Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket

I like this jacket. It's warm in 40 degree weather (with a sweater underneath), nice length and well made. Columbia jackets tend to be narrow in the sleeves and shoulders so I had to size up. I'll just need to get out the sewing machine to take in the side seams at the waist for a more fitted look, deepen the pockets, and add a zipper pull tab that's easier to grasp.

From reading other reviews I chose to go up one size (I'm usually a medium and ordered a large). It fits great with room for layering. It's very lightweight, but warm. However, I have only tried it in 40 degree temps. I'm not sure how warm it will be below that for long periods of time, but I'm in the PNW so it should be good for most fall and winter. I'm 5'3" and it didn't seem too overly long even with a size large, but it does go to just above my knees.

I bought this coat in an XL though I typically wear a M/L as I decided this would be the perfect coat during my pregnancy. I definitely have room to grow and while it looks a bit dowdy as it's still a bit too big, it's lightweight while still being warm for Boston's early winter. If buying this coat normal, I would buy a large because I like to have a layer underneath. If you don't anticipate wanting to layer then a medium would likely work.

Great jacket. Originally had black but wanted another option so went back to buy this color. Super cute for the colder seasons.

The size fit great, it wasn’t too snug nor too big. The color is pretty and has a chic look to it.

I love the color (plum). I was afraid it would be really bright, but it's really pretty in person. This is my second heavenly coat from Columbia. It's perfect for a mild winter climate. The only thing I'm taking a star away for is that it is tight in the armpits.

Needed coat for in between weather, I have 2 heavy duty winter down coats but they look heavy duty. I wanted a warm coat but without the look and this is it. I'm counting on being able to get thru most of winter with this unless out shoveling snow or such. I took a chance on color, I alway buy black or a dark color, and this light green is a great color..can't wait to wear..definitely runs small!

If you're looking for a thick winter jacket, you need a thick double layer one. This is not super poofy so it's flattering and the omni heat does reflect your own body heat to keep you warm in this jacket. Good length but runs small. I'm 5'7 and am not a 2X in size but ordered up so it would fit for layers. I got the "light lichen" and the color is way different than in the photo ( more green than blue)

Ordered this and the Mighty Lite from another site and liked the Mighty Lite better. This coat seems a little heavier but there was too much fabric in the back for me, gave it a weird shape. Loved the olive green color, it looks more brown on my screen but is person it was nice. The light green was pretty, too. Overall a nice jacket, just not a good fit for me.

As all of Columbia garments, I find the fit tight and small so I have to size up

Overall it's pretty cozy. My one complaint is it weighs a lot compared to other coats in its class, but the fit is more stylish, the inner sleeve gaiters are nicer, and the fuzzy hood lining make it worth the weight. Comparable in warmth to my north face thermoball it is replacing, except the length makes it slightly warmer, and it definitely has nicer features than the thermoball, too.

The color is pretty and feels nice. The item which I have gotten has a bad zipper and takes a bit of effort to work. I made it work because there were a few pieces available and I really liked it.

I purchased the Women's Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket in blue. The jacket fits as expected. I like that it isn't overly bulky and has a defined waist without being tight. It is very warm in temperatures around 30-40 degrees. As other reviewers have mentioned it can take a little doing to get the zipper started. Overall though it's a great jacket and I recommend it.

Fits nice, love the color. The zipper can be a little challenging if you don't have it lined up perfectly right. I'm 5'0 and got an XS. Fits well in length. Still above my knees

Nice looking coat! Lightweight, but warm. Like the color and fit. But zipper is hard to start.

Beautiful color & well-made light-weight yet warm coat. Unfortunately it's not made for petite women. The XS fit in the shoulders but the torso length is just too long and bunched up around my middle like a potato. An average height or taller person would love this coat, or maybe if you're petite but have narrow hips perhaps. I wanted to love it, but it needed to either be cut for a petite or have a waist drawstring for some definition.

Fits perfectly, very comfortable and lite not heavy or bulky. Only problem is the zipper not easy to use , very hard to zip up quickly . Takes time to find the right angle , can be frustrating when your in a rush.

Pros: beautiful color, length is perfect (I'm 5'4, bought a medium), lightweight, I liked the thumb/hand covers. Cons: didn't feel very warm in 30-40 degrees, the main zipper is plastic and would easily take 4-5 tries to get it to zip up (this is the reason I returned it.

I love this jacket. The design and fit are great. The fit is true to size with enough room for some layering. The jacket is lighter weight so I do feel like I need a sweater under it during colder weather. The design of the jacket is beautiful and flattering. I have both the black and navy colors. The only trouble I've had is with the zipper. It usually takes a couple tries to zipper the jacket which can be frustrated. If it was not for the zipper issue this would be the perfect jacket.

Item keeps you warm, however the medium size ordered is cut bigger than the actual size.

Love this jacket! Fits perfectly. However I do fight with the zipper.

I have the older model of this great coat and decided after 5 plus years it was time to upgrade. This coat is my go to stay warm coat. I wear it camping in my sleeping bag, at soccer games. It is the perfect length as I am 5' 5" so it covers my upper legs. The hand warmer cuffs are awesome too. After wearing the new version a few weeks I am very happy with my purchase. Keep making great stuff Columbia!

I really like this jacket. Not too bulky, I can wear a thick sweater under it and don't feel like I'm suffocating. I just have one big annoyance: the zipper. I spend a good 5 minutes every time trying to get the thing zipped up. It still takes a while to get it off, but not as long as it takes for me to get it on. I don't know why it just doesn't want to zip. Love the color, the fleece hood and pockets. I originally got a large, but exchanged for a Medium. I'm 5'8" 149lbs. for reference.

Beautiful with nice lines. Not bulky but still warm enough for milder winter days. Zipper is supposed to be able to unzip from the bottom but that feature doesnt feel sturdy.

I received as gift. I love it due to its warmth, comfort, and love how light it is. The only flaw is the zipper. It is a very poor quality zipper considering the quality of the jacket. It takes considerable patience and tenacity to zip!
