I purchased this for an early April visit to Iceland, and it was perfect! It kept me warm and dry, and the inner jacket was extremely warm for use w/o the outer coat. In fact, the inner jacket was the warmest of any typical insulated jackets of the same type I've had. Having two jackets in one made a big difference, in that I could pack away the outer coat while traveling and walking around towns. I certainly needed the outercoat in many circumstances, too. I really appreciated the absolute waterproofing of the coat, as I experienced heavy rainfall and waterfall drenching at times. I'm 100% pleased with this purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It fits great!! It’s super comfortable and warm, and the water doesn’t seep through!! Perfect for snow activities.
Very dissapointed in quality. I love this jacket, but all the apliques are falling off after only a month of wearing it. I reached out to Columbia and they said to return it to REI.
waterproof and warm with a zipped internal down coat. Perfect for the rain/sleet/snow conditions in the northeast. Note: Runs small-I'm usually a medium (5'4, 140 lbs but ordered a large fits perfectly
runs very small. i will return and try a large. I have never worn a large generally.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The jacket is excellent. I’ve been buying Columbia jackets for a while and they are always consistent. They keep me very warm and toasty and fit very well. They aren’t super flashy but they aren’t plain; it’s a perfect style that is not overly trendy and won’t look out of style after a few years time. Also, the value for the cost is exceptional. This jacket has a lot of features and looks great on me. I will say that the sizing took me 3 returns to get right. The size guide is a bit wonky ie thee is an XL and a 1X and a XXL so it was tough to get the right jacket size. It was a lot of ordering, trying on and then exchanges.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this coat after my old 3 in 1 with a fleece liner had zipper issues that couldn’t be repaired. Columbia warranties the old coat with no issues and I was able to get this one as a replacement. I am so happy I did as I love this version even more than the style with the fleece. I feel like this one is warmer and more Wind resistant than the fleece version. Plus the puffy inner coat looks much nicer by itself than the fleece did. Also I love the Omni heat on the inner layer. Highly recommend! I am 5ft 5in and about 165 and the large fit perfectly with enough room for bulky sweaters/sweatshirts underneath.
Loved it. Really amazing jacket.. functions as two jackets in one. It is made for mountaineering one..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Outer shell a little big. Inner jacket fits well but the belt is a little tight.
Used this jacket for skiing in Colorado. Perfectly warm and keep me dry. Would highly recommend this jacket. Did size up and it fit just right
