Customer Reviews Columbia Big & Tall Bugaboo™ II Fleece Interchange Jacket

I purchased this jacket for my husband for Christmas and gosh, he loves it! His prior jacket was not well insulated and this one keeps him warm even for prolonged periods outside. The cold we have now have been a huge test of keeping the cold away and the jacket passed. I was delighted this jacket came in big & tall sizes as he has long arms and prefers longer jackets. Thanks, Columbia!

A coat that isn't too bulky, keeps me warm and can handle Chicago's sometimes sub-zero cold. This Columbia coat I bought checks all the boxes.

Chicago in December for my welcome home family trip? Yes please! That's what my son said when he was still in South America dreaming of deep dish pizza. But after two years in tropical weather he freaked once he read the weather report two weeks before Chi Town. When he tried on this coat his worries melted! It held up great on the trip and it's a necessity for him to survive Ohio winters now that he's home. He's 6' 4" and slender, it's the perfect fit for him, because XL is usually too big while the right length for his long arms. Love this coat!

This Coat is just what I was hoping for, plenty of pockets, plenty of room to move, and keep you warm and the wind out.

I needed to replace my lost Bugaboo jacket of many years! My new one is the same as the old one except for the new silver lining. It does make it much easier to get the jacket on and off and it does keep you warm. The hard part for me is the bright and shinning surface of the silver lining. It is a little too much bling for the eye. The good part of the lining it is way easier to find in the dark so it will help me not to loose this one!

This Jacket was so comfortable and warm. I was very happy with the fit and the way it was constructed. It is just a great jacket for those really cold winter days and nights. This is the one I would grab to keep me warm and cozy !

We have bought 3 of these coats. LOVE LOVE LOVE the light weight warmth and the style. I would highly recommend getting the Omni heat!!! I don't know exactly how those little silver dots keep me warm but I love that they do!!

Excellent Product for college student

I'm a 6'7" outdoor enthusiast who grew up in interior Alaska where we experience -60 winters. It was always difficult finding warm gear that was long enough to cover vulnerable areas like wrists and waist from snow and frostbite, but Columbia has pulled through! This jacket reaches past my wrists in a relaxed position and is plenty long. I'm a slim 220 lbs and the L-Tall fit very well with comfortable room for layering. The only bad thing I can say about this jacket is that the baselayer jacket runs very large, more like an XL-T, but I wasn't planning on wearing it separately anyways.

This coat will keep you warm! Very well made. No complaints.

My dad is a big guy, not very tall and this fit great

This jacket is extremely warm, my husband sweats in this jacket. It is very stylish, and has a great fit. He can wear the inside lining without the jacket in 40 degree weather. I highly recommend this jacket

This three in one jacket came in quickly and exactly to size. All 79 jackets that we bought were of high quality--not one defect! My guys love them and the embroidery we had done on them took very well! The 2 styles of Bugaboo jackets (1986 and Interchange) came in complimentary sizes (Long/Talls) making the combination of the two jackets an excellent solution for a diverse set of body types: L to XLT to XXXL!

This was my first Columbia coat and did go wrong. I bought 3X runs true to size and can be adjusted if needed. I bought it 3 years and still in great condition. Love the coat will be buying new one soon.

It is perfect. Great as a light coat or a fleece. Very warm.

I bought this jacket for my 6'6" husband, who typically wears 2XLT sized shirts and jackets. This jacket fits him a little loosely, but that should be fine to accommodate layering for warmth. He hasn't had the opportunuty to try it in cold weather yet, but will use this jacket for a winter trip to Canada.

Ordered MEN'S BUGABOO INTERCHANGE JACKET - TALL. Looks great! I am 6'6" and weigh 205 pounds so I need the extra length without all the extra size. I wavered back and forth between the L and XL but ultimately settled on the Large. I think it will work fine but I do wish I had an extra inch in the sleeves and in the overall length. But I can't wait to try it out when it gets cold here in Central PA!

Bought this for my husband, and he is very happy with it. It's warm enough for him for our SW MI winters, and he loves the 3 in 1 feature.

My husband took me on a birthday trip to Niagara Falls the first weekend in May. As we were approaching the date, I kept checking the weather and realized that it would be 20-30 degrees below normal temperatures, wind advisories, and record breaking rain with possible sleet - the entire weekend. So, I began the hunt for a legitimate heavy rain jacket. We're from Georgia and honestly don't spend much time that kind of weather. When it's cold, we try to stay in doors and keep our time outside to a minimum. I searched high and low and settled on this jacket for him and the women's version for myself. This jacket is AMAZING! It kept out body dry & WARM when we took the tunnel tours, whitewater rapid boardwalk tours and on the boat ride in Niagara Falls (our faces for wet because that's all that was exposed). This jacket is 100% waterproof and 100% windproof. We each kept the fleece zipped in and we never once got sweaty or too hot which hopping on a off the bus and walking around the city. My husband is 6' 4" and 270 lbs. I got him a 2XT. He told me that this is his favorite jacket. His arm length is 38"-39" and the sleeves are long enough too! I really appreciate how Columbia get gave me the option to buy 2X Tall as opposed to 2X Big & Tall. Best money I ever spent on a jacket like this!

I was impressed at how lightweight, yet warm this jacket is. I am very active and am glad for the zip in/zip out feature of the liner. Wind resistant and water repellant. I am very glad I made this purchase.

Perfect for multiple climates.

I first bought a bugaboo about 14 years ago and wore it to a trip in Canada the first week I had it. It was miserable the second day I was there , but the coat kept the elements out and my heat in. Last mont my zipper on the outer shell broke, I called and Columbia stood by their product warranty. I have the new version of the bugaboo and let me tell you, the quality still retains the Columbia name. This jacket is light, warm and does not restrict arm movement. Great job! Thank you Joe

Great coat, would suggest to anyone

Use this jacket daily, not bulky, comfortable to wear while driving. Plenty of pockets, very warm and cuts the wind very well. Water resistance works well in snow/rain. Only complaint would be if you are wearing a sweater or the like, getting your arms in the sleeves of the fleece can be a bit challenging, but nothing terrible. Great jacket for the cost.

I've recently received this jacket. At first I was a little weary about it since it seems so light but when I put it on it's very warm. The inner lining (jacket that's zipped in) is surprisingly warm. I've worn just the inner jacket on its own in the office when I've been cold and it was awesome. I like how the jackets are interchangeable and I can get other jackets from Columbia that are interchangeable and zip them in. The only downfall is the arms are a bit long for me and the way the sleeves are supposed to stay in place doesn't keep them in place very well.
