Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas; she loved it ! My daughter in law also has the coat.

I bought this for walking the dogs in the Chicago winters. It is the perfect length and the Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining keeps me warm. I also like the comfort cuffs with thumb holes. They help keep my hands warm and wind does not blow up the sleeves.

I wanted a light but warm insulated jacket for camping. I generally camp from February to November in the PNW and was hoping this would be warm enough. The fact that it is moisture resistant in our rainy climate was another bonus. This jacket is beautifully light and comfortable. I love the fleece in the hood. I enjoy wearing it and have been wearing it out to the store and to walk the dog. I find it stylish and feminine, and I don't walk around feeling like the Michelin Man. As a person who has trouble buying any other color but black and grey, this Plum color is a beautiful dark purple and doesn't reach too much out of my comfort zone. I am 5'3" and about 115 lbs. I bought an XS and it seems about right. I could still wear a sweater under it no problem, and the length is good on me. Long but not too long. The only issue I find is that the sleeves are way to long on it. Way to long. I know I am on the shorter side and have shorter arms. But I am considering hemming them an inch and a half at least to make this jacket more wearable. That seems excessive for an extra small for the average person. Also, I do find it warm enough to walk the dog a short distant in say 45 degree weather, but I do think that for any long periods of time outside in it I am probably going to have to layer fleece or something else underneath it. It definitely won't do on it's own in the winter on cooler days for anything more than car errands and shorter dog walks. Overall I am thrilled with this jacket and will probably consider buy it in black as well so I can wear it with everything.

This jacket is lightweight and warm. I especially love the full length, covering my rear. The only feature I would add if I could would be a way to snap or tie it up when zipping is more than what's needed.

I felt great in this jacket from the first moment I slipped it on- and immediately had requests from my two daughters to borrow it. Had planned to buy them their own but it sold out in our size- which has led to my only complaint about this garment (not always available for me when I want it!). I was able to buy in other sizes for my niece and and my mother-in-law. They are both crazy about this jacket too.

I got this in Nocturnal (dark blue color), which is a beautiful color that goes with many things. I was contemplating to keep this jacket or not because I wasn't sure if it would be warm enough for our MN super cold winter. I've been looking for down alternative jacket and love that this one is lightweight, has thumbholes, two-way zippers, hood (lined with soft comfy materials), the length goes down to mid-thigh and it makes me looks slim and not puffy. I tested it out in different temperature in the 30s, 20s and finally this week we are below 0 with a windchill of -16 here in MN. This jacket is surprisingly warm considering I only wear a regular crew neck long sleeve inside without another layering. I zipped up all the way to cover my neck and went out to walk around on our driveway. The wind was blowing, but I felt decently warm. I decided to keep it! It's a great price with a great style. For reference, I'm 5'3" 113# and XS fits perfect with room for a fleece sweater if I need to. The arms a slightly longer, but in a way it's a good thing.

I Bought it for a friend who wanted exactly the same she had.

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.

I like the color and design so nice! It's very warmly when I go out and very comfortable!

I wear a small in everything from Columbia, except this jacket. I wanted a jacket that was functional and didn't look bulky so I ordered my usual size. The Omni tech means a billion layers aren't necessary, which is awesome! I'm bummed I didn't sit in it or cross my arms when trying it on. It's snug in the shoulders and arms with just a light top under it.

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!

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas 2018. She goes to college in Northeastern Pennsylvania where it is very cold and usually raining or snowing all winter. I purchase a medium so that she would have room for sweaters under the jacket. She loves this coat. It's very warm and the Truffle color goes with everything. The interior of coat has a shinny, metallic material. We call it the microwave jacket! I ended up purchasing a second coat for my other daughter who lives in Brooklyn and has a long walk to and from the subway. She also loves it!

I love this jacket it's very light weight, but very very warm an fits perfect! It has alittle give also so you have wiggle room! Everyone should have one !

Great jacket. Warm and true to size.

Absolutely love this coat! Overall, I feel like it's a little roomier than most other Columbia's I own, and being XL this is a major plus. Also, the fleece lined hood is soo cozy, love this feature. Please make this in black, Columbia? Highly recommend!

This coat was everything as advertised, but I was debating on what size to get. I read the reviews and based on women who posted reviews that were a similar size to me, I went with a medium. The jacket was too big in the mid-section. I understand the reason that people want to layer underneath, but you wouldn't have to layer underneath if it fit tight to your body and held in your body heat. I am 5'7" and weigh 145 pounds. I needed a small in this jacket and when I went to re-order in that size, Columbia was all out.

This jacket is great it is high quality and looks beautiful. It is a very lightweight jacket, however, it is a bit thin for harsh weather. I think that it would not be warm for below 40 F. Other than that I love the comfort cuffs with thumbholes and the zipper is good quality. Also, I love the omniheat technology and I love the way that pockets are very large. I am 165 pounds and 5'6 tall and I have 45.3 inch hips (which are larger than my upper body) and the fit was great, I can say it is even a bit large so you can layer up.) Overall it is a very good product to use before or after harsh winter conditions.

Love this the Omni heat is the best idea ever Columbia has put into their products. Just wish it was a little longer but other than that wouldn't change a thing.

I love the cut and style of this coat! Its lightweight and provides decent warmth in cold weather. I also like that it has a hood that is lined with furry soft material. The pockets zip close and there is a nice little hidden inner pocket to store a wallet or whatever other small item you might need to carry.

This jacket fits great and is warmer for our cold winters. It wouldn't keep me warm on our coldest days, but is great for 10-20 degrees with layers. I suggest sizing up if you intend to wear over multiple layers

The jacket fits nicely. I'm 5'5" 128 lbs. I would normally order a small but wanted room for layering clothes so the medium was perfect for that. (Without layers I would want a small.) Bought for a trip to NYC at Christmas and it kept me warm!

I like how this coat keeps me warm but isn't super puffy. It seems like good quality so far after a few weeks. The sleeves are long enough for me (5'10") thanks to the thumb hole lining. The color of green is a nice olive, which is what I searched for. My only negative is the hood and zipper around the neck area. The hood seems too short to stay on my head, especially when my hair is in a bun. This seemed to be an issue with other Columbia coats, too. The zipper just kind of pokes my neck when it's all the way up. I purchased the coat on sale around Christmas, and I think it was a good purchase for the cost.

This is the first time I am so disappointed with a Columbia Brand Jacket . I always wash my clothing before wearing . But after the first wash , I noticed there are some grayish stains on the coat . I don't know if Zappos will accept my return . And besides , it's not thick enough for a 67 yo woman , I don't think I can wear it on windy and snowy days . Cheap quality product !

I just received this coat for Christmas. Initially I was in love- a nice length for me (5'2"), amazingly light in weight, and when I tried it inside it felt very warm and cozy without overheating. But then I stepped outside for a few mins for a test spin, and it felt like the wind went straight through it. It was only about 40 degrees with light/moderate wind. I need a coat that can handle much lower temps and higher winds in southeastern PA.

It is a great coat. keeps you very warm. But the zipper has not worked since I bought it.
