Customer Reviews Columbia Ascender™ Softshell Jacket

I just received the jacket and noticed that the stitching along the base of the sleeve is already coming apart. So, I question the long-term durability of the jacket. Also, the opening of the chest/Napoleon pocket is on the small side, which might be an issue for people with larger hands.

Fit perfectly, arrived quickly- this was a gift and was received happily

The jacket was of the usual Columbia quality but was quite a bit larger than other items I've purchased despite being listed as the same size. Didn't fit me at all.

Purchased this exact jacket about 4-5 years ago and the quality is much better than this 2022 version. The new version only has one drawstring compared to the older one which has two therefore creating much less of a cinched look on the newer jacket. The zippers have much cheaper strings that Im afraid are going to tear if I pull to hard. Overall the older versions build was better and drawstrings cinched all the way around the waist as compared to the newer version which only cinches on one side making the drawstrings quite useless.

It seemed like a good jacket but I was looking for something with soft material on the entire inside. Jacket also ran a little large.

Nice jacket, sharp looking, durable, and pretty color

Medium weight jacket that seems durable yet sleek.

I ordered a jacket for my grandson. It came immediately and was perfect. From service to quality it was exemplary. Highly recommend

These softshells are amazingly warm and comfortable, very stylish and form fitting! They tend to run a tad bit on the larger side if you like it snug get a smaller size.

Comfortable, stylish and lightweight jacket fits well and provides warmth on cool days or nights.

Just the way I wanted. Very warm inside. Good looking Outside.

The jacket has a nice outside shell but the inside build quality is sub par. The interior is not very soft and has exposed stitching. This would be fine on a cheaper jacket but at this price the quality just isn't up to par. The jacket doesn't move very well with you. It winds up being incredibly restricting in spots and way to loose in others often times allowing cold air in. Its a fine jacket but not worth the price

Nice jacket that is warm enough outside if it's above zero and not so warm that it can't be worn inside.

This jacket is so greatI came back and bought another one. It's warm, stylish, and adjustable. That pretty much covers all bases. It's true to size. I'm 6 feet and around 185 lbs. The large fits great. Columbia for the win!

This is a smart looking jacket that can be worn with anything. Nice fit medium weight that I wear frequently.

The jacket is incredibly warm, I bought it in large and its just lil bit bigger than i like, but overall a great jacket!

Runs a little bigger than usual. I wear XL feels like an XXL.

i bought this beautiful jacket for a friend of mine as a gift. he said the jacket very comfy, functional, and nice looking. he was so happy with the gift.

Wanted a rain jacket to fit over a sweater or light sport coat. I'm 5'10" 170lbs. Bought a large. An XL would have been better but its the enormous neck that's no good. Even when zipped all the way up, the melon sized neck will not protect against wind or rain. Unlike at the wrists and waist, there is no velcro to shape the neck opening. Nice material. Nice green.

I'm 5'9" 165lbs and ordered a Medium and it fits amazing. I like the jacket so much I bought another one in a different color

I bought this jacket for my friend as gift. He was so happy how comfortable the jacket is. He uses the jacket for the daily commute

High quality material. Exact fitting and arrived on time.

Great fit. Super fabric. Recommended!!! I am happy!

Awesome, but I feel it a bit larger than usual for a L size.

Excelent material and size. Great Waterproof easy to wash
