I bought two of these jackets for my teenage sons who do not like to wear heavy coats, they LOVED It! They both have been wearing them since Christmas. Great fit, made extremely well and most of all .. not bulky! Happy Customer

Where I live it stays about 30-40 degrees in Late November early December and it gets down to about 20 in the winter and so far this jacket has performed wonderfully And has stayed very warm. Please note if you have a dog try to keep the jacket free from static otherwise it will become covered in a thin layer of dog hair

Fits great I ordered a little big so I can Layer my clothes underneath. I have the overnight shipping ordered it around 5pm Tuesday still got it the next day. My old North Face jacket started to come apart so I wanted something not so expensive and this jacket is perfect, cheap price and reminds me of my old North face.

Great fit! Although I wasn't a fan of the velcro on the sleeves, it seems backwards to me. Other than that, decent jacket I think.

I love this jacket. It keeps me warm and dry during light rains or cold weather. It is a perfect light jacket.

Just what I was looking for! A mid-weight jacket that is warm, functional and appears to be water resistant (haven't had the chance to try it out)

As with all Columbia items, this jacket is built to last. I bought a large number of these for our employees and all are consistantly high quality and true to size fit. Placed a large order on Saturday and the delivery was complete and at my doorstep the following Monday.

This jacket is warm and soft. It ain't that bad of a price for it to be a warm and soft jacket. I like it, it is my favorite jacket

I previously had the same jacket and unfortunately it ripped after many years so it was time for a new one. I recently lost weight and hoped I ordered the correct size and when it arrived I was happy that it fit perfectly. This is a great jacket and well made

My husband LOVES this jacket. It cuts the wind on blustery fall days and is virtually waterproof. Very versatile!! He can wear it to work with his khakis or more casual with jeans.

The exterior fabric is soft and it truly repeals light rain. I pair the coat with my fleece jacket to give me extra warmth when it's cooler in the day and night, however, I think the hand pockets could be a bit longer and deeper and the zipper pull cords could be thicker.

This is a nice 3 season jacket that also works as a base layer for winter. Looks professional and regulates heat well.

I had a similar coat for many years that finally wore out. This is the perfect coat for the first day you know its really fall. Its good at blocking the wind and the fleece lining keeps you warm. The velcro on the sleeves lets you adjust the length if they are a little too long. It will resist some drizzle, but not a full blown rain shower. With a heavy shirt or light sweater underneath, you can be comfortable into the upper 40's.

I was looking for a jacket that would keep me warm, but was also lighter weight. I'm a traveling teacher and this jacket is perfect for me.

We began using the Soft Shell Jackets as Winter supplements to our Marine Corps League (MCL) Honor Guard ceremonies. We provide Rifle Salutes for Veterans at the VA Cemetery. Winter months are bitter cold at times and the MCL doesn't have Winter Jackets as part of the uniforms. So we designed our own using the Soft Shell and applying the Iwo Jima Flag Raising embroidery on the right pocket area and the Marine Corps Logo on the left. This provides for a very classy look while simultaneously giving our rifle team protection from the wind and cold during the ceremonies. We are adding another style version of the jacket to our National program that will be raising funds for building a 40% size replica of the Iwo JIma Memorial Statue here in Wisconsin. It will be offered as an incentive/gift with donation to promote fundraising efforts. Great product that performs as promised, coupled with the fantastic quality and customer service that Columbia provides.
