Columbia  Glennaker Rain Jacket - Boys'

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been hard to find a good quality, packable, very lightweight rain jacket for my son. Many good quality jackets come with some sort of liner for colder weather. We live in Hawaii...but it rains a lot! But I don't want my son sweating in his jacket, and it can often be pretty humid but raining at this same time. This is perfect, and it runs a little large so if it IS a little cold, you can always add a little fleece or something underneath. Also works for a growing boy! I gave it 4 stars because I wouldn't mind it being a touch thicker, but some might love how lightweight and packable this is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the blue size XXS for my four year old grandson as he needed a rain jacket for school. The colors are perfect, and the fit is great. The sleeves are a little long, but can be pushed up a few inches easily. The lightweight quality of this jacket is great for the hot weather in Puerto Rico where he lives, and the hood keeps his little head dry!

My 6 year old wears his coat in a place that gets 180 inches of rain a year. After 3 moths I am pleased with how dry he is. It does not keep you warms only dry. So get a size bigger if you want to have warm layers under.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a rather "petite" adult woman (~5'3", 120 lbs), and I ordered this jacket in an XL. It fits perfectly! I have worn it in warmer weather with just a t shirt underneath and it keeps the rain off well. I recently wore it on a long field work trip where I was in 30 degree sleet for 5 hours. It kept me very dry, and the sizing allowed me to wear a t shirt, thermal, and sweatshirt underneath the raincoat with plenty of room to spare. Even when this jacket isn't on sale, it's a much cheaper alternative to the similar adult jackets, and apparently works just as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two of these for my boys to wear on rainy schooldays. They are excellent quality and lightweight so they work well for warmer days and can be layered over a heavier jacket or hoodie when the weather turns cool. They are waterproof so they stay dry on their walk to school and the hood has a little bill that keeps rain out of their faces. They look good, too so they don't feel like their mom is dressing them like dorks (very important in middle school). The sizing is right on and I think we'll get a couple of years wear out of them, at least. Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color and size is great.. ( purchased medium in blue) only problem.. the jacket is paper thin.. there is no lining at all.. it's like the jackets you buy that roll up into a pouch. I didn't want anything lined or heavy as this is for the summer but I was shocked to see the quality.. I have similar jackets from last year that are still light weight but at least have a mesh lining and the material is not like paper. Will be returning and trying a different jacket. I was very surprised given the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is what I wanted. A paper thin rain jacket that my kids could wear hiking in the summer, or over a sweatshirt in the winter. The zipper runs smoothly. It would have been nice if there was a hook by the tag to hang the jacket on school hooks and if the pockets were zippered, but it is waterproof and lightweight which is what I wanted. My child normally wears a 6/7 shirt and the small was just big enough to wear a sweatshirt underneath or a little room to grow without anything underneath.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so please with these rain jackets! I ordered 2 for my 2 boys. My oldest child is autistic and very sensitive to fabrics and he absolutely loves his jacket. He actually wore it for an entire day when I first gave it to him! Every morning when we get dressed for school he loves to put on his jacket before leaving the house. My 3 year old loves to be like his big brother so he loves his jacket as well. Thank you so much for your quality material and versatility!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket for my 4 year old who is very big for his age. The size guide was very helpful. It is a little big for him, but that allows me to layer a sweater underneath, as this is an unlined jacket. Because of this feature, it can be used in warm or cooler weather. We live in a very humid and windy area, so this jacket has been perfect for our climate this summer. It is very lightweight, making it easy to pack and perfect for an active little boy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket for my son prior to going on a trip to Ireland. He loved the fit of the jacket and how it was able to keep out the rain without being a "heavy jacket." It rained on and off during our trip and never did he get wet. The jacket was comfortable for him to run around in while we explored the country, yet also looked nice enough to wear into some of the fancier restaurants we went to. It's a great jacket and I highly recommend it!
