Customer Reviews Columbia Ascender™ Softshell Jacket

Medium was way too small and large was way too large. Good job, Columbia.

Geat quality, however Its bigger than I need, no matter what Im gonna use it

great jacket Is very windproof and has large pockets I can easily put an oversized phone in my chest pocket which is great

Awesome jacket fits true to size with ample room to move around.

I love my jacket! Great quality and good looks. Just wore it on a day with cold cutting wind and I was comfy!

This is a great spring time jacket for me to use on workdays and on days off.

I like this jacket. It fits well and looks sharp.It's perfect for the spring weather. The only issue I have is the chest pocket is too small to carry my phone or a wallet. I like extra pockets and pockets that can accommodate today's needs.

Love it great color scheme, would like to see more of the jackets done like thistles

It was huge. I mean, I am typically a small/XS (5'6"), but this wasn't even close to fitting. If you are in good shape or slim, I wouldn't recommend the S unless you are at least 5'9" or 5'10"

I like that this jacket hits that right in the middle area for temperature. Not too warm but warmer than you think when needed. It breathes as well as sheds light rain and snow pretty well. Doesn't take the place of a rain shell but a good compromise for occasional "heavy humidity." The fabric feels great as a soft shell garment should. I'm 5'10" 205 and this newer jacket in XL fits a little looser than my previous one from a few years go. A little room is good unless you prefer the fitted look over comfort.

Very nice and well made jacket. However, the Velcro on the cuffs seems to be in the odd position ie. on the top instead of the bottom of the sleeves.

It is my "go to" jacket in the fall and spring. Love it.

Very nice medium weight jacket. I have problems with fleece so I trying to find something to wear under it to hopefully tolerate the fleece.

I love this jacket!! This jacket will become your go to! I also have the sage one.

Colors are not at all as pictured online. Also, sizing chart is off by a size.

The collar is wide and high and made of stiff material, so when the jacket is fully zipped, the front of the collar pushes against my chin and the front of my neck. I would have preferred the collar to be shorter and made of a more flexible fabric. The fabric on the outside gives it a better look than just a polar. Material is soft, but not as soft as other jackets. Interior of pockets is not soft.

It is nice jacket, much more better than I expect.

Classy and comfy, and obviously keep you warm. Love my item.

Love it but lighter than expected. I was looking for more of a medium weight jacket like this for temps between 30-45 F. This is ok if I have layers as it blocks the wind well but it is pretty thin and not as warm as I had hoped. I'm giving only 4 stars for lack of pockets on the inside.

Great jacket for hiking ! Light weight ! Warm! Great looking jacket

Very nice jacket. Fit is a bit larger than expected but I still like it a lot.

My husband loved this jacket, very comfortable, lightweight and not to heavy.

I stand 6'0", and I weigh around 185lbs. A size large would be perfect if you are close to my size. This jacket looks very nice, and it keeps you very warm. If you wear some relatively thick undergarments, you can get around comfortably in some pretty cold weather while wearing this jacket. And when you zip up, the zipper goes into a small pocket. It keeps your neck from being irritated by the zipper. Very good design.

The jacket is nice but the pocket came torn out and I can't use it now.

Good fit, but wish they had XS sizes. Good construction, and extremely water resistant, I poured water on the sleeves and stayed completely dry.
