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 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.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m 5’6 190lbs and very curvy, I’ve had problems finding rain jackets that cover my hips and butt and I like having the option to be able to wear a sweatshirt under a rain jacket so I bought and extra large and it fits exactly how I wanted, if you want it more form fitting I probably could fit in a large and it would still fit around my hips. I looked at a lot of different brands for a jacket to invest in and I’ve always come back to Colombia jackets

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great jacket. It was a perfect fit and exactly what my wife was looking for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great raincoat- had an older version that I bought probably 15+ years ago that finally started falling apart from the inside out so bought a new one- long enough to cover your butt- bought a large so I can layer underneath- Only thing I would change is loose the velcro on the zipper flap and go back to the snaps. The velcro tends to snag on clothing if you take the jacket off and carry it over your arm….
