Customer Reviews Columbia Steens Mountain™ Vest

The fit and size are good. However, the material is like very thin felt and looks very cheap. This "vest" is more like decoration than an actual substantial vest. On the models, it may look thick and worth the cost, but I found the price to be way too much for this poor product.

The vest runs large and the shoulders are too square. Not form fitting.

Good quality. Was looking for something I could layer. A little bulky for that application.

It's just okay for the price light with out chest pocket or inside pocket

The color for this is much darker than shown in the picture. The color is more like a combination of light brown and dark brown.

The pocket has a hole in it. Otherwise as expected.

The vest itself is really good, but I wish the color matched the photo. It's really olive, not buckskin as shown. But, at this price it wasnt worth the trouble of returning.

Nice half sleeve. Collar a bit odd.

A very warm vest, but not really that useful outside as it doesn't protect your neck from the zipper.

Order the vest in a large, just a little to small. Looks great but sadly had to return them at no hassle.

The navy blue color is actually lighter than what is shown in the photo. The charcoal heather is made out of bad material that keeps coming off the vest and onto the shirt. This is quite inconvenient and a little worrisome. Other wise it is a good product but it would have been better if Columbia focussed on the quality of the materials and the finish of the product.

I did not like the color combination after seeing it in person, so I didn't use it and am unable to comment on it's functionality though it seems lighter in weight that previous Columbia fleece vests I have had.

The vests were more lightweight than I expected My other vests are heavier & warmer

I just received this vest today. I picked a Tusk, Buffalo color. By the look of the pictures displayed on this website, I thought the colors were beige and dark brown. But instead, when it arrived, the color shows light gray and dark gray. Not really happy about it. Other than that, it fits well.

The vest material was fine but the zipper had a spot the snagged when zipping up, but not zipping down.

Thin & wrinkly material, shapeless cut, assumes I have a 50" waist (I don't).

The zip had over a dozen loose threads. There was a permanent crease on the back where it was folded

Quality of the workmanship was not up to standard.

Just like ALL clothing people, This product has been cheapened to the point of making it borderline.....at best! I would pay extra for the quality 0f years gone by.

Zipper broke after a few months, under warranty, no problem. Paid to ship it back, got a new one sent to me for free, great. Zipper on new on broke after a few months. Paid for shipping again and sent it back. Received a new one for free, new zipper already jammed right out of the package, and I have to force the zipper past that hang-up-spot to unzip it. Not sure how long it will last before it breaks this time. Warranty is nice but I'm tired of paying for shipping and all the time packing, travel to the post office, etc. I'll just live with it until if/when it breaks.

Sent wrong color. I had to pay for return. End of discussion.

Not really the color that's on the picture came out to be more greener than I expected it to be. Really hoping it was that color on the picture because it was a nice color.

This company wants reviews on its products but I'm still waiting on mine. Suppose to be delivered the 15th & that was 4 days ago.

I have many Columbia fleece and this is way too big. I have gotten the same size in everything I have gotten and this is huge/ sucks I will never wear and lose money to return

The vest was advertised with the embroidered logo , but the product was received with the cheaper stitched on patch logo.
