've worn it in and out of a rainstorm already, and I will definitely be keeping it for when it's stormy outside. However, any temperature above 60 or without precipitation? I will keep this thing stored in drydock, trust me. I got so sweaty thanks to the claustrophobic trashbag feeling it left on my skin that I felt like it should have a "do not let children play with it" warning label like kitchen trash sacks do.

    The inner material: A weird, black fabric mesh that seems to be polyester or ancient spider webs, I'm not sure. While I don't personally find it cozy, it at least keeps you warm, which is probably more important in the long run. Still, nothing in this jacket screams "ooh, soft and comfy" and I kind of want my clothing to be at least one of those things.

    The verdict: Great as a raincoat. Okay as a cold weather jacket. Terrible as anything else. Possibly adequate for storing your garbage inside.

    5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect outer shell / travel jacket for moderate cold or any rain.
    By *BSSD* on August 5, 2014
    Size: 2X BigColor: Graphite Verified Purchase
    Got this as a pack jacket to take on business trips. Would look ok with anything and keep the rain off when I get stuck in a storm. It folds into nearly nothing and is a good light windbreaker/rain coat.

    Took it to AK as a light outer shell while on a recent fishing trip and it worked excellent! Very happy with this buy and worth the cost.

    Some folks had issue with the sleeves popping out of the cuffs when putting it on. I did too but it was really not an inconvenience given that the light internal mesh is there for breathability and if you were to sew it in somewhere along the arm you might be giving up water tightness.
