Customer Reviews Columbia Icelandite TurboDown Jacket

I bought this jacket as a replacement for a previous Columbia coat that I loved, but my old one was missing the one absolutely clutch feature that I wanted. The hood cincher makes jacket the perfect piece for chilly and windy Chicago winters. It's warm, and allows for layers underneath for crazily blustery days. Excited to take it through a full winter.

Very warm. No jacket needed underneath it. It has many pockets. What more can you ask for.

The comfort and warmth of this jacket are unlike anything I've bought before. My mother-in-law took this jacket to frozen Denver in January and grinned every time she wore it. Style is not sacrificed for comfort though as she wears this to any occasion in the winter. The fleece neck lining is a perfect example of the great attention to detail in this jacket. Great value in an affordable jacket.

SUPER WARM. And I absolutely love the soft fabric on the neck and the olive green color. It is still a little big, but seems like it will be cozy and fit perfect after I add layers under. I also love that the sleeves! The belt is adjustable in the back, allowing you still seem like you have a waist

Love this winter coat. It looks great, not too bulky and it's super warm.

A year ago I purchased a Columbia thermal jacket for one of my trips and I loved it. I have taken it in a couple trips and it works perfect that I wanted to buy another one. I made the right decision as this one also works pretty good, the quality of the fabric is great, and it's a very stylish jacket. I bought a L since M was out of stock, but I don't mind the extra space as when traveling I always dress in layers. So I guess it fits to the size.

I received this coat just in time for our 26-36 degree snowy, icy winter weather here in the Portland, OR, area. I love this coat as it keeps me warm and dry., plenty of pockets, adjustable hood, and cuffs in sleeves to keep the wind out. I usually buy XL for the roominess but sometimes can be too big. This coat in a L is plenty roomy, comfortable. Now I just need comparable pants, and lightweight waterproof gloves for rainy weather.

Purchased this coat in preparation for a North East tour. The coat was perfect for walks around the city or hikes in the mountains. I had packed other coats but this one was my go-to, my new favorite.

This coat is amazing. Bought it onside, which was a bonus. Very warm without looking too bulky. The pockets are just the right size and the adjustable belt makes it so you can still be fashionable. I bought the chanti, which is really pretty.

I recently bought this coat and it was a tremendous bargain for a really great coat that provides incredible warmth but with a fairly light, not too bulky weight. I am 5'7" and 156 lbs and I bought both the Medium and Large, not knowing which one would fit. I kept the Medium. Thus, I had to check the box "Runs a Little Large" because according to the company's sz chart I should have been a large - but the coat in sz Lg was too big. Since there are no industry standards on clothing sizing, the company's size chart vs your own measurements are the only objective criteria we have. Thus I'm curious as to how other reviewers say "Slightly Small". I'm a full time Grandma and I like how I can just do just one snap for getting in and out of the car with the kids. The smooth exterior is nice because I feel the puffer-type coats make one look, well, puffy. You can adjust the velcro belt in back to slim the coat's lines a bit too. There are lots of roomy pockets and a nifty little pocket inside towards the top. The fur trim was a little messy on arrival but I think I'm going to have it replaced with real fur, which will dress it up. All in all, this is a great coat with versatility, comfort, and great looks. Lastly, I have lots of Columbia products and l love this company for its service and quality.

The length is perfect and doesn't let any cold air in. The Omni-heat layer inside is very effective, I can feel my heat being reflected back at me. The color is a lovely creamy white and the fabric is surprisingly stain resistant; I've already spilled coffee and chocolate on it with no ill effects! The only complaint I have is that the velcro on the belt in the back meant to cinch the waist does not cover the entire belt and I am not able to cinch it to my liking. Otherwise, it's a quintessential winter jacket, cute and warm!

In Alabama, we have mild winters compared to the north but cold weather chills me to the bone - just plain hurts my feelings! My husband got me this coat for Christmas and I've had the pleasure of wearing it once and was so impressed at how warm it really is. This will at least make winter more pleasant for me. Also, the quality is superb as is the attention to detail. I couldn't be more pleased!

I found this coat to be perfect in our recent cold snap. It is warm and comfortable in below zero weather with just a sweater underneath. The collar is lined with a warm soft material and the hood is warm. Zip it up and all you need are gloves for your hands. The cut and the belt across the back is flattering and nice to wear to my office job. I ordered it in the Pond color. This is the first coat I have purchased for myself in a long time and it even has a silver lining!

I got this jacket for the cold Montana winters, I think it is going to be perfect. I usually wear a small or medium so I got a medium incase I wanted to layer under the jacket. It does seem a little large to me but there is an adjustable belt on the back so that makes it look a little more form fitting. I often have a hard time finding long enough sleeves because I have long arms but this jacket fits well. Overall I am very happy with my first Columbia purchase.

This coat is perfect! The reflective layer inside allows me to wear a t shirt when it's 30 degrees. It's a little "puffy," but great for weather the is 20-30s. (It doesn't get cold than that where I live.) Also it is long enough to keep my upper legs warm. I am 5'6 150lbs, athletic build. I usually wear a size 8. The medium fit well and allowed for a heavy sweater to be worn underneath.

I knew to order a size up from my regular size from the previous reviews. The coat fits like I want it. Love the color, hood, fur, and everything else about this jacket.

I live in Wyoming where the wind blows constantly. This coat is the perfect length as it falls just shy of my knees, and, it provides perfect insulation to combat the cold and the wind. I wore it the other day when it was -28 degrees with the wind chill. No complaints! I am so happy that I made this purchase. In did go up one size, from a medium to a large because I like to have extra room for layers of clothing.

The best of all worlds; warm AND stylish. Mine's been tested in -5 degree weather, with wind, and I stayed toasty warm. The high tech lining works exactly as promised, no hype. The Chianti is a beautiful, deep, rich red that's a little darker than the picture. I've received numerous compliments. My only request would be a detachable hood for warmer days.

Its -25 in Minnesota today and Im cozy warm...love the color and style!

I returned the coat only because the color was not what I though it would be. I loved it except for the color did not look good on me

I wore this coat on a day when the temperature was 0 degrees and I was nice and toasty.

I moved to Michigan from Florida. This coat keeps me nice and warm. No issues with wind or cold cutting through the material. I love this coat!

Love this Coat! I am ALWAYS cold, but this jacket actually does the job! I don't have to sacrifice fashion to stay warm. I can feel confident. It has feminine lines and a belt in the back to hug my curves. I'm 5'4" 135lbs and got a medium. It fits fine! I got the red one the color looks like the picture.

I liked the multiple pockets to store my stuff. Love the color and most of all, it will keep me warm from the harsh cold winter where we live.

My wife loves this winter coat, the omni heat is tremendous. Very welcome for someone who has had 2 neck fusion surgeries in past 3 years. The coat runs a size small so be aware!
