"Looks great, but flimsy quality."

I was disappointed when I got this jacket. There is basically no lining to the jacket. There is a mesh vent for your back but no lining anywhere else. All the pockets are exposed, as is all the stitching. Every time I take it off I feel like I'm taking off a garbage bag with the pocket lining flapping everywhere.

It protects well from the rain, but it is far too flimsy for typical spring weather and temperature. The jacket looks nice from the outside, and has 4 pockets, but there is no comfort at all. I may have been expecting too much because of amazon's previous amazing deals on jackets, but in this case you get what you pay for. 3 stars

"Columbia Jacket - Looks Nice, But Hot"

This is a nice-looking jacket, waterproof, but it doesn't breathe. That makes it hot to wear in mild weather. 3 stars

"Perfect light rain jacket!"

I drove all over town looking for a light summer rain jacket and couldn't find any I liked for under $80. I found this one on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It arrived a month ago and I love it! Its the perfect weight for those summer rain storms, has a great vent in the back to keep you cool, and the fit is excellent. Columbia really did their research on the fit. The hood fits nicely into the collar without being too heavy around your neck when you have it stored. The price is amazing too. It shocked me when I opened the box and saw a $49 price tag hanging from it when I payed $20 less than that! Great, great jacket. 5 stars

"OK for light rain"

If you are in heavy rains for a couple of hrs then this jacket is not recommended. It does keep you dry in light rain.
Its light weight so ideal for backpacking. 3 stars

"good deal"

I got this for a good deal on Amazon($20). It's basically a waterproof windbreaker. Doesn't help at all when it's cold outside(in the 30's) but it's nice when it's a little warmer. Lots of pockets!!!! 4 stars
