Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket

I love this jacket for so many reasons! One it's longer than most jackets so it gives an added layer. I really like this one compared to most other winter jackets.

I don't quite write review, but as soon as I tried it on, I fell in love with it! Absolutely LOVE it! I am 5'5" 120lb and size S fits me very well!

Just bought this jacket a month ago and its so light yet so warm.

This coat is so lightweight and has no bulk like most winter coats. I love the thumbholes too! I did go up a size just because I thought I may wear heavier sweaters, etc. under it. I haven't tested it in very low temps yet, but so far it seems to be surprisingly warm. I can't wait for the colder temps!!

The jacket has a comfortable fit and looks great. It is warmer than I'd expect a lightweight jacket to be but it is not warm enough for truly cold weather. I like that it is comfortable for driving and quick dashes across a parking lot carrying toddlers and grocery bags. It is not however warm for extended periods of time in weather below freezing. I'd hate to wait for the bus in this coat. I am cold and shivering if I need to walk more than a block or spend more than a few minutes outside in this jacket. If you need something lightweight and flexible and the temps in your area hover around freezing or above this is a great jacket. If you are looking for something to wear for subzero temps, keep looking.

I love this jacket but there is one huge problem: the sizes are so messed up!!! I normally wear a size L/10 in many brands and I ordered that size thinking it would be a perfect fit. No way. The jacket fits like a sausage casing. I tried it on with only a t-shirt and it was still very snug. It was super tight around the back chest area. I could feel it when breathing. I am able to zip it up and everything but I just can't do a tight jacket, especially since it's a winter coat. Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars. It's warm and I love the olive color, the built in hand covers and the fuzzy hood. It's also not bulky like other winter jackets in this style. It's so lightweight yet so nice and warm. I will definitely exchange it for an XL. Hopefully that size works! Plus size will most likely be too big for me. Columbia please make your regular sized jackets for a broader range of women's body sizes and shapes!

I LOVE this coat! I've worn it during the polar vortex in February 2019 and in the mild weather of fall and everything between. It's kept me perfectly warm. The length is perfect with a dress and with tall boots. I have the purple one and the color is beautiful. I can't say enough good things about this coat. It's my favorite. I couldn't wait to get it out when the weather got colder in October.

This coat is really cute on. The fit is perfect and well-tailored at the shoulders and the hood. The hood is a nice shape and stays on. The coat is thin and lightweight, but really warm which is exactly what I was looking for: easy to carry and packable. I think it is likely due to the lining. However, the lining is why I will be returning it. I unzipped the jacket to try it on and whoa. Surprise! It was lined with some kind of special thermal material that resembles emergency blankets. It's shiny, metallic, and looks gaudy. You can't miss it when you take off the coat and hand it over to coat check or hang it on the back of your chair. It's a pretty jacket, as long as you don't take it off. Also, may be a one off, but the zipper on this one wouldn't zip up.

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 love this coat! Living with mid-west weather I can wear this coat late fall to early spring and I am always warm. Super comfortable and very functional. I have two different colors now!

I bought this in a M and L because I was not sure what size would ultimately fit. I have a Columbia jacket already in L and it is PLENTY big. The M was way to tight. The L fit, but just barely over my chest. I am 5'3" 158 pounds with an hourglass figure (36G through the bust). I will not be able to wear anything bulky under this, but I do have my heavy duty SOREL to wear when it's REALLY cold here in Chicago. I wore this jacket for the first time today and it was 29 when I left the house and about 32 when I got down to the city. I was toasty warm walking from the train station to the office, for it being such a light jacket. I wanted something specifically for this type of weather, and it seems to fit the bill.

Bought this for my daughter. She loves it! She's 5'2", 112#, wears XS. Fits perfectly. Very flattering shape. The longer length is great - keeps her warm and dry. The thumb holes in the cuff are appreciated! I love it too, might get one for myself.

