Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboo™ Interchange Jacket

This is a great jacket! It's very warm and great for everyday wearing. Great value as well...you get two jackets for the price of one! So happy I finally found a stylish winter coat that doesn't make me look like I live at the North Pole!

I have never owned a Columbia Jacket...my new boyfriend has a collection of them and I wore his jacket for most of the cold days until I found the perfect one on your website...I love it, the new design thermal inside keeps me warm as can be and it's beautiful..have got so many comments about how nice it looks...

I bought this coat recently. Living in Wisconsin I definately need a warm, waterproof coat and this met the criteria. It's the first product I've owned with the reflective inside to keep me warm, and it works. I've also gotten a lot of complements!

On the scale Chart I was technically a xs but I got a small which is a little big but works very well to keep me warm. I live in MN/WI and I am always cold and this Jacket Keeps me warm with the Omni-heat part of the jacket.

This jacket kept me warm without sweating or feeling weighted down. It is lightweight and fits very well. The liner is very soft but it doesn't always stay put when you are getting in and out of the jacket. I would definitely recommend this jacket to anyone who participats in snow sports.

I bought this jacket to replace a Columbia jacket that I purchased about 8 years ago. My old jacket is a Women's Small. This new jacket that I purchased is also a Women's Small. This jacket is HUGE compared to my old one. I am able to wear multiple layers underneath. I am about 5' tall, and it is very long. Also, normal sweatshirts are too short for my arms because I have long arms, yet the sleeves on this jacket are way too long. Speaking of sleeves, the fleece liner is quite annoying when trying to get your arms in. Also, the coat is considerably thin considering there is a fleece liner. I would definitely recommend getting an XS if you are shorter and normally wear a small. I bought the Red Hibiscus because I loved my previous Red Columbia that I had. I read reviews before purchasing and a lot of people said the Red is more of a "coral" color. People have told me they thought my jacket was more of an "orange" or "pink-ish". I have to disagree, if you previously had a Red Columbia, this jacket is indeed the same color. It's a brighter Red than pictured on the computer, but still red. I live in New England. This year we have been setting records for snowfall (just in 3 weeks). I always wear layers under my jackets because I'm always cold. I have no complaints about warmth. Even though, it was thinner than expected, it still keeps me nice and warm. It is definitely a "relaxed fit" as stated. I have a long Northface Jacket that goes right above the knee, and that jacket fits tightly around my hips. This Columbia jacket doesn't feel tight or snug around my hips at all. Yes, that's how long the size Small Columbia jacket is on me. It goes right below my hips. If you want to "move freely" the relaxed fit is definitely the way to go.

Great jacket! Light weight yet warm. My kind of jacket.

I purchased this jacket for a long weekend in Canada with negative 20 degree and below weather. We played in the snow and toured outside all weekend and the Omni heat was excellent for keeping my torso and neck warm while the wind/waterproof shell kept me dry. The hood also was adjustable and fit nicely around my head. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone traveling/exploring in total cold.

This coat fits true to size. It keeps me warm almost too warm, but overall I love this coat!

This coat provides the necessary warmth without making me look or feel bulky. It is a great two in one coat.

Love the coat and it is very warm. My only comment would be that the arms are a little tight if you wear anything on the heavy side. Love the color!

I'm on my 3rd or 4th Columbia 3in1. I live NC so I wear the fleece lining all the time and the outer shell in our infrequent bad weather. I wear the fleece lining with a tshirt underneath all day and around the house and keep the thermostat at 67 degrees. Wonderful product.

My husband has had a Columbia interchange like this for 5 years now and loves it, so naturally I wanted one too. Picked this one up recently and really like it. I stay plenty warm with both layers on and find it very comfortable. The outer shell keeps me nice and dry too. My only complaint is that it is clearly not the same quality as the one my husband has. Both the fleece and shell are much thinner and lighter than his and the zippers seem cheap in comparison. Feel like they've used this "Omni-Heat technology" as an excuse to cut costs. But as I said, I do still really like it and it does keep me warm. would still recommend this.

Just amazing!!! The color is good and is very warm

It is a very warm coat without all the bulk. I wear this, a scarf, and a hat, I am nice and toasty. The layers allow me to change with the varying temperatures and activity in a day. I would highly recommend this coat.

Light weight and versatile. Very comfortable to wear and weatherproof. Keeps you warm and dry. It is well made and the zippers work smoothly. Being a petite person my arms are short and I find the sleeves a bit long for me. However I rolled the cuffs up and able to still wear the jacket. This was the only negative aspect, but being short I have this problem in purchasing clothing, unless they are specifically manufactured for petites.

This is my first purchase of a Columbia Jacket and I love it. It keeps you warm when temperatures are in single digits. And it fits great!

LOVE this jacket! Its warm, fits true to size! I am a tall person and every jacket, long sleeved shirt, sweater I buy is always too short in the sleeves... NOT this jacket!

I've had this jacket for about a month now and I love it. The fleece zips into the jacket, making it easier on and off. The zippers are also good quality, and I haven't had any problems with them jamming. I'm waiting to see how they hold up over time, hence the "good" rating. The omni heat lining on the fleece keeps it light-weight while warm when being active. This might not be my first choice coat for going to a football game or other outdoor event that doesn't require a lot of activity, but I am stoked to wear it while skiing this winter. My one issue was the sizing - I'm on the M/L cusp, and usually size up in outerwear. I can easily wear a puffy vest and sweater under the large fleece. I like the roominess, but if you are looking for a tighter fit, I recommend sizing down.

Love it. Looks great, feels great and sure is warm

The jacket is great ,very warm . I have found it to be very warm and keep me dry in the rain. highly recommended

After a lot of research and looking at various sportswear stores in Chicago I finally purchased this jacket instead of the one that was $100 more. I love this coat. This am I tested it by walking by the Lake in 27 degrees in a west wind. It performed very well. I was warm and comfortable. I love the omniheat and waterproof quality. For the sake of honesty, I do have a coat good to 40 below that I would wear if it were any colder. However, this coat is perfect for most weather It does run quite small. I am 5'2 and 105 lbs and I am glad I bought a medium. I wear a cotton pullover and a sweater under it because that's what I wear in winter. I bought the pink and LOVE it!

I've been meaning to order this for a long time. Finally got it when I saw it on sale on a trip to Hong Kong. I love how I get 2 jackets for the cost of 1. The outer shell I use for rainy days(monsoon season here in the Phils)...and I can totally forgo the umbrella. The jacket just sheds the rain, and I don't steam up under it because of its breathability. Gotta love OMNITECH! And I love how the adjustable hood keeps the rain out, but without impairing peripheral vision. I haven't had the chance to try it out with the inner jacket zipped in, but I may get the chance on a future trip to colder climes (the main reason I've been hankering for one in the first place!) Now on the lookout for my next Bugaboo, so I can mix and match, lol!

The product received was exactly as requested. It has all the features indicated in the publication.

I read some amazon reviews before ordering this coat and the reviews mentioned how the coat runs too small, so that even petites should get a medium. Not true. I'm 5'4, 125 lb and ordered a medium. It was gigantic on me, sleeves too long, middle absolutely swimming on me, etc.. Returned it and exchanged for an extra small, which was perfect with still plenty of room to spare. Sleeves finally fit right and I could fit a thick sweater or an extra fleece underneath with room to spare. Side note: the white fleece that can be detached from the coat is pretty thin. Was expecting a north face - esque fleece thickness but this one can be comparable to a thin winter sweater. Haven't tried it out in the cold yet but the fleece thickness was surprising.
