Columbia Women Switchback Jacket (Small)

Update 2/2/25 This is my least favorite jacket. It feels like a sauna jacket. It has held up well to several washings over the years and still looks great. The lining is horrible lint/pet hair trap. But as far as I can say there is no temperature or weather this jacket is comfortable in. This is absolutely a miss on Columbia's part. 🤷 Update 6/9/22 I had a chance to actually test out the waterproof quality. Well... It's mixed. I realize it's a light weight jacket. Light and misty rains it has zero problem. I got stuck in a downpour a couple of times walking the dog (springtime in the PNW). Not only did it get really hot in anything over 55°it did not keep me fully dry. I wasn't soaked. But if you are gonna be in frequent downpours it heavy steady find something else. It's definitely a very narrow range temp jacket. Not a deal breaker, it's a nice jacket but I was hoping to find that perfect combo of breathable and rainproof. Oh well. ********************** Got it, washed it, hung it dry. Wore it. I like the fit, it covers my hips and isn't so baggy and boxy like lots of plus size outerwear. It feels like a decent made piece. Zipper is smooth without catching. I do agree with those that call the lining cheap. I've had cheaper jackets lined with a nicer linings. The lining in that cheaper textured fuzzy stuff that picks up every piece of lint, pet hair and sticks to the velcro like flies on honey. I've only had it one day. Go figure. HOWEVER.... It doesn't feel weird and I like the jacket. While disappointing it's not a deal breaker. I have a heavy duty winter coat by Columbia and that's why I bought this one, I like the quality. I needed a decent light weight rain jacket. The price went up after I bought it. I'll update after I wear it in the rain. Of course I buy it and it stops raining. lol I live in the PNW so eventually it will tested.
