Customer Reviews Columbia Alpine Action™ Jacket

I Absolutely Love this Men's Alpine Action Insulated Jacket. It's very light but, extremely warm. I live in Chicago Illinois & our winters can get to negative 20 degrees & this particular coat kept me Extremely warm because of the layer of Omni Heat Insolation built inside of it. Simply Outstanding..! Well Done, I give it 5 STARS

This coat was my 3rd from Columbia in the last few years. Thanks to the Omni-Heat and Omni-Tech , I stay dry and warm in a breathable winter coat that looks sharp . This jacket is great for whatever the need. From protection of winter's bite to everyday use to ski/snowboarding with its removable / adjustable hood and snap back powder skirt. These coats will continue to be in my closet for years to come.

I was introduced to the alpine action jacket on a recent trip to the top of Pike's Peak. It was 31 at the summit and boy, were these jackets a bonus. I knew I had to buy one as soon as I returned home to Connecticut. I am sure that I will be warm and dry this coming winter! Love this jacket and highly recommend it.

Highly recommend this jacket

Very lightweight jacket but very warm. Pretty durable and it allows for great movement. Highly reccommend this jacket. Definitely going to make winter less miserable this year

I love it!! Good product. And specially keep me warm.

this jacket is really nice - warm and looks good on . originally had bought a medium and returned for a small it runs a little big

I have to say that I am not objective talking about this jacket. My father used to wear this versatile product all the time and the last image I have about him is with his black jacket,white shirt and his boots. He died a year ago, and I had a time where I can't stop thinking about him. The other day I shopped the same jacket I can say that represents everything to me, I feel his dedication wearing this jacket.

Love this jacket bought it for my husband

I was looking for a jacket that will work for cold weather and waterproof, this one is a winner. Also the design is incredible and elegant.

Very nice fit, a little bigger than expected but in our case it was a plus. Feels protective yet comfortable.

I bought this jacket as a replacement for a previous Columbia 3-in-1 Bugaboo jacket. I loved that jacket and was hesitant to try this one. However, I have been extremely pleased with the alpine action jacket. It is extremely light weight in comparison to my 3-in-1 as well as just as warm on cold windy days. As of now I would highly recommend this jacket.

I bought this jacket solely for snowboarding. Sizing: I'm 5'8" and 260 lbs, and I normally wear XXXL in other brands. I bought this jacket in 2X, and it fit perfect in most areas. Since the jacket has a bit of an athletic cut, it did feel a little tight around the waist when I bought it (I was 275lbs at the time). I had lost 15 lbs between when I bought the jacket and when I hit the slopes, and by that time the jacket fit comfortably. Performance: The jacket did very well with keeping my dry and warm. I wiped out a couple of times in some deep powder, and the jacket kept all the snow on the outside. As for heat retention, I was only wearing a long-sleeve shirt and a Voodoo Vest for layering, and I was plenty warm in 13F degree weather. The jacket is a pretty good middle-weight shell, and is not as bulky as other snowboarding jackets that I've owned in the past (other brands). I've also gone home wet & cold with the past jackets, and this was the first one I've owned that I can happily say did not happen after an awesome day on the slopes.

I bought this in 2XLT and it fits perfect. The jacket is warm, yet not bulky. It is the perfect mid weight jacket! I'd highly recommend it!

Been skiing for 30+ years and have never found a better jacket than the Alpine Action, especially for the money spent. The pockets are well-placed and all zippered to keep out the cold and moisture. It is very lightweight, and I have great range of motion in it. It's not at all bulky, but I have worn it in -5 degree weather and still been warm with some layering underneath. I love the inside pocket on the left side for the phone and the removable hood. The sleeve ski pass pocket is great too. The colors are all very bright and stylish. I get a lot of compliments!

Bought this jacket for my husband and he loves it! He wears it everyday.

My husband really likes this jacket. It keeps him warm while being light in weight.

I'm 6'1" 205 lbs and got the XL because my previous coat was that size. It's a bit big and I think a L would've been perfect. But I got it on sale and they didn't have a L to exchange for. The graphite with blue is a great color. This jacket is overall very good. The large mesh inside pocket isn't very useful for everyday use. It's too big and loose to hold anything well. I realize it's designed for ski goggles, though. The other pockets are great. One negative is that the Omni heat fabric does not go into the sleeves for some odd reason. My wife has the women's version of this same exact jacket (Alpine Action) and her sleeves have the Omni heat fabric. If I'm wearing s T-shirt, my arms get a little cold, but if I'm in a long sleeve, I don't notice it. It's also light and weighs much less than my previous coat. Overall, it's a good choice.

I needed a jacket that could handle temperatures and weather in ny as an aircraft mechanic. As a tech I'm subject routinely to -20F, winds gusting to 30-45 knots, ice, snow, rain, and hours out doors in these conditions. So my demands on a coat are fairly high. Also the coat couldn't be to large or bulky b/c I work in tight confines. I reviewed many other competitors jackets such as "hart" but I feel they have more of a construction worker look. I want to appear professional and stylish but more importantly stay dry and warm. This coat kept me warm and dry on the coldest day-19 with the wind chill blowing snow in ny. The Omni heat proved itself. Also when I went inside I wasent over heating. The hood works great. I've read mixed reviews about the hood but in my experience I think most of the problems occurred bc the hood wasent properly adjusted. There's 3 adjustments. A Velcro strap down the middle of the hood and two elastic cords on the side. I adjusted them to my head and the hood works excellently. The pockets hold all my small tools and hardware I received lots of compliments on the good looking design and slim look. I purchased 2 more for co workers and we all love the product. It's abrasive resistant to and spill resistant. I've had various fluids spilled on the coat and non of them stained the coat. When I work in extreme conditions I wear "-armor", a long sleeve shirt hoodie and the alpine coat for my upper body. Long johns sweats n work pants boots beenie gloves. So you have a full picture of my attire. Hope this helps. This jacket is amazing. I use to get super cold very fast. This coat allows me to layer maintain a slim appearance and keep my core temp up. I give the coat and Columbia my highest praise.

This jacket is just perfect all around. The medium fits my 5'10" son great. The chest pocket was key when deciding on a jacket, gotta have a spot for the phone! All the pockets are great without being over done.

The tech in this jacket is awesome. Lightweight, warm, and flexible. Great jacket for a great price. Only issue is that is runs a little large, in my opinion so I had to return for a size smaller. If you like a bigger fit for skiing/snowboarding it will be perfect. If you like a fitted feel, you might want to get a smaller size than the measurements show.

Small runs a little large for me but still loving it since i have room to layer. Tested it in a ski resort near my area and it functions as advertised.. warm, breathable, waterproof.. i wish it would have an optional finger loop in the cuffs.. but all in all... loving it... columbia products so far never failed to meet my expectations..

Took this bad boy with me to go ski Colorado and it held up great!! Kept me more than warm and dry all week long! Gonna buy another one in a different color...

For me is excellent jacket beacause has good material for water resistant, is light weight, inside thermal material truly works and it has convenient pocket incase is needed. Good choice for winter and sport use.

I've only had the jacket for a short time but so far it has been very warm yet breathable, its light weight compared to other jackets I have that I wear in the same conditions. It has tons of pockets to keep everything you have organized.
