Customer Reviews Columbia Fast Trek™ II Full-Zip Fleece Jacket

I ordered it in L and XL since I wasn't sure which one would fit me better. I am glad I did that because I prefer how the L fits on my body. I am 5'5" and about 170 lb. I wish the reviews had people posting more about their height/weight to give a better idea of the fit. The jacket is great! Really good quality and just the right amount of warm for spring/fall weather. It is soft and the length of the jacket and the arms is just about perfect for me. The fit/style of the jacket gives your body a nice shape when you wear it instead of just hanging loose on your body like a sweatshirt. Well worth the amount you spend on it!

This is a great basic mid weight fleece. It wears well and is a flattering shape. I bought a size small to fit over shirts, for a little extra room and I am happy with that. In tees and shirts I usually wear an XS.

I really like this jacket and ordered two. The Fast Trek II is a thick weave fleece and warmer than other fleece I have. It is cut to be form fitting which I like. The sleeves are long and cover the the tops of my hands which is great in cold weather and adds style. I have long arms and sleeves are a bit longer than shown on model. The sleeves are also more form fitting than other jackets which is fine, although this fleece "grabs" so putting it on over a long sleeve shirt can be difficult. There is a small zip pocket on the upper left arm.

This jacket is just what I was looking for - I am not a fan of bulky coats and I wanted something that would be lightweight enough to wear in the spring but warm enough to wear while running errands, etc. My only complaint is that it's a little boxy rather than form fitting but I still love it.

I normally wear Patagonia jackets, but they changed to some weird fleece that I don't like at all. My old Patagonia was getting worn out and I wanted a new fleece jacket so thought I would try this one. SO GLAD I did! It fits perfectly and just the right amount of warmth for a summer trip to Iceland & Sweden. Will be great for the upcoming fall here at home and also paired with a down vest this winter. Great jacket.

Runs true to size. It is warm but light. I use this for cool weather. I like the length and it covers my hips. Washes and dries beautifully. No shedding.

I had to get a new jacket after my second baby. I'm 5'7 and 160 lbs and the medium fitted me perfectly. I can't wait to wear it for upcoming ski trip.

Love these jackets. I bought the black medium for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. The style has changed slightly from last year's version with the sleeve zip pocket and trim fit. The medium was a bit tight on her so I exchanged for a large. The large is not as roomy as my large from last year. There is a definite difference but I think the trim fit is more complimentary and they are so warm - much warmer than a regular hoodie.

Love this wearing it now super comfortable and warm

I needed a fleece jacket that I could use for layering on hikes. I got a size medium and it is perfect! I am 5'7" and weigh 150 lbs. I was happy that the sleeves were on the long side, lately jackets that I have bought have had shorter sleeves. It's a good weight, long enough, and a nice dark black.

I am very pleased with this jacket. I purchased a size medium in red. I am 5'4" and usually wear a small or medium in tops and jackets, depending on the brand. This jacket has a tailored fit through the torso, making it flattering as well as functional. The sleeves are just the right length for me, ending just below the wrist bone. It doesn't feel heavy, but it is very warm.

Love this! I bought it to wear to workouts and it's exactly the right weight to get me from my car to the facility even in Chicago's frigid temps. I've received numerous compliments on the color, coral glow, which is in reality a really pretty salmon. I wear 14/16 and was fearful that the fit would be too tight so I thought about going up from an XL, but that's not the case at all. The XL is a perfect fit. So, if you're looking for warm, pretty and well & comfortably fitting buy this. The price is great and the value is even better.

I first ordered the similar Benton Springs fleece jacket, but it was much too small. I then ordered the Fast Trek II jacket and it fit well. It was a Christmas gift for my mother which she liked very much.

My first Columbia brand fleece, and I see what the hype is about.. very warm and comfortable. Also body flattering in comparison to most fleece jackets that offer no form fitting shape. I plan to buy more for the rest of the family.

I purchased this item as a gift for my mother. I have not yet given it to her, but I think she will be pleased with it. The Columbia Sportswear fleece items I have in my wardrobe get a lot of wear and are comfortable for me. I wanted to give Mom a warm garment that she can wear without worrying about damaging it or having difficulty laundering it. I have knitted several sweaters for her that she enjoys wearing, but she limits wearing them to Sunday for church. She is 91 and has difficulty staying warm, even though her house is snug and cozy. I think this jacket will become a favorite for her.

I just find it some were else a little cheaper

I am 5-6 and 110 lbs. I ordered the small and it fits perfect. I am 35 inches in chest so this fit is better than the XS as I wanted to wear a shirt under. Nice slimming shape compared to other boxy fleeces. It is a light fall/spring weight.

I have this jacket in a different color and wanted one in a neutral color (sea salt). It will go with me to Europe where it will be a "sweater" and then the "lining" under a wind breaker/rain jacket as the weather gets cooler. The fit (medium) is perfect; I'm 5'5", 125 pounds. I usually fold the the collar down, but up is okay too. I ordered it and it arrived the next day! Thanks, Zappos.

Perfect weight for light fleece. I really like the fit as well, not too bulky.

Love this fleece - I have lost weight and wanted to buy a woman's fleece that fit instead of having to buy a man's that never fit right. This fits beautifully - is warm and snuggly and the sleeves are long which I like. I love the zip pockets so phone or wallet don't fall out and the pocket on the sleeve is just right for a key, or a couple of $$ or a credit card and ID if I'm traveling light. I'm 5'7, busty and weigh 180 and this fleece is flattering and fits like a charm. I wear a t-shirt underneath and it's not bulky. Looks good zipped or open!

PERFECT!! Love this jacket

Perfect love it

I love this jacket so much, I just ordered one in black! Nice and warm without being too bulky.
