Customer Reviews Columbia Lay D Down™ II Jacket

The jacket fits as expected. I wear a large but purchased an x-large for wiggle room. I am glad I did. In the cold (from between 20 to negative 30 degrees Fahrenheit) a heavy sweatshirt is required if you are a freeze cat like me. It isn't as insulated as you would think. The color and fabric are nice. Minus it not being as warm as I expected I like the coat.

Bought this last year and another different style. Nice and warm, versatile jackets but both feel cold in the top shoulder area, I agree with another's review. Will try putting shoulder pads on the inside to see if that helps.

It's not my original bugaboo( purchased in 09) but after 3x times it will work for a winter jacket.. so far it seems to keep me warm.

I really like this jacket but the inside of the jacket is orange. Not my favorite part of the jacket. The Navy blue (outside) of the jacket is really nice but the inside of the hood Orange I'm not excited about.

I did not keep this coat because it didn't fit me well and I was looking for something warmer. I have a very straight figure, and I don't feel like it was very flattering on me.

Jacket fit seemed heavy enough and had a powder skirt for skiing but the faux fur on the hood was bad quality and the gray white color was very fake. The satin shiny material of the jacket also cheapened the look.

I wanted a NAVY blue jacket to wear to NFL games. The jacket had to be functional, sized appropriately to layer and have special features such as pit zips. I originally ordered a medium jacket, as I am 5'4" 130# and normally wear size 6-8; small-medium, not large chested. The medium was too small, even without layers. The reviews had indicated it fit true to size. That was not the case. I did order the large and found it to fit great! I can layer if needed, and if not I don't look like a oompa-loopma. Since it has not snowed at the games I do wonder about the outer fabric for snow days. Sitting 3-5 hrs at a football game, will get chilly, if the fabric does not repel the water and the down becomes wet and fails to insulate. According to the description the outer fabric should hold up. I hope so. The jacket is a "fitted" style (tapers at the waist) so it does give you a nice shape vs the rectangular look most jacket have. I do like the comfort cuffs. This was the only navy color I could find with the features I wanted. Wish the faux fur trim was a different color, like a natural/tan, who looks good in grey around their face?! I'd give it 5 stars, but the fit wasn't accurate and I haven't been able to test out the outer fabric in the snow. If and when it does snow, I hope I can change my review. So far loving my jacket!

Didn't keep me as warm as I would like was still cold work in a slaughterhouse it's like 30 degrees I was still cold with sweater in underneath plus feathers were in my sweater an I only had it for a week not what I expected for the price but it's already been worn so can't return it wouldn't recommend for super cold weather a bit disappointed but I do like the extra inside pockets that's about it

Terrible fit and horrendous zipper. Quality has significantly gone down pretty sad. Returned and bought another jacket elsewhere.

I was very excited about this jacket, it was cute, and warm. However, upon taking it to Europe this Christmas I found that the zipper was of poor quality. I had numerous occasions when the zipper came undone at the bottom. I was disappointed in this, because I really liked this jacket. I will be returning it out of fear that it would keep breaking and that I would be on a trip with a non-functioning jacket.
