ColumbiaWomen's Switchback Lined Long Jacket

I was looking for a lightweight jacket to wear in Florida on 3 to 5 mile outdoor walks. This jacket is the perfect weight to break the wind, repel light rain and stay warm on cool mornings and evenings. I think it’s also a nice summer weight rain jacket. The fit is fine but as others have mentioned, the sleeves are long and the velcro straps are not as perfectly positioned for a tight fit around the wrists to hold the sleeves above the hands but, its long enough to cover the bum I’m trying to walk off and it fits well over my hips and it zips without being too snug. It’s a lined windbreaker/raincoat-the inner lining is more to keep moisture away from your skin than add warmth. It’s exactly what I was looking for and it’s the third Columbia jacket I’ve purchased. All are thoughtfully designed and well made.

I will be using this while om an Alaskan cruise hopefully it keeps me dry. Nice and lightweight but still warm at the same time. Lots of color options, very vibrant colors. Nice size pockets that zipper close.

You want a jacket that's comfortable, lightweight, and stylish? This is a must buy for real. You can wear it long or short. It fits true to size and you can also wear a light sweater underneath if needed. It has two drag strings to wear it either way. It's a nice spring and or fall jacket. Highly recommended 10/10!!!!

This is a nice, warm water resistant jacket. The description says waterproof, but the Columbia website says it is only water resistant. "This long jacket can handle day-long drizzles with a water resistant nylon shell and soft fleece lining." The sleeves are not elastic, but they are adjustable. The sleeves are really long on me, but I'm 5'1" and curvy and ordered a Large to fit my chest and hips but that's kind of par for the course for me.

I got this jacket in size XL. My weight is 180 lbs and growing, height is 5' 6". It fits great over hoodie with some room, and lower back/butt coverage is a big plus in windy weather. I'd say it's true to size. The lining is very thin, but jacket is surprisingly warm for me. Great fall/spring option. I would recommend it.

great fit but bought a large when I usually buy a medium. light weight and comfortable

The raincoat was too tight.

Fits true to size. Nice weight, not too heavy. Great rain jacket.

Muy bonito y abrigador

Muy práctico para días lluviosos

Hay que comprarlo un poco más grande su su talla o más bien checar bien en la tabla de tallas. La chamara salió excelente!

Cómo y suave, está grande Pero nada que afecte

I found this columbia jacket as a warehouse deal. It was a navy blue, just what i was looking for. I normally take a 2x this was supposed to be a 3x, wonderful, i can pack sweaters underneath on cold rainy days. Lucky for me, it had to have been sized wrong, as it fits me perfectly, although it says 3x. The jacket is lined with a soft material, thats thick enough just to take the edge off on a cold rainy day. I have worn it in quite a heavy down pour and it did not soak through. I like the back that comes down a little lower than the front, so the jacket is not riding up your back, like a lot of others. There are two fairly deep pockets, one on either side, but no inside pocket, which is too bad, but not a deal breaker. This is a perfect spring/fall jacket, light weight, warm and waterproof.
