Having owned this exact same jacket in a different color for the past few years, & having lost weight, I thought it was reasonable to order it in a smaller size. Dead wrong. I took advantage of the handy Prime Wardrobe option to look at different color options - only to learn that Columbia has skimped on these jackets & they are a full size too small, possibly closer to 2 sizes. Another downgrade is that the belt is no longer detachable. Because it's lightweight & suited to travel, I bit the bullet & reluctantly went back up to the larger size.
Luckily the hood remains generous & covers my head... a proportionately skimpy hood would have been a deal breaker. The jacket also provides coverage over my hips, not so easy to find when you're 5'8". The 'Cloudburst' is definitely darker than depicted, but still a nice teal. So the trench receives three stars for those design features. But especially for the price tag, I'm extremely disappointed in the sizing.
