Customer Reviews Columbia Big & Tall Alpine Action™ Jacket

Great fit, easy to maneuver about and keeps the heat in. Can't wait to try it in cold weather.

I am 6'4 215 and ordered the XL tall. Fits great and seems like a quality product.

We are going on a honeymoon in Alaska and bought this jacket for this reason. It rains a lot in NC so I've been using it while it's rainy and cold and I am so glad I made this purchase.

Great ski jacket! Wore it for 7 days on a recent Colorado ski trip with temps down to 0 degrees with 1 or 2 base layers and kept me plenty warm and dry. I am 6'6", 205 lbs, 37" sleeve and L TALL fit well with plenty of length in arms, though is not as streamlined a cut as some other Columbia jackets (ie., plenty of room for under layers). Jacket is long - drops below waist to largely cover your backside. Only minor issue is that it can get warm when you are active, and there are no vents - but unzipping high collar helps. Would definitely recommend! Replaced a Marmot jacket that cost 3 times as much, and is just as warm and length/fit much better. .

I love this jacket and it has been worth every penny. It's incredibly warm, waterproof, and amazingly light. When I first got it, I was worried that its lightness and thinness meant that it wouldn't be warm enough -- I misjudged it. I go boarding in it (just got back this evening and it was 5 degress F with 15mph winds -- I was nice and warm), play in the snow with it, and wear it around town. Love it.

My husband is 6'2" at 180lbs. wears a shirt size neck 17.5 and sleeve length 34/35, the Large Tall fit him just right. He is usually an athletic cut in clothing but a jacket rarely comes in an athletic cut. So, he took a chance on this jacket and was quite pleased that the sleeves were long enough and he was looking for a bit longer length...this jacket fit the bill. The jacket is lightweight yet is very warm. He would definitely recommend this jacket!

I chose this coat because it was offered in tall sizes, and was very happy to find it fits great. The large tall size is a good option for anyone around 6'4"/215 lbs. Sleeves are the perfect length and the jacket hangs down about 4" below the waist. The jacket is not bulky at all, but keeps you pretty warm in moderately cold weather, and does a good job keeping out wind. With a sweatshirt underneath, I find this coat keeps me comfortable from about 25 deg up to 45 deg (too warm beyond that). Below 25 deg, you'll probably want to layer a fleece jacket to stay warm enough.

Good quality. Nice warmth. Love the idea you can remove lining for warmer days

The quality comfort is impeccable love this jacket it's beyond my expectations

Looking for a warm coat for playing in the snow...this coat is perfect. Warm, easy to move in and not bulky. Love the option to get a tall size!

Warm. Great fit for layering. Sleeve length is perfect.

Very impressed with the quality and features of this jacket! It really seals out the cold and wind. I live in Minnesota and we experience extreme cold during the winter. This is my first jacket with Omni-Tech technology. I'm amazed at how warm it is without adding bulk to the jacket! Another great feature is the soft material that is used around the collar and wrists. It seals out the weather and is very comfortable at the contact points with your skin. I loved the jacket so much that I bought one for my son too!

As with everything Columbia produces this coat is absolutely fantastic! It fits my son who is almost 6 feet tall and most importantly has the correct arm length that almost never happens in coats. This product keeps him warm even when it is below zero outside and we are extremely happy with our purchase!

My husband is very happy with his new coat. fit is perfect (Large Tall) and arms plenty long enough. Shell appears very waterproof. also light weight, yet warm and comfortable. thank you Columbia!

Was looking for a warm but not bulky jacket for winter sports, skiing, snowmobiling, etc. and this turned out to be the perfect jacket! Fit well but was not bulky. Kept me very warm at 15-30 degrees. The sleeve fittings had an internal cuff which aided warmth and also kept the snow out as well. Overall a high quality jacket that I recommend highly.

I tried for months to find a winter coat that would fit a 6'7, fit man. Most of them were tenty around the waist while some were too narrow in the shoulders. I tok a chance on this one, and it's great!

I bought this for my son as a Christmas present in 2016 he still has it and it's still in great shape 3 years later I mean in still and it looks great I'm buying another one because he loved that 1 so much that he wants another 1 different style same company I highly recommend

I love the fit and feel. I've been out in 20 degree temps so far. High tech concept, hopefully it'll keep working as the temps drop!

I gave this jacket for a Christmas present and it fits a little big but looks gorgeous and keeps him very comfortable and warm.

There's no choice for PERFECT!!! My last Columbia coat lasted a quarter of a century. I expect this one will, too. The quality of everything on my new coat is exceptional. The Large Tall size has just enough room to layer up as required without left over space for air to intrude. I do a lot of walking with my dogs in winter winds with high gusts and very low wind chills. The coldest day so far was in the single digits and I was completely comfortable. Thanks Columbia!

I bought this coat about a week ago. Had a few days of some seriously gnarly snow squalls and frigid temperatures and i stayed warm and dry the whole time. The snow skirt was a plus! The fit was perfect!

As advertised. Warm, weatherproof and fits properly (and that's not easy for me!) Thank you, Columbia!

Without a doubt the best winter jacket I have owned. Outstanding fit and feel High quality construction Lots of pockets and pouches Sleeve cuffs are PERFECT Built in neck gaiter Go buy this Jacket!

Warm, breathable, comfortable and sporty-stylish. Wear it to work, to shovel the walk or out skiing. This winter wear is a keeper!

Going on my 3rd year with my alpine action. Put it on for the first time yesterday (11/29/19). The comfort and fit is incredible. Makes me actually like winter and like the cold. It definitely is in the Columbia Hall of Fame for me along with the Rain Tech II and my Top Pine jacket. The only thing really wrong with it I think is the neck is way too big. Even with multiple layers it still is large. I can fit my entire head through the top of it. I wish also the hood was insulated like my Top Pine is. Other than that it's perfect. It runs large which is great since the sleeves are so long.
