Customer Reviews Columbia Basin Butte™ Fleece Full Zip

This coat is Amazing, I live in Nebraska and we have some pretty unforgiving winter season. This coat is not bulky, which allows you to move freely, but keeps you warm at the same time.

This jacket was surprisingly warm.

I really loved this fleece jacket. I love the foil Omni heat on the inside to regulate body temp. It's cute to wear anywhere, and highly functional for sportsand workouts. I wear it on my endurance runs through town. It's perfect! It's a higher quality made fleece than some of the others I've bought in the past. The fleece material is very soft and not bulky. Also, it has a nice feminine shape/cut to it, which is what I like. I went up a size in this, so I could layer it and not have it for snug. I'm glad I ordered the large, instead of the medium. I also love the drawstring cord at the bottom. It just has all the things I'm looking for, in a performance fleece jacket! Thanks Columbia! You got this one right! :)

This jacket is light and warm, I'm 5'2 and 145 Lbs I ordered L and it feels great!

It's comfy and light but at th same time keeps me warm and waterproof. I love it, currently my go to jacket!

Nice style and comfortable. It is about what you you would expect for the price.

I bought this as a gift for a family member who wanted a replacement for a jacket that was ruined in an accident a few years ago. She wanted thin but warm but hadn't found anything to meet the bill and has wasted money on other coats only to just not wear one. She was so excited to open this on Christmas and I've seen her wearing it many times already.

The jacket is lightweight, but it keeps you very warm. True to size.

Great quality, fits great and is super comfortable and cute. Highly recommend.

I purchased this for my daughter and she loves it! It fits her nicely and she says it keeps her warm. The jacket is not very thick but does the job at keeping her warm on chilly mornings.

I ordered this jacket because my friends highly recommend Columbia! I live in Alaska where winters and weather is harsh almost away. Since I got this package in the mail it has kept me warm in every situation and has gone fashionably with my other clothing. It's not heavy or any issues with the zipper I have been able to keep cozy and warm while looking good!!! Thank you!!!

I'm from the Caribbean so I'm still getting used to the cold. I was actually referred to this jacket by a store representative in one of the Manhattan warehouse stores (255). He was so wonderful. I wanted a light jacket for the fall and I was walking by the store so I decided to take a look. I ended up buying a winter jacket, a pair of Omni heat gloves and an omniheat hat. He even got me signed up for the rewards program. They didn't have the omniheat light jacket in store so the store rep pointed me to the online store and told me exactly what to get. His advise was on point. I AM LOVING THIS JACKET!!! It's so comfortable, light weight and warm. In fact, I think it's ideal for more rigid temperatures and not just for the fall. Now I'm waiting to get some snow boots and some base layer leggings from the store. Thanks Columbia!!

Nice jacket but does really does fit on the small side.

Nice fitted jacket. Bought to wear on chilly morning walks. Haven't used it yet as the weather here has been warmer than normal. Very fitted; will layer but over a lightweight shirt. Anything more bulky would be too tight I think.

I followed other reviewers' advice and sized up to a M and I am so glad I did. I would not have been able to zip up if I had ordered my usual size S. This fleece jacket is really cute and warm where there is omni-heat. The only thing I'm not a fan of is how the bottom opens out like a bell and makes my hips look wider than they are.

I love the jacket. It's so lightweight & warm. The only issue is the pockets. The zipper got stuck on the inside material & my keys were inside. I finally got it unzipped with no damage. Lining needs to be sewn down near zipper.

It was big on the bottom

Columbia quality is slipping...been buying Columbia for years, and very disappointed to see that they are downgrading their materials quality. The fleece in this jacket is quite thin, it fits fine, design is good, but fabric is not going to hold up to washes, and the zippers are flimsy. Too bad!

Good spring jacket but the fit was off in the chest area. I am normally a medium and it fit fine everywhere else but in chest. Looked to weird to keep , so unfortunately had to returned.

I'm a bit disappointed. It's not even close to the same color and it's all one solid color (not two different greens). I ordered and XL (18/20). I am a solid 18 and I can barely zip it. Will be returning for possibly the next size...I still haven't decided if I even want it based on how different it is than the website picture.

Far more stylish than a regular fleece jacket, with bomber jacket vibes, but it sadly falls short of perfection. First, the sizing runs small and there is no indication what "fit" it is designed to be. For comparison, I got the Small in this one (Basin Butte Fleece Full Zip Jacket) and the Small in the Zenith Vista Jacket (a trench coat with Omni, listed as Modern Classic/Regular fit). Zenith Vista fit perfectly, while Basin Butte I could barely zip up over my chest. I would swap it for the Medium but there is one design factor holding me back: the spot where the fleece meets the puff/quilt fabric at the belly. The seam curves upward, following and accenting the curve of one's belly. Why?? Who thought calling attention to a customer's potential excess weight was a good idea? Let me end this review on a positive note: the Nocturnal color is beautiful.

Do NOT be fooled into buying the green color jacket if you want it to be different shades of green like the website photos show. I would have loved it if it were different shades like the photos show. However, what I received was a completely different colored jacket where the entire thing was the same shade of dark green. And it looks like others may have received a one-tone green jacket but in a different shade of green. What is going on, Columbia? I expect better from you. And now I have to pay for return shipping too? Ridiculous. Love your products but this is unacceptable. They need to take down these inaccurate photos of the green jacket. It also fits a lot smaller than other Columbia jackets I've ordered in the same size, especially in the bust area.

This item is good quality, don't get me wrong, but fleece is a very common items sold that can be purchased anywhere. The attractive thing about this participar fleece jacket is the contrast with the light and dark green. This is the only reason I purchased this item. The website is incorrectly displaying and describing this item. I saw other reviews that experienced the same situation. I wish Columbia had better description of this item. I know I'm not the only one upset about this. I'm returning the jacket.
