Customer Reviews Columbia Ascender™ Softshell Jacket

The jacket was bought for as a friend's birthday gift. He really liked it and it was true to size.

This is a very light jacket that will keep you warm in the beginning of the fall or spring. The material is great and it's wind resistant. Very comfortable. It would be even better if it had a hood - maybe they will make it one day. I really recommend this jacket. Makes you look thinner too.

Not a bulky jacket. Water resistant and warm.

I bought this for fall and early winter hiking. It's not super thick which is good as I wear multiple layers. It provides good insulation while also some protection from the rain. The only thing I don't like about it is how far the collar/neck pops up.

I was looking for a jacket I could wear at times when my thick winter coat was too much. This jacket fills that void perfectly. It's great for keeping warm on chilly days, but doesn't make you super hot when inside for a little bit. It looks very nice so it's great for wearing to work too. I said it fit a little small, but I'm 6' 4" so it's slightly short for my arms and waist but I still wear it all the time.

Excellent quality- runs a little small in the arms so will have to return it.

Excellent product. Love Columbia!

Bought 25 jackets for my team and they all loved it

Bought this for an upcoming trip to Ireland. Just trying it on my husband was impressed. Bought a large and fits perfect (true to size). Being lined is really nice but right now can't wear as we live in South Florida.

I have been looking for this jacket for a long time. The outer soft shell is a great windbreaker and water resistant. It hold up great in light rain. I wear it when the weather is in the 50s or 60s but could put a sweater on underneath and wear it in cooler weather. This jacket is heaver than other soft shells I have seen and that's what I love about it. It feels like quality. The price is a value as well. Looks good with jeans or track pants. Great for travel. I am 5'6" and 150 lbs with a 32 in waist and a 40 in chest.

This jacket is perfect. It keeps you warm, it's good for the rain, and it looks terrific. Recommend!

My husband loves this jacket. Perfect weight for spring and summer.

This is my second purchase of the Ascender jacket. The first one left in the Nashville Airport. I'm sure whoever found it felt very fortunate. Very comfortable. Warm yet very flexible. I strongly recommended.

The best soft shell to buy . This product keeps you so warm during cold days and the wind is a non factor when wearing this product . It's a win for me keeps me warm and is very lightweight so I can still do daily activities and not be bothered by mobility !

After asking me about my jacket a few times, I got this jacket as a gift and my best mate just loved it!

Very comfortable jacket. My second one. Excellent protection from the elements. Can't go wrong with this. Highly recommended.

A great spring jacket. Functional, and a perfect fit.

Perfect for what I need it for, something to keep a light rain off me and something that fits slim so it's low drag while flying across the water on my boat. Also an added bonus that it's a relatively warm jacket as well when layered underneath. Perfect fit and function and looks stylish too. Collar very functional as well.

It's an awesome jacket .fits very good! and answer my needs-it is not for winter!bit more like a trail jacket.my only problem is that it doesn't have a hood and sometimes it's windy and it bothers me alot(they do have a hooded version)

I've only had the opportunity to wear this jacket a few times. It has functioned well for the limited time I have had it.

These are great jackets. I have 4 of them in different colors. I am a UPS Driver and wear one to work nearly every day. Love the light weight, but still very durable and rain and wind resistant. Great product

I was looking for a great fitting jacket that looked good and was not to heavey or too light. Also one that was somewhat weather resistance. This jacket exactly fit my expectations. I love the buffalo color.....thinking about ordering another for a spare.

This is a good soft shell jacket. I'm 6'2" 195lbs and the large fits good, just the right amount of room if I wanted to wear a sweatshirt underneath or just a T-shirt. The only issue I have is I would have rather had the chest pocket on the inside instead of the outside.

great product with no defects

Bought this jacket for my husband and he loved it. He even said it was better than his old north face.
