Great lightweight jacket for keeping off the rain.

This jacket was great for a warm rainy day. The water beaded up on the surface and rolled off. Once the rain stopped it was easy to fold and stash in my backpack. The color is just like the photo and looks great. The jacket is well-made and all the zippers work well. The side zip pockets are roomy enough for my phone and other stuff. I expect it to last a long time. I have several Columbia fleece jackets and this will make a great layer when the weather is wet. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend.

Jacket not true to size

I ordered this Women’s Switchback Jacket in a 3X. The size said 3X fits sizes 22-24 which isn’t true , the size is more of a XL. Plus it has no lining in it & is very thin. I’m very disappointed in this purchase

Perfect jacket for rain

I wore this a few days after it arrived, looks great while campaigning in the pouring rain. It does get muggy in the coat when it is warm outside. I added a monogram to the back flap, super cute. I ordered a large, it does run small so size up. Fits great in the length and looks beautiful (I have the Miami color) will enjoy this light weight, all year rain coat for years to come!

Perfect jacket

I'm 5'4 and 138 lb.I was hesitating between M or L because of the size chart.I choosed the large and fits great.Is not snug.The medium size would fit too,but at least I can wear a thicker layer if I want under this jacket.Actually true to size.

Great look, but rubbery interior

Love the look, but don't like the feel of interior. It is rubbery and not comfortable to me.

NICE LIGHT WEIGHT JACKET

everytime i wear this jacket i am showered with compliments. I purchased it for those rainy summer days. it repels the water and its light weight so you are too warm while wearing it. you have the option of wearing the hood or storing it. the length is great and it fits true to size. this is the perfect spring/summer jacket to own.

NOT Water Repellant!

This jacket is NOT water repellant -- recently wore it in the rain for the first time and my shirt underneath the jacket was soaked.
