Columbia  Pouration II Jacket - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since Seattle is known for its rainy weather, everyone in my office owns a rain jacket. The color of this one is so striking that a female coworker asked where I got it. I’ve received a lot of compliments while wearing it. Most people stick to gray, black, or dark navy, so I enjoy standing out without going all over the board. It’s really comfortable and has plenty of functional pockets. I also like that I can adjust the cuffs to be either tight or loose. Overall, a great purchase. I’ve owned about 10 Columbia jackets, and they never disappoint when it comes to both functionality and style.

Mixed review for this raincoat. Fit was good and the material looks to be very durable. But...one of the reasons I decided to purchase this raincoat over some others was its ability to pack into its own pocket. I just received my Pouration II and attempted to stuff it into its own pocket. First, there were no instructions on the Columbia website I could find so I went on YouTube. Found and followed the instructions but it was impossible to fit my XXL jacket into the pocket. I tried three times and each time there was at least one sleeve with utterly no room to get into the pocket/stuff sack, much less zip it. I have a feeling that, while patterning this size, they didn't account for the extra fabric of the larger sizes and make the pocket bigger. I'll keep the jacket and figure out some other way to corral it in my daypack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this raincoat! It fits well and is roomy enough for a layer under it when weather is cooler. It has features that allow you to adjust your comfort level - zipper can be lowered all the way and then front closure can be secured with the great Velcro tabs. Underarm zippers allow air in if you are heating up and, of course, do not want to take off your raincoat, if you’re walking in the rain. Hood fits nicely - doesn’t come down over my face. I like everything about it. Glad to have it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice and lightweight. I havent experienced heavy rain in it yet but it has done well in mild rain conditions. Very breathable and easy to move in (I hate rain jackets with tight shoulders). I went with the smaller size of the recommended and I have plenty of room. My only complaint would be all the velcro. Its just so much velcro which can make zipping it up a pain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace a rain jacket that wasn’t wind proof. The first time wearing this it was a light rain and this kept me dry and warm! The rain got heavier and it held up perfectly. The hood is nice because it can be folded up and put away. The hood also comes out far enough on top which is nice. The armpit vents are a really nice bonus to this jacket as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't worn it yet in the rain yet, but my husband bought to same jacket last year and him kept him dry in heavy rain, so I bought one for myself. I got a larger size so I can wear a fleece under it and the sleeves are a little long but the Velcro around the cuff keeps them up. It folds up fairly small for packing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great jacket! With all the rainy weather we have been having it was definitely put up to the test and held up very well. Repels water efficiently and I love the zipper under the arms for extra mobility and it keeps you cool on humid days. Highly recommend and probably will purchase another one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this jacket. Waterproof and wind proof, perfect for warm weather.c. I searched for a jacket with the high collar to keep out the wind, hood is in the collar, very convenient. Love the fabric. It’s pliable, comfortable with interior lining. And it looks great!
