Columbia Arcadia II Rain Jacket - Women's reviews and deals for sale

Jacket

Great jacket. Love this clothing brand.

Great jacket, too big

The jacket took a while to get here but finally arrived. It's a nice jacket but it is definitely too big for me. I used the size chart and went with an XL based on my clothing size. I am 5'4 170. (sz 16) The sleeves are way too long and even with a hoodie the jacket is too large for me.

Good protection from the rain!

This really serves the purpose of keeping the people dry from the rain! Really good fit and warm as well.

Niece loved it

Bought this for my niece to wear through the rain forest. She is happy with it. Nice light weight and keeps you dry.

Nice Jacket

I really like this jacket for many reasons: it is lightweight, not bulky, layerable underneath. Overall happy with this purchase.

Fits and looks good!

Bought this for my wife. She said she needed a large and this fits like she expected. So far she likes it. I'd didn't realize that it didn't have zippered arm pits. Otherwise, we love it. The color is accurate to the web picture. She likes the fact that it shows into the left hand pocket.

Love

I was looking for something to keep me dry but not too heavy. Used this in Oregon and stood by a balding waterfall and my clothes didn’t get wet! Love this jacket.

My Wife is so happy!!

The rain jacket is something she has been looking forward too so much! Because of all the rain we have been getting she has been so jealous of my marmot rain shell. So, we got this Columbia and boy does she love it. The fit is perfect - it is keeping her dry and blocks out wind VERY WELL! And she loves the way the hood cinches keeping rain off of her face. But the sleeping pad… read more at first made me worried. It sounded like a plastic bag when you move around on it, but knowing it is a Therm-a-Rest and my excited wife was rolling around like crazy on it, made those worries pass away. I love how small and light it is and in through it feel solid!

Great jacket

This was a gift and she loves it. Great for everyday use.

Phenomenal jacket!!!

This jacket is the women's equivalent of the MEN'S WATERTIGHT™ II JACKET which is one of the best on the market in my opinion. I bought this for my wife and she adores it! This jacket is great for the trail or even just for cool mornings in town. I can't give a higher recommendation!

Columbia Rain Jacket

This is a good lightweight rain jacket. I had a XS for about 10 years and wore most of the year when it rained. Finally it had gotten to the point where it wasn’t really water resistant but still looks great. I wore the jacket hundreds of times. It is a lightweight jacket and this time around I decided to order a S instead of the XS so I could layer if needed. The XS was more… read more of a length that I preferred but I am happy with the S. This is a rain jacket that I expect to last a while, just like my old one did.

OK, But There Are Better Options

I like Columbia, & this jacket would probably work for some people, but didn't for me. I tried both the small & XS, both of which fit, but the XS is more fitted & would be snug with a sweater underneath. The sleeves were too long on the Small, altho they do have velcro tabs to adjust around the wrist. The jacket has a mesh lining for breathability, which makes it a little warmer/heavier… read more (a pro or con depending on your needs) but also bulkier to pack. The hood is an oval cut-out, rather than the 2-piece style that provides better coverage in heavy rain. But the real downside to the hood is that the pulls to adjust it are not closed loops ~ when you pull them to snug the hood up around your face, it leaves tails by your chin that would flap in the wind. Very annoying, & I have no idea why Columbia did that, since the pulls on the print version of this jacket are closed loops. The hood also can't be adjusted for size from the back, or stowed in the collar when it's not raining. Overall, if you need a basic waterproof rain jacket at a very reasonable price, & are willing to overlook the drawbacks, this would work. And it does come in a nice range of colors. But there are better options.

Stylish and warm

It's a very elegant jacket that goes with pretty much everything. Great to fight off the cold and for rainy days.

Great Fitted Rain Jacket

Great fit for my wife's petite frame. Stylish for a rainy, windy, or just a cool day!

Best jacket ever

My sister in law wears this jacket every day. It's great for fighting off the cold and it also looks very fashionable.

Great cheap rain jacket

I bought this as a gift for my mother in law and she loves it. This is a great lightweight raincoat that won't break the bank!

Cute and functional

Ordered this in black and I love how sleek and simple it is. It does its job great and actually provides some warmth as well. I often have trouble finding jackets that fit my body and arm length but this one did both.

sweet

got this for my girlfriend and she loves it not the best on the market but definitely does the job and keeps you dry !

does the job

Got this jacket for my mom and she likes it. Worked quite well at keeping her dry in moderate to heavy rain fall. The fit is comfortable and accurate. If my mom likes it so will you!

Rain

Love this jacket! It's a great fit and keeps you dry. Breathable and lightweight. Keeps you cool inside as well.

How many ounces does this weigh?

The technical specifications on this web page don’t give its Waterproof mm rating. Does anyone know what it is ?

How well does it protect from heavy rain?

Does it adjust at the hood-with a string or elastic? Also-how wide is it across the hem? I find coats are often too snug across the hips.

How far down on the wrists do the sleeves go? I wear a small, but sometimes the sleeves on size small jackets have a tendency to be short on my longer arms.

Does this jacket run small or large? Thanks.
