In the physical store, I tried on Columbia jackets and softshells, probably about 6 pieces. I was 100% sure that size L was perfect. Unfortunately, this model is like an XL (even though the label says everything's fine). Theoretically, the fit is Regular, but in my opinion, it's loose. The chest pocket is a bit too large and too deep—if you put a wallet or ticket in there, it'll slide almost down to the pocket below. The quality of workmanship is visibly very good, the softshell material is different than in North Face, softer, very pleasant. Oh! The hood—slightly insulated, good size, not meant for under a helmet. Will I try size M? Probably not, this oversized chest pocket is the deciding factor.
Columbia Gate Racer II Softshell Jacket - Greenscape
A wind-resistant and breathable jacket crafted from durable softshell fabric in Greenscape. The exterior layer is treated with a water-repellent finish, ensuring reliable protection against rainfall.
Durable polyester, fleece lining, hydrophobic coating
Constructed from robust and flexible polyester fabric, the jacket offers reliable protection against light rain, courtesy of a hydrophobic finish. The outer layer is treated with an Omni-Shield coating to guard against dirt and prevent moisture from penetrating the fabric. Breathability is maintained, minimizing the risk of overheating during intense activity. A soft fleece lining on the interior shields against cold and increases thermal insulation.

Materials with Omni-Shield technology are coated with a layer that resists water and dirt, as well as the external factors, up to 76 degrees Celsius. Clothing with Omni-Shield technology dries 3 to 5 times faster as it doesn't store moisture like traditional fabrics, thanks to which it remains lightweight even when wet.
