Stylish and Waterproof: Introducing the Columbia Women's Pardon My Trench Rain Jacket Review

I bought this to wear a sweater or sweatshirt in spring and fall so even though I'm 5ft 3in and 135lbs I ordered a big one. Not only does he fit my needs perfectly, but he also looks incredibly stylish with his belted trench coat. It protects against wind and rain, although I haven't tried it in a downpour. Large hood, unlike most hooded garments; the whole head, including the hood underneath. The length on me is about mid-thigh, which is perfect. The only caveat is that it's a bit tight on my…

Thanks to Columbia and Revain for a cute raincoat for little women. I'm barely 5ft 90lbs; only a very petite woman, usually petite size 00 or XXS. This raincoat arrived within 2 days and is a great color (I thought I would get a plum or grape color but it's actually a midnight navy blue). This XS raincoat fits very well and looks great. One of the few I've had that has a hood and doesn't look too big. The zip pockets are nice when it's pouring rain and the belt makes it trendy. This is for our…

I love this coat! I'm dry, happy and warm in the rainy fall weather in Texas. I will take a warmer coat for winter but so far this coat is working great. I have a greenish jacket and it looks great with everything I wear. My hips are a little wide so the plus size feels a little tight, but overall the sleeves, hood and chest are so comfortable! I'm 5ft 3in and 190lbs. I'm also wearing a bandage so I don't know if it's tighter on my chest or not. UPDATE: 01/2019 Holiday. :( I was heartbroken. I…

Having had the exact same jacket in a different color for the past few years and lost weight thought it might be wise to order a smaller size. dead bug. I used the handy Prime Wardrobe option to look at the different color options - only to find out that Columbia have skimped on these jackets and they are too small for a full size, maybe closer to 2 sizes. Another disadvantage is that the belt is no longer removable. Because it's lightweight and travel-friendly, I decided and reluctantly went…

This style is flattering. It's more form fitting than the Arcadia but has enough room to wear a 200lb fleece underneath. (So it looks a bit bulky, but I wouldn't always wear it with fleece.) It's waterproof and folds down compactly. The length is somewhere between jacket and coat. The zipper goes in two directions and/or you can just close the front. The wrists are also adjustable. Although it should be designed as sportswear, the attached belt makes it smart enough for the city. The only…

Raincoats are difficult for my pear body type. If it's waist-high I'll swim in it, if it's high-rise I can't damn thing shut it. While trench coats are a great solution for figures who need a waist, they traditionally lack a hood, making them useless as raincoats. With its trench coat style and practical rain protection features, this jacket is the perfect solution. The strap provides the definition I need to not look like a drop top but still provide a comfortable fit on my hips. The other…
