I chose the Hikebound II jacket for rainy days and trips because I was looking for something practical and affordable that I could safely put in my backpack. In the rain, it performs very well: water rolls right off it, and you can walk comfortably even in a heavy downpour or drizzle. The jacket has an appropriate weight, it's not heavy, and the Greenscape/Mossy Green colors look attractive in person and are not too intense. I did notice one drawback: when I pick up the pace or go uphill, it can get stuffy inside. That's not a big issue though, as that's just how these types of jackets are—they protect well from rain but are a bit less effective with ventilation. You also have to adjust the hood carefully, because it can puff up a bit in the wind. All in all, as a practical rain jacket for the season, it worked out excellently for me. It doesn't really provide warmth—the main advantages are protection from rain and wearing comfort, plus the ability to throw it in your backpack without worrying.
Columbia Hikebound II Jacket - Iron/Flint Grey
A jacket available in Iron/Flint Grey is crafted from durable polyester and features a waterproof Omni-Tech membrane. Engineered as a lightweight shell layer, the design delivers reliable protection from rain and wind while maintaining breathability for active pursuits outdoors.
The regular fit offers unrestricted movement and excellent comfort. Ideal for trekking as well as everyday wear, the model adapts seamlessly to variable weather conditions.
Durable polyester
Constructed from polyester fabric, the jacket provides reliable protection against light rain and wind. Manufactured completely free of harmful PFAS chemicals, the jacket’s inner layer features a polyester mesh lining to enhance ventilation.
Omni-Tech membrane, sealed seams
Outfitted with an Omni-Tech membrane, the jacket delivers advanced protection. Constructed from waterproof and breathable material, it ensures dryness and comfort even in intense rain conditions, while still permitting airflow to the skin. Incorporation of sealed seams further minimizes the likelihood of water penetration, significantly boosting moisture defense.
Three zippered pockets
Outfitted with three functional pockets, the model ensures secure storage for key gear and accessories.
- Two pockets are positioned at the hips, each featuring a zip closure.
- A single chest pocket is included, also equipped with a zip closure.
Adjustable cuffs and hem of the jacket
Velcro-adjustable cuffs offer protection from cold air and wind. A drawstring with stopper at the bottom hem ensures an improved fit to the user's physique while effectively blocking wind from entering beneath the jacket.
Zipper, spacious hood
A robust zipper secures the jacket along its entire length. The high collar, equipped with a chin guard, shields the neck from wind exposure. An adjustable hood provides enhanced defense against both wind and rain, with a design that allows it to conform to the wearer's head for increased stability during intense movement.
