Customer Reviews Columbia Phurtec™ II Softshell

I love the soft shell fabric on this jacket. Definitely would recommend.

I loved this jacket and ordered up a size to a medium from my normal small from Columbia. It still was small and they had no large jackets left so I ordered an XL so crossing my fingers it will fit just a little big.

Fit: If you like your jackets very close/slim fitting, then this is true to size. The large fits as it's probably supposed to, but I like a roomier fit and sized up to an XL, and it's perfect. I am 5/3" and 150 lbs. The sleeves are still a little slimmer than I'd like, but I'm able to wear a chunky sweater underneath comfortably; and the jacket isn't bulky. Construction: fleece lining throughout, EVEN DOWN THE SLEEVES! which I LOVELOVELOVE! Zip up, jacket, pockets zip closed, hood with vent on back. Function: It truly blocks the wind as advertised; during our recent "polar vortex," I wore it over a sweater and was in and out of the weather all day, I was toasty warm, yet wasn't hot when inside a building for about an hour with it on. I have only had it for about 2 weeks; but I am certain it will continue to be favorite jacket for a few years. Can't beat Columbia quality; and I got it for a great price too.

I'm normally a Large in Columbia jackets but I ordered an XL and it is a little snug, but still fits fine. Its very warm, and the plush inside is so soft and cozy.

I love this jacket! It is lightweight but very warm. The plush fleece throughout the inside is amazing and the outer shell is flexible for maintaining free movement and flexibility.

I love this softshell jacket! It's very comfortable and warm. And I'm in love with the Nori color! The fleece lining is cozy, and it really keeps out the wind. But definitely order a size up, I am almost always a size Medium in Columbia items and I had to get a Large in this.

Ordered this jacket for spring/fall wear in Wisconsin. Exterior of jacket blocks the wind and the plush lining makes it cozy inside. Runs a little small. Usually wear a small but returned for a medium in order to be able to layer. Great quality for the price..

I had recently been looking for a nice and cozy winter jacket to get me through the winter here in Washington, when I came across this awesome jacket. The soft and fuzzy interior keeps you real warm and toasty while the windproof and rainproof aspects of the coat keep you protected from the elements. Through the harsh winds and downpour of the winter time, I have been satisfied with how warm and dry I am after any encounter with crazy weather. I have always been one to layer my outfits (wear a sweatshirt under a raincoat) and this softshell is perfect for any others that like to layer too! This jacket has surpassed my expectations, leaving me to want a thousand of them. I highly recommend this for anyone that is looking for a quality winter coat.

Bought this jacket a few years and have always loved it. Wanted another one. It has changed a little since the one from a few years ago. Seems to fit a little smaller than the other one. But still great jacket. Very warm, but not bulky. Great for trips where walking a lot. Wind and rain resistant. My old jacket has held up very well. It's about the only jacket I wear in the winter. Quality seems to be just as good in the new one so hoping it will last just as long. I'm 5"4 and 115 pounds, XS is a little snug with a heavy sweater but fits great with a t-shirt.

I bought this jacket and have had it for about a week and i love it!!! I got the green color and honestly don't know why more people don't love this color!! I love this color and have already got tons of compliments on it! It is super warm, i' never cold when I am wearing it!! The only this is I ordered a large because all these reviews said size up which I am glad I did at first thought should have got an XL but after wearing it for almost a week I found I just can't wear two layers under neath my jacket! Due to the elbow area being tight and arms if bend a certain way but i found it has gotten better the more I wear it! I am 135 pounds and 5'8 and the arms are great on it which i find can be a problem for taller people like myself! I would definitely recommend this jacket but if going to wear two or more layers with this jacket go two sizes up I would feel but if only one or two light layers yoyou should be good just one size up!! I was honestly fine in a long sleeve shirt and this jacket in 30 degrees even colder!

it blocks the winds as it says, keeps you warm, and nice, girly to wear..

This Jacket works well for my wife in low 50s (and can work in even lower temps for others). The softshell outer layer combined with the fur like lining inside makes this a warm and cozy jacket for spring/fall and other cool days. Works well as a windblocker. One interesting feature of this jacket is the adjustable hood size. I am NOT referring to the hood opening which all jackets have; but the overall hood face which you can adjust using a velcro strap on the back of the hood. This prevents the hood from falling in front of you face if its bigger. Secondly, the open face of the hood you can adjust using the drawstrings on the side. All this good features = a warm and happy wife :) Add to this the amazing Customer support of Columbia. 5 Stars

The jacket is very warm and comfortable. I wear a large in jackets but this one ran a little small.

I got this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. It does run a little small but she says she doesn't need thick layers with this jacket.

I bought this for my daughter whois a small and I bought the 95 or medium...fit her beautifully. I was so Impressed with this jacket. I looked too see if theymade it for men. They do not. Fit and feel and function is great. High quality zipper, ample pockets, 2 inside, softshell is amazing feel to it. My daughter loves this jacket. The all fleece design is fantastic. A fantastic jacket a great value.

Got for my daughter as a gift, she loves it! Soft, warm, comfortable, and roomy. Her new "go-to" winter jacket. A winner in my book

I absolutely love this jacket. It is fitted, so the Large I ordered was a little tight. The inside of the jacket is so plush and kept me warm in 30 degree weather.

I bought this jacket in wine color and I love it. I am 5'3 113lbs and bought this in small. I wanted to buy in medium size but I waited too long and it was sold out by the time I decided to buy this. I think the medium size would have worked better on me because it does run a little small. But I still have lot of room to breath and move comfortably. I wear this jacket with light shirt inside and looks amazing. Very Very comfortable, Soft, Warm, and the quality is beyond amazing!!!!

I am 5'6" 150 pounds. I bought a large and it fits perfectly. I can wear a sweater underneath (but not a bulky one). I purchased the plum and wish it was offered in more interesting colors. The plum is okay but is very dark almost black. Most colors wash me out so I try to stay away from black. I wish I could have seen the red one in person. Red shades with a blue undertone will wash me out as well. However, the fit and quality of this jacket is very nice. I live in Ohio and it will keep me warm on most if not all winter days.

This is one of the best jacket i bought. All my jackets are columbia and I think this is so far the best so it deserves to have a review from me. I hate how windy and cold it is during winter and this jacket kept me warm and i won't feel the wind at all. I love it!

This jacket is perfect for the Minnesota weather! It's comfortable and breathable I and chose a bright color that stands out in the snow!! I'LL BUY AGAIN IN EVERY COLOR I AM A PROUD CUSTOMER!!!!

I was given one of these jackets last year for my birthday. I loved it so much I just bought another in a different color. It is lightweight, warm, and so gorgeous! It makes me happy every time I put it on. I might just have to buy a third one!

My coworker has this same jacket. I purchased a different color and I love it! I love the fur inside the jacket itself and even the hood! It's super warm. I am really happy with my purchase!

I ordered this for myself and loved it. I ended up losing the first one so I ordered it again. I normally wear a medium but ordered a large and it fit perfect. I have used it in the windy/icy Chicago winter and my upper body was completely warm. I like it so much I ordered one in a medium for my daughter, too. She's a pre-teen and didn't want something with a hood but once she had it on during freezing temperatures she was glad she had it. She even made her friends try it on to show them how warm it is!

Jacket is great when it is too cold for a sweatshirt. Nice and soft on the inside and still provides room for range of motion.
