Customer Reviews Columbia Bugaboo™ II Fleece Interchange Jacket

This coat is wonderful. I would definitely order a size up from what you normally wear in clothes but overall definitely recommend it.

Good quality and color, my friends love it.

The quality is perfect, a pretty product but it doesn't fit me well, I am 120 lb and 4.95ft and I order M first and it was so big then I change it for S, and still big but if I order XS it will not close me. Definitely a product for someone who is tall.

I loved this coat online and was really excited to wear it. However, when it came, I was a little uncomfortable with the way it sat on me (for reference, I'm 5'4" and weigh about 150 lbs and I ordered a M). My issue with this product is that the fleece doesn't connect to the bottom of the coat so it hangs free, while it also ends higher up than the coat itself. With every movement the fleece rode up on me and was slightly tight across my butt even though the outer-lining of the coat fit very nicely. Weird fitting on the fleece was the only reason I was forced to send it back- too uncomfortable.

Love the coat the color is beautiful Fleece is soft and the jacket is true to size (small).

a good purchase apart from the size is a little larger than I thought.

The color wasn't what I was expecting, it's a bright vivid purple rather than a dull purple like in the pictures, but honestly I like it more than the pic just not what I was expecting

This jacket is so close to perfect, but I consider this issue a primary design flaw. Columbia, SO many people use these jackets for sledding, skiing, snowboarding. Put a third pocket on the OUTSIDE of the jacket near the chest! The fact that, to keep my phone safe when I'm skiing, I need to unzip the jacket AND unzip the FLEECE just to access that pocket is insane. If you fix it I will absolutely buy a new one! I would recommend it to everyone I know! But right now? It's an enormous design flaw and it makes me wish I bought a North Face. Literally JUST FOR THAT POCKET

This 3-in-1 jacket is ok. It's a little bit tricky to wear with both layers as the fleece is a bit bulky and requires some readjusting for comfort. There are no inside pockets on either layer. While the Velcro is of good quality, it does still grab onto my scarf at times. Fortunately we haven't been very cold where I live quite yet. The outer shell is of a nice quality as it is water proof, wind proof, and insulated. I trust that it will hold up well for a few years. I got it on sale, but still don't think I would pay what I paid for this product a second time due to bulky fleece and limited pockets.

I liked the versatility of 3 jackets in one but when the fleece inner jacket was in place it felt too bulky. Also, the fleece sleeves were very long and stuck out of the outer jacket, with only a small snap to hold them in place. I also didn’t like the logo so prominent in white on black.

Loved the green color. I did not care for the inner fleece jacket. It was almost to bulked. I ended up returning because the inner pocket was only if had the fleece in, there was no inner pocket in shell.

I hate to give this jacket a 3-star rating. I bought it for my daughter. It is a great jacket. It fits perfectly, color matches website. The fleece lining is very fuzzy and attractive to wear as a separate coat. I just cannot get over the plastic zipper. I bought a similar style Columbia jacket about 25 years ago. It has gotten a lot of use and held up well. It is warm in even below zero temperatures- so I'm assuming the new one just purchased will be as well. However, my jacket has all metal zippers. Eventually the zipper pull broke off on the shell, and it is surprisingly extremely difficult to close a zipper without the pull. So I just use the Velcro strips to close it. But after 25 years I am not complaining! The new plastic zippers? I give them 5 years, tops. Hugely disappointed in Columbia for this poor quality. This is one receipt I'll be saving. If my daughter gets 10 years good use out of the coat, I'll toss the receipt. But if (when) those zippers go, I will be requesting a replacement.

fits very small and liner not secure pushed through sleeve returned for refund

Very warm but gets dirty very easily and hard to clean

The jacket isn't as described. Seems as if it will not keep me warm in snow days. The fleece liner feels cheap and looks as it will come apart when you wash it

I've worn Columbia jackets and coats for years. I'm so disappointed that this jacket didn't fit. The body of the jacket runs large but the sleeves are both long and wide. Sadly, I had to return it.

Suoer warm and fuzzy, great that it is two jackets in one. No out zips or extra pockets (other than two main) so it is going back and being exchanged for a jacket with more pockets and armpit vents!

Warm jackets, sleeves are a bit short. Overall worth the price.

Love this jacket but the zipper broke after only 1 week. I had to return for another one but couldn't get the same color so very disappointed.

This is not a winter coat!! I was cold wearing this "jacket" and winter isn't even official yet. I was excited that it is 3 in 1 but not anymore. Not worth the cost!!

I was excited about this coat. I am 5'3 and weigh 123 pounds. I first ordered a small. It was just too big. I returned it for an extra small. It was still just too big in weird ways - the part I really disliked was that the arms were super big around the shoulders/biceps. Just too much material there. The sleeves were also just a tad longer than they needed to be. It's a shame. The green ivy color was gorgeous, and it was extremely warm. Sadly I am returning the X small as well.

Not worth the price average coat. I did like the fleece but that's it.

The outer shell is paper thin. The inner fleece is paper thin. I bought a medium and had no trouble layering. I have worn this coat twice. Both times I was wearing jeans, t-shirt, hoodie, the fleece liner and outer shell. It was in the teens and I still felt chilly. I live in northern MN so no way this will be warm in months where it's typically 20-30 below zero everyday. I thought this was going to be just like my first Columbia jacket I had back in the early 2000's of the same design. That lasted me over 10 years. It is not. I'm going to have to buy either a standard, thick fleece jacket to go underneath the shell, or a another fall type jacket to make this a warm coat. Not sure where the reviewers are from that claim it's so warm. Definitely not from the cold north. I am 5'2", around 160 lbs. I was so excited to have a Columbia jacket again but am left utterly disappointed.

It's an amazing jacket BUT I am very upset that I didn't return it to size down to extra small winter is definitely here in Michigan and I did not want to wait another couple of weeks to exchange I was kinda nervous reading comments saying they ran large but on the website it said if you usually wear small it'll fit. I DEFINITELY could've got away with the extra small and I never buy extra small but the coat looks alright on me it is pretty long on the belly and torso area but it does keep me nice and warm through the winds. Just upset I didnt think it would run a little on the larger side Still a great coat for winter though. Also I am 5'1 and weight between 110-115 pounds.

Got this jacket for post baby belly, fit is good. The only problem is, just as a shell, the silver lining seems to keep cold at in rather than help insulate; breeze blows and your cold! Also this is the THIRD Columbia coat in recent years that's had a crappy zipper. It's not quiet broken but it's well in its way. It's over the return period so I'm kinda suck.
