  • Size differences between Ascender & Ascender II
Color: Collegiate Navy Size: Large Tall
I just purchased both the Ascender and Ascender II jackets in Large-Tall to compare the fit and feel between the two. I am 6' 2" and about 220 pounds, on a middle ground between wearing standard size and tall size clothes. Because of my size, fit is everything. If the Ascender could be considered the original version of this jacket, then the Ascender II is the "slim fit" version. Here are the differences I noticed: - The upper body of the Ascender II is much slimmer than the original Ascender. I would estimate the Ascender II to accommodate chest sizes a good 1-2 inches smaller than the Ascender can accommodate. - As others have noted, the fit between the two jackets is most noticeable in the shoulders/armpits. Arm cutouts on the original Ascender, while still trim, are much more generous than on the II. As a result, only slimmer arms will have an easy time slipping into the sleeves of the II. - Sleeves are about half an inch longer on the II as compared to the original. Sleeves on the original are also slightly wider all the way down to the wrist. - The collar is much larger on the II than the original. When popped up, the collar of the II has a very pronounced look and sticks out a good bit. When fully zipped to the top, the original Ascender provides more neck room. This is not to say the Ascender II is not a good jacket. It's just the version you'd want to get if your frame allows you to wear "slim fit" or "tailored fit" clothes. If that's not you, then the original Ascender is the jacket for you. ... show more

  • Perfect! Comfy!
Color: Black Size: 5X Tall
For a large guy that just over 400lbs (don't hate), this coat fits perfectly. I highly recommend this coat. I also recommend buying the tall version if you have a tall torso. Its very comfortable. Im going to buy one for my son!

  • Husband loves it!
Color: Black Size: Large Tall
Bought this for my husband for Christmas as he needed a new coat. He runs hot and is often in and out of many buildings a day for work so I wanted something lightweight that would still be decently warm. I would say combined with a long sleeve or sweater this coat is good for him for down to 25-30 degrees for short periods of time outside. I ordered the L long because he is 6’3 and doesn’t like his clothes super fitted or anything to be too short. For the most part it fits nice but is a little on the loose side, good for layering under. The sleeves are a bit long but not bad enough to warrant sizing down. Overall it was a great deal for a nice jacket! ... show more

  • Great jacket
Color: Black Size: 4X Tall
My son is built like a linebacker. At 6'5" and 325 lbs with a long torso, it is hard to find clothes that fit. Regular extra sized shirts come to his navel. We live in Florida so a super heavy jacket is not a necessity but there are plenty of winter days when you need more than a little something something, especially when you start work at 4 am. This jacket fit that bill. The outside work well to keep the wind out while the inner layer is just enough to ward off a chill. He typically wears a 3xl tall and that size is usually plenty roomy. But the 3xl tall in the first Columbia jacket I ordered was tight across the chest. I ordered this one in a 4xl tall and it fits perfectly. This is a really nice jacket for the price. My husband owns the same jacket and loves it. ... show more

  • Nice Jacket
Color: Black Size: Large Tall
First off, I'm 6'5" (1.96 m), 200 lbs (91 kg) and have an athletic build. I ordered size Large Tall. The Fit: The fit is reasonably good. The shoulders fit very well, the chest has enough room. The body length is good and this is the first jacket I've had in a long time where the sleeves are sufficiently long. The sleeves also are large enough to be comfortable moving around. The mid-section doesn't fit as well. Like many tall sized clothes, the assumption seems to be that if you're tall you must also be big. It would be nice if it came in an inch or two from the chest to just above the waist. This isn't as bad when wearing a sweatshirt or sweater, but when just wearing a t-shirt or dress shirt it is almost too big. I decided to keep it anyway because it's hard to find a tall jacket that is tall enough, and even though the mid-section is big, it doesn't look worse for it. Features: This is what you would expect from a softshell jacket. It is warm enough to work for temps just below freezing, maybe lower if you layer. It is not as wind resistant as I expected, but isn't bad. I haven't tried it in the rain yet. The pockets are large and insulated, so they will keep your hands warm. Overall it's a solid jacket. It is more comfortable than the LL Bean jacket it replaced, and $40 cheaper. ... show more

  • We’ll made and great looking
Color: Stone Green Size: Large Tall
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. It is the perfect weight for the cool winters of Central Coast CA. Stylish enough for casual events, but also great for camping.

  • You get what you pay for
Color: Black Size: Large Tall
I followed advice from others and ordered the Tall large. I'm 6'4" and about 210 lbs. So the fit seems right. It comes with a price tag of $125, but it's hard to believe that anyone would have paid that. At $36 the price is right, but this is not a great jacket. The sleeves are way long and would be good if your sleeve length is 37-38. I knew it would have the chest zipper that I hate. No pockets inside, but at least all of the pockets zip. The jacket smells of the synthetic of which it's made. It reminds me a bit of my snorkeling/diving suit. I've been seeking to replace a great LL Bean fleece and this is not it. I guess I'll keep this, but I wonder if I'll become more fond of it or stop wearing it. ... show more
