Customer Reviews Columbia Phurtec™ II Softshell

I recieced the jacket right on time with shipping. I'm 5'7 and a size 6, The fit was very true to size (medium). It keeps me warm but it isn't too warm. I go to college in Mississippi but i'm from Illinois so I needed a functional jacket for both climates. It has a hard shell outside but its fury on the inside. Love the jacket!!

Comfortable, lightweight, extremely warm. Perfect fall jacket and it really blocks the wind.

The fit was perfect. It's very warm. Easy to drive wearing this coat. I would recommend this coat.

I really like the fabric, warmth and fit of this coat. I have worn it in temps (so far) of about 50F with little physical activity and while others around me were feeling the chill, I was not. I also really like the fleece lined interior.

Nice tailored styling but not too slim fittting. The weight is perfect for chilly to cold evenings/fall weather. The outside finish protects against wind and rain. Nice lined hood is adjustable. Big inside pockets! Zippered outside. Just a perfect all around jacket. Worth every penny.

This jacket ran a little small for me am 5'3 and 130 pounds it was just a little tight. But the reason that I really liked this coat was that I have two huskies and they have a lot of hair and this coat will not collect on it so that was the big bonus for me and also it had the lining inside which I also loved and it is not a bulky coat and it is fitted and it looks very nice on a person so I think this is a very nice looking coat on a person.

I aboslutely love this jacket! Its soft and comfortable, the pockets on the outside have zippers and the inside pockets are "drop" pockets so I never worry if something fell out. The fabric lining is soft and warm, the omni wind block really does a great job at blocking the wind keep you warm. Perfect for midwest winters, wearing in the car, or out on a walk.

Runs a little tight in the shoulder/ arm pit area. Also seems a little trimmer than the unlined shell. Keeps you warm, I like the adjustable cuffs. Bought a large, I'm 5'5" 147 but have always had wider shoulders

Love this jacket, very warm and comfortable. This is my second jacket I bought of this exact jacket, I love it that much. This jacket does run a bit small in the upper chest, arm and shoulder area. I should have went up 1 size.

Great Jacket, very warm! The arms are a little tight and the body is a little big, but over all awesome jacket.

When ordering you need to go up a size or 2 because this jacket runs small. The lining is super soft and cozy. I have been out in the cold on a windy day and was not disappointed. The hood isn't your typical draw string that can be pulled all the way through so there's no worries on losing it. I do feel like the jacket itself is form fitting but the head and neck area is bigger and can be a little uncomfortable. I would like for the outside to be more flexible with movements but then again it probably wouldn't be windproof. Overall I love this jacket!

I had purchased a similar jacket from Columbia a few years ago and wanted one in a different color. I bought the green and I love it! I did purchase a larger size than usual per the reviews I read that it runs small. I bought the XL when I typically wear a Large. It fits beautifully! The arms are long enough for me. I am 5'10" and 180 pounds. It is the perfect jacket for cold and wet Michigan falls and springs. It sheds water and the hood fits great and stays on! Glad I purchased it.

I typically run very cold and this jacket does excellent at keeping me warm in northern weather. However, it runs a little small so I recommend sizing up.

Jacket definitely runs small. I ordered a Medium because of the reviews and I'm glad that I did-- it's a just fit. I'm 5'2 with a 34D chest. It fits with a very light sweater underneath.

Fits comfortably and so far very warm!

I love this jacket. It is very warm but lightweight. It is my new "go to" jacket for everyday weather conditions.

Very warm and blocks wind well. Runs small for sure. I got a small and I am 5'5 and 118lbs. Small fits snugglely with thin layers underneath and a sweater would be too big to fit under.

I am 5'3" , 130lbs., I purchased a large after reading a few reviews about the fit. I love the fit! It's very warm and the inside is very plush. I am hoping that this will serve me for many seasons.

I personally like the fit of the jacket! It may run small but it still allows for some room for other clothes underneath. It seems to fit pretty great!

I never spend this kind of money so I was excited to receive my brand new XL Women's Phurtec II Softshell jacket. From the moment I put one arm through the sleeve, something didn't feel right. I continued with my other arm and was disappointed that the underarm part of the jacket was too snug fitting and bothered me. Every other aspect of this jackets was sized properly, I am not a big person. I am 45yrs old, 5'5" tall, weigh approx. 156lbs and don't work out so my arms aren't buff but not too flabby. I thought I was shipped the wrong size but I ordered an XL and received an XL. Everything else about this jacket is well made. It has two nice roomy inside pockets that I never find on other jackets. My only irritants were (other than the pits being too tight under my arm) was the fleece being fuzzier than in the men's style, and seems to grab onto your clothing. Second, the "adjustable" hood drawstrings need to come with instructions on how to use. Not sure if you're supposed to pull it, or attach it somehow to the other side. Doesn't feel right and I still can't figure it out. This jacket needs to state that it is made for athletic armed women that work out every day and not for average women. Also, it's not meant to be worn over anything other than thin athletic wear or muscle shirt. Disappointed that it doesn't come in a larger size. I will be returning and ordering something else.

I bought this to replace an off brand fleece lined jacket that had gotten too small. After reading the other reviews I ordered a size up (normally I wear shirts in a Medium, ordered this in a large). Very glad I ordered the bigger size, I don't think I could have zipped up a medium, the large fits snug. The sleeves are long, which I expected going up a size. The jacket is also much warmer than I anticipated. My only issue is that the sleeves seem tight; it's ok if I am wearing short sleeve, 3/4 sleeve or a thin long sleeve, but a thicker long sleeve is slightly uncomfortable. Not so much that I will return the jacket, but just something to be aware of.

I mainly bought this because I needed something for the cold weather but a little lighter than a 3-in-1 and the price was great. I was under the impression that this jacket would be blocking out wind, which it does...to a degree. Still felt cold at times even when it was chilly. Definitely fine for when its 30 degrees or warmer, but nothing colder than that without additional layers.

The jacket is a very pretty blue, true to picture. Sleeves are a good length, I like them halfway down my hand, with functional velcro cuffs. I ordered a M even though I'm 5'2" 117, intended to layer underneath since I'm always cold. I am able to wear a tighter hoodie underneath easily. The fleece goes all the way down the arms to keep them warm. On cooler days I can manage with just a t-shirt underneath and still stay warm. Cold days (35 degrees) the hoodie is needed. The hood which is attached provides good cover when jacket is zipped and does not have a tendency to fly back even in windy conditions. Fits well when driving and not bunchy or uncomfortable. I wish it was a little heavier and thicker

Warm and comfortable Love It!

I really love this coat. I bought this to replace a North Face and ended up liking this jacket more. It's extremely warm and not too bulky. I really like that the coat is lined through the sleeves. The only con is that it does run a little small. The XL fits me the way a L usually does, except the sleeves are too long. Overall though, I'd recommend this.
