Review on Columbia Arcadia Waterproof Jacket for Women - Women's Clothing, Coats, Jackets & Vests by Drew Panah

I am so pleasantly surprised with this jacket. I have searched in vain for a raincoat that I like. This lightweight jacket features a mesh lining. The mesh lining offers comfort without the jacket sticking to you like many other raincoats, while staying much cooler than other similar jackets I've tried. A lot of other jackets feel this "stuffy" and hot to me, but something about this jacket makes me feel comfortable. There's velcro on the wrists to tighten them and drawstrings on the hood and waist to keep me dry! The pockets are huge and so far I haven't had a problem getting anything wet in them. LOVE that it fits in a purse. This makes it very portable and easy to throw in my backpack for day trips or leave in the car for emergencies. Based on other reviews I was expecting it to run a lot less than it actually does. It was almost the right size for me, so I didn't have any problems with the size. The only thing I would add to make this jacket better would be ventilation zips in the underarms. Otherwise I am very happy with my purchase!
