Customer Reviews Columbia Ascender™ Softshell Jacket

I always like Columbia jackets, because of the quality and workmanship.

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.

Excelent jacket very confortable, I loved Columbia

Great light jacket. I wish it were a little shorter for my body type.

Perfect amount of stretch, recommended for mildly windy to rainy weather (spring/autumn).

Great workmanship, comfortable, very happy with product

I bought and loved this jacket! So I went back and ordered another because I loved it so much. This is an amazing product from a great company. I will definitely be a return customer for life.

I found this jacket as perfect choice for for my spring vacation. I also bought another for my younger brother. He loves it too.

I purchased this jacket to replace a similar type of steel/jacket that I liked quite a bit (it was issued by a previous employer, and I was looking for something similar with no corporate branding). I'm very happy with this shell it works great for most of the cooler weather we have in Texas, and it surprisingly warm for only being a single layer. I have the black with the orange zippers, and the extra bit of color is a nice touch. It's a simple, understated style that doesn't draw attention to itself. The only issue I would note is a lack of interior pockets, but it's a minor complaint. The three pockets that it has all include zippers which can completely close.

I live in central Florida, And I wear Sweaters EVERYDAY. Don't ask, I have issues. BUt my sweaters were wearing out and I hate buying new ones. SO my friend introduced me to these softshell jackets. I got the Orange and Black one cause Orange is my jam. I freaking love this Jacket! It is so comfortable to wear, light and sturdy. Looks amazing and goes with any occasion. I cannot speak enough about this jacket. Only 1 Con, if you can call it that. No internal pockets!!! My buddy has a Columbia jacket almost identical and it has these great internal pockets that fit a Nintendo Switch in them. This one did not. But it has a breast zipper pocket, so that is something.

I love the texture of the jacket

Fit's like a glove. Just what i was looking for.

I bought these for the CEO, COO and CFO of the company I work for to get our logo put on them. They look great with dress pants if they need to go to a Spring or Fall weather event. Quality is outstanding.

This versatile jacket can be used for many occasions and can be layered. The softshell makes it not too dense and is good at weather protection. The size chart is accurate and I even bought one for my friend's upcoming graduation and for my brother-in-law.

I ordered this jacket for my husband. It was very nice and the material was excellent. It was a little heavier than what I had anticipated. But the jacket over all was very nice.

Great jacket. Warm lining for myself down to about 30 degrees with strong wind block protection. Sheds moisture. I haven't worn in a down pour yet, but a simple rain and have remained dry inside of the jacket. Moves very well and has extra material in the right spots to move arms and bend without discomfort or worry of tearing.

Product of high technology and quality. Excellent.

Third soft shell I have bought. Great fit. Windbreaker with a little insulation.

Needed a new spring jacket and found this on sale. I have never owned a Columbia product before but friends and relatives love them so I thought I would give it a try. I am glad I did! This is a comfortable jacket and some days I find myself wearing it all day. It keeps me warm and dry on my long walk into work from the parking lot.

We use these for our Corporate Jackets and everyone that received one loves it. Great quality and feels great on.

The windbreaker definitely does that job. Sizing was correct for me. It's confortable and looks like it should wear well.

Got this to have another light jacket. It did very well in 40F even with a good wind blowing

This jacket feels great. It's light weight and comfortable. The colors are great too. Would recommend this jacket to all.

I bought this for my husband and he likes it very much.It is warm and fit to his size correctly. I like this product. So far we are happy with this ascender.
