Why We Love This Deal
A good rain jacket should keep you dry in a downpour, then disappear into a bag when the sun finally comes out. Columbia’s Watertight II has been a go-to for years because of this, and because at $100, it’s a relatively good deal. Well, thanks to Macy’s Friends and Family sale, which is live until Nov. 3, you can get the super lightweight jacket for an even better rate—it’s currently 40% off.
The Columbia Watertight II Rain Jacket was already discounted down to $86, and with that extra 30% off from the sale event, it takes the price down to $60. That price is for all sizes and all colors, too, but what’s even nicer is how well-rated it is—the jacket has over 1,000 five-star reviews, so you can feel confident that when you put it on, it’s going to do its job well. Make sure to check out the rest of Columbia’s deals at Macy’s, too, because there are hundreds of other products on sale to choose from.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Material: Nylon shell, polyester lining, Omni-Tech breathable fabric

- Features: Fully seam-sealed, attached adjustable hood, drawcord hem, packs into hand pocket
- Pockets: Zippered hand pockets
- Best For: Commuting, hiking, travel, everyday wet weather
Columbia’s Omni-Tech fabric allows this jacket to repel rain while letting excess heat escape, so you don’t get soaked from the inside on a hike or a brisk walk. The sealed seams close off spots where cheaper shells usually leak, and the adjustable hood and drawcord hem help lock out wind and rain. For packability, the jacket can be stuffed into its own hand pocket, making it easy to carry around in a backpack or carry-on.
Entry-level shells from other premium outdoor brands run well over $150 at full price, and budget picks like REI Co-op’s Rainer Rain Jacket start at $100, mirroring this jacket at its normal price. It’s a big upgrade from a windbreaker or a rain jacket that’s not seam-sealed, hailing from a proven outdoor brand.
