Wow, I knew Columbia made great stuff, but this one is on top of the Columbia list for me. It checks off all the boxes for what you’d want in a nice warming jacket. This jacket is lightweight so it’s perfect for cooler evening walks or pretty much anything outside. For full snow I always go with my Columbia snow gear though. Okay, what makes this jack perfect you ask? Well, it is really good looking - from the color to how it’s put together it imbues high quality. It couldn’t be more comfortable - from the felt lined zippered pockets to the fabric of the insulated fabric this is one smooth jacket. It just feels great having it on. The warmth factor is also really good considering how lightweight it is. I think Columbia have attained the perfect balance of form, factor, and real-world use in a jacket. It’s also machine washable so that makes things easier for taking care of it. The material repels water (not waterproof, but perfect for light precipitation) and it repels stains too. I am an XL and that’s what I ordered and it fits me perfectly so I consider their sizing options realistic and correct. I can’t say enough about how much I love this jacket. I look forward to the cooler temperatures so I can wear this. Heck, I’m already wearing it because I love it so much. Absolutely a strong wholehearted recommend for anyone wanting a supreme quality warming jacket that is of exceptional quality.
