Customer Reviews Columbia Whirlibird IV Interchange Jacket

This coat was very warm and very cute. I ordered a small since I am 5'1. The coat fit well, however, with any bulky type clothing on under it was tight. I also would have preferred for the coat to cover my butt. It covered most of it but again, was a bit tight. With the right sizing the coat would have worked great. I returned due to sizing and purchased a different Columbia jacket that I liked better.

The coat is very warm, though I wore it twice and the zipper broke. At that point I was unable to return.

This is a nice coat. I'm a fan of the OmniHeat and it really works to keep me warm in our climate where it's cold 8 months out of the year. I'm 5'7" 145 lbs and a medium was a little snug under the arms with just a thin baselayer on, otherwise it fit well.

It runs too small. Have to size up. Also feels like the inside will shrink after wash (had that happen with another Columbia puffer) which will make it even smaller. Have to go return and buy size larger

I was so excited for this Jacked but it didn't fit me in my normal size and they didn't have one more size at the moment so I couldn't use it for my trip.

Fits small. Went up a size and it was still small.

The jacket is very nice ... but the comments said to up size .I usually wear a large in your jackets .. but because of the comment I up sized to an xl.Jacket is to large .. but because I live in pa and needed a winter jacket ... I kept it.I can double wrap myself in it ...Had to wear something ..

I have two major complaints about this jacket. Number one is that it is not very warm even though it has two jackets in one. I wanted warmth AND waterproof and it failed. Because of this I am on the fence about whether or not to keep it. I really wanted a warm jacket. I'm sure if you're skiing and your body heat is elevated you'll love it, but if you're just outside in the cold it's disappointing BIG TIME. I can feel cold come through when it's in the 50's out. Number two is that the neck is very stiff and very tall. Most people don't have a swan like neck and this jacket is made solely for those body types. I feel like a turtle in this jacket when it's all the way up. It's ridiculous. One other thing that really doesn't matter too much is that it's kind of boxy and not very flattering on the body and I don't like how it drops down in the back. But I bought it for function, not style.

I loved my Columbia jacket that this one replaced when it broke but have been quite disappointed in this product! The quality is very poor. I would recommend spending a little more for something that would last. I have not even had the jacket for one year and it has signs of wear and tear, some that appeared within one month of having it. The material on the wrists, around the zippers and more is wearing down already!

I bought S size because of your recommendation before to buy it. Unfortunetly, your advice was wrong and the size is too big for me. Now, i live in Colombia and I lost my money because i cant change it here.

This jacket was the worst fitting jacket I've ever worn. The inside shell was fine but the outside jacket was tight at the bottom and loose at the top with very long sleeves. The worst part of this jacket is that it transferred red dye onto my car seat permanently. There were no warnings on the jacket.

I REALLY thought I found my new ski jacket with this one... I love the omni-heat technology... it allows for a super warm and relatively non-bulky jacket. It looked nice, fit well and would have been perfectly functional on the mountain except for one major flaw - the powder skirt is attached to the outer jacket. Thus, when you use both the shell and inner (warm) jacket, the powder skirt bunches up the inner jacket, which looks terrible, and even worse, renders the functionality of the powder skirt useless. It should be on both the shell and inner jacket. Plus, the goggle pocket is on the inside of the shell, which blocks its use when you're using the inner jacket - it's very atypical to use only the shell in serious skiing conditions. It would be nice to have that pocket on both jackets.
