  • Great jacket for everyday use at a great price!
Color: Columbia Grey Size: Medium
Let me start off by saying I bought one of these jacket about 4 years ago at belk but in black. I pretty much wear it all the time and it still looks great! I decided to buy the same jacket but in grey since I love my other one so much but couldn't find it anywhere except here on amazon. I'm so glad I found it and ordered it. This jacket is exactly like the other one I have. Both are soft shell, Both repel water, and both keep you nice and warm. The quality of the jacket is great! I haven't had any loose threads, holes, or stitches coming off and I've had this second one for almost a year now. I'm 5" 11' about 200 pounds I usually wear a large but I went with a medium and it fits me just right. If you want the jacket to be a bit more loose I would go a size up. My only comment would be that I wish it had a pocket on the inside but that's it. Overall great jacket, great price, would 100% recommend and buy again. ... show more

  • Best purchase EVER
Color: Black Size: XX-Large
I wanted to get a head start for the fall and this jacket is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been trying to drop some weight so I’m in that awkward in between stages but still a little fluffy so it’s been a challenge with sizes but stayed with the xxl and it fits perfect. I don’t mind the extra room and the end of the sleeves are adjustable, comes with a velcro band. I’m very happy with my jacket. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • The best jacket I love from Columbia
Color: Black Size: Large
I had this jacket for 6 months give or take. 5’5 Man 160Lbs. Jacket has no tear, water resistance to this day (slides right off.) Price honestly, is great. Yes, it’s expensive but it’s one of my favorite jackets. Keeps you warm and makes you like prestigious?! Pockets are also great. No pockets in the inside would have put the icing on the cake, kinda sad about that. Honestly, great. 5/5 water resistance (Legit went through a thunderstorm trying to go to my car once, my clothing underneath was not wet at all.) 5/5 style 4/5 pockets 4/5 price (get it if it’s on discount) 5/5 would recommend ... show more

I have been searching for a nice light weight wind and water repellent jacket without a hood. This is the perfect jacket. I’m very happy with it. I’m considering getting another one in a different color. Great material well made.
