Columbia Men's Whistler Peak Outdry Shell Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket fits great and has been excellent for riding in South Florida rain. I live in Miami, so humidity was one of my biggest concerns, and this shell performs much better than expected. Sweat evaporates quickly, and I do not get that sticky, uncomfortable feeling that some rain gear creates. The feature set is really well thought out. The Velcro wrist closures are a valuable addition because they let me get a tight seal and help prevent water from working its way in through the sleeves. That matters a lot for me because I ride an electric bike, and small details like that make a real difference in wet conditions. The rear adjustment on the hood is also excellent. I can wear the hood comfortably under my safety helmet and still get a smooth, secure fit. The pockets do a great job keeping my wallet and phone dry, and overall the jacket has kept me completely dry in the rain. It is also comfortable and looks great on. It creates a distinct vibe in bad weather without feeling bulky or awkward. I ride my E-Ride Pro SS 3.0 throughout Miami, Miami Beach, North Beach, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles, Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Pompano Beach, Boca Beach, Brickell, South Miami, and beyond, and this shell has been a strong performer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a Small Black (which is really smoke grey or a really faded black) and it fits me like a glove with enough room to layer a zip up hoodie underneath if needed for warmth. I’m 5”7 32 waist. The new light weight material is pretty cool and is great for cycling, hiking etc. Rain just beads off and there is extra material on the shoulders for backpack rub spots. We shall see how durable it is as the new outdry is really thin and light in comparison to my old outdry titanium rain jacket.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this jacket. Only issue was the online sizing guide suggested a size that was one size too big so I had to do an exchange. But the jacket is perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent waterproof jacket. Online fit guide is off. Go with the size you normally wear. It’s nice that I don’t have to reapply DWR ever or at least not as frequently.

Works as intended, keeps me dry and happy. I haven’t used it in very rainy and wet conditions yet but so far it works well.

Great abrasion resistant features. Breathes well and doesn't get too sticky on the inside in high humidity. Rode for 20 miles in the rain on my bicycle in this jacket and stayed dry the entire time even with the pit zips all the way open. The one downside is the zippers are a bit hard to use on the fly and require you to be gentle enough not to unzip them too far. One of my pocket zippers popped off once. However it looks like this issue was already resolved with a more durable zipper in the latest iteration. Amazing rain shell overall!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Jacket, fairly light, great pit zips, one of my favorite rain shells I've ever had

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight and durable. Seems very waterproof but haven't tested in rain.
