Columbia  Hikebound II Long Jacket - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Dark Stone jacket in a medium size. I was concerned about the sizing because I’m 5’1”, but it looks fantastic. The color makes it stand out from a regular rain jacket, and the fabric and adjustments (waist, hood, sleeves) are perfect, giving it a fitted yet stylish look. The double zipper is a must-have for any jacket below the hips. Although it doesn’t claim to be packable, I think it is if you fold the sides toward the center (with sleeves) and then roll it to the hood, folding the hood over. I’m excited to use this jacket during my upcoming trips to Europe, whether I’m exploring the city or going on a trail adventure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the color and how flattering this jacket is! An XXL is mid-thigh length for me at 5'7" and a pear shaped body. I do keep zipping the inside cords up into the zipper.

This jacket was a must have during my trip to Iceland. Used it during rainy days and for the waterfall tour!

Let me start by saying the IRON color is stunning - it’s a beautiful neutral that you don’t see very often. I am 5’3, 125 lbs, and normally wear a size small. However, I purchased a medium in this jacket so that I would have plenty of room to layer underneath. The length is exactly what I was looking for, and with the ability to cinch the waist (obsessed with this feature, SO flattering), you can make the jacket as form fitting as you’d like. The sleeves were pretty large, but I just tightened them up with the Velcro adjustment at the wrist and rolled them up a couple times, and problem solved. I haven’t tested it outside in the rain yet, but I don’t foresee there being an issue. 10/10 recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this coat to windy Iceland and it was great! Long body and long sleeves are amazing! I like that you can tighten strings inside the coat to have the option to make the jacket more fitted. It was much more flattering than having the typical boxy coat and made it warmer to wear. The drawstrings, however, catch on the velcro closings of the front and stick, snag, etc., strings with a coating that do not snag would be a vast improvement. In general, I hate velcro and could do without the velcro closings on the front of the jacket. I guess it's to keep wind away from the front zipper but I'd prefer snaps or toggles, etc., that wouldn't need to always be used and wouldn't snag the interior drawstrings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had another Columbia Rain jacket and left if on a plane. I researched many rain jackets for what I wanted and ended up going with Columbia again. I wanted it "longish", rain proof of course but also warm, zippered deep pockets, and a nice hood with good fastening abilities around the face. I just got back from an Alaskan cruise and wanted it specifically for this trip and an Antarctica one I have in January. It was perfect, performed well in all areas I wanted it to. I ordered an X Large in order to enable it to allow bulky sweaters and layers and it did the job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Material is great. The only thing for me is that I’m 5’3 so the sleeves are too long for me. I did hike on the rain with this rain jacket and it was very efficient.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits perfectly. Definitely keeps the rain out. Not too warm so as to be able to wear it even in the summer rain of the UK.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this jacket. It's a perfect weight to layer warmth underneath, or keep yourself cool on warm rainy days. It fits beautifully. I prefer light colors for visibility in stormy conditions, so I got the white/tan one. The internal drawstring at the waist is flattering. The hood WILL NOT blow down in wind. I wish they didn't use so much velcro on the front tab covering the zipper, but I do like the low profile effect of it, so it's a wash. I am 5'8", 125# and I got the small.
