Customer Reviews Columbia Glacial™ IV 1/2 Zip

This top is very form fitting, which I was not expecting. I normally wear a medium and while it did have a lot of stretch I found it to be too tight. It was also too short for my 5'10 frame. I felt that I had to keep pulling it down to cover my midriff. I'm sure this would be great on someone more petite...it's too bad Columbia doesn't make more items in Tall sizes. Needless to say, I will be returning.

The color is terrific and flattering. The sleeves are oddly long..by 4". Although I purchased a Large size , it hugs my ribs and I have a rather small chest. The collar is awkwardly large. But I LOVE the color so will keep it wear it often.

Unfortunately this top didn't meet my expectations. The material was too thin and the collar was odd (too high?). Returned it.

I was hoping for a cozy fleece that I could wear with or without something underneath. At least the white has a thickness more like a tee-shirt than a traditional fleece. I will likely return it unless one of my kids wants it.

The quality seemed nice, but this was not a large. It ran extremely small, which was sad because it would have been perfect otherwise. I had to return, and Columbia doesn't do free return shipping. I probably won't buy via the website again, but I would definitely buy in store where I can try on to make sure things fit. For context, one of my friends who is a true small tried this "large" on and it fit her a little snug in the chest.

Let me first say that I like Columbia products. I ordered this online and found the fabric to be much thinner than I was expecting. It's too thin for my intended use, so I'm returning it.

I bought this in December. I wore it about a dozen times. I'm not tough on my clothes and I take very good care of them. This morning when I put it on and went to zip it up, the zipper broke. I wouldn't have expected a zipper to break within 3 months of light wear. I'm very disappointed in the quality. It's not worth putting in a new zipper as I can buy a new fleece for about the same price. However, I would not buy this again nor recommend it.

This is just an okay fleece. If I'd seen it in person I would not have purchased it, it's on the thinner side and not super warm. Doesn't seem to be high quality.

Ordered a Large. Fits like a S/M

I think the sweater is perfect for cool, chilly, weather. it will not keep you warm in colder temperatures. its super cute and great quality. it does run very small, its a fitted sweater.

Just received this top and was very disappointed The material is very thin and seems cheap. Sleeves are very long, just seems poorly made. I have a full zip fleece from Columbia that is probably 8 years old that I have always loved and was hoping this would be similar but with 1/4 zip. It is just not the same quality. I did get it on sale and can't remember what I paid for it, but whatever it was, was too much.

what a dissappointment! I have bought many Columbia tops and jackets in the past. Although the collar has fleece on both sides, the half-zip FLEECE does not!!! It is a thin fabric; yes the exterior fabric is very soft, (TODAY....the day I took it out of the package...but I doubt it will feel this way after a washing. ) Regardless, this is not a fleece top. No pockets, no features to speak of. Not a fleece top.

Argh...Columbia sizing is horrible and unpredictable. Proportions are off - sleeves too long, armhole too snug, length too long and collar is SO uncomfortable, when it's zipped it's like a cowl-neck it's so loose and when unzipped it flops down - very unflattering.

I bought this in July and start to wear it in Oct. The zipper was broken today. bad quality!!

Great price and fabric but the zipper was no good. I purchased two of these and both zippers went bad.

I don't like because It's very thin
