Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket

I got the XL to make sure I could wear a sweater comfortably underneath without the coat looking too bulky. It fits well, lightweight and the fabric inside the hood is cozy. The zipper was a bit tricky, you just have to make sure the bottom pull is all the way down to the bottom and there are no problems zipping it up.

I love this coat... once I finally get it on! Seriously, what’s with the zipper? It’s very hard to line the 2 up. I don’t understand the need to zip it up from the bottom. It fits really nice and is not bulky while still keeping you warm. I’m 5’4” and it hits right at my knee

This jacket is mostly great; it's lightweight yet warm enough for Oregon's not-too-cold winters. The pockets are a little low, but that's only slightly annoying. The real drawback to this jacket, as others have mentioned, is the miserable zipper. I can only recommend this jacket if you don't mind having to struggle with the zipper for a minute or two every time you try to zip it up. I'm keeping it because I need a jacket now and it's good enough despite the zipper issue.

I have purchased a few iterations of this jacket over the years; and the zippers are always the first thing to go. It is so frustrating to have a great jacket that you can't enjoy because the zipper breaks within the first month or two of wear. Columbia, please find a new source for zippers!!!

I ordered my first Columbia coat, I wear a medium in everything I own, this coat I think, runs very small. My medium fit like a small, very tight in chest and arms. I am 5'11" and wear size 6/8. I could only wear a thin shirt underneath this and I live in Maine and wear thicker shirts on the daily in the winter. Size up if you plan on wearing anything warm underneath. Despite the sizing, it's a perfect everyday coat!

I bought this coat after retiring another Columbia coat after 10 years of faithful use. This new coat is wonderful! It is cute, slimming, lightweight, warm, and love the features. I am considering buying another one in a different color because I love it so much!

I do like the style and the length. Because it was too big on me, it was bulky and oversized. I had a hard time with engaging and pulling up the zipper - tried it like 3 times over a period of about 15 minutes just to be sure. Should zip like butter!

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.

I bought this a month ago and I am glad that I did. I hate being COLD! I wanted a light weight coat that keeps me warm while I walk my dog this fall/winter and while I watch my son run in cross-country meets. This coat is perfect! I can walk my dog in 30 degrees with a t-shirt on and be warm. Its great! Also, this coat has HUGE warm pockets for gloves, doggy bags, cell phone etc. The only downfall is the zipper. It is annoying.

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!

I really like the comfort of this jacket, the style, and the fit. However, it is not a winter jacket. I have been freezing cold on two separate occasions just wearing to a Friday night football game when the temp was in the low 30's-high 20's. So perhaps it is a warm jacket for the daytime?

I am 5'5", 130 pounds, small chest, and Medium is a perfect fit. I bought the short version of this jacket 4 or 5 years ago, and I've always loved it! The only issue I have with this current one is that the zipper quality is way lower than the jacket I bought earlier. It jams up and is very frustrating to use. However, that said, after spending a lot of time experimenting with it, I finally figured out how to hold it just right to get it to work smoothly most of the time. I'm willing to put up with this problem, because everything else about this jacket is great. It's lightweight, warm, great for layering underneath, and true to size on their measurement charts. The spruce color is a very nice dark green. The cut of the jacket is very flattering. The hood doesn't have adjustments, which is another significant drawback for me, as my head size is small, and hats always come down to my nose. But even with my small head size, I can at least turn back the fleece edges and make it stay up. Overall, I'm happy with this item, and I can usually never buy clothing online because of fit. This jacket works.

I wanted to like this jacket and have it work for me, but it just didn't happen. I had to exchange for a smaller size because the first jacket was huge across the shoulders, bust and arms. The smaller size fit a bit better but it was still roomy for heavy layers underneath. The zipper is horrible! I thought it would 'work-in' after a few wears but instead it is almost impossible to use. Only benefit for me was the warmth.

Fits beautifully, very comfortable and warm. I really like that the cuffs come down and fit over my thumb like a glove. I'.m very happy with this coat

I purchased this through a different site to replace a similar-length, similar weight down coat that I'd had for over a decade and finally fell apart. This coat was not an equivalent replacement. The quality of the coat is fine, except the zipper is kind of a pain. But I've field tested it in our chilly Northeast fall, and it's not that warm, I think because it's so darn loose in the torso. The sleeves fit ok, but the body of the coat leaves A LOT of room around my core (I'm 5'4", 130lbs and bought an XS.) The disparity in size/fit between the arms and torso (arms narrow/torso loose) actually makes layering under it a little difficult. It's a serviceable fall/spring jacket, but it's not the awesome, go-to, holds-up-to-crazy-New-England-winter coat I was hoping for.

I love this jacket. I get very cold in the winter and this jacket keeps my body temperature balanced out. I do no get to hot or to cold.

Love the lightweight feel. Perfect for chilly mornings here in Austin, TX walking the dog!

I love this coat! Great length, love the wrist cuff with thumb holes and the fact that there is a hood. My only struggle was deciding between the large vs. XL. I'm fairly tall (5'10") with broad shoulders and the XL fit better in the shoulders with a better sleeve length for me, but the large fit better in the body. I ended up going with the XL for better movement and layering options. I really dislike being cold and I'm a fan of the Columbia Omniheat line so I think this will be a great winter coat for me. As always, Zappos customer service and return policy keeps me coming back. Living in a rural area with VERY limited shopping options to begin with (then tossing in a plague for good measure), I so appreciate their commitment to general awesomeness that hasn't waivered despite the circumstances.

I bought this in time for the cold weather and I'm so glad I did. I really love it! It's really cozy and the fit is great. (I bought a Small; I'm usually a 4 - 6.) Olive green is a little greener than shown in the photo, but definitely olive and very pretty. I also like the thumb-hole cuffs a lot. The length is perfect--great coverage, without hampering movement. I highly recommend it.

I am happy with the coat but was really looking for something that would keep me warmer in below 0 weather.

Good choice for winter... mode and nice... i advice for cold weather condition...

Great coat but terrible zipper. The coat is not bulky but still very warm. The worst is trying to get the zipper to work easily. It sticks when getting it started and sticks in the same place when taking it off. I'd send it back but it's already cold here and I like the fit and style of the jacket too much to be without it.

I'm 5'7" 119 lbs and got a small, though I usually wear an extra small. I wanted room for layering, and there's plenty of it. We've had a couple mornings in the upper 20's and the coat kept me very warm, even without layering. And I like the cuffs with the thumb hole. My only complaint is that I have to fiddle with the zipper a little before I'm able to zip it.

This is my first order from Zappos and all went well. The Columbia long jacket I received is just what I wanted. This is my third Columbia jacket, all with Omniheat, making it so warm and lightweight. I wear them all through our Duluth MN winters.

This is a great jacket. It's long enough to cover bottom and upper thighs, with a flattering cut waist. It's cozy without being suffocating.
