This jacket is a decent choice for daily use, such as commuting to work/school etc. It would also be a good choice for more laid back camping/outdoor activities. Its light and packs down well. It is waterproof and has kept me dry in some pretty heavy downpours. And while technically the material is breathable, it is very limited and will definitely build up condensation on the inside quickly if exerting yourself. The wicking effect just takes too long on this level of material. You need to spend at least 4 times as much money to get a truly breathable jacket, able to stand up to more rigorous outdoor activities.On a side note. I've read a few comments about these jackets possibly being knock offs, based on the logo not being a sewn on design, and some other cosmetic differences. I have a couple of older Columbia jackets that also have the swn on logos etc. If you go to Columbia's official website (which is what I did after reading comments about possible fake jackets) the images for this jacket (and many others) clearly show that the logo etc are some kind of printed on design. Not the sewn on kind. My guess is they switched to printed designs at some point, and some of the older stuff with the sewn designs is still in circulation along with the newer designs.

The Columbia Watertight II Rain Jacket is a top-tier choice for staying dry in wet conditions. It’s lightweight, breathable, and truly waterproof, with an adjustable hood and cuffs for a custom fit. The sleek design makes it easy to layer over clothes, and it packs down small for convenient storage. I’d love to try more outdoor gear from this vendor—exceptional quality and performance for all kinds of weather!

got this for wearing in case of working in the rain. If you’re around 6 foot 230 like me, an xl will fit fine, but if you want a little more room to layer warmer cloths underneath (I do) then a xxl works well. I think the sleeves would be a little short on the xl, glad I got the xxl because it gives a little more length to the sleeves. I’m kinda long in the arms and legs. Nice feeling quality not stiff at all, very flexible. It’s probably not the heaviest duty durable jacket that will last years of abuse, but it’s also pretty affordable. I have a very expensive and super durable mountain hardware jacket for that kind of occasion.

I bought this for golf and it works very well. It's easy to roll up and store in my golf bag and it's not too bulky to wear for golf. It definitely keeps you dry. The hood is a bit large, although it will keep your head dry which is what matters.

Great Jacket. Fits Great as long as you use size chart.
