Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboo™ II Fleece Interchange Jacket

This jacket is slim, size up of you want room wish I would have ordered a large

Love the versatility of 3-in-1. I bought this one because my previous 3-in-1 just started developing some rips in the shell after over 20 years of skiing! I like the bright shell color, so my kids can easily follow me, but I also like a boring inner fleece layer for normal wear. My only complaint is that the inner layer is FUZZY. It feels kind of tacky to wear around the office. But if it were a simple, boring, solid colored fleece, I'd wear it a lot more!

I bought this jacket to use for skiing. I love the color, it is warm enough, I only wish it had more pockets. The inner jacket is also wonderfully soft.

I love everything about it...except how the inner liner sleeves have to be adjusted every time I put the jacket on. Love the color!! I get compliments on the color every time I wear it. Wore it up to the snow last weekend and I was toasty the entire time! The water just beaded up on the outer shell.

It's a beautifully made jacket. Construction is excellent. I returned it because the collar was too high and it bothered me.

Fits great and keeps me super warm. I had my last Columbia jacket for almost 20 years. I would still be wearing it but I gained so much weight I couldn't zip it anymore. I'm loving this jacket. I wish it had a pocket on the inside of the lining but since it doesn't I gave it a 4 instead of a 5.

I received this coat today in the Stone Green, which I purchased the color because I thought it would go with everything. However, the fleece on line looks brown, which I really liked but the one I received is more olive, almost the same color as the shell. I would like a little more room in the shoulders but that is just my build and it's not uncomfortable. With that said I do really like this coat and it's my third bugaboo. I purchased the XXL.

Overall, this is a pretty good jacket. It is very warm - I've worn it with 2 other layers while skiing on a 10 degree day with no problems. It does not have nearly enough pockets, especially if you're a skier. There are only 2 front hand pockets - no arm, chest, or inside pockets. Otherwise it's a good jacket for warm or cold weather.

I haven't had a chance to try this out snowboarding just yet, however I love both jackets together and by themselves. My only issue is that there aren't any zip vents in the under arm area since I usually run a bit on the hotter side. I am 5'3, usually wear a size 0-2, I ordered a small seems to fit good even with another long sleeve on under both jackets. When I put the fleece on by itself the sleeves are a little bit long. Can't wait to be able to try this out on the mountain.

I've had this coat for about 2 months now. This fits well and I think is true to size. To cover my butt though I should probably have gotten a size larger than I really needed. However, the coat still fits nicely even with a thick sweater on. The sherpa insert is great - super soft and warm. The waterproof outer jacket also works well. The only thing I really dislike (why only 4 stars) is that the zipper cover flap has snaps only at the top and bottom of the zipper - the rest are velcro, so my gloves and scarves get stuck to them when I go to zip/unzip. Eventually I'm sure the velcro will get filled with fuzz and not stay closed. Overall though I'm very happy with my purchase - it's kind of like 2 coats in 1.

This coat is very warm for the cold winter months. Washes nicely. Recommend

I love the green color, it is perfection. The inner jacket is a pain. First, it is not what I would call fleece, it is soft but it doesn't allow for cloth to slide past easily. I.e. if you wear long sleeves, you end up fighting the inner jacket sleeves for about 5 minutes when you put it on. Second, its cuff is just an elastic band, I would have had a wide cuff with something to sinch it.

This jacket is super cozy and comfortable. Im worried about the zipper not lasting long though.

I haven't use this jacket yet but as I tried it I like the way it fits. I have room to wear a light sweater under or 2 layers.

I was a bit hesitant to get the color I have because it looked like. Powder purple coat. However, once I received the coat, I loved the color and the fit. I love the fact that it's actually two coats in one.

The outer shell doesn't feel tough. I don't know whether brambles and thorny bushes cause tears and rips. Wore it in light rain. Waterproofing is fine. I'm used to wearing layers so bought one size larger. Wore the jacket with inner layer zipped to the shell and a couple other layers: Got a bit too warm indoors. Wore them without being zipped together and a couple layers: Still a bit warm indoors but at least the out shell could be unzipped to ventilate, and more pockets. Wore the shell, lightweight fleece jacket and a couple layers: a little cool outdoors but just right indoors. As far as an outer shell is concerned, My North Face Mountain Light 1990 works better with a light fleece jacket and another couple layers under wider weather conditions and temperature ranges. This jacket is still pretty good overall although haven't had a chance to test it in Chicago deep freeze.

the jacket is well made but is a little thin.not as warm as i had hoped,arms get cold very quickly,chest stays warm other wise not bad at all.

I am loving this Jacket. It is great for all seasons. The internal fleece is so soft and stylish on its own. The only thing I wish is that the sleeves of the fleece were more secure in the outer shell of the jacket. Great quality, fit, style, and functionality.

I ordered the XS in this jacket hoping it would fit well and it was sadly too big for me as a 5'6" 120lb woman. The colors and construction were nice, so it's too bad it didn't work out! So if you are a bit on the small side like me, I would look into more of the down jackets as those XS tend to fit much better.

Coat was purchased for my daughter. Color was great and as described, nice and warm and great quality!

I get cold very easily.. so I wanted a warm jacket for skiing. This jacket definitely has a warmth level that's perfect for skiing, which is what I mainly purchased it for. It's relatively lightweight, and comfortable to wear. It looks like it's made of high-quality materials. My only complaints about it include slight disfunctionality ( only two side front pockets-- no hidden inner pockets/sleeve pocket for money/lift ticket and/or goggles). The zipper is hard/awkward when trying to pull all the way up. Lastly, the jacket itself also runs a bit large, and therefore, I'm considering returning.

Was looking for a warmer jacket for the lovely MI weather we get and this worked great! Kept me warm...even in -25 weather! Recommend!

I bought this for a snowboarding trip to Breckenridge, CO. Temps ranged from the low 20s to 30. I was warm the entire time. Jacket was true to size. I was even comfortable wearing it with a thick sweater under the jacket. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me is because the wrist area should be more tightly secured. When I fell some snow got into my jacket at the wrist opening. There's only a velcro strap. I wish there had been a draw string, or something else to secure the wrist area.

I bought this jacket at first in a small, just using the sizing guide. When I received it, it fit, but there wasn't enough space that I would be able to swear many layers underneath. So I returned it for a medium and it's the perfect size! I can still wear warm layers underneath if needed but the jacket itself is super warm too! I love that you can take apart the fleece and outer portion of the jacket so it's almost 2 in 1. So far it's been great.

This high end jacket was bought as a present however it did not fit. Apparently this product runs very small to size.
