Customer Reviews Columbia Ascender™ Hooded Softshell Jacket

This jacket is perfect for spring or autumn like weather specially on those cold rainy days because it keeps you dry and warm. I like that the inside of this jacket is soft and this jacket is not heavy at all.

I love this jacket. It fits and looks great!

Great for all outdoor experiences

This is my 2nd one and Columbia is great quality for the price. Great jacket for all seasons.even winter. Wind and rain the hood works great. Packs up in backpack for a trip without wrinkling. Love this jacket!

I bought this for my teenage son, he loves it! I find it to be equal in quality and comfort to The NorthFace jacket he had been looking at. Great everyday jacket. Highly recommend

It fit a little weird, but I think that's me and what I expect. It's totally right for what I do right now, it's more designed for Spring/Fall and that was the piece I was missing. I just needed something like this, I live in New Mexico right now so I'm not sure about the water blocking stuff, but can't wait to try it out before I move back east. The only problem I have is I like to wear a shirt(like a second layer) and it tends to bunch up around my forearms with a long sleeve type second layer, but, boy it is just right outside of that, get it on sale as I'm cheap and would not have spent the money for the regular price.

Was as chistmas gift for my son and it fit perfectly! He loved it

It's everything that I wanted. Fits perfect and looks awesome!

Excellent product, it does as advertised. Heavy rain and wind just seem to bounce off. Having zippered pockets and a generous zippered arm pocket are very helpful. A mid weight hoodie that works for running, hiking, or just everyday use! A very small nit pick, I wish it had a inside pocket, but at it's very reasonable price you can't have everything. Bottom line I love the product !

Great jacket! The jacket runs a little big. I thought it would be a little warmer, but it does stop wind.

This jacket looks very classy, yet is casual. It washes well.

This is an excellent every day jacket. Very comfortable and affordable. The size I got ran a little bit too big for me, but it is still an amazing jacket.

I live in Colorado and this thing is a good top layer for any cold weather situation. Love this thing.

Product was exactly what I ordered from the description online. I bought this for my teenage age and he loved it!

Looks nice, feels good, fits well. It's not quite as nice as north face and other more expensive brands but for the price it's the best jacket out there.

My fianc was looking for a jacket like this one, that had somewhat of a tactical feel to it. So, after searching for jackets, he found this one. So, I ordered it in XL. The fit is great, the water resistance is great, jacket keeps him warm and toasty with a t-shirt underneath, and he wears it everywhere now. This is his go to jacket, whenever he leaves the house. The price is unbeatable, for a quality product as this one. Columbia will be our go to place to purchase nice jackets, quality, ect. The shipping only took a couple of days too! Overall, this jacket gets 5's from us. We're happy we chose Columbia!

I bought this jacket for my son who is very picky about fit and quality. When it arrived he immediately opened the package and tried it on for fit and comfort. He stated to me that it was a perfect fit and the it was very comfortable. Over all the jacket is very well made and looks good.

This is a great Fall/Spring jacket. I love the athletic cut on this thing, makes me feel sexy wearing it. Very comfortable. I will get the GRAPHITE one next time it goes on sale. I ordered the black one because the girl in the store liked it better on me than the graphite.

Love the jacket, kept me warm and dry.

Very satisfied with my jacket. Little overpriced but still happy that i bought it

I love my new Ascender soft shell jacket .It's ready to go rain ,snow ,sleet and sun .Now if it's really cold I layer it with my Steens Mountain Jacket now I'm warm ,and toasty .The jacket is smooth on the outside ,but the fleece on the inside is soft and fluffy it really feels great next to my skin. I'm a Columbia fan for life .

I bought this jacket about 6 months ago and have loved it since day 1. I love the versatility of the jacket as you can layer it with a sweatshirt or fleece if needed for chilly days. Great windblocking and rain repellent capabilities. Would definitely recommend and buy again!

This jacket works so well. I already had it in the rain and the water beaded up and rolled off no big deal. It is warm but not to warm the hood is nice, does have a weird Velcro on the back and not sure what the use of it is. You can wear layers underneath because it is a good size. I do wish it came a tad bit smaller, everything is true to the measurements i just like my cloths on the smaller side, less to get tangled with but other than that perfect for cold days biking to school 40 degree mornings and good for light to mid rain.

Love Columbia products especially this jacket. Not too heavy and still keeps you warm

size, color and quality always the best
