Columbia  Ampli-Dry II Shell Jacket - Men's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jacket fits well, is lightweight and is very waterproof - perfect for the weather here in Portland, OR.

If you are looking for a solid raincoat that you can wear for years - this is not it. 1st few wears are OK; I stayed dry. But the more it lands in the back seat of the car or gets rolled up and stuffed in a corner, the water proofing wore out and it became a sponge. I've had it about a year. I was out yesterday in a moderate rain and the seam to the hood across the back of my neck felt absorbed and soaked in water. I was wet inside within 10 minutes. I paid a lot of money for this jacket and it failed the test of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unexpectedly probably one of my favorite windbreakers now. initially was looking for a slightly thicker and lined windbreaker or rain shell that I had bought from Columbia a few years back but this was way better. Very comfortable and form fitting. Enough stretch that it doesn't feel restricting even with another layer under. Lightweight, breathable, great quality. Have already used it for a local hike with 58 degree weather and some light rain and it kept my dry and cool. Had to go back and get a 2nd.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had bought a large at first but it was way too big for me, but since I liked it otherwise I returned that one and bought a medium that fit me pretty well. It's very lightweight and packs well, plus the pockets and hoody along with the arm pit openings make it a very useful jacket to have. I'm in CA so I haven't tested its water resistance yet but I imagine it's good too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the color, the hood, the zipper and quality of material. The only thing I’d change and why I put 4 stars instead of 5 is that the arm sleeves are very wide, especially at the wrist and I feel a little dorky using the Velcro straps so tightly wrapped. Wish it was slimmer and/or cinched at the wrist.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid rain shell that has a pleasing tactile feel. I like that it has three features that are not normally found together: pit vent, chest pocket and no Velcro zipper front with water proof zipper.

This jacket is durable and well assembled. The fit and finish are top notch. The hood has enough adjustments so it can be customized so the face opening will fit anyone.

Great feeling jacket and it looks great, but as a 5’8 guy, the sleeves are about 4” too long. This makes the arms look incredibly baggy and makes it unwearable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits well and quality made. When zipped almost to top, it rubs at chin, but is okay when totally zipped. Would buy again and recommend to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly a really good rain jacket, it can be breathable. I wear a medium and the arms are a tiny bit too long but, but its still a nice fit
