Customer Reviews Columbia Mighty Lite™ Hooded Jacket

I'm 5'4" and 115 pounds. I really wanted a really warm coat that didn't make me look like the Michelin Woman. I can wear a wool sweater under the size small and not have it be too tight. I love that the coat comes to my knees and unzips from the bottom as well as the top. When the coat zips all the way up, Columbia put a beautifully soft piece of fabric on the top of the zipper, so the zipper doesn't scratch my chin or neck. Both pockets zip and are plenty deep for my iPhone 5, keys and a pair of glasses.....which is all I need when I'm wearing the coat at night walking my dogs. The coat is fitted at the waist, so it's figure flattering and keeps me so warm. I highly recommend this coat to anyone looking for a warm feminine functional winter coat. I'm thinking of buying another one....Plus, I like that it's not down and it weights next to nothing! LOVE IT!

My Mother purchased this coat first. Then she had me try it on. I loved it. So lightweight, yet keeps you warm. It's an ideal length and the cuff with thumb holes are a nice touch. Would highly recommend this jacket.

So I bought one of these Omni tech jackets, totally different style, for my boyfriend for Christmas last year and he absooultly loves it. He says it's the warmest thing, almost a year later I went online to look at some for me. Before I make anything final I read the reviews. Well the next week I saw this jacket on someone in the parking lot. I told her I love her jacket and I am thinking about getting one my self and she let me try it on, it was a medium, and a little roomy. After that I went online and purchased a Small I'm 5'3" and 120+/- lbs. and it fits great. The jacket itself is very thin but warm. I went with Abyss.

I go outside for recess with my students in the cold Wisconsin winters and so far, it's doing a great job of keeping me warm!

I noticed my friend wearing this jacket last year and searched all year long for it and could not find it! When I saw it this year I bought it straight away- I'm 5ft3' and 135lbs- I bought the meduim but as I am a pear shape it was big on top- I changed it for a small (my usual size) and could not be more pleased with it. It is light weight and super warm.. I will wear this jacket all winter long so happy I bought it..

This jacket fits true to size. Perfect length wth an hourglass fit. Warmth of a down jacket but without the bulkiness. It can be casual or dressy. Love it. Thinking I should buy another color in case they stop making it. It is they only jacket I wear now.

I really love this coat. It is lightweight but so very warm. Easy to pack. I'd recommend this to anyone. I did read one review saying it ran a wee bit small, so I ordered an XL. I wear a size 12-14 and was glad I went with a size larger than I normally would have purchased, fits great. Love the color too. You can't really see the true color on the website it is a rich, shiny eggplant color.

this jacket was ordered as a gift for my daughter. Makes the third one in the family to own one of the mighty lites

I love this coat. The amazing lining makes it so warm and toasty, but still light as can be. Folds up, too, when sitting in a tight spot like in a restaurant or a theater. Wish it came calf length!

I was shocked at how light this jacket is, and yet so incredibly warm! Great length and fits well. I've been looking for a winter jacket that will double as a windbreaker, looks like I've found it!

I'm a Willamette Valley Oregon, walker. In our light drizzle I haven't had an issue with this coat even though it's not a rain coat, per se. What I absolutely love about it is that I bought it in white for safety reasons - gray, short days doing road walking is not conducive to black or gray coats. I've been stopped by several walkers telling me that they love the idea of a white, eg visible, walking coat. The duel zipper is great for heat control. The weight is ideal. I sized up from my normal small. Now if only it were truly water proof...

This is, hands down, the best coat I've ever owned! I can't stop raving about it to people. I've become a walking commercial. I love the color (Quill). I love the fit. I love the thumb holes. I love that it's lightweight and slim, so I don't feel gigantic when I'm commuting to work, but that the warmth doesn't suffer for that at all. I live in Massachusetts, and I spend a lot of time waiting at bus stops in the winter, but I feel very well prepared for that this year!

