Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket

This jacket fit perfectly! It fits slim as needed to keep me warm and loose enough to wear a sweater underneath. I really love the warmth without the bulk! I also love the black cherry color as it makes a great neutral without being black! You cant go wrong with getting this coat. I’m very happy with my purchase. Also loved the discount of 25.00 enabled me to be able to buy the coat. Customer service was wonderful to deal with when I had to exchange it for a different size. The one day shipping is fabulous!

Love, love, love this coat. I’m 5’6, 140lb, and the S fit like a glove. Love the soft fleece in the hood & thumb holes in sleeves. I live in NC so it’s seldom super cold, but planning to wear this to Europe later this month.

I bought this jacket in olive green and I love it! I used to own the "mighty lite" jacket which was similar to this but I like the new lining they put in the hood and the fit seems a little more flattering. I tried a few down jackets from another brand but feathers leaked everywhere so I decided to return to this non- down jacket and so glad I did, I love the lightness of the jacket yet very warm, the fit and length is perfect. LOVE IT!

Love this jacket! I have enough room to wear a sweater under it and the length is great for keeping my legs warm. The cuffs that go over the thumbs and hands work well to keep the wind and cold air from traveling up the sleeves.

I bought this jacket in August. I live in New London, CT and there was a Nor'Easter blowing through yesterday and a few times it was even raining sideways! I finally had the opportunity to wear my jacket. Oh boy, was it ever warm! I was wearing it when I went for a walk on the waterfront. The winds were so strong that I was getting pushed around. I wore my Heavenly zipped all the way up to my chin with the hood up. My hood NEVER got blown off my head and my ears never got cold (I have a very short pixie style haircut). Also, the hood is lined with this very soft, short-shag fleece. My hands were so warm because of comfort cuff with thumb holes while leaving my fingers free to operate my phone and camera with no frustration. Plus, my bum stayed nice and toasty because of the length. It's a thin jacket but the Omni-heat technology makes this it so warm! When I got back to my car, I shook the rain off my jacket and the outer material was dry. It was like I never wore it in the rain! The only drawback is the dual directional zipper. It takes some getting used to, figuring out the correct way to zip it without getting it misaligned. I absolutely recommend this jacket!

I love this coat. It’s a great length and nicely fitted. So lightweight and comfortable. It’s probably not right for a super cold climate but perfect for me in Northern AZ.

The size is good, i usually wear small but i bought a medium just in case... next time will get my size :) .. i love the jacket, very warm.

I have been hunting for a jacket that is down-free (thanks, allergies) but warm enough to handle a Minnesota winter. Love the Omni-heat lining, love the Olive green color. The hood lining is super soft and the cuffs are a nice touch. Excited to try it out!

Nice lightweight coat. Warm and comfortable. I got a size larger than I normally would wear to layer a fleece or hoodie underneath. It fits nicely except that the sleeves are very long. I have long arms and I will still need to tuck the sleeves up a bit so they aren't down over my fingers.

Cute fall jackets. The sz medium sleeve length is good and fits comfortably around the hips..but is tight in the shoulders..and I do not have large shoulders. The sz large sleeve length is also ok and shoulders are definitely more comfortable..but the hip area is much larger and looks kinda weird. Not sure which one to keep. I usually wear a sz 10..sometimes an 8. I don't think I could wear a thick sweater under the medium comfortably.

The jacket seems great, very lightweight, love the sporty style, however it is not for petite frames. I am 5'2" 105 lb, got XS - the waist sits lower where it needs to be, also too loose around waste, disproportionally to the rest of the jacket. The bottom hits just above knees, not like shown on a (tall) model which I kind of expected and am fine with. Returning.

Great coat and super warm. The zipper can be a bit touchy, but overall a great coat!

I like this coat a lot, but it has some deal-breakers for me. The hood does not have a mechanism for tightening, and so it falls down when it's windy. I also really don't like the tin-foil-like lining. Does it have to be that color? But it's a good-looking coat. I'm 5' 2", 125, and I ordered the medium, which fit great (not tight) over a big sweater. It came down to about 3 inches above my knee.

