Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Mighty Lite™ Hooded Jacket

All I can say is Colombia Mighty Lite where have you been all my life! Stylish and comfortable, love the extended sleeves with thumb holes. Pockets are very handy for holding my keys. I am very very happy with the my new jacket. Warm and toasty in 7*F (-13.89C) Michigan weather. While wearing 1 cotton tee w/ 1 wool blend shirt. I am thinking of getting the jacket in another color;)

This has become my favorite jacket after only a week wearing it. I loved the Omni-heat liner of my Columbia 3-in-1, but it didn't have a hood, was not water-resistant, and a little too short to cover a tunic top or sweater. When I saw the Mighty Lite was on sale, I jumped at it and hoped it would hit the sweet spot. Well, I can safely say that it does. Fits well, with a great tunic length and slight hourglass shape. I'm 5'3" and a size 18/20, but I like to size up for Columbia jackets to give room for layers - so I'd recommend that for the best fit. The zipper is a bit stiff at first, but after a week it is working much better, and the 2-way zip is helpful when sitting. The Omni-heat lining is excellent - it's the dead of winter in Vermont and I've been completely comfortable with just a base layer and a lightweight sweater underneath on everything from 5F windy days to 30 snowy days so far. It is quite water resistant, as I stayed perfectly dry on that snowy day, but I'm not sure how dry I'd stay on a rainy day yet. Time will tell... I bought the Nocturnal navy color, and though I thought I might exchange it for the Black before it arrived, I'm really pleased with the color. It's quite pretty without being too bold, and goes with everything. It is very lightweight - light enough to wear in the car without extra bulk, and I think it will pack well for travel. My only complaint is that you can't cinch the hood, so it blows off if it's windy and you're not wearing a beanie underneath. Still, I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great everyday winter coat that's not too bulky!

This coat is absolutely amazing. It fits true to size and I love that it has the zipper at the bottom that pulls up. I can finally sit in the car without my coat being too tight on my hips or being bulky around my neck. It's very light weight but super warm.

I love love love this jacket!! I used to rarely wear a coat because they were always too bulky or heavy. But this... I wear it every chance I can! I stay nice and warm in the cold WNY winter while being comfortable. Works great while shoveling snow and sitting at my daughters indoor softball games.

Love!love! love! my jacket!! Fits like a glove -actually third one I own in longer length & also have three shorter jackets! I am always cold and they keep me toasty and wear so well they are the only jacket I own. I'm a lifetime- won't own anything else- Columbia gal!

Jacket was delivered right on schedule. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me, I had to return it. My compliment to your outlet store in my city. Customer service was exceptional, made the online purchase return very smooth. Coat was a bit tight across my shoulders, only reason for return.

This jack is perfect all year round very light love it bought black and blue

Love this warm and lite weight coat. I now have three of them in different colors purple, navy, and this one in red. I especially love the purple color. I get lots of compliments for all three colors.

My sister had this jacket and I liked hers so much that I now have my own. We are moving to Idaho this year so I will need something warmer for the fall and winter there. This is perfect. It is quilted but it doesn't make you looked puffy. The fabric is soft and has a rich appearance. It feels lightweight when you have it on. The warmth is from the Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining which insulates and keeps you warm. Another feature I appreciate is the 2 way zipper so when you sit you can unzip from the bottom part-way up so it is more comfortable. I am always looking for tops and jackets with thumb holes which this jacket has. I bought the Navy color. I have to say everything about this purchase is perfect. I am beyond pleased.

I love my omniheat jacket . It is lightweight and driving is a breeze in this jacket. Its so flattering and the warmest jacket without the bulk. I wish i bought it sooner.

I love my Mighty Light jacket! It's the perfect amount of bulk, excellent warmth (I live in MN), and true to size. I also really like the thumb-hole cuffs - they keep cold air from sneaking up my sleeves! I'm so happy with this purchase!

I absolutely fell in love with this jacket. It is lightweight, but keeps me warm in the Northern Michigan cold. Liked it so much that I actually bought the same exact jacket so I would have it when this one wears out.

Very warm, zipper is a little temperamental, wish hood had a draw string.

Light in weight, but hefty in warmth! It is the perfect coat for cold or cool weather. Repels rain, too! I would rate it a 20 degree F to 60 degree F coat. Worth every penny I paid! Only wish the hod had a drawstring, but otherwise perfect!

Love this jacket. Super lightweight, no bulk, but extremely warm. I ordered it in the Dark Seas color, beautiful!

This was # 7 out of 9 coats I ordered in the search for one that fits! I needed something with longer arms and generous through the hips and this was perfect. It has the double zipper I was looking for so I don't have to unzip when I get in the car. And the best part, it's not bulky at all, but it keeps me warm! Thanks!

I received this coat for Christmas and have been loving it! It keeps me warm, but isn't gigantic and uncomfortable. Would definitely recommend.

This jacket is just what I was hoping for: featherweight, very warm, comfortable. This jacket does all of those things and more! The jacket hood actually fits! I didn't need to make any adjustments to the jacket hood to allow me to see.

i got this coat to travel with but it is becoming my favorite everyday coat so long as the winter continues! It is very lightweight. I love the sleeve guards though the they are little short.... the thumb holes really stretch when I reach for something. Overall, the jacket runs a little small...

I was always hesitant to even try on this style of jacket but took a chance and couldn't be happier. It is surprisingly flattering but most importantly, is comfortable, packs well, and keeps you extremely warm. This is great for everyday or for travel given that it is so lightweight, but at the same time, it is GREAT for keeping you warm in even the coldest of locations. I have received several compliments on both the color and style, a truly perfect purchase! I bought it a size larger than I would ordinarily wear to accomodate sweaters underneath....

Runs a little small because of style. I had to return but they didn't have next size. BUMMER. I LOVED.

I'm loving my new jacket and don't mind how cold it is outside. It's so lightweight that I barely feel like I have it on. I like all the featurestwo-way zipper, the warm cuffs, thumb holes, big pockets. I ordered it larger than what I usually wear and find that I can sit comfortably with it fully zipped and can wear a sweater underneath without feeling like a snowman. The only thing I miss is the ability to secure the hood and wish there were a drawstring to pull it tight.

This is not a bulky jacket yet still very warm.

I have to say, I don't typically write reviews. This winter coat is perfect for me. I live in Portland, Oregon and the winters aren't freezing but they're cold. This jacket is warm enough for me to wear without feeling bulky. It moves easily with my body all areas of my body are free to take long walks or go on a hike without feeling restricted or over heated. This jacket is great with jeans or skirts because it's longer. I highly recommend this jacket. I've already been complemented while wearing the jacket, and would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a great winter jacket that's not heavy.

This coat is perfect for the Pacific NW winter weather, lightweight and "just right" warmth for running around in the drizzly NW. I usually get too warm driving in a coat and then in and out while shopping or just running errands. Not with the Mighty Lite, it's exactly what I was looking for, cozy warm but not stifling hot and so lightweight. It's the perfect length too, covers your rear and it's not just a shapeless bag like some plus sized coats. I'm very happy with this coat
