Customer Reviews Columbia Ascender™ Softshell Jacket

Versatile jacket that works for casual everyday wear. Looks nice and layers well.

Nice product very comfortable

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.

This jacket coupled with my columbia sweatshirt makes for perfect walking gear when it gets a little chilly outside.

Very comfortable and warm best jacket you can get!

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.

Thank goodness this stretches! I wear this at work in all conditions. Rain beads right off. One small complaint, little tight in the arm holes when you have layered items underneath.

I have worn this jacket almost every day since I got it 2 weeks ago. It is the perfect weight and warmth/wind protection for the changing late fall weather. Size is true to size and roomy enough to layer a light vest or down pull over underneath. Even warm as I drive my scooter to the train station!

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)

This coat is good for the rain. We layer it over a hoodie and my son stays warm.

Cool jacket, runs a bit big on the S size

Comfortable warm an fits great!!

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

This fits true to size, and is warm and lightweight. It does what it is supposed to do and looks great for casual or business. I would recommend this!

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.

My husband's favorite jacket. It's comfortable and the fit is perfect!

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.

It's a perfect fit. The color is not as bright as it appears on the picture. Gives good warmth

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

Please be aware that the 2019 design of this coat has changed and it is not noted in the description. In 2018 the drawcord hem was adjustable from both sides; one toggle on the right and one toggle on the left. The 2019 design only includes one toggle on the right side. We have trusted Columbia for years because of their quality and price, this makes it seem they are looking for ways to cut corners. Our disappointment with this is that the coat cinches up on the right side but the left side stays flat, making the coat look like something is wrong; unbalanced. If we fuss with it we can smooth it out a little on the right side, but with wear, it cinches back up. Otherwise, the jacket is what we expected. When speaking with the Columbia representative she was polite but it was clear that my only options were to return it or deal with it. Have not decided which we will do yet.

I bought a "Petrol Blue" jacket as the website says, but it isnt. The jacke color is like dark aqua blue, is not the same color showed by the website. Another thing is that it runs a little small, too fit.

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.
