Customer Reviews Columbia Mighty Lite™ III Jacket

I absolutely love this jacket! It is perfect for winters in the south! It's very stylist and goes with all of my wardrobe.

I love how lightweight this jacket is and it is perfect for mild winter weather and fall watcher. It keeps me warm in temperatures as low as 45°.

LOVE this jacket, it is very warm, lightweight and extremely comfortable. I get compliments every time I wear it. Love the glove sleeves, what a simple, great idea.

I bought this jacket last year and loved it so much I bought another this year for my daughter who is constantly asking to borrow mine. It is very light, yet quite warm. It is very comfortable. 5 stars for sure!

I bought this jacket for my college daughters last year. They loved the lightweight feeling while they remained warm. I bought one for myself this year. I have loved how it doesn't weigh me down but continues to keep me warm in this constantly changing Iowa weather.

Love this jacket! I needed a lightweight jacket for the mild winter days and nights we have here in Texas, loved it so much I got black and the white (at Cabelas).

I just received this item in the mail and I love it...even though its a little big I'm going to keep it once again thank you Zappos.com love you guys!

This jacket is amazing. For how light it is, it is the warmest coat that I have. I love it! I am actually buying a second one!

Ran small. Had to go up 1 size.

Lovely jacket , but.... as a 60 year old , I’m thick around my waist and it was way too tight, so had to return. It was surprisingly me because i currently wear other brands of outerwear in an XL and they fit perfectly. Also note the color is quite a bit darker than photo- these are points that i thought useful to others shoppers .

The jacket is good but the insulation is not to good in a temperature low to 5 degree, the construction is very good.

The jacket runs small and the arms are too lose at the end. I returned the jacket for a different one.

The jacket is very warm and lightweight. However, I feel like it was a bit tight after being zipped up and the sleeves were too long.

Purchased to replace an older, much heavier parka. So far, this jacket has kept me warm at about 1/4 the weight. I did have to exchange for a larger size as it seems to run a little small.

Jacket does exactly what it is suppose to do! Keeps you warm in very cold to cold weather while being light as a feather! My fiancee' absoloutley loves it.

I love this jacket. I inherited an old one years ago that was a size too small and finally upgraded to the correct size. I chose dark raspberry and the color is gorgeous. I wear the jacket all the time. The only issue I have is that the fabric shows oil very dramatically, even just natural skin oils. The inside neck of the jacket has become significantly darker in the past couple weeks or regular wear. It's not enough of a bother to return (or to start wearing exclusively turtlenecks) but it's a bit awkward. This may be a feature of the raspberry color specifically, I couldn't say. Otherwise, 10/10

Fits with maybe a tshirt, not much more under.

Jacket style and fit is spot on

i really like this jacket but I would love some vents for the arm pits, doesn't breath so tends to get hot and wet fast

The Mighty Lite III performs better than I expected! I love the comfort cuffs - they prevent heat from escaping and cold from getting in and extend a bit past the wrist and provide a super thin overlap under gloves. The extra high collar stays up to protect your neck, but is easily tucked under if you need a little breeze. I read comments prior to purchase and did buy a Large instead of Medium. This did give me enough extra room for layering. It does have adequate extra length so that if you bend over it does not ride up and expose you. If I had purchased a smaller size, I don't think it would have fit over the hips w/o riding up. I was initially going to say I wish it had inner pockets, and then I found the inner security one! If I had to change anything, it would be to add a inner security pocket on the other side (a balance thing for me), make the bottom larger with a stretchy drawstring, and add a hood. On the hood issue, I wish designers would add an under cuff zipper on the neck piece and a hood zip in option. I purchased this for a mountaineering course and hoods large enough to accommodate a climbing helmet are recommended. I like this jacket enough to not return it, but I will forego another purchase of a hooded jacket and just purchase a less expensive balaclava. I love the Deep Marine color! I will re address this review at a later date if it fails to hold up to claims of being rain and stain resistant, but after a couple of weeks in my crazy life, it still looks great!

I don't know why some of the other people are saying it runs small. I would say it's true to size or perhaps a bit big... I ordered a size small, and for reference I'm about 5'4", weigh roughly 118 and am a 32B in the bust. The overall fit is fairly loose, but the sleeves are quite long and the fit of the sleeves is too loose for my liking. Debating returning it for an x-small.

I really like this jacket but the sleeves are really long and I don't have short arms. :-) The purple dahlia color is really pretty and the jacket is nicely fitted.

I have the Omni heat vest and the hooded longer jacket in black. I wanted a shorter jacket with no hood so I purchased the Mighty Lite III jacket in the Purple Dahlia. I really like the jacket. It is light weight and keeps me warm. I love the Omni Heat technology since I do not like down. I purchased a size large (I am 5'2" and big busted) and it fits well except the sleeves are long (I just roll them). I wish I purchased it in black but my kids and husband like the color. The color is matte and looks like it appears on Zappos. The shipping was quick, and I am happy with my purchase.

I ordered this jacket in Camelia Red, but be warned, it is definitely more pink! It's a shame because I love the jacket, but am really not all about pink. Will be returning and re ordering in a different color.

I was looking for a jacket that would be waterproof yet breathable and warm and this seems to fit the bill. I haven't used it in the rain yet, but I have used it in cold weather (< 40) and it kept me nice and toasty. The thumbholes in the sleeves is a nice touch. Based on the other reviews I got a Large even though I'm normally a medium. The arms are just the right size with the Large, but the rest of the jacket is a little big and boxy. It's not a very flattering fit, but since I wanted to layer this over other winter clothes (sweaters, hoodies, etc), the extra room is acceptable. Just wish it was a little more shapely/tapered in the waist. It packs down pretty small which is a plus for traveling. I'm happy with my purchase.
