Customer Reviews Columbia Mighty Lite™ Hooded Jacket

I originally ordered a S, but 2 days after ordering upon reading reviews, I ordered the M. I am a size 6 but with the length sitting in the car, the S might have been a problem. Glad I did and as I compared both sizes when they came in, 1 size bigger was a better idea. I have gotten TONS of compliments on Deep Rust plus ordered gloves and hat to match at same time! Perfect!

I purchased this jacket in a Small, Deep Rust color. I like the color and how lightweight it is. The Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining does work and keeps me warm. However, this does fit slightly tight. If you plan on layering underneath, I recommend sizing up. I also would have liked the pockets to be deeper. You can also wear this underneath a coat for extra warmth without getting too bulky. Overall, I like the jacket.

I was so excited to get my new jacket and when I tried it on it was so tight i could barely zip it over my hips. I'm 5'3" and 140 lbs and I ordered a medium. Will definitely need a large, I rarely wear a large especially in a winter jacket. Unfortunately they are out of larges. Will return. The zipper didn't move very well and I struggled to start the zipper going up. I could deal with it though in exchange for a warm coat. My friend has this same style of coat and she loves it. Very lightweight and warm.

I was looking for a warm, yet lightweight and packable jacket to wear and take travelling with me and I have found it. This jacket provides a surprising amount of warmth for its weight and "thinness". You can also easily layer it with a vest or fleece underneath, as well as a shirt, to provide extra warmth, which is necessary in the current arctic conditions! I like the thumbholes, hood and the zip pockets are well located on the jacket I purchased the Rust colour, which is beautiful. Goes with everything. I purchased a size Sml, and am 5"7, 130lb and it fits perfectly (and I can still wear a fleece underneath). Would definitely recommend this product.

I love the omni-heat feature, I'm never sticky or Sweaty! I initially bought a size smaller where it fit, but was too tight in the hips. Now that I went up a size it fits great, but too lose in the hips, I feel like I need an in-between size. The seamless hand/thumb wrap is a great feature where no air seeps into the coat.

I just recently purchased the women's mighty lite hooded jacket in the deep rust color. I'm happy to say that this jacket keeps me warm and is just perfect for this Chicago weather! It fits true to size and the color just makes it looks so much better! I'm sure you'll love it too!

I hate a bulky jackets so I was looking for something thin but warm and this jacket is exactly that, actually thinner material than I thought it would be but keeps the warmth in. The only problem I've had is that if you have a sweater or layers underneath it's a little hard to zip, so you might want to order a size up from your regular size otherwise great coat.

I ordered this jacket in red. I loved the deep red. It keeps me warm during the winter, however, I do have to add some layers underneath.

This coat is not only handsome--it is warm! Finally, a robe that I can acceptably wear outdoors! The silver dot warmth technology is fabulous & I love that it is water resistant. I am still up in the air about: the hood, which is great with a ski hat underneath, but exposes about 3 inches of my head from my forehead; the placement of the pockets--they are in the front instead of the side...that being said the inside chest pocket is my favorite pocket of all. Lastly, I can't to the splits so I am not concerned, but I would be unable to perform them if I could because of the length.

Keeps me warm and has great pocket space (two on the outside, one on the inside). I bought a small, which is what I usually wear. When zipping up the jacket, it was a little snug in the hip area but not so tight that it makes me feel uncomfortable so keep that in mind when choosing what size you want. I will say despite the tightness in the hip area, the way the jacket is shaped gives you a flattering figure, instead of making you look boxy. Great purchase!

Jacket is lightweight and great shape to body but had to return due to color that was not expected.

Great jacket! Completely functional in the rain & cold. My hips are pretty wide-I was surprised that the coats fits so flatteringly. The perfect lightweight material for a bus commute. So far this coat is a really nice addition to my wardrobe.

I live in Chicago and this winter is pretty cold. We haven't gotten to the negatives yet, but so far the coat has been able to keep me warm IF I wear a thick scarf and have a sweater or two on. (which is pretty good still). It's very light weight and is quite comfortable. Two things I would like to be better constructed: 1. the pockets are two low. I have keep my arms all the way down and I still can barely reach the pockets. 2. there are no strings on the hood to keep it tight so sometimes cold air gets through. I've gotten around this with a scarf or hat, but it's not ideal

This is a gorgeous coat, it feels light weight, and is made very well. Unfortunately it runs small. Not to mention that it does not come in a petite size, so a regular size was fitting in places that a taller woman would benefit from, but a petite woman would not.

As others have mentioned, this is not for Very cold weather. I tried it at 13 degrees with a long sleeve shirt under it and I was COLD. Either wear it only at 35degree+ weather or plan on layering it with cold weather clothing underneath

I wanted a long, but not bulky coat for winter. This is exactly what I was looking for. Not too thick, but very warm. I ordered a size M which is what I usually wear, and it's perfect. I would recommend this coat to all!

Lightweight, comfortable.Nice length. Just right for my needs.

I love how thin, but warm this coat is! Especially in winter, when we are already wearing so many layers, its nice to not feel like the Michelin tire man. I wear a medium/large, usually take a medium. I went to a large because, considering I will likely be wearing sweaters.

This jacket fits my wife just right, it is lightweight, yet very warm. it shapes very nicely as well.

This coat is very lightweight and fits well but it is not warm enough for what I wanted. It is not very warm under about 35 degrees.

I ordered the jacket in black size medium 8-10. I would recommend trying this jacket on before buying if possible. The jacket was closer to an 8 than a 10. If you have a curvier body type, consider going up a size or two. I am short (5'0) the length was not even at my knee. I feel comfortable in going up a size or two and the jacket not being too long. Overall, I liked the jacket and the omni heat feature. It was light and seemed warm when I tired it on. I plan to reorder a bigger size keeping my hips in mind!

The jacket is warm as promised (I just wish the material was a little bit thicker), but has a good lenght, and it's very light, so it's easy to carry around. I'd recommend this product.

I bought my jacket and it was exactly what I ordered. The Omni-heat inside of the jacket does keep it a little more warmer than normal jackets. It is even cozier with a thick layer underneath the Omni-heat and helps to trap heat in. I really love this jacket as it fits with ever outfit and works well in rain.

This jacket is very lightweight, however is incredibly effective at keeping your body at a comfortable temperature.

If you are looking for something super fashionable, this is not it. This is a coat for the people who live in the brutal winters, who just need a coat that's functional. Don't get me wrong the coat looks good on, but it's something I would wear to a fancy banquet or dinner party. The true purpose of it is to get you through your city winter walks.
