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

Columbia Men's Waterproof Jacket ReviewThe Columbia Men's Waterproof Jacket is a lightweight waterproof jacket with a streamlined design. As the name suggests, the jacket is capable of keeping you dry on a rainy day; however, its value goes well beyond a raincoat. Here are a few features that make this jacket a great addition to your wardrobe. Waterproof and windproof. This jacket is really waterproof. So you stay clean and dry even in heavy rain. The waterproof technology offers a remarkable dirt-resistant function. No matter how dirty the jacket is on a rainy day, a simple wipe is enough to take care of it. The windproof function offers additional protection against the cold. At the same time, the fabric remains breathable, which allows moisture vapor to escape from the skin. The only downside is that this jacket is difficult to wash due to the water resistance. You may find the water bag when you take it out of the washing machine. An extra drying cycle will solve the problem if that ever happens. Design This jacket is lined with a soft mesh layer and is very light. The long sleeves and body length offer enough coverage to keep you dry no matter how strong the wind blows. The hood extends forward far enough to protect your face, and a drawcord keeps the hood in place even in strong winds. The two zippered front pockets are large enough to protect your phone, wallet, keychain and even a pair of gloves from the rain. The sleek design looks more modern than the competition, helping you stay stylish even on a terribly messy day. At the same time, the jacket still has plenty of room around the chest, so you always have plenty of room for a sweater, hoodie or even a coat. Another notable feature is that the entire jacket can be stowed in the front left pocket with a 2-way zip. Versatility Few jackets are as versatile as this one. The waterproof and windproof properties make this jacket almost perfect for fishing. With breathable fabric, you can wear this jacket over your favorite t-shirt on a rainy day in the middle of summer. You can also wear this jacket in autumn or winter. The matte finish and sleek look will make no one notice you're wearing a rain jacket as a spring/fall windbreaker. You can also use this jacket to protect your pea coat from getting wet on a snowy day. Overall, the Columbia men's waterproof rain jacket is a quality jacket that can be worn on many occasions. It certainly has room for improvement. But for the price you pay, you can hardly find a better deal.
