Customer Reviews Columbia Alpine Action™ Omni-Heat™ Jacket

Great jacket. Overall very satisfied. Wish it came in a long for the jacket hit mid butt and therefore it comes up making it look like the jacket is too big. Longer would be nicer for less wind and water on the overall body would be great. I did buy a medium when I'm typically a small for layering. However, I think I could have fit a small everywhere but I was afraid of my bust having an issue (32DDD) it be too tight. I bought on sale so when I went to purchase a small it was no longer in stock. Regret not ordering sooner with both a small and medium. However, I will not return. It's windproof and waterproof like it says. Recommend buying!

I love this jacket though I think it doesn't really keep warm especially when the the temperature fell below zero. I usually wear M but ordered an L because of the other reviews that said it runs small. Just for reference, I am 5ft 1in and 135 lbs. It fits okay and I can layer up comfortably. Overall, I think this is a good jacket.

This jacket is great - light but warm and has so many pockets. Sized up for a looser feel!

I like the color of this product, pink and blue looks perfect. And I also like some details, for example, the extra clothes to cover the palms, the touch for collar is really soft.

So far it seems be OK. I ordered the XL hoping to have more flexibility and movement for skiing. However, it seems to be tight under the arms. The rest of jacket fits fine. I did wear it outside to check its warmth, not too sure about that yet.

I received this coat quickly and it was truly a beautiful coat. It was to small so I had to return it but the color was great. Ended up finding another coat on their site that I liked just a little better so I am giving that one a go. There products are by far the best quality though.

As a girl who has wide shoulders and loves to layer, I'm concerned with the sizing of this coat. its a little tight in the shoulders if I'm layering with thicker materials. Overall, I like it.

I purchased this jacket as a replacement for my previiusnonni heat jacket. I love the warm without all the bulk! I really like the jacket however was a little disappointed that it runs small compared to my previous jacket (which was also a large) and I needed to return it for a larger size (xl). I also wish they still had the wind resistant zippers rather than the Velcro flap to cover the zipper, but still an overall good quality, all use winter jacket.

Bought this for my 13 yo daughter who is 5'2" and about 125 lbs who usually wears a womans medium. Glad I purchased in a large. I usually wear a large and this is too small for me. Beautiful color (lagoon) and not too bulky. She likes it.

Purchased for skiing. I am 5'8" 170 lb and have other Columbia jackets in size L that I love. This one, however, has much shorter sleeves and feels tight across my shoulders when I reach my arms forward. I am returning and may order an XL, hoping sleeves will be longer. The Nocturnal color is awesome, though.

The sleeves were unbelievably tight for an extra large.

Love the color and all the different pockets. The only I have is the arms are a little snug. I work outdoors and where a company sweater. I have to take the sweater off in order to be comfortable. Other than that love it.

I bought this jacket for my trip to Iceland last week. I was worried at first that the jacket would be too bulky and make me look like a marshmallow. I was also a bit apprehensive about how insulated it would keep me and how waterproof it would be. Lo and behold, I wore this in Iceland for a 4 day trip full of excursions. Let me just say, it performed it's function well. It kept me warm in temperatures below 30 degrees and it kept me from being soaked from the rain. I will add that I also went on a glacier hike. The weather was terrible. It rained violently and it was super windy. But I managed to stay dry and warm! Iceland weather is bipolar. The wind and rain can give you a bit of hypothermia if you aren't equipped well. Also, this jacket kept me dry when I was up close to the waterfalls. I would have been soaked! Overall, lovely jacket. My only quip was that the the sleeves that loop my hand aren't waterproof so when it would get wet, it would get too cold for my hands. However, the hand sleeves were quick to dry too. So it wasn't so bad. This jacket dries pretty quickly too. I left it hanging by the rack / on a radiator and boom, dry the next day. Highly recommended! Generally I am a small, but you know how it is with cold weather and layers. Get a medium if you need to add some layers for insulation. Works well with layers :)

I bought this coat for skiing and loved everything about it except that it didn't have underarm vents. I felt like this was going to be important when it warmed up a little since it didn't have a second layer that you could remove like some jackets. I loved the color and feel of the fabric, I almost kept it anyway.

Normally wear size small everything comfortably. I ordered this jacket online size small and I could barely zip it up with just a shirt underneath. Definitely size up if you intend to layer up underneath this jacket at all. Ended up having to return the jacket because they didn't have any mediums left.

Fits well, sleeves are plenty long enough, lots of pockets and keeps me warm. Would recommend buying.

The jacket keeps me very warm. It fits a little tighter than I would expect but it works perfect because I don't need to wear a sweatshirt underneath. It keeps me very warm.

I love this jacket. I'm finding new things I love about it everyday. Hidden pockets, removable hood. The only wish i could say in this jacket is It needs ventilation in the arms or somewhere in the coat. It's a great coat for negative degree weather or windy days. There's great features to keep the snow out and to hide your valuables from the elements on the slopes. In everyday errands like shopping I felt like I was going to pass out over how hot I was in the jacket heavy sweats in weather just above freezing. I'm a size 10-12 and about 5"8 and the Large fits great.

This jacket keeps me warm. It fits nicely and I can still be mobile and it's slimming. Love the color and the inserts for your hands.

Great jacket-love the color and features

Good design and slim fit

This coat is exactly what I wanted it to be I am in nyc the weather is cold most of the year and I already put this baby to use and it is great. A bit bigger then expected but space for sweaters lol

The jacket is light weight and very easy to move around in. Even though it is light weight, it keeps you very warm. I bought an x-large, and it fits a little tight. I usually wear and x-large and have a looser fit.

The coat is light weight enough not to feel cumbersome, which helps when you are carrying a backpack and everything else on campus. Very warm too. Nice quality. Only thing that was a hindrance was the coat runs smaller then what the fit chart states. Usually wear a medium and had to return coat for a large.

This is a good thing to have. My beloved wife feels so comfortable with it. The size is fit, and the best thing is the omny heat works great. It's perfect choice for winter.
