[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this jacket they really paid attention to detail The thumb hole is really help on the cold days starting the car The technology inside with the reflective wear helps to keep you warm The hood is very big The zipper is strong and yet the jacket is still very much feminine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Columbia jacket to use during hikes and outdoor activities in cold weather, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The material is very comfortable and lightweight, while still keeping me warm extremely well, even when the temperature drops significantly. 🌲🥾
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this coat, I got so many compliments on it! Fits slightly large but not crazy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second version of this coat I've purchased - I like it that much. I'm 5'10", 162lbs, and the L fits perfectly. (Including the sleeves being long enough - woo hoo!) I also purchased this coat in a different colorway, size XL, a few years ago. I still love that one too, it's just too roomy now that I've lost some lbs. I do plan to keep it though and wear if I really need to bundle up with thicker layers.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coat is everything I was looking for. It has a flattering mid thigh length for a shorter person (5'3) and it feels warm enough for a cold NE winter but it still has a feminine look as they don't have to use as much fill with the omni heat inside layer. The sleeves are a bit long but not a deal breaker. The hood has pull strings which have a loop to stay out of the way which is nice. The medium is ever so slightly tight in the shoulders/arm area but going to the next size up would be too large. I wish the shoulders and arms were just a cm larger so layering under the coat would be more comfortable. Too bad this coat doesn't come in Navy as well or a few other colors (I don't like color blocks)!
I bought this before the winter and was disappointed in the quality. I read the warmth rating and knew it wasn't the heaviest option, but I felt like I could feel a cold breeze right through this jacket. Then, I recently wore it when it was raining, and the sleeves were left with these weird stains.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was very light when i pulled it out of the pacakge. When i put it on it looks very slimming. So far i have been wearing it in 20 degree weather and snow. Im plenty warm if not too warm and staying dry. Ive purchased a few winter jackets from Columbia but this one is my favorite.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket is one of my favorite. It’s warm, cozy and comfortable. Runs true to size. I love the length, not too long or short. I will definitely recommend!!
