I would not trust this jacket in the backwoods for multiple days. I bought it for city use and it looks good and works great for that purpose. Does an adequate job shedding light rain. I can tell the water-proofing is wearing down in just under a years worth of use. Overall, I am happy with it as an everyday jacket, but I bought a Torrentshell for the backcountry.

Well priced light weight waterproof shell. A bit oversized, which is typical of Columbia, so it permit adding a Seagate fleece or sweatshirt for added warmth. Definitely recommend.

it is a fantastic water and wind barrier without the expesnse of weight. It is not an insulated piece nor does it have OmniHeat, so it's not designed to be a super warm jacket.

How do you tighted the draw cord at the bottom of the jacket using the small rubber gromet attached to the cord other than knoting the cord?

Also, how to you roll up the hood using the velcro tap on the back of the hood?

OK...I figured out how to roll up the hood but still looking for the answer to the little rubber ring on the draw cord. How it's suppose to keep the cord cinched is still a mistery.

I retro-ed a cord lock onto the drawstring at the bottom. My gloved fingers couldn't manage the stock one.

to secure the hood down, roll the hood to the inside and use the velcro adjusment strap to loop through the open tab at the neck.

True to size, decent all around inexpensive rain jacket. Replaced an older jacket that lining was peeling up in. Kept me dry on a 5 mile hike on the Washington Coast. Could breath a bit better, but for a light cheap jacket works well.

Great waterproof shell. I'm a 5'10" 175lbs guy that bought a medium. Fits great with or without a fleece underneath. Rainy season in Korea is almost here, lots of mountains to hike. I'm sure it'll be nice in and around town too. Definitely recommend.

Just got in from Mt Guadalupe in Salt Flat, TX and I'm SO glad I chose this jacket. The mountain is about 5600 ft up with a lot of cut backs and we just happened to come right after/in the middle of a nasty cold front. There was snow as soon as we stepped out of the car on the ground and snow started falling at about 3,000 feet. There were gusts up to 70mph on the exposed face of the mountain with a constant flurry. There was about a foot of fresh powdered snow on several of the back side cutbacks. With all of that my upper body never got wet and I was never cold. The jacket basically eliminated the wind. All I had on under the jacket was a sleeveless underarmor shirt and an underarmor stretchy mesh T. The jacket was very light but unexpectedly warm with the conditions. With all of the pockets I was able to take a light Vaude backpack. It was a challenging hike but I'm so proud of my gear. I will definitely be buying more from BackCountry. The initial reviews led me to my items and I hope this review leads someone to it as well. Happy hiking!

This is the second time I've purchased this jacket. I had my first one for 5 years and it survived 2 years in Asia, camping trips, day hikes, bus rides in Laos, and any other torture I could put it through. It only died when I lent it to a friend who dried it on high heat and basically melted some of the fabric on the arms.
I primarily bought this jacket for traveling abroad, as it's lightweight and packable, which makes for a perfect pillow on overnight bus/train trips, if you get cold on a long flight, or if you're stuck on a slow-moving ferry. I used it during the rainy season while teaching in Thailand and Laos, and it kept me dry, yet allowed me to remain cool in the hot, humid conditions.
As previous reviewers noted, the jacket fits large, which makes sense since you can use the jacket for an outer shell if you're traveling or living in cold climates. I'm 6'2" 170 pounds, and the large jacket fits me just right, not too tight or baggy.
Other competing companies probably sell comparable products, but in this category at least, I've only owned a Columbia and it's an awesome jacket. I highly recommend it.

This is one awesome jacket, I already had this exact same jacket in another color and have had it for years and it looks just as good today as it did when I purchased it a couple of years ago with the exception to the University of Georgia emblem I had placed on the left side of the breast bone.....I own many, many Columbia items and their quality cannot be surpassed as far as I'm concerned. So if you want a light weight jacket that functions well in bad weather, really well then this is the one your looking for....I cannot brag on this jacket enough and I do use it daily..

The description indicates no venting, so i think you have to assume it has no pit zips.

Jaimie is right... there is no venting under the arms. the front pockets are mesh and will allow airflow.

I bike to work in Brooklyn every day. This puppy keeps the rain off and lets the sweat out. How does that work? I don't care. Good rain jacket. Hood fits over helmet- mostly.

Does this jacket have a 2-way zipper? I need a waterproof coat for walking to and from bus stops in daily work commute. 2-way zipper is very useful.

Write your question here...What is the length of this jacket from shoulder to hem please?

Would this be suitable for hiking in warm early November weather in Australia? If not, could you suggest another 100% waterproof jacket in your range. Thanks

The center back length is what i can proved and that is 30" it is from the center of the top seam on the back down to the hem.

the watertight jacket is a very nice shoulder season and summer rain coat. It is totally waterproof and more breathable than most jackets int he category. I would eye the Greene Trail or Hail Tech as alternatives... Or get the Outside Magazine Gear of the Year jacket... the Peak 2 Peak. treat yourself to the most breathable waterproof jkt out there

for weight of 176lbs and height of 5'5", chest 41 inches, what size do you suggest?

James Jenden

Medium will fit you best for sure, although if you wanted a really tight fit for running or something, you could go with a small. It has a long center back length, so it will be a bit too long on you unless you have a really long torso.
