Columbia Women's Kruser Ridge™ Soft Shell Jacket - 5343

I got this jacket in a size S in black, and XS in white to try to find out what size/color I really wanted. I returned the white because it did have a dirt mark on it, and even though it was easy to remove I know with pets and kids I didn't want to take the chance of always getting marks on it. If you are deciding between the XS and S, it depends on what you want to wear underneath it. With the S I am able to comfortably have a thin long sleeve shirt, or even a thicker flannel on underneath and not feel like the arms are tight. If I have just the thin long sleeve on under the XS it felt a little too tight. The XS was shorter than the S, and I loved how much longer the S was because I hate having to constantly pull down my jacket. The sleeve seemed like the same length, they are longer than most jackets. I went out into the light rain and it just beaded on the jacket and shook right off! Definitely warm and worth the money! (I am 5'1 125lbs)

Size is good, but it runs a little too long (both arm and torso). I commute on bike. Very much appreciate the material that shields wind early in the morning. I also like the zip on the pockets, and the high collar. I haven't worn it in pouring rain, but light rain, this jacket works well. I still pack a light rain coat when I go hiking in the mountains in our unpredictable northwest weather.
