Customer Reviews Columbia Icelandite TurboDown Jacket

I have been searching for a stylish winter coat to keep me warm in the freezing cold Minnesota winters. Also something flattering, even though I wanted to be bundled up and warm. This coat is it! I compared this to similar other brands, and am so happy I bought the Columbia. Best value for the most warmth, functionality and style. This also has sealed pockets for my phone and keys, tissues and other extra things I find myself carrying in the winter. The additional hand-pockets are great too, so I am not warming my hands in the same pockets that carry all of my loot. I bought the Chalk (lighter white/grey) color and it stands out, and looks great!! The only comment to consider is size... I usually wear a Medium (130 lb's, 5'8" tall), but the Small fit me great and gave me the extra flattering look I wanted. The arms and length were still great too.

I bought this coat for cold nights at European Christmas markets, and for standing on the top deck of our Rhine river cruise ship during December. It's comfortable, has a nice shearling collar and plenty of handy pockets. The faux fur trim on the hood is a bit crushed and wonky --not sure how effective it will be (I'm glad that it's an optional/removable item). On sale, this seemed like an incredible value, and I'm pleased with the neutral cream color and fit, which allows for layers and is shapely in the back.

I like the color. Got a smaller size due to reviews and fit fine so far.

Great quality of winter jacket to keep you warm in the coldest months.

This coat is almost perfect. It is very warm and waterproof. The only problem is the hood. It is too shallow. If they made the hood a little deeper, it would be perfect. The color and fit are beautiful.

I purchased this coat to use for casual outings and hiking and walking in snow and frigid weather. I love how super warm this coat is, there are a couple things that prevent for me giving 5 stars, the cuffs are a little tight, the coat itself feels a little stiff and heavy.

Warm winter coat that i thought would be a good replacement for an old Marmut down cost. This one is great. Super warm, love all the pockets. The only minor negative thing i have to say is that the zipper can come up easily which my Marmut didn't do. Happy with this coat too keep me warm walking the dogs in MN winters.

Great pick for cold weather! Bought for my trip to Iceland this upcoming Fall after reading reviews as well as living in Michigan winters. Feels super warm and love the inside (water/windproof), the length, sleeves and detachable fur/that it not a "puffer". Only thing I don't "love" is that it collects hair really easily; I have corgis and their hair gets everywhere but that is not a huge deal and could be a big longer. Love a great sale as well. It zips up even with a hoodie underneath which I was nervous about due to it only going up to XL and me having a large bust.

Purchased this coat for my mother as a gift. It is extremely warm and fits well. We will be returning due to zipper not being easily zipped. If the materials were thicker at the beginning of zipper it would be much easier. It is a little tight in the shoulders and may need to size up

Extremely warm and good looking coat. I ordered the XS and S to see which was better. 5'2" 115-120 here. The XS was more flattering but was too tight in the shoulders and hips and it didn't leave much air space for insulation to actually keep me warm. the S is very long for a petite figure, with the waistline of the coat below my natural waist, but it also feels like being in a warm blanket and was noticeably warmer. The XS felt too small and the S felt too big, but I'm happy that I kept the S. It did well in 12-20 degree weather, I was warm as toast. its main advantage is how it insulates so don't be afraid to size up if you need, if it just seems too small. If I put it on inside, I start sweating within minutes. I'm not sure I'd buy this full price but it's a lot of cost for the reduced sale price, and it's a great product. I chose the white and it looks great - real arctic explorer vibes.

This is a really warm coat with good functionality. I am 5"4, 115 lbs, and size S fits all right, but slightly bulky and long to me. There is room to layer, but gets slightly tight under the arms. I love the sherpa-lined collar. The color basalt looks more brown in the picture, but actually has a purple hue in real. Good color.

The color of this jacket is big perfect light pink. I love that the Sofer lined hat trim is removable and it truly is a warm coat. The only comment I have is that the cinch in the back is Velcro and not able to be adjusted more than an inch or two. Ideally an adjustable style that is an Ideally an adjustable style that is a cinch belt would be more convenient for those in between sizes. I ordered I a size medium so I could have more layers underneath, but I could've comfortably worn a small.

I like this jacket, it's really warm and nice for the weather.

It's a very good jacket, warm, fits good, love the color and design, the only thing I don't like is the zipper , and you need a hat because it doesn't have anything to adjust to hoodie

I loved this jacket, especially the color Basalt, but returned it because the front part was shorter than the back and didn't keep my thighs warm. With such a warm jacket I doubt someone is going to run or do any activity, why this design? Please make this exact same parka look like a city commuter parka. Compared to the Apres Arson I liked this better because it was softer and more roomy in the chest area. For reference I am 5'9" and wear Large.

So I bought a size large even though I am typically a size medium. I have a 28 inch waist, height of 5'4, and 150 lbs weight. I bought a large to be able to layer with a sweater underneath and it was honestly the best decision. This jacket is so warm and so worth it! Being in Minnesota, the polar vortex just hit us with temperatures around the -20s (Fahrenheit btw), and this jacket and done wonders! I'm not the biggest fan of a fur hood but the fur is removable so that's a big plus for me. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is that it is longer than I expected it to be, which is not a downside but maybe this jacket would look more suitable for taller women. I could have looked at measurements but I am lazy haha, this jacket is definitely worth the money.

This jacket is very warm but the seams inside the arms are a little bit itchy. It might just be my sensitive skin and I get used to it pretty quick so I'll be keeping the jacket. I got a size up so I can wear my baby underneath for walks this winter.

Warm, but very tight fitting. I am 5'2 and 120 lbs and I purchased the Medium which is my normal size. It fit great on top, but there is no way to wear layers underneath. It is pretty snug and movement is very limited with it on. I would recommend sizing up.

Was a gift and was very well received. Had to exchange for a bigger size but over all good product

I'm 5'7", 130 lbs and got this jacket in a small size. Fit was great for the body but the collar was way too high to feel comfortable. Closed up it was over my chin. I wouldn't have described myself as having a short neck but this didn't feel comfortable. When open the collar didn't sit in a nice way, so it didn't work for me. Returning it.

Nice warm coat, can be fitted with the belt for a better feminine shape. I am worried about it getting dirty in the off-white/tan/putty color, but happy about the size and warmth. I bought another softshell last year in XXL and find it too big, so I got XL in this coat (even though my measurements are more like a 1X) and it fits. I will probably remove the fur edging, it feels outdated to me. The stitch quality is good vs. so many other brands now.

Very warm and heavy but didnt fit me in the shoulders and chest. Didnt have an xxl in black so I returned it and was unable to purchase in my correct size.

Very warm and nice quality overall, but I was disappointed that where each button is on the jacket, there is an indentation mark on the outside fabric. So the coat looks worn and somewhat dirty straight out of the package.

So far seems pretty good. Fabric seems strong. Not quite as warm as I expected but I like the style. Pretty color and easier to tie around my waist than previous jacket.

I am very pleased with this jacket. I live in Chicago and get cold easily and I am floored with how warm and dry it keeps me. Pockets are great, as is the little belt in the back. I'm not a huge fan of the hood as other reviews have stated. The strip of fur look cheap and out of place. The person that wrote that the jacket is loud? Not even a little. Def recommend for the price!
