ColumbiaWomen's Weekend Adventure II Long Shell Jacket
Product details
Web ID: 18970686Design flaws
I desperately need a new waterproof windbreaker for summer travel. Been eyeing this awhile and finally ordered on sale. This has all the features I want (zero velcro, hood, longer length, waterproof). Sadly, I will be returning this shell due to two fatal flaws: 1. The sleeves are extremely long without an effective cuff to hold it off the hand. When cuff is snapped closed (as shown in photos), the fold of fabric rubs my wrist and sleeve still falls down to cover nearly my entire hand--and I have long arms! Impedes ability to hold/use items (like a phone or hiking poles), wash hands, etc. VERY annoying and dysfunctional! 2. There is no interior lining and in a short-sleeved shirt bare skin is touching the plastic Omnitech lining (and yes, as others have noted, the coat reeks of plastic--no idea if that would fade over time). Unpleasant, but the deal-breaker is the lack of sleeve cuff. Columbia, please keep the length, but bring back elastic wrist cuffs, and add a lining over the plastic fabric!

Ladies long rain jacket
Very nice jacket that fits well and was delivered on time. If you are shorter in height, the arms may be on the longer side

Great hiking with my dog jacket!
Great jacket for hanging out in the rain. Lightweight but warm enough, room to layer if needed. Able to walk dog in the rain and feel comfortable.

This is a weird jacket with a bad zipper. Period.
First of all, the zipper is janky. I don't have the patience to fight with it. Second of all, fit is..odd. It's like the bottom half desperately needed to flare out—it's very boxy if you don't want to pull the waist strings, which I didn't, because it hits me at an odd, non-waisty place. The clincher is, the hood pulls the collar backwards into a strangle no matter how much you pull it forward. So it's not cute, it's not comfy, so I'll never find out if it's waterproof bc I don't want to keep it. Overall, I miss old Columbia. I have 20yo fleeces in my closet...and I've sent back most of my last SIX orders. Bring back the quality, pls.

Solid Rain Jacket That Covers My Rear
I have been on the hunt for a longer raincoat that covers my rear. I have a "regular" length Columbia raincoat that I love. This one is great and will be in heavy rotation. I got the Greenscape color. I am 5'5" and wear a women's 16. I got an XXL to be able to wear a sweatshirt or sweater under it. It is generously sized. I might have been able to go XL. I knocked a star off for 2 things that others have raised here. The hood is pretty much useless as it either falls in your eyes or flops backwards. Point 2 is that in my other Columbia rain jacket you can tighten the cuffs with a strap to stop water or wind from blowing up your sleeve. The Weekend Adventure has one snap that tightens the cuff by about an inch. That is not going to keep water or wind out.

Really rainproof
I got a size with room to layer several layers underneath. Warm and dry. Rain jacket length to knees, waist drawstring is nice. I recommend.
