Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Mighty Lite™ Hooded Jacket

I ordered this in a 2x based on the reviews which said it ran small, it was to big. I normally wear a 1x so I say it runs true to size. I have only worn it for 2 days and they were both in the 30's it did seem to keep me warm and toasty. I always look for a thin but warm coat since the Chicago winters are cold and hopefully this will fit the bill.

This jacket is so very light weight. It is like a miracle space suit! It is SO warm. I put it to the true test looking at property in Northern Minnesota when the wind chills were -30. I was not cold at all with NO layering under the jacket. I wore it shopping in Minneapolis which was a bad move because I got very over heated in the stores. I love the look of this jacket and it is super warm.

I'm a bigger girl and I love that I could actually find a longer coat to fit me. It's light weight but does a great job of keeping me warm. I'm located in Michigan so it's functions well in our up and down temperatures of winter this far. I'm happy with the product over all, however the built in hand cuffs with the thumb holes I wish were removable. They're thin enough fabric that I push them back into my sleeves and wear my own gloves. Great coat and love the two way zipper!

i'm 5'3" 200 lbs all belly. Some of the other long coats made me even more round... this was a perfect 2X for me. It has plenty of room for an extra sweater, but i'm fine without one. It's not the warmest coat for our cold Chicago Winters but for me it's perfect since I already own Columbia's short puffer coat which is easier to drive!!

Everything about this jacket is perfect. The description is exactly what it is so there were no surprises when I received it.its functional comfortable and even fashionable as I wear it with career clothes as well as casual jeans and boots. I love the quill color and the length is perfect. With the omni heat lining it is amazingly warm without the bulk and I absolutely love that feature.

I was not sure this coat would be warm enough for a Minnesota winter, but since it came early I found out! Love this coat. The length was what hooked me but I find it plenty warm too. I agree with another review that it helps to wear the coat a couple minutes before you go out. I am getting compliments on the fit too!

I'm so happy that I found the coat that I like it so warm and comfortable I'll be ordering some more stuff soon

I was stressed this jacket wouldn't fit after reading reviews,but I found it was true to size. I could even fit layers under it. This jacket is so warm, and it's not super bulky and heavy. I am obsessed with it and can't wait to wear it more. Thanks so much for making a quality plus size jacket!

I love this long jacket. It is the lightest and warmest jacket I have ever owned. The thumb holes are very handy and keep the sleeves down so well, I hardly need to wear gloves. I purchased this jacket in the "dark purple" color and find it is very flattering.

I have had this jacket for about two weeks now and I LOVE IT!! It is so comfy that I find myself wearing it all the time. Not bulky at all but still very warm. I really like this jacket because when I wear it, I don't get overly warm in it. It helps just regulate my normal body temp. I also really like thumb holes in the cuffs. Overall a great buy!!!!

Omni -Heat thermal reflective lining and insulation is everything they proclaim. Watching a soccer game on top of a hill in 30 degree temperature with whipping winds was the test to prove how very good their product is. I am enjoying the jacket.

Wore this for the first time today(sub-freezing & windy this morning) and it was great! Love the warmth without bulk or weight.... Omni-Heat is the BEST! It does seem to run small and the style is 'fitted'; I returned my first purchase and re-ordered 1 size larger and the fit is comfortable and roomy enough for a sweater. I'll probably order the short jacket and vest soon.

It feels a little small but that could be because it's a form fitting coat and I'm used to looser coats. I love the feel of the coat it is so soft and light! Have had many complements on the look. Very fast shipping.

I ordered this jacket in navy blue (abyss) and love it! It is very lightweight and the fit is very flattering. It is a rather fitted style so if you wear bulky or thick sweaters you should probably order a size up. I wear very thin sweaters and shirts so I stuck with my size. I cannot believe how warm it is considering how light and thin it seems. Great jacket!

I had the shorter version but it was stolen...and thank goodness, I love this longer length and fit so much more!!!

I never write reviews but this coat is fabulous, it was my goto coat last winter. Looks great with leggings and boots.

My oldest daughter started Kindergarten this year and as the cold weather/wind moved in I discovered that my wool peacoat, while nice and cute, was not going to suffice while I stood at the bus stop each morning/afternoon. So I set out to find the perfect coat. I initially decided I wanted a 3-in-1 type coat but after trying one on in store and discovering how bulky it was I quickly changed my mind. So I came home and started looking online and until I came across this one, I didn't think my "perfect coat" existed. I wanted something lightweight but would also keep me dry and very warm - I found it in this coat! I wasn't home when it arrived and my husband said he had to open it because he didn't believe a coat was inside. He also didn't believe that something so lightweight and thin would be very warm so he tested it out...he said he now hates his 3-in-1 and wants to purchase a male version of this coat.

Gearing up for cold temps at my bus stop and Metrorail. The design is innovative as Omni-tech that I can anticipate to stay toasty and dry.

This jacket is the very best !! I ordered the 3x in Quill and it is delightful and met my every expectation. The quality is exceptional. It is soft when you put it on, there is no "crackly" feel or sound to the polyester, it is like the down filled jackets. Very lightweight. The package was so light I didn't think a jacket was in there. It feels just as light when you wear it. The purple is a deep rich dark purple, not cheap looking or too bright. It is a perfect 3x, runs true to size. Sleeves fit well. The zipper works from the top and the bottom. The hood is ok, I wish it laid down a little flatter, but I think it will with time. Nice secret inside pocket on the left big enough for cell phone or keys. Fleece lined hand pockets also. It is so lightweight that it does not restrict your arms when driving or loading groceries in the car. Very flexible and soft. You can feel the Omni Heat working. I love it. If you are trying to decide, should I buy it or not, the answer is YES, you should get it !! You will love it. I am excited about winter now !!

I love this coat. The light weight but abundance of warmth makes it perfect. I love the fit up top but could use a little extra give ik n the hip area. But overall I would and have recommended this coat to some of my friends who have seen me wearing it and really like it.

This coat was super sliming and wasn't so heavy. It did fit a bit sung across my chest so i did re turn it for a bigger size . I would say living in South Dakota this coat would be good for late fall early winter temperatures!

I love this mid length jacket. It is very thin so I was concerned about the warmth but for the most part, it is warm enough for running around doing errands, in an out of the car, shopping.

Coat is light and warm, but runs small. Returning for next size. I'm a plus size girl and I'm a size 18/20 I ordered a 2X and it wouldn't even close. Hoping the 3X will fit because I really like it.

Had to send my jacket back to small but I loved it , will be ordering a larger size

This coat is lightweight but still warm and functional. I also love the length, I'm 6'2" and it hits me mid thigh. I'm very happy with this purchase.
