Columbia Women's Discontinued Arcadia II Jacket

I needed a packable raincoat for camping as I’ve been caught in a couple of downpours while setting up and breaking down camp. We were heading into a weekend and the forecast called for heavy rain, so I knew ordering from Amazon may be slim pickings but was impressed to find this at such a great price! I think I got it on sale for around $34. It’s incredibly lightweight however, the morning I wore it, I had a short sleeve shirt on and then a sweatshirt on and felt pretty warm! Main thing is it kept me dry although we didn’t have any downpours as the forecast had called for, so I cannot attest to that at this moment. Just some light drizzle. I really like the zip pockets and that the front zipper comes all the way up to keep your face kind of covered, allowed you to adjust the hood if needed. I’m usually a 2x in tops and sometimes I size up to 3x in jackets for layering room, but this worked perfectly. I was able to zip it just fine with thicker clothes on and move around breaking down our tents and camp without being restricted. Love the bright color-it’s not too bright to be obnoxious neon lol! But just a pretty blue. There’s also Velcro at the cuffs but not quite sure how you’d really adjust those to make it tighter around your wrist without it being uncomfortable? Either way, this did the job I needed it for. I was able to fold it up and it would definitely fit In a backpack for hikes. If you’re plus size and on the fence go for it. I’m also 5’7 around 240 if that helps. I’m a big review reader so I like to be specific to help others make decisions. :)

I purchased this jacket a couple of months ago in Black and in a size Large. For reference I am 5'8" and have a shorter torso and long legs (about 34" inseam). It really got put to the test on a recent camping trip to Montana where it rained sporadically for a couple of days. One day we were on a hike in Glacier National and got caught in the open during a sudden torrential downpour. I am happy to report that my entire upper body stayed DRY!! I even had friends take a photo of me afterwards with the jacke topen to show how dry I stayed. The only part that got wet was at the very top by my neck and collar of my shirt...and that's because I didn't zip the jacket all the way up for the entire rainy spell.Fashion wise the black fit in well with whatever I wore, and honestly, after getting caught in rain like that, fashion was the last thing on my mind 😅 I am SO happy I made this purchase. It was functional, lightweight to travel with, and extremely easy to stuff into my hiking back as a just-in-case item. Without it, I think this recent trip would have been slightly miserable at times. Great buy!!!

I spent Labor Day weekend amusement park hopping and knew in advance to expect afternoon storms. I purchased this jacket specifically for this trip because I’m smarter than the average bear and actually look at that weather app on my phone. So when the skies opened up, instead of running around like the thousands of people scrambling to purchase overpriced plastic garbage bags/ponchos, I grabbed this jacket out of my backpack.First. I am a size 14 and am 5 feet tall with shoes on. I normally wear a large but bought the XL to have extra room. I’m glad I did, because I was able to fit my Lulu cross body underneath with ease, which was helpful because it was raining sideways. The sleeves are adjustable so while they were long, I was able to cinch them around my wrists. The jacket held up to the gusty winds but I didn’t get overheated, even when the rain slowed to a trickle and the humidity felt like a greenhouse.The jacket's zippered pockets really came in handy! I was able to throw my phone in my pocket and not worry about it getting wet, and an added plus is that I could ride the crazy coasters without fear of it falling out.I purchased the white color because it was on sale and am slightly worried about cleaning it when I get home (lipstick got on it) but even if I can’t get it out, I won’t care. This jacket served its purpose well and I couldn’t be happier! I stayed nice and dry, even on water rides.

Packable. Breathable. Definitely kept me dry in heavy rain.

This jacket was perfect for our trip that involved several rainy, cold, and misty days. The sleeves are a little long for a petite woman, but it still worked out fine.

I purchased this for my mom. The color is exactly as pictured. It is light, comfortable, and waterproof. It is the perfect mix of feminine and sporty. Zipper is smooth, it a relaxed fit, and I'm told by her washed easily. The size if you want fitted is true to size but for most jacket purchases I size up and so does she. She wears a medium - large usually. I purchased xl and it was a perfect relaxed fit. She can wear a sweatshirt underneath and still have room. In warmer weather it does not look too big just to wear with a T shirt.

This jacket is great for rain. The hood covers your head well, the sleeves can be adjusted to wrap around your wrists, and the pockets are deep! Columbia products wear well, too. I normally wear size 20-22. I purchased womens 3X. This will allow me plenty of room when I drive even if I put a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. I'm pleased and dry!!

I got several of these in different colors and sizes for a family trip. They fit according to the chart. Light enough to pack, durable enough to stay dry in the rain. Also a nice wind breaker.

Talla corresponde es original color muy lindo

Amazing product by Columbia

Très beau jacket / couleur turquoise splendide/ la grandeur Large parfait! SAUF!!! j'ai dû le retourner car le prix sur l'étiquette du jacquet Columbia marqué $100.00 et Amazone me l'a vendu $106.36. J'ai essayé de négocier la différence de $6.36 + taxe qui me revenait. Et eux on jamais voulu me le rembourser sur une carte cadeau. C'est dommage car une compagnie comme Amazone ne veulent pas négocier, je trouve ça plate en 2024. Cela veut dire toujours vérifier les étiquettes.

Todo me gusto y lo utilice para un regalo

The Product is great. But, if you’re ordering from Canada, the return postage is nearly equal to the cost of the jacket. Beware.
