Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Mighty Lite™ III Jacket

I love this coat. It is so nice. I love the comfort cuffs. The omni heat technology is amazing. I will wear this beautiful white coat until it wears out and I will then buy another!

Love it. Its light weight and I love the way it fit me. I never wear it out doors let due to the fact it just now turning fall season in USA. I bought this coat for the winter.

I have been looking at light-weight jackets like these for a few seasons. I'm so glad I finally purchased it and wished I had done so earlier. SO light and warm, very compact (have worn under softshell to ski). Every member of my family has one now and those days of super-puffy, giant winter coats are gone! The reflective inside of coat really does the trick. I go between XL and 1X for coats and on this one I needed the 1X since it is fitted at the hips.

I bought this coat a month and a half ago for my year in Northern Ireland. I generally wear on the bigger side of 22/24 and I also run warmer than most. This jacket has been great in the weather here. Although there is no hood, I have been kept toasty warm even in the rainy, cold, blowy wind. It has almost been too warm at times. What I love about it is the lack of bulk. I needed to pack very light and this did the trick. Some reviews have complained about the thinness of the outer fabric but I have had very few problems with it. I haven't been exactly careful wearing it and I even bumped into a barbed-wire fence and so far no holes or tears. If I were more rough I'm sure it would tear but it is serving my daily activities and needs. I highly recommend this as a good every day warm jacket.

I bought this jacket to wear for dog walking in Massachussetts winters. It has now become my favourite coat anytime I venture outside. It keeps me warm without overheating me like other winter coats do, it is comfortable as it is so light I bearly notice I'm wearing it. And it is good quality material with sturdy zips . The arms are a good length on me ( i have long arms). The pockets are a good size for putting gloves in. I love it! I chose red so that I can be seen by cars when walking on dark roads.

Bought this jacket for running around in. Needed something that wasn't heavy and not too hot while doing errands. It fit the bill. I normally wear a 1x but decided to go for a 2x so I could wear extra layers if I wanted to. Even with a roomy sweater - you don't feel bulky or look so broad shouldered. Would buy this jacket again. Am very happy with it.

This coat is absolutely AMAZING! It's so comfortable. It's not bulky at all. We have not yet had extremely cold weather, but I've found that it's TOO warm for 30's & 40's. I think this coat will be perfect for our cold winters. I found it to be true to size. I am a size 18 and ordered a 1x and it's a perfect fit. I love that it's not puffy as that does not bode well for my size. This is my favorite purchase of the year... hands down!

Love this jacket I would recommend this but make sure to order up a size as it does run small.

I bought this coat for a trip to Alaska. What I love about this coat is that it is lightweight , but warm. I bought the coat in dark compass and the color is beautiful. I also bought the matching vest.

Looks nice, good weight and keeps you warm.

I ordered the red jacket, and based on other reviews, ordered a 2x, as I usually fit in a 1x. The size is great, maybe slightly big, but kept it because it has room for bulky sweaters. It is generous in the waist area without being too bulky. I live in Wisconsin, and have worn the jacket to go sledding. It is surprisingly warm, despite how thin it is, and it looks so much better than the typical "marshmallow" coat, especially on a larger gal. I would definitely recommend this jacket, I have received many compliments on it. One word of warning - the red is more of a candy apple red versus the red I thought it would be, but otherwise it's great!!

I bought this jacket for a trip to Ireland over New Years. The weather was cool (40-50 F) windy and misty with some rain. We were out and about most of the time walking and the jacket was great. It kept me dry and warm. The thumb holes are wonderful for keeping the wind out and the sleeves down. It is cut a bit small in the arm, so I ordered a 2X as I would normally wear an XL or 1X, and that worked fine. I didn't need any layering as it will keep you warm. I wouldn't wear a sweater under it unless I was out below 30 F or more.

Love this jacket! The red is a beautiful color and fit like a glove right out of the package. I have been playing with my son in 2 degree weather and I have stayed warm and dry! As always, Zappos has fantastic service!

