Customer Reviews Columbia Ascender™ Softshell Jacket

nice jacket overall. About the only thing I don't love about it is the little velcro at the end of the sleeves.

Bought to replace my favorite camping (everything) jacket, which is worn out. Nice dark green color, I bought the men's version of this jacket because I like the chest zippered pocket and women's doesn't have it. Only thing I'd like more would be an inside pocket. Otherwise , hope this new jacket becomes my next favorite one.

Amazing lightweight and waterproof. These jacket does it all

Perfectly fit and shaped. Highly recommended. I might get another one!

The jacket is really nice, but way too large. I wish it fit I fit into most XL jackets, but this one left a lot of room in the chest and the sleeves went down past my fingers.

Purchased this exact jacket about 4-5 years ago and the quality is much better than this 2022 version. The new version only has one drawstring compared to the older one which has two therefore creating much less of a cinched look on the newer jacket. The zippers have much cheaper strings that Im afraid are going to tear if I pull to hard. Overall the older versions build was better and drawstrings cinched all the way around the waist as compared to the newer version which only cinches on one side making the drawstrings quite useless.

It seemed like a good jacket but I was looking for something with soft material on the entire inside. Jacket also ran a little large.

Wanted a rain jacket to fit over a sweater or light sport coat. I'm 5'10" 170lbs. Bought a large. An XL would have been better but its the enormous neck that's no good. Even when zipped all the way up, the melon sized neck will not protect against wind or rain. Unlike at the wrists and waist, there is no velcro to shape the neck opening. Nice material. Nice green.

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

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.

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 nice jacket, much more better than I expect.

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.

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

As expected. It came with some marks on it though.

Nice coat. Not super warm. Not quite as fitted as we wanted.

I like the jacket. The website didn't specify that it had a thin fleece lining. I was expecting a lighter weight jacket. That's the only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars.

I like the fit of this jacket, however, the zipper on one side at the top is a bit scratchy against my neck. That is my only disappointment with it.

Very good product.

Just bought a new one- the collar used to be a soft fleece type lining- same as the body lining, it is now basic fabric, so its not as soft and not as warm The chest zippered pocket is still there but not quite as big as it used to be, iphone barely fits. Otherwise its the same jacket- great to stop wind and rain and pretty warm with the light lining it has. Good for temps down to 30f or so.

Fits perfectly. Not too hot or cold. Live in Jacksonville Florida and this is perfect jacket for the cool morning

My husband really likes it! I bought it for him to wear to a new job and it is just what he wanted.

Great jacket, but does runs big so size down! We got these monogrammed and used them for Christmas presents for employees.

I bought this for my husband and it is a perfect fit and size and it is very nice looking in the navy blue. It is not too heavy yet warm enough for all but the coldest days of New York's winters. I would describe it as smart casual - sharp enough to wear to work and casual enough to wear around town. His only complaint is that there is not an inside pocket for wallet or keys and that is the reason one star was taken away.
