If it ain't broke...
The Essential Hike jacket seems to be a new version of the Park View Grid fleece jacket. IMO the Park View full-zip Grid Fleece jacket was "essential"--a versatile go-to item for travel. So why did Columbia cheapen up the design of the original by removing the zip side pockets? The functional triple zip-pocket layout of the Park View was what set it apart. It makes me wonder what else has been changed/cheapened in this new version.
Not a runner but works for me when hiking.
Not too thin but not too thick. I bought it for walking/hiking. It will work well on spring/fall days and as a mid-layer as the air cools further. Pockets along the side “seams” make it a bit unhandy when you want both hands in your pockets but not really a hassle. Decent price and good quality.
Affordable and did what it was suppose to.
Sleek, comfortable, stylish, and warm. Most importantly it didn’t break the bank. Kept me warm in the 40’s over a sun hoodie on 5 mile hike and overnight. I would recommend for sure. For less than $80 I was very impressed.
Don’t buy-Material is useless-00 durability value
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes soft and breathable but zero durability. After one week the material started to come un done. Spend a few extra and get the Patagonia. It’s same look and feel and functionality but much more durable.
Nice item
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the material very comfortable and perfect size
