Columbia Boys Glennaker Rain Jacket

We live in the Pacific Northwest with rain 9 months out of the year. I re-buy this same jacket in a bigger size every time my kiddo grows out of it. It is a shell rain jacket, meaning there is no warmth to it intentionally so it’s wearable most of the year. In the spring, it’s great because it’s light enough just to keep you dry with an t-shirt under but in the winter you need to wear a fleece underneath it (which we also get from Columbia and matching rain-pants). That said, he wears this rain jacket the most both with and without layers but then when it’s extremely cold or snowy we have a significantly thicker, puffy style water-resistant jacket. I always purchase it a little bit bigger so he has room to grow and to accommodate layers underneath. It runs a little long, which is amazing because it covers his rain pants quite a bit so doesn’t allow him to get soaked between those layers. We are partial to two piece rain suits now rather than the all in one pieces (we used when he was much younger) because it’s easier for him to quickly go to the restroom when needed by just pulling the pants part down instead of entirely getting out of the top and bottom part of a suit. Measurements are: Weight: 35.5 lbs Shoulder to fingertip: 17 inches Base of neck to lower back: 12 inches Across chest and shoulder: 10 inches This is an XXS/size 4-5, *which is different/bigger than their toddler size 4*.

I love this style of rain jacket and I think it fits really nice. It seems pretty durable and it did a good job at keeping the rain off of me. It’s not too thick. It’s actually quite thin which I prefer since I get warm pretty fast overall, really like this jacket and I think the quality is quite good. The zipper seems Good too. It doesn’t look like it’ll get caught. Read more

It fits true to size and is super lightweight, which makes it great for layering. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is that it feels a bit thin, but overall, it’s a fantastic jacket. You really can't go wrong with Columbia! Perfect for those rainy days! 🌧️✨ Read more

The jacket fits true to size and is easy for kids to move around in without feeling bulky. It also packs down nicely for storage or travel.

We bought this rain coat for my son when he was going on a campout. It fits true to size and did keep him dry that weekend. It is pretty thin so it rolls up and packs nicely in his hiking backpack so he always takes it with him. It feels well made and that is to be expected with Columbia products. When he grows out of this one I would not hesitate to get him another one of these. Read more
