Columbia Women's Switchback Iii Jacket

I absolutely love this raincoat! It's thinner than I anticipated, and really couldn't get much thinner. Which is actually perfect, because it's lightweight when you want protection from the rain but don't want to sweat. I bought mine a little bigger so that I can easily pair it with my Columbia fleece. I could not be any happier with this purchase! The fit is comfortable and flattering.

Love the colors, the fit is good, only thing I didn't like is the fabric is a little noisy but that may be true for all rain repellent nylon fabrics.

Perfecto y envio rapido. Gracias!

Feels like a fitted jacket so size up for sure.

If you are looking for lightweight this is the jacket for you. Super thin for those warmer rainy days. I wish it was a little more flattering though and I don't love the hood. It's so thin that it doesn't always stay put if there's a breeze at all.

Love the color, perfect fit. Received quickly. Love it..

For sizing, I'm a 36" bust, 29.5" waist. I bought the small in green in August 2020. I wanted a packable shell for my go-bag. Fit is perfect around my waist. A tiny bit baggy around the bust, but still really flattering. I feel like sleeves are a tad long, but Velcroed tight, it looks fine.In November 2020, I bought a medium in moon gray to use on my daily power walks. Color is on the lavender side of gray. It's fit is just a little bigger than the small, with enough space for a thick fleece jacket layer underneath.Reviews are what helped me make the purchase, so I'd like to share my experience as I think it would be helpful. I've seen reviews of people who were wet after using the jacket in the rain, so I'm including my experience with that also.While wearing the jacket, the packable hood is super easy to unfurl, and just as easy to roll back into the collar. Our Northern New England winter has already begun, so I've been able to test using this as a windbreaker shell. I've been able to go out in windy 14 degrees with a thin base layer and a thick fleece hoodie underneath this jacket, and been warm enough. I actually get a little overheated half way through the walk, but unzipping the pockets (which are its "vents") and the main zipper does help cool me down.One warning! Because it traps body heat so well, it also traps moisture! I have one picture of the inside of the back of jacket after a walk. Needless to say this is not a breathable Gore-tex jacket, so it's to be expected. When I tried the first jacket on in the summer, it did start to get sticky wearing it on my bare skin, so if you live in a warmer climate, this feature might get annoying.As for waterproofness, I've been out in the pouring rain a few times and come home dry -except if I've been sweating. The rain water just beads up on the jacket. Being that it wicks my sweat on the interior, I decided to performed a test in the shower to be sure about its waterproofness. After about 5 minutes of showering my arm, you can see that indeed the inside of my sleeve is bone dry.This jacket is very packable. You'll find in one of the hand pockets, there's a double zipper. Turn that pocket inside out, and feed the jacket body into the pocket/sack. Zips shut. You can search the web to find a video showing it, but it's very easy and quick to do. The packed-down size is 5"h x 9"w, and as flat as an inch thick.

The color "New Moon" is great and the fit is nice and loose to wear over warm jackets on my winter walks. I was worried the color would just look like a dirty light purple but it is actually a nice gray/lavender. not as dull as the photo but not too bright. I also ordered the "marigold" but it is a little too orange for me. Although it would be a good color choice to stay visible on dark or rainy days. I look better in mustard.The sizing is true I think. I got a larger size but I think a small or medium would fit fine. I'm about 130lbs with big boobs. It's quite roomy but I like to be able to wear a thick fleece or puffer coat underneath if needed.The jacket stuffs into the pocket in case you didn't realize that. Also the hood stuffs into the collar. I love that because even when it is raining I don't always like to wear a hood as it limits my vision. And yet you don't want a hood loose flapping in the wind and filling with water.

No es una chamarra contra frío , es una chamarra ligera rompevientos, contra agua y transpirable. Quizás y en talla L , LAS MANGAS SON MUY LARGAS, por lo demás, excelente producto

Maravillosa, queda perfecta, ligera y combinable y fácil de cargar a todo lado

Es muy cómoda

El color me encantó

Es un poco amplia para la talla pero cumple totalmente su función impermeable. Es muy bonita
