I walked to a friend's during a down pour, stood at the door for 4 minutes. Once in and peeled off coat, I was dry as can be... also had the 3x rain pants..rebel roamers...excellent fit over my sweats

I like that jacket is light weight and keeps me dry.

super resistente

Compliments in Ireland wearing this waterproof and breathable jacket.

I used it on an Alaska trip recently. Intermittent rain, but I stayed dry with it.

Corta viento, y proteccin de lluvia

Pros:Good color and quality of materialKeeps you DRYEasy to adjust the hoodGood zipper and hook and loop everywhereCons:Wish it had better ventilation optionsMaterial is so good at keeping water off that it might be a little too stiff at times

Fit well! I love the fact it can be folded into a small size and stored in its own inner pocket. Definitely would recomend for rainproof, lightweight travel.

Bought this for my husband who works in and out of grocery stores as a vendor. He says it fits nice and loose so he can move easily. It doesn't breathe, but it's water tight so that doesn't lend well to breathability. Altogether a nice jacket

This is my 3rd Columbia Watertight Jacket. (I wanted them in additional colors) The quality and fit is fantastic. Other non-Columbia waterproof jackets I have owned have fallen apart and lost their ability to wick water away. Even my first Columbia Watertight jacket from a few years back is still going strong.Highly recommend.

Protects well from wind and rain as well as being lightweight

On our trip to Ireland, my husband needed a light weight rain jacket. This jacket packed easy and looked great on him.

Good for what you pay.

Nice rain jacket.

This jacket is great for pretty much any condition. I'll wear it when it's 50 and cloudy, any time it's raining, and it doesn't get super hot and sticky when it's warm and rainy outside. Great buy.

I really like the jacket. Haven't had the chance to test it in a lot of rain, but it has done great in the light rain.I got the small size and it fits perfectly. Loose on the body, upper thigh length and arms are perfect to cover up the wrists.Really happy with my purchase!

Fits well and repels rain thus far. However, have not had an opportunity to test in a downpour yet.

I looked at almost 100 jackets in stores and websites before I decided on the Columbia Men's Watertight II Jacket, and I was not disappointed. Here are the features I wanted and how well they satisfied my needs:WHAT I WANTEDI live near the ocean where mist, spray, and rain are playing all the time. Also, I'm planning a trip near the Rhine River where I expect it to be raining almost constantly. I wanted a light, combination windbreaker and rain jacket that I could pack in little space and rely on to keep me dry.WEIGHTMy Columbia Men's Watertight II jacket weighs 15 ounces on my digital scale. That's fine.WATERPROOFINGMy Columbia jacket has been out in some heavy rains, without any leaks. The sealed seams kept out the weather, the hood and cuffs didn't leak, and I stayed dry.THE HOODThe nylon hood is large, and better worn over a cap. It adjusts with an elastic cord held tight in rubber washers. It keeps the wind away and blocks the rain well. If you pull the cord tight, it closes up the area under your chin.THE ZIPPERThe fine zipper keeps the jacket closed up and over your chin. Small patches of Velcro on the storm flap protect from sideways-blowing wind and rain. An elastic cord in a tensioner keeps the bottom loose or tight around your body.As in all other light jackets I have owned, you have to guide the zipper over folds in the fabric. If you grab it at the bottom and give it a John Wayne heave, it will get caught.THE SLEEVESThe sleeves are plenty long and close with Velcro bands, so wind and rain don't sneak in. The sleeves are lined right down to the cuffs, with netting and a double layer of nylon. Whatever your arm length, the Velcro bands will keep the cuffs where you want them.THE POCKETSThere are two large mesh-lined side pockets with zippers under flaps. One of them has a double zipper so you can stuff the jacket inside the mesh pocket, leaving a zipper pull outside.BREATHABILITYOn windy days, the jacket keeps me warm, especially with a sweater underneath. I haven't found myself perspiring as in nonbreathable fabric jackets. The coated nylon fabric is backed by an open mesh. When you move your arms and torso, air trapped inside the jacket vents, improving ventilation. If you want more ventilation, unzip the mesh pockets, and open the bottom.WINDPROOFINGWith the hood, sleeves, and bottom shut, the wind cannot leak inside. Several times on windy days, I thought it was calm and opened the zipper only to find the wind whipping through.RECOMMENDATIONSThis Columbia Men's Watertight II jacket meets my requirements, and I look forward to wearing it around town and carrying it on my rainy trip. If what I've written appeals to you, you'll like it too.

It's easy to pack easy to wear for traveling

Great fit !! Nice color and waterproof.
