Customer Reviews Columbia Big & Tall Ascender™ Softshell Jacket

I've owned my jacket for years. I keep logging on to hopefully find they have different colors. Please do this in a camo style in the tall sizes.

I loved the jacket. It fit well and was very comfortable. I did need to return it for an exchange because the zipper got snagged a few times.

Jacket arrived fairly quick. Once I received it, I tried it on and it's quite snug. Doesn't hinder movement. It is on the short side as far as length goes. I may exchange for a TALL fit.

Great jacket. Shame it has no inside pockets. Nice for Fall and Spring.

Purchased for 6'4" husband for golf. The sleeves are plenty long enough, something that's usually a problem. I already have this jacket and its perfect for cool weather. Love the material but hey, why does his jacket have a breast pocket but mine doesn't?

Good looking jacket maybe a little light for the coming cold weather

Good quality. Good fit. Like the zipper pockets. XLT size.

I've purchased 6 softshell Columbia Jackets in yrs past, I need a quality jacket as I work outside daily, depend on them, the function is matched by quality/and a good look, although I get them dirty, they offer confidence in the style, the large tall(LT); I'm 6'0, 36 waste, it is definitely longer than the regular, I buy a large, or LT in this case, Columbia runs true to size, or slightly larger than other brands, sets at mid hip, does not ride up, or expose belt, when squatting or bending over, only con on these jackets-the zippers always snag, or fail-after about a season.

I like this jacket, however I ordered the XLT and wish it were even taller than it came. Overall, still a nice jacket.

I bought this as a gift for my dad as he wears these jackets almost every day. This is his 4th one of this type and he loves it! Won't wear anything else. Seriously!!

Just what I was looking for...upcoming Christmas river cruise. Weight bulk just right, just tested on fall foliage tour. On line allowed custom sizing which would have been difficult in store

I purchased the XXL Tall and the overall fit is good but the arms are a little snug compared to my other Columbia jackets.

It fits well. It looks very nice.

Good quality, flexible, light weight jacket. Fit well over broad shoulders in one size bigger. Good warmth for southern US winters.

nice jacket, should perform well and many conditions

This jacket was everything I was looking for in a light jacket. It is comfortable, not too warm and looks great. My only problem is the tall size was too short. I wish it would have been an inch or 2 longer.

Liked, but don't love it. The jacket may need just a little heavier felt lining so that 30 degree days don't feel so cold. Other than that its great!

It is a great jacket. Keeps you dry and warm without being bulky. For long days on the range the jacket is perfect. Rated four stars due to the zipper sticking. If not for that it would be rated 5.

It's a nice jacket just runs small. But it fit my son and he likes it so it was worth still getting

I like this jacket but the manufacturer's price is $45 less than DXL's sale price.

Coat fits very well. We purchased a tall, would of liked the body to have been a little longer but the sleeves were perfect!

This jacket fits very well. I bought an LT and I'm 6'5". It's just a tad bit wide and the sleeves are rounder than they need to be. So I'm getting it altered to fit me better. Not a big deal. It's worth the effort in order to have a jacket with long enough sleeves.

I bought this to replace an omnitech jacket that had the reflective lining that has worn out(loved that jacket). I had to go up a size as the Columbia jackets this year seem to be running small. Have always bought and have XXL but had to go to 3XL on this one to get my arms into. This is a nice jacket, but a little heavier and not as warm as the one I was replacing. Material is sturdy. Not as good against the wind as the ones in the past. I still like it though.

The fit is right on as I wear tall sizes. It is lightweight and seems to be a good quality.

I am a trim 6'7" and it's hard to get a decent fit in tall clothes, if there is any selection at all. This one almost works but the sleeves are just short and I HATE ordering an xl just to get sleeves that fit better because then the body is blousey. Otherwise The coat quality is great and looks good.
