The EvaPOURation jacket over a wool midlayer provided great protection from cold and wet conditions, and stayed comfortable when the weather settled down. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY: Columbia Women's EvaPOURation Jacket features our signature, air-permeable protection thatâ€s waterproof and breathable to shield you from drizzle to downpour. If you’re stowing the jacket in a pack as a “just in case” measure, it compresses completely into one of the hand pockets, in a size that’s a bit larger than the 2-day first aid kit we carry.

A performance blend of waterproof-breathability and advanced wicking technology keeps you dry and comfortable inside and out. When the jacket is zipped closed, the cuffs ride up significantly when we extend our arms, and the shoulders feel quite snug for our broader shouldered ladies. It is simple, with just-right pit zips (unlike the ridiculous half-sized, chaffing pit zippers on the Mountain Hardwear Ozonic).BREATHABILITY: Waterproof and advanced wicking technology keep you dry and comfortable while, under arm vents deliver ultimate breathability.

layers contenders, the Evapouration steamed up inside quickly when all sealed up when we made tracks uphill.

The torso and arm lengths are on the shorter side of the jackets we reviewed, which means slightly less coverage, but it should not be a problem for many body types. This jacket does a good job sealing out the rain, but we found it doesn't seal around the face as well as other models. While this jacket ventilates well enough via the pit zips and mesh-lined hand pockets, overall we found the breathability lacking.

If the Marmot PreCip - Women's weren't the poster child for performance and value, this jacket would be a winner.

The EvaPOURation has pit zips, velcro adjustable hood and cuffs, waterproofed zippers, and two hand pockets. Our only complaint is that the shoulders are quite narrow and the arms much shorter than other jackets in this review.
