I could thoroughly test it in my jacket this year's mountain walking holiday and can say that I have not sold me.
The jacket is cut sporttiv and are very light. It is completely windproof and also provides for easy single-digit temperatures (6-8 degrees) enough thermal insulation. Ideal if you do, for example, sweaty in the mountains or break arrives on a windswept summit. She has sufficient breathability. You sweat in her (100% breathable does not exist!), But one does not sweat broke up. The body temperature remains at a comfortable level. The dry season is very short.
The Columbia holds sometimes a drizzle (over a longer period) without any problems from. An absolutely waterproof raincoat they can not replace (the one should additionally with you). Therefore, one should not be too optimistic and not fail in stronger rainfall early on pull an absolutely waterproof jacket.
Even on cooler summer evenings in the high mountains it is to enjoy the perfect companion to eg the evening atmosphere. But you have to make it clear that it is the product is a pure summer jacket. So nothing for Autumn / Winter.
The size sizes normal. I usually wear 54 and the jacket in XL sitting sporty, but not too tight. But a slight Fleecepulli still fits easily underneath.
Anyone looking for a lightweight, windproof, water-repellent jacket for summer hiking and do not want to dig deep into his pocket, can access safely here.
