Customer Reviews Columbia Little Si™ Insulated Parka

Fabric great. Warmth great, style great, fit good except too small around waist so it's going back.

I have to send it back. It is a beautiful jacket but it doesn't fit at all. I am 5'11" and wish Columbia would offer tall sizes for women and not just for men

Runs on the smaller size but does keep you warm and Protected

I bought this based off the model pictures and it's very long compared to the model pictures. I am 5'4 and bought a small. It comes about 2 inches above the knee vs mid-thigh like the pictures.

This coat was a Christmas gift from my husband that we shopped for together online Christmas Day. It took us a couple of hours in several websites and this coat is the one we finally chose. I weight lift so am broad the rough my arms and shoulders and wanted to make sure I had enough room in the coat to wear sweaters and layers if wanted. This checked all of my boxes except in length, I'm 5'4 and this coat just barely covers my butt. I would have liked it to go right above my knees or to my shins. This coat was over my budget so I was disappointed to find out the morning after we ordered it less than 12 hours later it went on sale and the price was reduced by seventy dollars, bummer.

Nice parka! L fit me almost perfectly without a sweater, but with a sweater it was a little too snug in the arms so I sized up to XL. The collar/neck on the XL is a little too high but not a deal breaker. Also, unfortunately the side pockets are not good. These are too shallow (your phone WILL fall out) and awkwardly placed. I also wish the side pockets were lined on both sides instead of just one - as is, they are not very warm. Overall though, it is a warm and cozy jacket. I just wish the pockets were better.

Well made and fits well, but shorter and thinner (not as warm) than expected.

I have worn my new coats only a few times, but I can vouch for how warm it is! The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because it's not perfect. To be perfect, I wouldn't feel the tightness in the arm pit area. I love the ability to keep the cuffs tucked into my gloves.

It is very warm and wind resistant! It feels like good quality!

I live in the lower peninsula of Michigan and i got this coat for our 10-30 degree F winters. I love the length, it covers my rear-end;). The length of the sleeves is great and i love that the hood can be tightened around my face so it doesn't blow off. The fit is unflattering without the waist straps(on the inside).

nice jacket, seems very warm and high quality. Returned because it was a little puffier than I was looking for.

Coat went on sale less than a week after ordering. Customer service was not empowered to simply make a price adjustment. They wanted me to send the jacket back ( it had not even been delivered yet!) and purchase another to get the sale price! That seems like a lot of unnecessary effort and expense of money and time on both of us

Love Omni heat! This coat had some of the features I was looking for, such as inline side pockets. But a different model Columbia jacket had a few other features I wanted. It's a close second though!

This a must have for winter season; however, I'd think it twice to wear it for temps higher than 50 F because it gets too hot. Also, they run a little big. I am 115 Lbs and ordered a size S and I have plenty of room for a thick sweater and scarf but again, it gets too hot. I'd liked a better fit but it works for the purpose.

Currently wear a medium coat by Colombia in a long style, but saw reviews and sizes up to large. It was still too snug in hips. Weird sizing. Also very heavy, good for only coldest temps imo

Great warm parka! The fit is as described. Warm jacket love the hood with the lining of fur. I wish that it had the chest pockets, that be women see women's Si jacket has.

Absolutely loved this coat but the arms were so tight i had to return it. The rest of the coat fit ok.

I was worried about the fit of this, I'm overweight and short, but thinner waist area. This jacket fits great, goes past my butt which is what I wanted. I really enjoy that I can tighten the waist area, to give some shape to my body/jacket. It's really warm and I like that the hood covers my whole head, as I also have a big head. So it can be hard to find a large hood. I thought it was a fun feature that I could button or unbutton the piece on the back on the bottom, to allow for more movement. There's 3 button lengths to choose from. Some things that I don't care for, I wish the inside of the hood was lined with something soft or fuzzy so I don't hear the swooshing of the fabric everytime it moves. I wish the fabric in the sleeves weren't as loose, maybe more stitching on the inside? And it woulda been nice to have one of the 2 hand pockets to be zippered. Also maybe the horizontal hand pockets coulda been lined on both sides with soft warm fabric instead of just the one side.

After looking around at other companies for a new winter coat, I decided this was the one. I really love the quality zipper and the button snaps - especially on the pockets. Speaking of pockets, I am thrilled that there is an outer breast pocket and an inner breast pocket - I love pockets! It took me a while to like the comfort cuffs with thumb holes but after wearing the coat for a bit, I'm used to them. My only suggestion would be to make the comfort cuffs a little looser as they're tight and they tend to trap in heat, making my wrists feel sweaty - it's also hard for me to get to my Apple watch with them on. But overall, I'm very pleased with this coat and it's already kept me warm and dry me through a couple Utah snow storms!

This Jacket seems durable and warm. Loved the fabric and color. However, I typically wear a small but after reading all the reviews, I ordered a medium. I ended up returning it because it was HUGE. I wasn't able to do an even up exchange. Had to pay to return. Decided not to reorder the smaller size.

Based on reviews I sized up, but I should have ordered a medium which is my true size. The hood is a bit annoying as the fur comes in your face. Maybe that will get fixed over time of it fluffs up.

I ordered my parka per the sizing instructions and it fit perfectly. The sleeves are narrow, so a bulky sweatshirt or sweater doesn't fit well, however I don't need it because the parka keeps me nice and warm without overheating while shoveling snow or hiking.

Ordered an XXl, I'll give to my 6'2" daughter, fits her well, I ordered myself a xl, fits better, covers bum, sleeves are good!

This coat is super light weight and very comfortable! I love the appearance. Very feminine and can be adjusted at waist for a more tailored look. Not a huge fan of the pockets. They're large but awkward as far as access and using for hands. There are no hand warming pockets, which is a bummer. I HATE the zipper!!!! Columbia has failed epically with zippers lately. It's a pain ti use and it gets stuck. It's very cheap and flimsy. Warmth rating I'd give it a medium. I stepped outside in it when it was 10 degrees and wasn't freezing, but I wasn't toasty either. I would need extra layers. I imagine for a brisk walk this would be okay, but if you're not active, you won't be warm just relaxing in Midwest winters.

I love this Little Si Womens Parka. It is attractive and very well made. Lots of snaps...one at the very bottom to prevent the zip from opening when sitting and another three at the back to open for more room if needed when walking. The fabric is sturdy and soft and dog hairs are easily brushed off. More than adequate pockets. The zip needs some practice but I am satisfied with it. Love the adjustable waist at the back and the adjustable and removeable hood. It took me many months to find this Parka and many previous parkas returned. The Women's Little Si Parka is the best. I have not tried it yet with super low temps. It was in the 20s here in the Pacific NW and more than warm enough with a layer. Love that it is waterproof and breatheable. I am with holding one star until I can try this in the rain or a really wet snow. I am allergic to feathers and down so I am thrilled with this jacket. I have also learned that it is important to purchase special soap and re-waterproofing when cleaning the jacket. REI sells a package of the 2 and Columbia may have their own as well.
