Customer Reviews Columbia Whirlibird IV Interchange Jacket

I've been an avid Columbia fan for the last ten or so years. Since my previous omni-heat jacket got ruined by a dog, I had been searching for the perfect replacement...and this is IT! When I took it out of the box, I was surprised by how heavy it felt, but it's still so comfortable, movable, and flattering. For reference, I am 5'1'' and the small hits me a little below hip level. What else is cool about this jacket is that depending on what light you're in, it can look grayer, or more black. If you've never tried it, the omni-heat technology is phenomenal. I'm usually the type of person who is cold any time it hits below 50 degrees. When my husband was complaining about the 20-degree weather, but I wasn't, I knew this jacket was just as great as I remembered from my last. It keeps you seriously warm. It goes without saying too that the versatility is fantastic to have - to be able to take off the shell and wear the "undercoat" is so convenient. I couldn't recommend this jacket more!

This jacket is so comfortable and soft. It goes on easy, is very warm, and has lots of pockets. It's also very lightweight. It's very attractive, and reasonably priced. It's also versatile enough for you to open up when you're too warm, or simply use the inner liner.

Wife is happy she is 6' 185lb and the XL fits great! Thanks

Love this coat! I love all the pockets! I love how warm it is! I love how flattering it is! I love the inner shell! I love the fact that I won't have to purchase another parka for a very long time! Love, love, love- it makes the world go 'round!

This coat is very warm and runs a little large, which allows for you to wear bulky sweaters underneath. The coat is very light and thin but that doesn't compensate for how warm it gets. Happy with my purchase!

Great fit that can have the jacket parts worn together or separately.

I love this jacket! If you need something warm for like the 20 degree to 30 degree Fahrenheit range I recommend. Lately it's only been 40's/ 50's and I've only been wearing the outer shell without the puffer! I love that you get basically 3 jackets in one, especially for the price. Material feels good all in all id give it a 5/5. If I had to name one only complaint I would say it was my error, I ordered the black cross dye and I expected it to be fully black. That is not the case, I should have zoomed in and analyzed better but still looks VERY dark and chic and from a distance it definitely looks black. I am 5'2, 36 inch waist and wider hips and ordered a large. It's a little snug around the hips but, nothing dropping a few pounds couldn't solve. If I needed to use it completely zipped up at the time of purchase I would have ordered an XL. All in all, great jacket, big fan, highly recommend.

I love love love this jacket. I got the black cherry color and it's beautiful in person. I like the faint heathered looking pattern to it. I was between ordering a small or a medium, but went with a small. It is definitely true to size, the small fits me perfectly! I am 5'2, 140lbs for reference. I have sort of a broad, muscular upper body so was worried about it being slightly tight up top, but it fits good with room to move. I will wear a thin workout top underneath when I snowboard. The snow skirt at the bottom is a bit tight on my hips even though my hips are relatively narrow. It will surely keep the snow out though. I would definitely recommend this jacket :)

If you are looking for a jacket to keep you warm in the winter months and the same time keep you stylish, then this jacket is the one for you. One thing that is perfect about the jacket is that since it's 2 in one it is even better for those colder days. It's even a lightweight jacket to carry around in school. This jacket is great would definitely purchase again and recommend.

Very pleased with my new jacket! I love that it keeps me so warm in the winter plus the style doesn't disappoint. In the spring I will wear the "inner jacket" when I walk. This is my second purchase of this style jacket. Yes I reccomend it!

I ordered this for my teenage daughter who is petite. The small fit her perfectly with room to move. She loves there versatility of removing the outer shell and wearing the puffy layer alone. It keeps her warm and she can be active in it. Purchased the jacket in red and she loves it.

I bought this jacket primarily for skiing but after using it, it's my go to jacket for everything. The 3 in 1 makes this the perfect jacket. The outer shell is waterproof and has venting in the armpits. It has many pockets and a hood. The inner puffer is equally full of pockets and has Omni heat. It's nicely warm but easy to move in. Combined, the jacket has everything you need for any cold day. It's easy to zip and Velcro the flap closed. It moves easily and is functional while being fashionable. I highly recommend this jacket.

Love my new jacket system! Replacing my old one which was 20 years old so I'm new to the Omni heat but think I'm going to love it. We aren't very cold here so I think I'll mostly be using the 2 layers separately unless we're going to the mountains. Also love the hood- my old one didn't have one which I wished for many times.

I upgraded from my old interchangeable Columbia. I love this one because the sleeves don't come out when you put it on like my old one with a fleece insert. All around great!

Purchased this jacked for our upcoming ski trip, it is everything I wanted plus more! Plenty of pockets and love that I can separate the 2 jackets.

This jacket is awesome! I have had Columbia jackets and winter coats my whole life and the quality and functionality are fantastic! I bought this one as a replacement coat for my previous winter jacket as that one had gotten slightly too snug for me to wear comfortably. I love the Omni Tech fabric and Omni Heat features and that this jacket has multiple layers for extra warmth when it is colder out. I got it in Dark Nocturnal Sparkler print and it is very flattering both color wise and fits great! I even have enough room to comfortably layer a with a sweatshirt if I want. I definitely recommend this jacket and look forward to many years of wearing it!

Finally getting back into snow sports. Went back to my tried and true Columbia Interchange coat. Went with the red - love the tone on tone "plaid". Fits great. 5'2". 127. Plenty of room to layer. With Columbia product of course!!

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. It looks great on her. Very attractive coat for the type that it is.

Bought this jacket for my daughter who is 12. Bought a women's medium which was just about right - so I would say it runs a bit small -- but the quality and fit is great! She loves the pockets and vents - will be great for skiing. Would highly recommend.

Great jacket. Keeps you warm on cold days. Like that you can interchange the jacket to fit your needs.

My daughter absolutely loves her Columbia jacket!

This is just what I wanted. Even in 20 degree weather the interior jacket alone is almost too warm. I went with a medium planning on wearing bulky sweaters under it, but it's so warm I don't think I will. It's a bit on the big side, but not enough to return and try a small.

I bought this for my wife as a X-mas present. She called it the best winter jacket she has ever owned. Very warm considering the light weight. Secret pockets galore, which she loves. Tremendous value for the money.

I love this jacket due to versatility. I snowboard and snowshoe in the winter. I can wear this jacket for both outings. The jacket also has a nice pattern so I can wear it as a casual jackets. Pockets are nice and deep so I can fit tons of stuff in it. I also like how easy it is to unzip or keep together!

Looks good, and keeps my Lovelies warm. Job done. Thank you.
