Customer Reviews Columbia Lay D Down™ II Jacket

Love the fit and the feel of this jacket and I'm anticipating ski season when I'll give it a try.

Cute jacket, very warm. I bought this for skiing and it was great!

I received this to wear to a ski trip after not skiing for a couple years. The quality of this jacket is amazing. This coat took me from the first day of the trip an unexpected 50 degree day where I unzipped the vents and then to 16 the third day. It was very warm and comfortable. Only other comment is that the jacket is heavy.

Great jacket. Have used twice for skiiing and tubing and kept me warm. Great versatility w the underarm vents, removable hood, etc. I wish the fur looked a little more realistic as it looks rather cheap. My only complaint is that.

Looks great, feels great! The colors are pretty and the fit is attractive. I'm 135, 5'4" with an athletic build and the small fits great. I like that it has the underarm vents, that will be helpful for spring skiing. I can't wait to ski in this jacket!

I did ALOT of searching for a ski coat. This one is great - slightly fitted so you don't look like a big lump, comfortable and super warm. I'm 5'3", 120 lbs. small frame. Bought the multicolor one - super cute.

The picture does not do this coat justice, it's bright and so pretty. All of the Geranium color coats and pants are so faded on the website and they're so pretty in person. Great coat, perfect fit. Nice roomy hood, I love the fleece collar. Fits cuter to give a nice shape.

I'm a long time omni-heat jacket wearer and this one is the BEST I've owned. I live in the tundra of Central New Jersey - certainly not the coldest of places but our winters - and the wind! - can make us feel like we're in Antarctica. If it's below 75F, I'm FREEZING but this coat is GREAT. Definitely keeps me warm. The under arm zips are great - I wore this jacket while doing an outdoor ropes course in the mountains at night and I was sweating. Even walking my dog (who stops to sniff more than she actually walks) had me considering unzipping. The hood is warm and stays up which was a nice bonus. The sleeves are long. I got the pink color which is fun and bright. The jacket was a bit more fitted than I was expecting - but that might be because I'm normally pretty slim and used to clothes being baggy.... but am still packing some post-pregnancy fluff. Still able to wear the jacket comfortably with a thick sweater underneath. My only complaint is it does bunch up a bit in the back when wearing it in the car. I'm hoping that doesn't happen when sitting on a chairlift when skiing. The body of the jacket could be longer, though I do have a long torso. I'm 5'7" and about 145 lbs and am wearing the Medium. I'd say it runs pretty true to size, but size up for layering. I am already recommending this jacket to everyone I know.

Love this jacket and the features that it has I am 5'3 34C and bought a Small. It fits perfectly and leaves room for extra layers. the grey color is actually a light blue. I wanted a light blue jacket and decided to go with this grey color but was even more excited when it arrived and was actually a light blue. Worth the money and is VERY warm.

I already had a black Columbia but after years of use, it was time for an upgrade. This coat did not disappoint. It has all the features I was looking for. The thumb holes, the waist strap to prevent air coming up, a removable fur hood, and most importantly, keeps me warm! It might be questionable in negative degrees though. 5'5", 125lbs. I like the fit of the small. It is ever so slightly snug but I prefer it that way as some puffy winter coats over power my small frame.

The jacket is made well and looks to be very warm. It's not winter yet so I cannot attest to the warmth of the jacket. It's a beautiful jacket, you do not see this color very often and that is part of what drew me to this particular jacket.

I've had this jacket for about three years now, and I love it! I take it up to the snowy mountains several times each year for various snow activities. I normally wear it with ski pants and snow boots, and it keeps me comfortably warm. I can actually lie down in the snow to make snow angels and not feel any cold AT ALL. I have also lent it out to friends and family several times, and they also love it! Some have purchased for themselves (the ones who frequent the snow the most). The sizing is very true to size - it does not leave room for much layering other than a very lightweight thermal long-sleeve, but you honestly will not need additional layers because this jacket is warm enough. Any more layers and you would probably sweat and get extremely warm after snow activities. I am someone with low blood pressure, and I am generally ALWAYS cold (even inside buildings I am freezing sometimes), so that should tell you how much I believe in the effectiveness of this jacket. I am a size Small in most Columbia jackets - this one is also size Small, and fits perfectly (again, no room for layers, but you will not need them). I have the wine red color (which doesn't look like Columbia stocks anymore), and I have gotten so many compliments on it.

I absolutely love this coat not only will it keep me warm and dry but it is so cute and fits really well

Beautiful color. I originally ordered an xs but had to exchange it for a S. This item runs small.

This jacket is so comfortable and warm! It does fit tight...like an hourglass shape I ended up with 2 since i had to get a bigger size. But they are beautiful and so warm cant wait for next winter to show them of and take on the next bitter nebraska cold.

Nice jacket as I expected. Columbia is one of the best brands I ever Used.

Great jacket for skiing. Was able to remove the fur. Very warm and waterproof. Liked that it covered hips but not too long. Such a pretty color!

The coat fits exceptionally well and looks amazing. To top it off, it is warm and cozy!

This coat fit just right and rolls up well for packing. I did find the neck area too tight to zip it all the way up comfortably so wearing a warm vest under it would be recommended.

This jacket is beautiful! I thought it was light gray but but it looks like Very light blue, they should've called it Ice blue. Comfy cozy jacket, has all the features I was looking for but wished for more hidden pockets.

Very warm. Live in Alaska, perfect for skiing weather.

Stylish and warm I ordered a size up as suggested by the manufacturer. Fits great.

I love this jacket! It is flattering, super cute, and comfortable! The color is truly not as bright as it appears in pictures but I knew that, which is why i liked this color even more. They show an Instagram picture of someone wearing this coat and that's a great example of how it really looks in person. I bought this close to the end of winter so i did not get to test it out in super cold weather. The coldest i wore it in was 25 degrees at night. Definitely get the size up from what you think you are. I technically am a Medium/Large but everyone said size up so i bought the XL and it fits PERFECT! Very happy with my purchase!!

Very warm. Size was a bit bigger than expected, but fit well over my ski bibs

I agree that this is more of a form fitting jacket than relaxed fit but that is in the description. I love all of the features and recently took it on a ski trip. Too warm to get to wear the first few days but I fairly tried it out and it was fabulous!! It has pit zips, which are a must, and a ski pass pocket on the left arm - fantastic! The hood is very warm and the faux fur very, very nice. I am so please to have a waterproof down jacket!!
