Columbia Arcadia Jacket vs REI Co-op Stormbolt Jacket

The Columbia Arcadia Jacket (Women's) was loved by reviewers at Wirecutter, a highly trusted source that performs reliable in-depth testing. It did great in its "Best Men’s and Women’s Rain Jackets and Raincoats" roundup where it was named its "Ranked 3 out of 10", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

As for the REI Co-op Stormbolt Jacket (Women's) - OutdoorGearLab, a source that conducts reliable hands-on testing, has featured it in its REI Co-op Stormbolt GTX Review roundup. However, it didn't make it to any of the top spots.
