Great Product...but the Smell and Hood...
I bought this for my trip to Scotland and it performed well in the torrential rain and wind I experienced in the Hebrides. I only dislike 2 things about this: The first is the hood. There is not a drawstring to tighten the hood, and the it was no match for the gale force winds I experienced, and the embedded odor in the jacket material , despite several pre-departure washings, and hanging it separately from my other clothing. I just washed it again, twice, and the odor is still as strong and noxious as when I took it out of the packaging. Otherwise, I remained dry from the neck down, the jacket was very breathable, and I was covered to my knees and dry.

Let Down: Waterproofing Failed in 90 Minutes
I'm a Columbia Sportswear loyalist through and through, but this jacket didn't do its job. I purchased it earlier this year and have worn it 2-3 times on "just in case it rains" days here in the Pacific Northwest. I recently took it on a trip to Scotland. On a particularly rainy and windy day, I wore the jacket for a short hike. I found out the hard way that there is no way to adjust the tightness of the hood or the sleeves at the wrists. Due to wind, I had to use my hand to hold my hood in place to keep my head and face out of the rain. After 90 minutes out in the elements, we arrived back at the car and I found the sweatshirt I wore under the jacket was damp leaving me chilled and wet - not ideal on a day adventuring around the Isle of Skye...or ever, really. The pros: Length Adjustable cinch waist The cons: Doesn't withstand actual rain No cinch to tighten the hood No adjustability at wrists on the sleeves Sleeves a little too short for me, personally (take this with a grain of salt, I have long arms) No armpit vents to cool off once you get going on a nice hike Unfortunately, I can't recommend.

The raincoat I was searching for….
This is the raincoat I imagined! Perfect length! I am comfortable and cool while wearing it! The hood is a bit wonky, but I adjusted it to work well for me! I purchased a size up only because I will be layering underneath it on an upcoming trip. I am pleased with this purchase!