I am so grateful to Columbia and their extended sizes! This jacket is lightweight and doesn't add a lot of bulk. It's nice and warm and I'm looking forward to wearing it to Big Bear. I am 5'6, 215lbs and a 40DDD and the 1X is still rather large on me. My measurements are 46-35-43 and 1x is said to fit up to a 45-38-47. I still have PLENTY of room in the chest and way too much in the waist and hips. But I still love this coat, but I am thinking of taking it in.

She loves it!!!! It is lightweight and she loves it. I am thinking about buying me one in mens. Columbia is the greatest maker of coats and jackets ever!!!!

I will say this jacket runs VERY small. I normall wear an XL Ladies. Luckily I had tried one on in the store and realized I needed a 2X. However I could have probably gotten away with a 1X but when I would reach out the sleaves were a little short especially if I had thumbs in thumb holes & I primarly bought the coat for riding my horse at winter events so I didn't want to feel binded in any way. The coldest it has been since I recieved my coat is 31 but a VERY windy 31.... My job requires me to go outside a good bit and I can say that on that windy 31 degree day that my upper body was toasty but my legs were freezing. So far I LOVE this coat! I wish they would line some jeans with the same liner... I would buy a pair for sure!

I have perhaps a dozen jackets to choose from to handle the wide range of temperatures we have in MN in the Fall. This jacket is the only one I have been wearing since I got it. It is light weight, fits well over my sweaters, blazers, or just my T-neck, and I have yet to be cold in it and it has been down to the low 20's a couple nights already. Ease of movement is a plus, and the sleeves are not too short, which happens often when I order a 1X vs. an 18. great pockets, not too shallow. I get comments about the shiny inside, but then I get to educate others about the omni heat concept.

I love my jacket. It is very warm and I love the color. I do wish you would honor other coupons, I wasn't offered anything off regular price until I signed up for rewards then that was only 15 %. I would have liked to see at least 25% or better, like other competitors offer. Anyway, I love my jacket. Thank you

The Mighty Lite Jacket is very comfortable, extremely light weight, and has a nice fit with becoming lines for a plus size woman. The sleeves are a bit long for me, but I can make that work given the inside elastic cuff design. I was expecting the jacket to be warmer than it is, however. For Minnesota weather it's a great late fall jacket, but I don't think it'll work as a winter outdoor use coat in this climate. I think it'll be perfect during the winter when I'm in and out of the car and shopping. I would recommend it to others who need a jacket for these circumstances. I would purchase it again.

I really like this jacket, but it runs really small compared to other styles that I purchased. It's really warm and what I was looking for, but I could not get the jacket zipped at all. I always purchase a 2X in Columbia jackets so I even tried this one in a 3X and it didn't work out.

The name of this jacket says it all: MIGHTY LITE It's mighty warm and oh so lite on my body. With a cashmere sweater, hat & gloves, I'm warm as can be without all the bulk. It's also easy to clean (so far)...order one size up for a comfortable fit.. I highly recommend.

Very upset I ordered a size and when I got it had to return it and they didn't have the extended sizes in outlet store so online was then sold out..they should not make the jacket so small and not have enough extended sizes not every one that wants a warm jacket is a size 10. Jacket was nice though!

I purchased this jacket after purchasing the womens Mighty Lite Hooded Jacket which I loved. The jacket is great to keep your warm throughout winters frigid temps yet when wearing it indoors for shopping very comfortably and light weight. The jacket I purchased was a size 1x and fits fairly well. Being It had to fit my hips the upper portion of the jacket feels a hair large. I would recommend this jacket to anyone who wants to stay warm but not feel like they are restricted or bound up by layers.

The coat is surprisingly warm. We were going ice fishing so I brought a heavier coat with me because I was unsure the new one would be enough, but it was. I like that it is not bulky. I just wish it was a little longer in length but not a bad problem. Good buy