Ran large- wore to visit to Grand Canyon. It was in the 30s and windy and this coat kept me warm enough. I live in Midwest and it’s been comfortable at 0 degrees to 40 degrees. Style is not very flattering as it is on the straight boxy side. I wish there was just a small gather/cinch at the back that would indicate a waist/hourglass figure. But otherwise very comfy and packable which was my goal.

5'3" 115# and order XS in nocturnal (beautiful dark blue color). It fits perfectly with some room for layering. The fit is flattering (kinda semi-fitted). It has some of the features I'm looking for: thumbholes, two-way zippers, hood lined with soft fuzzy materials, chin guard, down alternative, lightweight and packable for travel. I tested it out in 30-degree weather with just wearing thick warm long sleeves and I didn't feel warm enough though. I normally don't have to layer with my other winter coat and feel warm. We live in MN and winter is mostly in single digit or minus here. I'm getting this to replace my North Face 600-fill down winter coat, which is super warm, but shedding feather like crazy! I guess this will not be a perfect replacement because it's simply not warm enough (at least that's how I feel). Perfect for those with mild winter. I really love the style and how flattering it looks though! If you don't have harsh winter where you are, definitely get this. Good price and features!

Got this in navy and it's so stylish as well as warm. I also have the shorter Heavenly jacket and they are both great. Just wish it had a draw string on the hood, but other than that, it's perfect!

The style is nice, but my shoulders feel cold in this jacket. I have a Morning Light II, which keeps my entire body warm even after six and half years. The sleeves on this Heavenly jacket are also a bit too long.

Trying it on, I was disappointed that this jacket (size Medium) runs small in the hip. This model seems designed for someone thinner and more active than me -- someone not pear-shaped. My online search for a Large size in the same style was unsuccessful, so I am returning the medium.

This was a great jacket. I read lots of reviews on jackets and finally decided to get this one just last winter. The double zipper was the one con I saw in the reviews. Mid winter the zipper got stuck a couple times and ended up breaking and now the jacket is not able to zip. I only had it for a winter and a half. Very disappointed.

The sizing is great and love hat it is long enough and covers your behind. Sadly I have to return this jacket it is not warm enough for the Midwest weather. It is thinly insulated and we live in Chicago where temperatures can drop to below zero degrees. definitely not a jacket to be worn in the winter. It is more of a Spring /Fall Jacket.

I had to return my coat. I would have happily kept it, but I found it impossible to get the zipper to work. I tried it in multiple sizes and each coat's zipper was impossible to use. It took me about 10 tries to get it to zip up, and I also had issues getting the zipper to pull apart at the bottom. Columbia, fix your zippers!

First tried a size LG (I'm 5'8", 135 lbs) but it was too big, even with a sweater underneath. Also, was nervous about the zipper given prior reviews but it seemed okay. Liked the styling (not bulky, somewhat streamlined, comfy-lined hood, arm extensions; not sure about the "omni-heat" shiny lining--would have to wear for a while to see how warm jacket is). Returned it for a MD which I think fit fine BUT could NOT get the zipper to engage properly/zip up even once. Back it went. Sadly, I really wanted to keep this jacket but there must be a quality control issue with the zipper -- pretty important!

This was a tough one...great price, the jacket fit perfectly and was exactly what i was hoping for...the fit was the most perfect of any coat I have tried all year...lots of shape, made me feel sexy...the downside...the silver foil looking lining....not cool Columbia...I'm super sad to send this back because I know that I could really use it. I just feel like as soon as I take it off and the world sees my foil interior, I will have lost all my cool...all of it....if it were a ski jacket, no prob...but, its more of an around town coat for me.

I loved the coat, but on both (had ordered two sizes), the zippers were very difficult to use. Had to be lined up very very carefully to be zipped up. Hated to reject them, but could see myself struggling with zipper constantly.