My daughter who's a college student loves this coat. It's easy to wear around campus and really keeps her warm. It's true to size for her, but when I tried on the one size larger for myself (which I typically wear) it was a little snug, but 2 sizes up was way to big. I think it's overall a little tappered or more slim. The sleeves/cuffs are really nice and love the lining. It's not puffy as well.

I am very pleased with my purchase. It's warm as soon as you put it on! The length is just right and I love the thumb holes. It's just what I need for this Michigan winter.

I have been stretching my 10+ year-old Lands' End winter coat's use for far too long after the zipper handle broke, then the zipper got increasingly more finicky with a tendency to catch on the fabric, making zipping into and out of my coat an exercise in frustration. Although my old coat still works when zipped, the zipper frayed my nerves, unfortunately. I replaced it with this Columbia coat and, although it doesn't have all of the cinching and extra pockets that my old coat has, it is remarkably lighter, very comfortable, fits well, and does a fine job of keeping me warm. I tested it yesterday by taking a walk in unseasonably cold Autumn weather. (We just had a very snowy Halloween in Chicagoland.) I bundled up with my scarf and gloves and put the hood on, but ended up getting warm enough after a few minutes to go without the hood and uncovered my face as well. I cannot get over how light the coat is. I'm used to the weight of my old coat. I really love the thumbholes that I have only seen on Columbia coats. I have a heavy duty Columbia coat as well, for our Polar Vortex winter days, as I take public transportation to work and also have a connective tissue disorder that leaves me cold when most folks are comfortable. However, on less extreme days, I want a lighter coat that can still keep me warm enough while also repelling wet weather without an umbrella. I am a little nervous that the thin outer material won't be able to take on a rainfall, but I will just have to trust that it will be as water resistant as Columbia claims it is. I will update once I have had a chance to test that feature. Overall, I'm happy with my new coat. It's got what I need, is a great length, zippers all work well, has enough pockets for my needs, and the hood stays on when zipped up to the top. Bonus that the price is not too steep for the quality.

Light yet warm, my only negative feedback is on the silver liner. A bit juvenile.

Already own this coat and love it so much, I bought another - in black. Perfect weight and warmth for Upstate NY Winters. Also, I have little closet space and these coats don't take up much space.

Awesome coat to even shovel snow in! Light weight and warm.

Warm, fashionable, soft and comfy. Love this!

This is a very nice coat. Love the purple color, it was called black cherry. It is thin, but very warm, not bulky at all. I have had some trouble with the zipper. I also like the cuffs at the end of the sleeve, you can slide your thumb in and keep the wind out. It helps keep your hands warm if you forgot your gloves. You can also wear your gloves over it. The omni dots really do keep you warm.

I would recommend this jacket, it keeps you warm off your own body heat, just wear layers!

Nice jacket. Cute cut, love the shiny interior. It’s good for wind and rain, but not suitable for temperatures that are sub-40. Even though I like the jacket, I gave just 3 stars for overall because it’s high priced for what you get.

Smart and modern looking, the snug fit is very complimentary and I love the technology yet so incredibly lightweight would be easy to think its not gonna be warm enough but just a few minutes cocooned inside that advanced technology should convince you! And I've got very high praise for the hood too, think Columbia did a really great design job. Is there a con somewhere? Well yes sorta. At first I struggled with the main zipper A LOT before figuring I'd being doing something wrong all along. He he, must be a boomer thing :)

I'm usually a medium or size 10 (5'4") but am a bit busty so after reading the previous reviews I ordered a large and it's perfect. It's roomy enough for layering but not so big that it looks oversized. The sleeve length is perfect. I've only worn it once because our weather hasn't been to cold but it was comfortable and kept me warm that one day.

Fine, I'll review it, even though I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep it. I love it, but it hits me right above the knee, not mid-thigh like it shows on the model. And also, like the next day after I ordered mine, it went on sale, almost $30 less than I paid for it. Thanks
