Review on Columbia Men's Watertight II Jacket: Top Choice for Maximum Protection by Travis Filippi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It is waterproof and windproof and lightweight.

I bought this jacket for my husband who is 5'6" and weighs about 200 pounds. It's a bit roomy as I wanted him to be able to tuck a fleece jacket underneath if needed. It's loose enough, but not baggy, to look good with or without a fleece. He's worn it a bit, likes the feel and says it keeps the wind out. Finally it started raining to test the waterproof part - all right! We stood in the rain for about 4 hours, part drizzle, part rain. His shirt was dry when he took off his jacket. His only wish was that the hood was a bit stiffer at the top. He said it was somehow glued onto his head instead of creating a hood that sticks out a bit. His solution is a baseball cap to protect his face from the rain. I would definitely buy it again!

Pros
  • machine wash
