Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboo™ II Fleece Interchange Jacket

great coat, really warm and water proofing is good. Only complaint is wish the sleeves were a bit longer.

Outstanding jacket for skiing, winter hikes, and other winter sports. Looks great. I really like the inner zip in lining so you don't have to wear an additional fleece under the jacket shell. The only thing that is missing is that there aren't enough pockets. It really needs some pockets on the sleeve, somewhere near the zipper and inside the jacket.

The shell has the thermal core lining so it will be extra warm when I need it. The fleece lining makes the jacket harder to put on because it's not smooth so it doesn't slide on. The beet is a deep rose color. Not too bright, but just the right amount of color. Can't vouch for the quality until I see how well it holds up over time.

I love how this can be worn all year long, for any season. The inside jacket is so soft and cozy.

I like that the jacket has removable layers. This works well for cold weather and spring skiing. The sleeves were too long for me. I needed to return it, as I need a petite.

It's like 2 jackets in one! The outer snow jacket is nice and light weight but also well insulated, kept me plenty warm by itself snowboarding on a warmer day (30-50 degrees). The fleece is awesome, very fluffy and soft. Both are beautiful shades of blue and work well together or by themselves. The ONLY thing is that, especially as a snow jacket, there is a big lack of pockets. In the outer shell, there are only the 2 hand pockets (that do luckily zip), but no chest pocket or sleeve pocket for my snowboard pass so I had to zip tie to the pull tab. I purposely got this jacket because it was the first one I found that had a removable hood (important for snowboarding) but it is lacking the pockets (another important aspect for snowboarding).

My wife loves this dual jacket system, except for one complaint. The multiple layers, zipper, and velcro at the throat keeps her from being able to zip all the way up as intended. Its kind of a bummer, especially since we broke the jacket in on a ski trip that has 55mph winds at -25f windchill. She did stay plenty warm, plenty dry, and still likes the jacket. She is just bummed at the fit around the neck that should have extended an extra inch or two.

I like the idea of a 3 in 1 jacket, but wish that it were a little longer. Also, I have never worn size large before which is a little upsetting but the medium was too small and I couldn't zip up the jacket. I like the color and fleece lining which is very warm.

This jacket is great and looks really nice. Sadly i need to exchange it because i have freakishly short arms so it didn't fit correctly. The inside jacket looks great on its own and together i could tell it would be nice and toasty.

The fleece part is very soft and comfy, the other part of the jacket works really good keeping you warm and dry in the snow. If you need a jacket for a very cold winter, this is the one for you!

Fit was great. Fleece lining was thin - not as heavy as usual fleece so don't think I'd wear it separately. Still kept me very warm.

I really enjoy wearing this coat about town and can't wait to wear it skiing. I wish it had more pockets, but the inner jacket is SUPER cozy!

Quality but pretty basic. It's a warm, well made jacket. I had to get a bigger size because my usual size was too tight with winter tops on. I'd love more pockets, but it does the job. The fleece liner is super soft, which is nice too. I'm happy with it.

Well made, looked good, but needed a size up While it fit, it was too tight with sweaters and sweatshirts. It only fit properly with thin shirts, which I don't wear if its cold enough to need a winter coat. I had to return it and order a size up because they don't do exchanges, which is very inconvenient. Hopefully the larger one fits well and looks good.

Haven't worn it yet other than to try it on. Comfortable fit with all the layers and not to snug. Hope to wear this as a travel coat flying from our cold climate in the winter to a warm climate for vacation.

It was a very nice coat but very warm and sized a little large It was a warmer coat than I needed.

Honestly, this is a nice jacket, but it didn't suit my purposes. I was looking for a jacket to wear snowboarding and, in particular, I wanted lots of pockets. Unfortunately, this jacket only has the two pockets, so I returned it and will try again next season when there's more stock.

I like my old Columbia better. The liner gets in the way and doesn't really stay put

Great deal for the pricw. You will definitely want ro size up a size to be comfortable, if like a tight fit get your normal size. My one issue is any time i take the coat of the sleeves dont like to stay together because it is a transitional coat i guess that can be expected, but all my previous coats have this feature and none have been so difficult taking off the coat.

It fits right on but I ordered L so I can put extra clothes when I get the Norway. Even as a Large, it looks good. I am concerned that even though the outer layer is supposed to be waterproof and it has a removable inner layer to keep warm, it might not be warm enough at 32f and below weather. It feels thin. I will review when I come back from the trip.

It is hard to put the coat on with the fleece if you are wearing a sweater or sweatshirt. It is like putting on a sweater over a turtleneck. The material makes it difficult to put on. It would be better with a smoother material. I took the fleece out and wear it without which defeats the purpose of the warm coat. The coat is very warm with the fleece and the green color is nice.

Love the outter jacket ... wish the inner jacket had sleeves that flannel didn't get caught on. Had to take it apart and only wear the outter shell so that I can move around.

I purchased the Bugaboo after I had a problem with the fabric tearing on another jacket. This Bugaboo has good quality fabric that seems more durable than my previous jacket. The only negative would be as others have said, when putting your arm into the jacket and trying to poke your hands out, the inside liner jams up and you have to undo the velcro and then redo it after you fix the liner. The jacket size is accurate, I wore it on a sleety day, and it shed water and kept me warm. The hood is nice, too.

Very nice jacket! The lining is much heavier than I expected but will no doubt keep me warm on cool days.

Kept me nice and warm skiing in Colorado. I wish there were more pockets
