I previously had an unlined Columbia rain jacket, and I hated the wet, sticky, steamy feeling I got after wearing it for just a few minutes. This jacket has a full mesh lining, which seems to have solved that problem! While I haven't worn it in a downpour yet, it has done well repelling a few spring showers. The bright Geranium color is pretty and cheerful. I appreciate the zip pockets. Size-wise, I have always found Columbia jackets to run a bit small. I wear a 1X in most things, but I got a 2X in this. It fits comfortably with room to layer underneath. The sleeves are a little long, but that's a problem I always have. I probably wouldn't have paid the full sticker price for this, but since I caught it more than 50 off it was a great purchase.
