Customer Reviews Columbia Mighty Lite™ III Jacket

Great jacket overall. The red hibiscus is slightly lighter than shown online. Will be great when temps get above freezing. Would recommend pairing with a wind breaker over it, as wind rips right through this. The omni heat lining does a great job of keeping you warm, but it takes some time to get body heat generated to get the reflective process in motion.

I first bought a Mighty Lite III three years ago. The sizing was changed, even though the jacket is still named the same. I ordered an XL, like the jacket I already have but it was smaller. So I looked at the Plus sizes and found that Columbia charges $20 more for 1X plus that is actually sized SMALLER than the XL. And the measurements of Plus are not proportional. The product was changed but NOT IMPROVED. Very disappointed.

Overall I would say I love this jacket. The fit was perfect, and the blue color is absolutely beautiful. I have received so many compliments on this jacket. My only complaint about this purchase is that is it not as warm as what I was led to believe. This jacket is fine to wear outside in the winter if you are going from the car to the store and will not be exposed to the elements for a long period of time, however I would not be able to wear this jacket in the wind and snow for very long before I was cold. Overall, a great purchase and I am happy with it, but would not recommend this product for somebody who spends a lot of time outdoors in the cold weather.

Lightweight as promised. Warm for colder weather, not frigid, as promised. But theses are made for women. The sleeves are much too long and the hips/waist are slimmer than desired when ordering the large size. They'll have to do as we can't find 30-40 degree jackets for those intermediate winter days. Columbia used to have them but that was many years ago. We know because we still have them.

Product was nice but took quite a while to get. We purchased this thinking if we had to we could return to a nearby Columbia Outlet. We do have t return the coat and found out the Outlet store is closed and will have to send back and pay postage again.

Looks like it should've been a great jacket. I love the idea of the relatively light weight and the reflective lining, but the fit was off (xs too small, s too big) and I thought the cut was weird. Longer in back is ok but it flared out like a duck's tail, and the collar was stiff and tall. The whole thing just didn't work for me.

This jacket was much thinner than I was expecting. Color was really pretty, but fit a little tight, especially if I had more layers on underneath. I decided it wasn't going to meet my needs, sent it back.

I was so looking forward to receiving my jacket but it has to go back. The jacket is too small in the tummy area. In thinking about going from an XL to a 1X, the sizing is no different according to their chart. I would have to go to a 2X and that is a jump of 5" in the bust. This jacket is probably not meant for a women's body but a younger person. Really disappointed because I liked the light weight. I liked the warmth potential. The construction looks impeccable so do I recommend or not? It depends on your body shape.

I go this Jacket Blue for my wife,i received in proper package but when i opened it,it was like a worn/used one.The Blue color also looks cheap. little dis-coloration. This does not fit properly...so my suggestion is choose other

Warning: If you want a red coat, Ruby Red isn't it. The photo on the website is a little misleading. The shade, in reality, is dark pink. Here's a photo of it next to a red blanket.

Well I tried 2 jackets. They are not made for women with hips. Too narrow around the bottom of the jacket.

I bought this for warmth because it's freezing in Ohio. It was a little long which was alright (I just folded them over) but it wasn't nearly as warm as I would have though/hoped. It's very cute but for $100, it's not worth the money.

I love the color & the lightness of the jacket. I always have problem with the length of the sleeves from all columbia jackets. I am a petite 5'2" & the sleeves are way too long. For this particular jacket, the sleeves look twisted towards your body on both side. They do not fall straight down your arm like other brands. Otherwise, love the color & quality. Also please bring low rise hiking pants with 29"-29&1/2" inseam. It is so hard for short people to find pants that fits.

There needs to be a label on each discription saying what the lowest temperature the jacket is good for. The jacket is thin it doesn't even keep me warm at 35 degrees. You need to update your website to say what kind of weather and temperatures it can withstand.

This jacket is being returned. I did not like the material.

I really do love this jacket, but considering this is my second one (I had a Mighty Lite II that I returned for the same reason) and it is has the same issue I can't rate this well. The microfiber fill constantly leaks at the seams, leaving me looking fuzzy.
