I love this jacket. Figure flattering fit, unlike my North Face Resolve. I got the large, I am 5'5", 170lb, fits with room for another light layer. Have worn in moderate rainfall, stayed dry. It's a little noisy, swishy sounding, but not too annoying. The black is a nice black, solid. Packs away inside pocket easily.
Exactly as shown, good quality!

I've gotten to wear this rain jacket once, because it's summer, but it's extremely well-made, the color is exactly as shown, and I'm very happy I bought it! Couldn't beat the price, either. Bought a small and medium (I'm 5'9" and weigh 130 with looooong arms), and the small fit well (arms were just barely long enough), but with all of the layers that I wear under my raincoats in the PNW, I ended up keeping the medium and returning the small. Returned it with no issues for a refund.

Does this jacket fit more closely to the body or is it loose?

It is exactly like the picture. It is a loose fit, but slightly tapered at the waist. So it looks like a woman's jacket, not a boxy man's jacket. I have 3 colors XXL and 1x. Most people don't realize XXL is a 45 in bust, and 1x is a 44 in bust...so xxl has more room in the waist, less fitted. I'm 45 around the chest (38 F=38DDDD), and I have a tummy. Fits great nd looks nice : ) Perfect for rain and wind.

It fits the body. It is not loose.

The red camellia color looks more pink than red. Which is it closer to?

Is the Columbia Arcadia Jacket light enough for summer weather?
SHEETAL P
It's thin jacket! I think it's moreover for rain and provides some protection! So yes light enough for summer

Absolutely! It is perfect for summer rain and windy days. The material is durable and doesn't make you sweat like other waterproof jackets do, I get compliments on it all the time. I"m still shocked that it never wrinkles, even after stuffing it in my bag! You won't be disappointed!

It is a rain jacket. Weight wise it is very light. It is just a waterproof material with no additional lining inside for warmth so I would say yes. I grab it on a rainy summer day in upstate ny when running errands and have no issues.

it's extremely light, but if it's humid, you will get sweaty

Depends on what your summer weather is. Good for us in Colorado where we can get in the 40s at night. It's a great mid-weight rain coat.
