I'm Sold!

By Ricky Harper Ranked #1134 - Men's Rain Jackets February 25, 2010

I picked one of these up from the local Columbia outlet store. I needed a rain jacket for the Swamp Stomp adventure race. I have never owned anything Columbia before and bought it on the pure recommendation of the sales person.

The weather the day of the race was in the low 50s. The course involved a muddy bike ride, hiking on dry double track/dirt roads, and sloshing through knee to waste deep swamp.

This jacket kept me dry and warm all day. Even when running/biking, a minor adjustment to the zipper kept my temperature comfortable. While navigating cypress stumps int he swamp, I had to put my arm in the water to avoid totally going under. I was amazed to find the jacket was still dry and repelled all the water!

I am now sold on the Columbia name and I am convinced this jacket helped me finish the race!