I haven't bought a good winter coat in a few years because of price. This was significantly less expensive than similar ones from other retailers, and I trusted the brand so I went for it. It's so warm and not bulky. I can't believe how thin it feels but how warm it is because of the omni-heat reflective. I highly recommend this jacket to anyone. I'm so happy with my purchase. I had read the reviews that it fits a little small, so I got a large. I normally wear a large but can wear a medium so I thought the large would be good so it wouldn't be snug. It's perfect.

This jacket is amazing! It is very light weight and keeps you very warm in the coldest conditions. I live in New England and it is perfect during the winter weather, which is very crazy! I absolutely love the attached cloth thumb holes that help keep my hands warm and prevent a draft from going up my sleeves! I recommend this jacket with the highest regard! It is perfect!

I purchased this jacket because I had heard the ads on the radio. I was skeptical that it would keep me warm plus be so light. The first time I wore the jacket was at a flag football game with winds and temperature in the 40s. I was warm and toasty from my head to legs. I am no longer skeptical but a believer. This is now my favorite jacket and I recommend it to everyone.

Very good fit. Very warm and does keep the wind out. I would purchase this coat again with no problem.

I am so in love with this jacket! I really cannot believe how warm it is, even without the bulk or weight! I purchased this jacket from the new outlet location, and I was complemented by three other shoppers just when I was trying it on. The length gives it a more classy/professional look, yet it will be great when the winter weather gets nasty. I did notice that it does run a little snug. I am a little hippy, so I did have to go up a size for that and so I would be able to wear it when I will be layering more clothes. I think the feature that I do like the most are the thumb holes so even my wrists will be covered (I have longer arms, so I have had issues with that in the past). Thanks!

I absolutely love this coat! I ordered it in black and it looks great with everything. I am 5'5" and wear a 12-14. I ordered the XL and it fits perfectly. The cut is very flattering. It's also super warm. The hood is a tad bit big, it tends to blow off when it's windy, so it would be nice if they added a way to tighten it a bit, but other than that this is my new favorite coat!

I have purchased two of these wonderful coats! Here is the story..... I bought mine a year ago. Everyone would ask if it kept me warm, the Omni-Heat system is the best invention since slice bread! You don't have to layer your clothing in order to stay warm. Which is great when you are out at the barn riding a horse. Sorry back to the story.... The second coat was purchased after my oldest daughter "borrowed" it one day. I wouldn't have gotten it back if I didn't check her bags before she left for college....She is now off at college and asked for a jacket to keep her warm after numerous searches in stores around Milwaukee nothing beats the Mighty Lite :)

My coworker came in one day with this on boasting about how she got a great price at our military base exchange. She allowed me to try it on and it was love at first try! I immediately called to ask if they could hold one for me until I got out of work! I am curvy- 5'6, 125lbs and the medium fit perfectly with a sweater. We got our first dusting of snow in NC today and I was super warm during my mile long walk to work! :) I love how you could seriously pack this jacket into a carry-on and it's super light and feels thin, but sorta fluffs out when you give it a good shake, but isn't like the Michelin old school feather puffy jackets. I also like the feminine-ness of this as it is somewhat tapered at the waist. My only regret is that I didn't get multiple in different colors. Hindsight...

One of my all time favorite winter coats - and living in MI you need something to keep you warm in the winter months. Have actually been able to test it out with wind and snow already this season & it does a great job keeping me warm. Love how the hood even fits around your face to help keep my face warm. It is worth the money & I would recommend to those who like to stay warm!

I have fallen in love with a coat, and it has kept me warm since buying it. I tend to get cold easily and not matter how well bundled up I would be I would still feel the cold air. With this coat I am completely warm, I am able to wear a thick sweater, a light sweater, or not sweater at all and still feel the warmth. I would recommend this coat to anyone who wants to keep warm throughout the winter. I bought this coat in a Medium and it fits true to size.

Great jacket! All the warmth I need without the bulkiness. Feather light to tote around. Extremely flattering fit. Liked it so much I bought another one in another color.

Going to rainy, but beautiful Dublin soon and wanted a warm, weatherproof longer jacket, this certainly will fit the bill. Love, love the fact it is so "lite".

I love the OMNI-HEAT jacket. This is my second one and it is the most awesome warm jacket I have ever owned. It is so light and comfortable and easy to move in.
