Columbia Men's Straight Line Rain Jacket

I bought this jacket as a rain jacket and as a jacket to wear when it is slightly chilly. I am highly impressed. It appears well made and I have already worn it in the rain twice and it worked great. I read that some reviewers were concerned with the size. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 200 lbs. I bought the large and it fits perfectly. It is a very thin jacket and I will definitely take this along when I go hiking as it can be rolled up into a space slightly larger then my fist. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight jacket/ rain jacket.

Being an avid Adventurer and Hiker, I felt the need to purchase a light waterproof and windproof jacket. There were a lot of choices but I wanted something that was a good "value" as far as price and performance. It came down to Columbia. I believe it was featured on Slickdeals.net for a significant discount. That did the trick for me so I bought it. Here is my review. The Columbia Men's Straight Line Rain Jacket is a great Lightweight Jacket that keeps that cold wind off of your body and mostly keeps you dry in rain. However, If you wash the jacket a few times the Rain Resistance may not be as resilient. Overall I thing this is a nice jacket, BUT! These run a size big. Large is easily an xtra large and Medium is easily a large. So just keep that in mind for when you purchase the Columbia Straight Line Rain Jacket. I recommend this product for good quality, value and construction. Its a good buy!

I bought this jacket on sale for $27. I needed a waterproof jacket and I couldn't be more thrilled with the purchase. This jacket keeps the water off of me and is very lightweight. The only negative I can say is that it doesn't breath as well as some rain jackets but I can hardly complain given the price. I am now watching for another sale so I can buy one for my father and wife. Great jacket.

Got this item on an extreme bargain and it was worth every penny! Extremely waterproof, and the weight is excellent. Packs into a tiny little pocket (the breast pocket, for those of you wondering). The breathability is a little warmish, so don't dress too warm underneath. Size/Fit: I'm a tall guy and was a bit skeptical about only getting a large. I usually have to get XL so the sleeves are long enough, and then suffer through drowning in something that's way too baggy everywhere else. Not this one. The large fit perfectly, and the sleeves are a great length.

A bit on the bigger size for a medium. For the summer, it fits baggy. I will have room for sweater in winter. I've not had the opportunity to see how it works in the rain.

This is a nice jacket and the kind of quality that you expect from the Columbia brand. Bought it for my husband and he enjoys wearing it. It was purchased specifically to wear on our camping trips in the mountains where conditions can easily change. It worked well as both windbreaker and rain jacket for him. Mid-weight protection, but lightweight enough to pack and carry when not in use.

The jacket is very comfortable and does its job in keeping the rain out. However, the hood doesn't fit very well with my head (might just be a problem with my head) and constantly flies off even in a slight breeze. I'm usually a medium so I ordered a medium, but the jacket is a bit large for me. Other than that, it's a great jacket.

This is another quality product from Columbia. This product does appear to be cut slightly larger than listed. I was happy with this as I'm closer to a 3X anyway. But be careful as this is not always the case. I have a similar jacket from them in another color and it came sized as expected. * Omni-tech seems to be sized as expected (in my experience) * Omni-shield seems to be sized slightly larger (in my experience) I specifically order this line now because I know it tends to come slightly over sized and I usually don't find their products online in 3X.
