Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboo™ II Fleece Interchange Jacket

Great looking coat. Comfortable and warm.

GOOD FOR HIKING IN RAINING DAYS!

Bought this jacket mainly because I didn't really have any jackets and since this one comes with two. It's very warm with both jackets on and the outer jacket is completely waterproof and pretty good with wind. Plus I really like the look of the fleece jacket. I have other rain coats but this color is a nice addition.

Based on the size chart and previous purchases, I opted to go for size "M" instead of "L". Overall the fit was very snug, but I had to return it mainly because the fit around the armpit was too tight (I had difficulty inserting my 2nd arm into the sleeve). Another minor issue: the fleece liner sleeves are a bit longer than the shell, so they tend to stick out maybe about 1/2". I will be ordering a "L" and hope it does not feel too baggy on me.

Perfect for cold winters and stays dry in rain and snow!

The jacket is warm for New York winters with the inner jacket. The jacket has really large front hand pockets and one breast pocket for small items. I'm 5'5" and I ordered a medium but it seems a bit bigger, it's somewhere between a medium and large. I really wish Columbia and The North face would put 2 layers in their hood, the regular outer material and perhaps a light thin warm fleece on the inside. Another thing I don't like about the jacket is that it attracts lint. It's not really noticeable but with careful inspection, you will see it.

I received this item and have been thoroughly pleased. It is very warm. It's only got down to 10F since I've had it but I played a round of disc golf in it and was hot by the end. I am sure it will be plenty warm even when it gets below 0F. I've worn it in the rain and it is totally water proof. The only downside is that the inner jacket needs to be able to cinch the sleeves tighter at the cuff. When I put the coat on, the inner fleece sleeve likes to pull out farther then the outer coat. This just requires them to be pulled back in and then they are fine. It is a minor inconvenience but worth noting.

Super warm jacket!!!!

Bought for my husband, he loves it. Not as warm as his other 3 in 1, because the inner fleece coat doesn't have the Omnishield, but he prefers it that way as he runs hot. Gave 4 stars because of the sleeves. As other reviews have noted, the inner coat sleeve hangs about 2 inches below the outer sleeve unless the cuff is cinched . Husband doesn't mind, but I don't think it's a good look.

Purchased as a gift for my son. He says it's warm and likes that he can remove the outer jacket if he gets warm.

2 things, the zipper could be a heavier quality and the fleece does not adhere to the inside sleeve of the shell and is irritating for me to constantly adjust. returning product only because of the lining feeling bunched up and constantly having to adjust and XL was too big for me. only wore for a total of 5mins but, it was enough to know it would bother me. otherwise nice coat, very warm

Wanted it to ride a horse bit it was too tight at the very bottom to sit in a saddle comfortably

Good jacket. I've had a previous Columbia ski jacket with zip out liner for about 25 years. Great performance and versatility. I wish the new jacket also had inside zip pockets for secure holding of keys and suck.

The fleece insert layer sleeves slide through the outer jacket so the cuffs are visible. Wish they were held in place some way, it would eliminate adjustment of the fleece inside.

Nice design for the jacket, and well-made. Materials are nice, and it kept me warm on a chilly night recently. I love the Interchange feature, allowing me to swap liners or remove the liner for a thinner shell or warm fleece. One thing I ran into, though, was that I typically wear a large. And the large size in this jacket ran quite large on me. I also ordered the Summit Crest III jacket in a large size, and that one was a much better fit. I then returned the Bugaboo for a medium size, and that's a little snug, but a better fit than the large. So, just be aware that sizing may vary a bit. Not sure if I got a mis-labeled XL, but the large ran big on me.

The 3 in 1 is the way to go! Having options when skiing is just what you need. I tend to run on the warmer side so often all I want to wear is a shell. But having the ability to zip in a fleece is definitely a perk. The pockets and the length are just right. Holding everything I need. The only thing I would change is to have more options to choose from for the inside fleece. While I wasn't buying it to have a fleece to wear on its own, I am not crazy about the color or pattern of this particular inside fleece. It would be amazing if I could pick the shell color then pick the inside fleece or puffer option. More a la carte. Typically I have to buy XL for shirts and jackets because I have broad shoulders and I was please to see the Large fit me just right. On a side note my wife is on the tall side and wishes she bought one of these for herself instead of the woman's size. The men's would be the perfect length for a woman who typically orders Tall Size when available.

Like the coat but the sleeves of the removable fleece lining are much too long and hang below the cuff of the coat by about 2 inches. I had to hem them to avoid the issue.

Imy friend is short and the size is a bit larger. But it's ok for him. Good jacket!

I purchased this because my previous jacket (not Columbia brand) broke. I ordered this one because I like the 3 in 1 type jackets, that way if I get too warm I can take a layer off. Order the size based on what your T-shirt size is. I am 5'10" and 150lbs and very skinny/lanky and the medium worked best for me. Jacket has kept me warm while I was out fixing my car in 20 degree weather.

I love how it is light in weight, waterproof, & windproof. I wish there were more pocket and the inside fleece was thicker. This interchange jacket is good for the fall and spring, but it doesn't really keep you warm during those cold 25 degree and below days.

Was small for a Medium, however, the sleeves were very long.

The Jacket is good. I think it works for -20 C condition. There are plenty of pockets. The fleece fabric is comfortable. I ordered Large, it fits well but the sleeves are a little bit long, and that's the only issue with this jacket. If I ordered Medium it was a little bit tight for me.

Jacket arrived on time/as scheduled. I wear a medium in all of my other clothes. This jacket fit perfectly except for the sleeves. They are at least 4 inches too long. Otherwise, good quality and function.

Quality: great Windproof: very good Waterproof: very good Freezing conditions: Must wear additional thermal insulation clothes. Mild cold: Excellent

I purchased this jacket for my husband. The fleece jacket inside shell sleeves come out at cuffs they peek out and when hes putting his hand through even though its snapped inside to shell it slips out and that annoys him to no end, And he said that the fleece clings to his shirts. I think the liner is not the quality of the one with his other Columbia jacket. I watched him struggle with the sleeve and it was annoying to me because its definitely a flaw, its as if snap and loop that keeps liner sleeve fastened is sewn to high vs is other columbia jacket. Other than that he likes the style .
