[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two coats from Columbia and used them both in very windy, very rainy Ireland across two weeks of travel. My review is a direct comparison between this and the other coat I bought (the Venture Days Insulated Jacket). This coat is very warm and kept me dry for my entire trip. Other than doing it's basic job as a rain coat I found myself choosing the other coat over this because the velcro, waist cinch, and hood cinches are wildly annoying and poorly designed. The jacket closure is velcro instead of buttons. I would actually prefer this easier closure option over buttons but the jacket incorporates other features, like the strings for the waist cinch, that are of a material that the velcro also sticks to. Every time I take this jacket off or wear the coat unzipped the ties get stuck to the velcro. This brings me to the issue of the waist ties. They're all ratty from being grabbed by the velcro over and over again. There's nowhere to tuck them out of the way after cinching the waist so they just hang there and if you cinch it a lot then they just get longer, more in the way and inconvenient. Finally the hood. I can't figure out how to effectively cinch it. The weather in Ireland is very off and on so I didn't want to have the hood clinched all the time but when I did want to keep the wind from ripping the hood off it was too difficult to cinch and uncinch. TLDR; I'd skip this one, the Venture Days Insulated Jacket has a more thought-out design and is just as warm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Warm but not too warm for cold, active days outside. Nice length, good hood. Only quibble is the adjustment strings on the inside get stuck on the Velcro closures, but that’s a small issue.

It’s Perfect for the below freezing temps and wind!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this jacket. I love the length, warmth and waterproof shell. I have not worn it a lot yet but I do find it to run a little big but because of being bigger chested this was the best fit givin the size guidelines.

I like the overall fit of the jacket. I do not like all the Velcro that is all over it. I find it annoying that the drawstring that’s supposed to pull in the waist constantly get stuck to the Velcro on the front of the coat and I’m trying to zip up the jacket. I don’t think it’ll be warm enough for winter. I think it’s a two season jacket, spring and fall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect coat for my teen daughter. Warm, and nice enough to be teen cool with out the total winter coat overload look.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this jacket - it provides good wind protection and warmth and is attractive. There has been no opportunity to test its water repellency but expect it will measure up. I’m 5’4” 115# and got a small - perfect! I have only two objections: no inner pockets, and while Velcro is all the rage, I would prefer snaps on the front which don’t get snagged on everything and are much easier to just snap vs aligning the Velcro strips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After all the snow this year, I am really excited to have a performance focused coat that is waterproof! Nice back coverage and weight. Also looks nice enough to wear to work.

Great coat fits. Excellent only complaints. Is the inside tightening straps get stuck in the Velcro otherwise nothing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jacket is warm in damp cool weather without being bulky. It was recommended I order a large, ordered my regular size medium and had no problem wearing a thick sweater with it. As others have mentioned, the drawstring does get caught on the velcro.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very warm, comfortable and lightweight. Waist cinching keeps it from looking too baggy.
