Plus Size Pardon My Trench Rain Jacket
Product details
Web ID: 9901348Not waterproof.
I am so confused why everyone is saying this is a great waterproof jacket. I'm in the rainy NW and today stood outside saying long goodbyes to friends in front of a restaurant--for about 20 minutes--and was shivering by the end. Got back to my car and my sweater and shirt are soaked through. Had the jacket zipped, buttoned, hood up and it was tied at the waist. I liked the look of this and got it in black and green and pink, but now I'm disappointed and won't wear any of them if there's a chance of rain. So bummed.

Do not recommend
Very disappointed in this jacket because it doesn’t keep me dry at all. It soaks up the rain and then I’m soaking wet. When you take the jacket off it’s completely drenched and everything else around you is getting wet because it’s just drenched with water. This jacket literally had one job and failed miserably. I’ve never had to write a bad review about the products I’ve purchased, but I don’t recommend this jacket if your intention is to stay dry.

Not a raincoat
I’ve owned this for a year. Unlike the earlier versions of the Pardon My Trench jackets, this is not suitable as a raincoat. The first time I wore it in a decent rain. I was soaked. It has a nice cut, but is more of a light wind breaker. Please, Columbia, bring back the real raincoat version of this jacket with snaps at the sl. It was my favorite.

Love This - Functional and Stylish
I love this jacket. It has great ventilation, which is a must if it’s over 60 degrees outside. Keeps me dry. I love the styling. Sort of a hybrid look that can be sporty or also work appropriate. I will buy more colors. And thanks for the plus sizes! Columbia always runs a hair small compared to other plus sizes. I’m usually a 1X, but bought the 2x in this and it fits perfectly.

Ok in light rain for short periods
I live in Chicago, where rain protection is needed, and umbrellas are pointless. Enter this jacket. It is a great windbreaker and handles light rain as long as you aren't out for extended periods of time, but I've gotten caught in a deluge more than once that the rain went straight through all the seams, including on the chest, where it looked as though I had been lactating straight through my clothes. Not a good look on your way to work! I'll keep wearing it as a windbreaker, but I'm gonna need a legit rain coat, now, too.

NOT WATERPROOF
I never ever write reviews but this is a must. Went hiking in Oregon of course it rains all the time. The hike was only 1.9 miles and it rained off and on. By the time I got to my destination the whole jacket was soaked and not only that my sweatshirt and my t shirt under my sweatshirt was soaked. Do what you will with that info…sincerely soaked sally over here.

Trench!
I bought this a month ago and I am glad I did. It’s a classic style and fits nicely. It’s made well and delivers as described. The arms are a tad long to the point where I have to roll up the sleeves. I accidentally got caught in a light rain during a walk and it was perfect and I could finish pretty much stress free with the hood up feeling protected.

Need Petite Sizes
If you are shirt you are going to look like a clown. I received this as a gift from my well meaning spouse in my usual size 2X. However I am also short (petite plus size women exist!). I love the color and fabric and style but the cut was just too large for a short woman. Be aware.
