Great Jacket @ Great Price

By:
March 9, 2009

This jacket is very comfortable, breathes nicely, looks good around town, has kept me completely dry in the showers I've been in (some pretty severe), and came at a great price. The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because I haven't had it long enough to make sure it is durable. I will have to keep it a while to see if the waterproofing lasts through the conditions. This jacket is extremely lightweight and packs down nicely into the side compartment of my pack. Overall great jacket!

Great Jacket

By:
September 2, 2009

It packs very well, and is excellent in spring or fall weather conditions. It was a life-saver on my trip to Ireland. I haven't used it yet in colder conditions, but it would be very easy to layer underneath it in order to stay dry and warm.

If you're speaking to the velcro strap on the back side o fthe hood it is a volume adjustment. By using the velcro strap you can move the visor higher or lower on your brow for better fit.

Hey Adam,

I can't see any Velcro in the photos I'm afraid. However, every single jacket I've seen with Velcro on the hood has two strips of Velcro. One is usually on the outside of the hood located near the seam that joins the hood to the jacket. The other is likely inside the hood also near the jacket/hood seam. This allows one to roll the hood up and stow it in order to avoid having "floppy hood syndrom" whilst on the trail. Hope that helps.

I need a jacket with length similar to a suit or sport coat. I got a jacket from North Face like the "Thunderstorm II" (L) which was only 28" from mid-shoulder to the bottom. I want more like 32"+. Would this jacket fill the request?

The Thunderstorm II has a 30" back length. 32"+ you're getting more into the trench styling which is hard to find in outdoor gear.

Columbia Thunderstorm II Jacket

By:
June 4, 2009

This jacket works great for what I wanted - a lightweight shell that is waterproof and big enough to wear layers under. It's not insulated, so you will need to wear clothes when it's cold, but this allows it to be used in all different weather. Great jacket, would recommend for people who want lightweight, packable shell with plenty of room for layering.

Grant,The Thunderstorm II has an attached hood. For a $90 $59.95 on sale rain jacket that looks as nice as this does, you don't get that many extra bells and whistles. Unless you want to shell (pun intended) out for a high end jacket this is too good of a deal to pass up. Can use it as the extra jacket you keep in the car, for emergencies, or permanently in the bottom of the pack.Mahalo, Sumo
