Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Heavenly Hooded Jacket

I absolutely love this jacket! I’m a size 16/18, 42DD and this jacket fits perfectly. My favorite part is the thumb holes in the sleeve. Our weather this past week has been in the upper 20s to lower 30s and this has kept me very warm. I love to pair it with my Columbia fleece jacket for extra warmth but it’s not necessary. Another plus is the high/low feature. I like that it covers my bottom. Very stylish and highly recommend for us plus-sized ladies!

I am a longtime fan of the 3 in 1 interchange jackets from Columbia but after gaining a little weight I found that I just couldn't get a good fit. I switched gears and decided to try the Heavenly jacket as it looked less bulky and had good reviews. This jacket is truly heavenly, it is very light and so comfortable that I had my doubts that it would be warm enough, my first outing with it was an all day outdoor event in 20 degree windy weather and I was surprisingly warm, as warm as my interchange jackets ever were and the fleece lined hood is a definite bonus. I am an apple shaped girl at 5'4" 200lbs and I ordered the 2x and 3x to find the best fit, the 2x is perfect with thermals and and a light sweater and the 3x is better over a heavy hooded sweatshirt. They are so flattering that I decided to keep them both! Thanks Columbia for such high quality, long lasting products.

I have NEVER had a decent coat that kept me warm and looked good. Being a plus size woman it is hard to find one that I completely love. This coat however, has become my most favorite. Not only does it keep me warm during the cold winter chicago weather, but it flatters the curvy shape. I LOVE it. And the elastic hand gaiters keep my hands warm when I'm not wearing gloves. Also the inside of the pockets are super warm. I love that it zips all the way up to cover my mouth and nose on super windy days. I would definitely recommend this coat. We also had 2 super rainy days when i had to go out and got a good downpour on me, and the coat did not feel wet. Where did the water go? my hair and glasses were drenched, but the coat was not. Super thin coat, that does an awesome job keeping me warm and dry.

True 2x sizing. This coat is lightweight and still warm. Not bulky at all. So soft thin fluffy interior hood lining and soft brushed cottony fabric inside the pockets. Cool thumb holes and all around styling. Totally diggin it so far. NY Winter solved. Pair it with Columbia snow boots and im all set to be cozy.

Perfect & flattering for a chesty size GG bust with being size 20-22 in most clothing. I'm 5'3", 260 and have flappy arm fat, big busted, and stomach fat but proportionate. Ordered 3x, usually wear 2x and 3x offers flappy arm space for easy mvmt. Can wear a cotton long sleeve or dry fit under coat with room to move and not feel confined. Puffy does not add extra fatness to my look. Chose navy blue color and in the 40's and no humidity here in louisiana, its perfect for my son & daughters baseball games. One is righty and other is a lefty baseball pitchers.

This is my 3rd plus-size jacket I have gotten from Columbia. They are comfortable and flattering. They give plenty of arm room! I also love the thumb sleeve!!!

I wanted a not bulky jacket for cold winter walks in Wisconsin. This does the trick. Fits over a couple base layers or even a hooded sweatshirt without making me look like the Michelin Man. Keeps me really warm.

I love this coat! It fits well, is lightweight yet oh so toasty. Even on the coldest Vermont nights!

A bought black cherry in a 2x. I am a Torrid/Target 2x and this fits true to size with some room to wear a bulky sweater or sweatshirt underneath. The sleeves are a perfect length and I LOVE the thumb holes. Nothing drives me crazier than sleeves that are too short. I am outside a lot with my dog every 4 hours or so and this jacket makes this a much more tolerable task here in Connecticut's winter. The length is perfect and the hood covers my head nicely. It is not a boxy jacket on me and it's lightweight so when I go shopping I am able to move around easier to keep an eye on my 5 year old. My only complaint is I didn't buy this jacket sooner. Well done! :)

I love my jacket and it came on time

I love this jacket. So warm and comfortable! Runs a little small, so I had to exchange for a size bigger so that I can wear sweaters or hoodies. I usually wear a 2x but it just fit over a thin shirt, the 3x was much roomier for layering or wearing a thick sweater. I love how it's thin but yet so warm. The navy blue is so pretty!

I bought this coat for everyday wear. My garage is 6 blocks from the office so I wanted a coat that was light weight but would keep me warm. I love the hood and also the front slanted zipper pockets. It's warm but if the temp falls below freezing I would recommend a different coat. The size runs a little small and I'm glad I ordered one size up. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Also, I love the navy blue color.

keeps your warm and is lightweight. with enough room if you would like to wear thin sweater underneath.

This is a light weight jacket that is VERY warm. I just wore it to the beach on a super windy winter day and my core was warm the entire time. The sun was out so I wore this Columbia because it is my in between freezing winter and just cold winter day jacket. I have a different Columbia for the deep cold. The only reason this gets 4 stars is that this no way to tighten the hood. The hood is lined with fleece which helps it stay in place (any is also cozy warm on your head and neck), but like I said, I go to the beach with it and since I live near the coast, wind is always an issue. Having a way to synch down the hood is helpful. The color is beautiful!!

This coat is nice and lightweight but warm and the sleeves are a good length for my long arms. The only suggestion I'd have for improvement is to put in a heavier two-way Zipper

This coat is super warm, not too bulky, and the color is great! The pictures make it look more brown then it is, definitely an olive green color. The fit is okay. Plenty of room in the arms and bust but runs a tad small in the hips. It still works but for sweaters and things underneath, an inch or two of space in the bodice would have been nice.

If your looking for size comparison; I am 5'2" 196#, my hips are 51", waist 41". I ordered a 2X going by the size chart, and the coat fit over my hips and butt as this type of coat should. Other areas it is a little big, long in the arms but not too bad no need to roll them up. Warmth; I don't spend a lot if time outside in our below zero weather, but the time I have been outside the coat is warm. I recommend long sleeve sweaters or shirts underneath if you're going to be out for an extended period of time in 20- 30 below zero weather. Quality: the side pockets are deep, the only inside pocket zipper is flimsy, so take extra care when using it. The size of the pocket is kind of small I have to stuff my checkbook in it and make sure it is zipped or else it will fall out. Bottom line; I would recommend this to a friend.

Its just as imagined, i love the lightweight warmth, the thumb holes ,the hood just in case too.

It's so fluffy! I love it. The color is amazing, the texture feels incredible against your skin and it warms you up pretty quickly. Plus, the material they use to save up your heat is super shiny and sparkle and it makes my inner child feel like a magical princess.

Great fit and color. My wife loves the jacket and is wearing it regularly.

Lightweight, comfortable and warm without being too hot

Warm and lightweight,could be a bit more water resistant but it will do for cool pre-spring months.

It took a while to arrive but I love the color! And the lined hood is nice

Absolutely love this jacket! Perfect color, comfortable and flexible. Keeps you warm but not bulky. The bonus is the thumb holes in the sleeves to prevent slipping.

I own this coat and it has started to show wear after years of wearing. I ordered another one just like it to replace it because I liked it so much. I do however have a problem with the shipping. It took three weeks to receive my order. As I watched it's movement it sat for a week in one place. Probably need to look at other shipping options.
