ColumbiaGirl's Switchback Ii Jacket

This is the perfect lightweight raincoat for our Texas spring and summers! I bought a larger size, for longer wear, for our granddaughter for her first school field trip to a strawberry farm. It was a horrible rainy day and this jacket kept her dry without being too hot. I kept asking her if she wanted to take it off after the rain, but she never wanted to! She loves it.

I bought this jacket for my daughter and she loves it. It is lightweight for a warm rainy day but is loose enough where she could wear a sweatshirt under it. Since it is Columbia brand, the quality is fantastic and the price was better than in the store.

This is a perfect, lightweight spring jacket. It’s a pretty, bright color. It fits true to size. This jacket is the great quality you’d expect from this company. It was a good value.

I recently purchased the Columbia Girls' Switchback II Jacket for my daughter, and all in all, I am quite happy with it. We took it on a trip to Jackson Hole, and it did a great job keeping her dry in the rain. As any parent knows, finding a jacket that your kid actually likes is a win in itself, and this jacket met my daughter’s approval on the style front right away. She’s picky, so that’s saying something!Pros:1. Keeps My Daughter Dry:The most important thing I wanted from this jacket was protection from the rain, and it delivers. The Switchback II is water-resistant and does a fantastic job of keeping water out, even in heavier showers. We got caught in some rain during our trip to Jackson Hole, and my daughter stayed completely dry, which was a huge relief for me.2. Stylish:My daughter is very fashion-conscious, and I was so surprised that this jacket passed her "style test." She just loves the bright color options; we went with a fun, vibrant hue. The jacket is sleek and modern, not too bulky, which is important for her, especially when she's wearing it to school or out with friends. It's become her go-to rainy-day jacket, even here in Texas.3. Adaptable for All Climates:While this jacket doesn't provide a lot of warmth on its own, it's perfect for rainy days in more temperate climates, such as at school in Texas or during the mild spring days in Jackson Hole. It's lightweight and very breathable, which makes it ideal for layering over a fleece or hoodie when it's colder.Cons:1. Not Warm Enough on Its Own:It keeps the rain off incredibly well, though this doesn't add warmth to speak of. We experienced chilliness in Jackson Hole on this trip, and my daughter was able to feel a little chilly if not moving around much. I could have ordered it in a larger size to make her feel warmer by layering her up with some other items: fleece, jacket, etc. My lesson learned! In cold weather conditions, this jacket would be used along with other clothing for the proper temperature range desired by her.2. Fit:As I said, I'd suggest sizing up if you are planning on layering. It fits true to size, but there's just not much room for layering, so if you're in a colder climate or want to add a warm shell inside, I'd suggest going a size larger than you normally would.Conclusion:The Columbia Girls' Switchback II Jacket is a good choice to keep your girl dry on rainy days and please her with its style. Ideal for mild weather or layered over warmer clothing for colder days, the Switchback II doesn't offer much warmth itself but does exactly what it should - keep her dry and looking good. If you live in a cooler climate or need something for colder temperatures, just be sure to size up and add an extra layer underneath. Whether it's for a trip to Jackson Hole or rainy school days in Texas, this jacket has quickly become a staple in my daughter's wardrobe.

Love this little jacket. It’s super lightweight, which works well for my 8 year old since she runs hot. Great quality, definitely more of a milder weather jacket, would not recommend for winter.

Perfect for spring showers when it’s not real cold. Also works good as a windbreaker for my daughter. She loves it and it fits her well.

My daughter likes it. As pictured. It’s hard to find good clothes on this crazy site but this company never disappoints.
