Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket

This is a really nice coat, especially for someone who is allergic to real down. It fits well with enough room for a thick sweater or sweatshirt (5'3" and 150 lbs and I got a medium). I really like the thumb holes to keep the sleeves down. The hood is cozy and stays in place when it is windy. It's great in light rain, and it stops the wind. It is, however, not thick enough to be a deep winter coat. I don't think it will be warm enough for days below 30 degrees, especially when spending a lot of time outside. I was actually a little surprised by how thin it is. It's a good fall / early winter or spring coat.

I bought this coat in the purple and it's beautiful. It's slimming and very comfy. However, I wore it to walk my dog at 31 degrees and I was cold. It's thin, and I'll definitely have to wear layers. That being said, I have big arms and the sleeves may not accommodate thick layers. It's okay for fall/spring but I'll have to keep looking for a winter coat.

In comparison to the Lake 22 Long Hooded Jacket (advertised as a down jacket in its specs), this Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket is better for me. It is thin and lightweight like the Lake 22 but UNLIKE the Lake 22, it generates more heat for me and I can actually feel the thickness of the material, both by touch and by wear. The Heavenly's "omni heat" feature I think is the difference-maker. For me, the fit is better than the Lake 22 as well...more form-fitting for my shape. Just needs a drawstring and it would be perfect. That is the general gripe I have with the Columbia down/insulated jackets I've purchased so far...they do not include drawstrings at the waist. For me, it should be a standard feature for down/insulated coats and jackets. (I find that many other reviewers feel the same way.) I'm not sure what Columbia has against the drawstring but it would be great if they included it in more of their products. I purchased the Women's Snow Eclipse short jacket last year (they don't seem to offer it this year but they have the long length version). It's nice and warm but cold air still sometimes gets in from under with no drawstring, even with extra layers underneath. If the long Women's Snow Eclipse had a drawstring and the color I wanted (purple), I probably would have purchased it instead of the Heavenly or the Lake 22 but I'm happy with the Heavenly for now. Obviously, I am returning the Lake 22 jacket.

I love the jacket overall, but the sleeves are a little short.

Runs small, but great jacket

Love this lightweight and warm jacket. It runs a little on the snug size. I'm a size 6/8, 145lb, 5'7 and went for the medium so I could fit another layer underneath. I love the fitted look and function. Only complaint is the side pockets are not deep enough, and my phone falls out if the pocket is not zipped.

I purchased an XS in deep rust. The color is really nice - not too bright, but seems to stain fairly easily. Otherwise, this coat is perfect. I haven't used it in extremely cold weather yet, but it seems warm and looks really nice. It definitely runs large. I am 5'3 and about 122 lbs and almost never wear an XS. I purchased the S first and it was so large and unflattering that I decided to return it. The XS fits perfectly.

This jacket is very light yet warm. The hood is a great feature. Great fit. The one little problem is the hard-to-engage zipper.

It was just too big, but very pretty.

It is nice and long for a person who is use to short coats this is a good item to stared out with , lovely in the inside

I love the look of this coat - it's exactly how I want to look in the winter. A hood, monkey thumb sleeves, and long enough to cover my torso and thighs. I'm 5'4 and about 150 lbs and the small fits well. I am looking forward to testing how item it keeps me in winter - it's very thin but other reviews I read said it keeps warm without bulkinesw.

I am 5"5, 116 lbs and ordered the size small. It is unflatteringly large. Has about 3 inches to spare in the hips, so will try the XS. Otherwise it seems really nice!

This jacket has a fantastic style that I love; however, I have some concerns. The material struggles to withstand rain. When I was out walking my dog in the snow, I could feel the dampness soaking through. You cannot advertise it as rain-repellent because it is not. Additionally, it is prone to ripping quite easily. My jacket has also loosened significantly with wear. Given the price point, it does keep you warm if no rain or snow is falling on you. I am very disappointed because it was so expensive.

Great jacket, warm and light, nice style. Customer service is excellent . This is my very first buy but will definitely consider buying again .

Love this jacket, just replaced my black one after the zipper broke, Ive had it for years. Also have the cream colored one. Very warm & lightweight.

The color is beautiful but this coat stains so easily. It did not make it through one winter season due to unwashable stains.

Columbia has the worst online store. They never delivered my order and did not accept responsibility to refund my missing order!

Kind of disappointed, I was looking for a WARM winter coat. I like the color, fit, and especially the fuzzy lining of the hood, but overall this jacket is not that warm. Maybe you need to produce more body heat for that reflective lining to work well? I am perpetually cold in the winter and have poor circulation. I feel like the cold air goes right through the fabric and I am freezing cold within a couple of minutes. There is very little actual insulation in this coat. I would gladly trade a little more weight for more warmth.

I bought this 2 months ago. The black color has completely came off in several spots. There is a huge white spot on the chest from the black rubbing off. Maybe I got a faulty one but its only been washed on delicate once and it came out fine. I had this same coat for many years and bought another because I liked it so much. Very dissatisfied in it and customer service as well. I should not have to pay to ship something back that is clearly defective. I also should get an immediate replacement instead of having to wait up to 4 weeks

Love this jacket! It is so very warm but very lightweight. Great for packing for trips. It kept me very warm on several cold, windy December days/nights in NYC. We walked over 20,000 steps a day outside.

I was so excited to get this jacket. I could finally afford what I thought was a great winter coat. This is the worst coat I have ever owned, and I am 65 yrs olf. I am freezing in this coat even at 32 degrees. wind goes right thru it. I thought that the omni heat would be great. I do not recommend this coat if you need to be outside in less than 40 degrees. I will never spend this much money on a Columbia jacket again. I was warmer last year in a $30 coat I got from Costco.

Great coat, layered with a vest it is comfortable in 30 to 40F degree temperature. I'm 5'3" at 140 lbs and I got the large - it's a little loose with tights and tshirt, but perfect for layering with a vest and jeans. I'm normally a medium and even have a small Columbia ski jacket. I love the weight, the hand warmers, the length and the double zipper for sitting. The medium fit a little too tight when wearing warm clothes. I've had down coats in the past and they are good for under freezing weather. This was just perfect for my North Carolina weather, and when I hit the snow I'll layer more.

I purchased this jacket about 6-8 years ago! It is my constant go to jacket. Worn so much. I just got another compliment for it. I love the length especially with leggings. Nice and warm.

Medium fits very small. Usually wear a small or medium and this medium will not even zip. Size up. Jacket is very pretty and color is gorgeous. Tried to return for larger size and they would not match original price despite telling me they would at start of return process. Also had to pay $6 for a return label.

I should have read reviews before purchasing. Jacket came out of the wash with lots of stains on it. Almost look like grease stains, washed it twice but makes it worse. I am so disappointed, I really need a jacket and dont want to have to wait 4 weeks for a refund.
