Customer Reviews Columbia Alpine Slide™ Jacket

I ordered this in size M in the Nocturnal Blue. I feel the color is true to what is in the picture online. My shape is muscular thighs, butt, & arms, broad shoulders, 34D bust. My torso is shorter, lets longer, & arms regular length. This coat fits well, with room for layers underneath for ski season. It's a bit on the short side, which I'm hoping will make me look "leggy" in ski boots & pants, haha. And it pinches in a little at the waist, which is a little odd to me, but doesn't bother me. I love the fuzzy hood for fun, but the jacket has good technical features, including a powder skirt that snaps into the interior when not in use, a hidden inside chest zip pocket, a stretchy mesh inside pocket in addition to the outside side zipper pockets and sleeve ski pass zipper pocket. I probably would use the powder skirt on this jacket more than on longer ones I have because it's short enough to allow for a big dump of shocking cold down my pants if I fell in the powder. And the all time BEST feature - pit zips!!! Love having this option when skiing, 'cause I can heat up when tearing up the ski hill. And also, these days, there are those hot flashes... :) The "comfort cuffs" inside the sleeves are another good technical feature, as the sleeves aren't too long, so the cuff into a mitt/glove will keep wrists & hands toasty warm, when needed. My 1st foray into Columbia's Omni Tech, I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs on cold days on the mountain & learning the best ways to layer under it for different conditions/temps.

I love this jacket it is very warm, and I do love the features of this coat. It was a little large but the fact I can button up the inside bottom of coat helps! I highly recommend this jacket!!

This has it all. Super cute and stylish. Very warm. It's perfect for harsh Michigan winters. Im very happy with this purchase!

Is really slim and pretty. The pockets were not noticeable and the quality is really good. It kept me warm. I just didn't know how to make the hood tighter. I saw the elastic, but I didn't have anything to hold it tight.

Just what i was looking for, great quality and color is so cute.

This jacket is very warm, wore it in 20 temps and I stay very warm. Love the black color with the white fur. Definitely worth the price.

Feels fantastic! You'll never go cold with this coat.

This coat is amazing! I have long arms and have always had a hard time finding coats that fit through the body and in length and this coat fits perfectly! So warm for Minnesota winter weather! Definitely my go to coat!

I bought this jacket for Colorado trips, it's perfect for cold weather,it's perfect to go skiing, sledding or skating. I was in Ouray, Telluride, Glenwood Springs and Aspen and I was very happy to have this jacket, because I didn't feel cold.

Love the jacket, great features, the dusty iris color is very nice. All my Columbia jackets are small, maybe I should have ordered a bigger size (M) for this style.

Bought for my daughter, and she loves it. Warm, functional for skiing, but looks good for wearing in the city walking to work. "Not too ski-jackety" she said. Nocturnal is a pretty blue.

This is ideal for cold weather and activity outdoors! I love the color and fit! I have never had a jacket fit me this well. It looks very modern and stylish on.

I like everything about this jacket, and it fits fine except the lower arms are super tight. I've always been a skinny arm/leg person so I'm surprised. I usually wear XS or S but maybe this jacket runs small and so I should have ordered an M? So disappointed because I like it otherwise and I really don't want the hassle of returning by mail...

Love this jacket! Color blue is beautiful. Only problem is one of the pocket zippers came apart. Was able to fix hoping it holds.

I tried both a medium and large (I generally wear a medium) and medium fit snug. This is a nice looking and fitted jacket. Unfortunately, the fur on the hood is very ackward. I tried adjusting it but there was no way to make it look like it belonged on the jacket. With the hood up my face disappeared about 6" back from the front of the hood. I considered dispensing with the hood alltogether but that was why I purchased the jacket in the first place. Had to return.

Beautiful jacket , bright red color , good quality , but terrible cut . Tight in the armpit , short sleeves, short in length , and large around my waist .
