Columbia Sportswear Lightrain Relief Parka - Recycled Materials, Waterproof (For Men)

Nice parka from Columbia. Slightly oversized for layering. DWR and Omni-tech fabric kept me dry in hard rain. Zip out fleece vest is nice bonus.

I bought this for my partner for when we go on hiking trips this summer and to wear around town if it rains. He rides his bike everyday even if it is pouring. It looks great, is very comfortable, and has kept him dry. It is also very light so it doesn't feel like a winter jacket. He loves how it comes with a removable vest that he can wear if he wanted.

no front double zipper and no head tigtner on the back of hood.

I chose this as a lightweight wet weather jacket that would be easy to pack in a suitcase for travel. The removable fleece lining provides enough warmth on those days where there is a bit of a chill in the air. Not more than that. The sleeves are long but they are easily adjustable with Velcro tabs on the cuff so this is not a problem. Based on my experience with other Columbia shirts I bought previously, I expected this jacket to run small. This was not the case so it is just a bit too big. Not big enough to warrant a return but if in doubt about the sizing, do not size up. Can't really comment on durability yet but it does seem to be very well made.

this clothes is suitable to use in wet weather

bought it to use around town in rain storms. So far, have had only light rains to test it in. Got caught in a storm walking the dogs, and they were more interested in getting inside than I was. It is a little large on purpose so it would be comfortable in the winter with the lineing in during fall, winter, and spring. It is quite comfortable in wet Feb. weather, the lining keeps it warm.

A great lightweight raincoat. Looks nice and is waterproof for a great price. With the included insulated vest it fits a little snug. Without the vest the fit is great. Not a lot of pockets, but the two(one on each side) it has are giant.

Roomy enough without liner for a sweater. Fleece liner option nice too.

I returned this item because it has a light gray liner with the black jacket, and because the outer layer was simply a very thin rain jacket. I expected the liner to be black like the outer coat, but I also thought the outer jacket would be a little bit thicker. I did not find the outer shell to be breathable. If you want a very light rain jacket with a fairly light zip-in vest, this is the jacket for you.

very nice product i wish i had got a large instead of extra large i would have been real happy but they ran out of the color in the size wanted so i had to take the next size up.
