Hikebound II Long Waterproof Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great rain jacket material and weight. 1 correction should be made to functionality of jacket.... the string inside jacket is long and gets in way of zipper and gets stuck on velcro frequently freying the string. A draw string with tension and toggles would add better functionality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used to have a Columbia rain coat like this years ago, so I was excited to see this type of color and style again. Unfortunately, the XL was too big and the L was too snug in the hips. I wish they would carry more styles for women with wide hips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Dark Stone jacket in a medium size. I was concerned about the sizing because I’m 5’1”, but it looks fantastic. The color makes it stand out from a regular rain jacket, and the fabric and adjustments (waist, hood, sleeves) are perfect, giving it a fitted yet stylish look. The double zipper is a must-have for any jacket below the hips. Although it doesn’t claim to be packable, I think it is if you fold the sides toward the center (with sleeves) and then roll it to the hood, folding the hood over. I’m excited to use this jacket during my upcoming trips to Europe, whether I’m exploring the city or going on a trail adventure.
