Columbia Watertight II Jacket - Light Camel

My rating may not be entirely reliable because this year the weather was good and the jacket wasn't tested in very heavy rains. However, it performs excellently in light and moderate showers. It's very lightweight, breathable, doesn't take up space in the backpack, and you can barely feel it. My old poncho was heavier and looked like a classic potato sack ;)

I am delighted with this jacket, as it really protects against moisture, which is often lacking even in jackets described as 'waterproof'. Additionally, it effectively shields from the cold.

I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but it looks great, it's very lightweight and makes a very positive impression. I chose a slightly larger size to fit something else underneath. The jacket is well made, and I hope it proves itself during mountain hikes.

I received it as a gift. The jacket is of high quality. It protects very well against rain, is very light and thin. For a rain jacket, it provides decent ventilation. It's great that you can fold it into its own pocket – it becomes a small pouch that can be easily stored almost anywhere. The sizing matches the description. I recommend the shop Militaria, the service is of the highest standard.

I needed a lightweight jacket with a membrane that I could always carry in my backpack and put on during sudden rain or as an extra layer for evening returns. This jacket meets these requirements – it has a membrane, no unnecessary insulation, and mesh inside. You can roll it up into its own pocket, which makes it very easy to carry; when packed, it measures about 25x16x6 cm and can be flattened even more. Size L weighs 409g – there are lighter jackets, but those are much more expensive. So far, I've used it a few times, but I haven't had the chance to test it in the rain yet. The jacket doesn't have ventilation openings under the arms or on the back, which may negatively affect breathability. Unfortunately, models with such options and a good membrane are definitely more expensive. The hood can't be tucked into the collar. The jacket is very simple, without extras. Overall, it has made a good impression on me – it's solidly made, the zipper works smoothly and goes high up under the chin, it rustles a bit when walking but isn't particularly loud. I also like the subdued, non-flashy "Stone Green" colour and the fact that the jacket doesn't have any reflective inserts.
