Customer Reviews Columbia Windgates™ Tech Fleece Full Zip

This jacket is so comfortable and warm. I like the long sleeves and outer shell material. Cons: The cuffs are quite tight. This is good to keep warm air in but its almost uncomfortably tight. I hope they stretch over time. Also the body flares out with no adjustment. But it fits well where it counts.

I followed suggestions and ordered a size up. I normally wear a small but got medium. I received it and was so tight on the arms that if I bent my elbows, I cut off circulation. I ended up giving it to my daughter and ordering a large. It too is tight but doable. Otherwise, it fits fine. I am 5'8" and 125lbs. I have skinny everything, so beware of you don't have super skinny toothpick arms.

Slightly smaller/tighter than expected; medium definitely fits like a small. Overall great fit. Nice length. Great sweater! Perfect for chilly mornings or chilly summer nights. Very comfortable!

Beautiful color and style. Sleeves are a little tight. Will be difficult wearing it over another shirt. Overall jacket fits snug.

Bought this online because it was a great deal. I usually like to try on first, but have a few Columbia jackets, so thought I had a pretty decent idea on fit. I was right and wrong. The body fits as expected, but the wrists are so tight I can barely fit my hands through. I know I don't have small hands and am not a small person, but I do feel as though they're proportionate, and to be barely able to pull my hands through (with a ton of effort) and then have it so tight on my wrists it feels incredibly uncomfortable seems like a total fail for an otherwise comfortable jacket.

Only got it today March 26th so I haven't gotten a chance to try it out as far as the coolness goes but I will say it does run big I did order a small and it does not hug the body is very loose fitting I am 5"3 115/120 Slim /workout ,& And just as the reviews that the arms going down to the wrist is very slim !!! Unless you have small skinny arms don't buy will be hard to take off it good for me as I don use the finger hole sport thingy haha but I should have gotten xs

I love this jacket. But the sleeve holes are soooo tight. It was so hard to get my hands through them.

This could have been the cutest and nicest jackets I've seen in a long time, but like 3/4 of the reviewers said, (and I agree wholeheartedly), that wrists of the sleeves are Ridiculously TIGHT! This jacket was not made for women, as the sleeves would fit my 7 year old granddaughter!! I'm really disappointed that Columbia would even have made this! They usually have the very best clothes, but not this!

I normally wear size medium in all Columbia jackets, and generally the sleeve length is perfect even with thumb holes built in. This jacket fits my torso perfectly, but the sleeves with thumb holes run tight and a little bit short. I'm going to size hoping the large is better.

Love the color. Cuffs at wrists are very tight, unable to check watch. Flairs out in the back.

Good quality , runs small, very tight at wrist , I had to roll it up to get my watch on. overall nice soft jacket . Other than the wrist issue I would recommend.

I love how this fleece looks on me but the sleeves are so tight around my hand and wrist. I'm 5 2' 130 lbs. so I would say its the jacket and not the size of my wrist or hand. I'm hoping the sleeves will stretch out so i will keep you posted. The jacket runs a tad snug, which is fine because I plan on wearing it as my first layer.

Cute and very comfy, but it runs a full size too small. Runs very tight in the arms as well as in the body.

I recently wore this for golf and I really liked it. The problem was the sleeves are way too tight to get even a thin long sleeve shirt underneath. The sleeves are also way too tight to push up to your elbows. If you're OK knowing it's going to be the only piece you're going to be wearing it's OK. This is a piece I probably won't wear as much in the office as I would've liked.

Disappointed. The construction and materials are great quality. However the sleeve tapers at the forearm-wrist. It is extremely tight, that I had to buy a size up and that is also extremely tight. The outside pockets are different sizes which is unusual and feels like a mistake. Due to the wristband being so tight it's impossible to use the thumb holes.

Body fits appropriately but the sleeves have a long cuffs that are very tight. Could not even raise it to look at my watch

Very small sizing, and cuffs are ridiculously small - couldn't even get my hand thru the cuff! Quality of jacket otherwise was great, I was looking forward to zip pockets, hood, and thumbholes but alas, it's going back.

The jacket was nice quality fabric but the sleeves were extremely tight around the forearms and wrists so I sent it back

I usually wear a large but followed the advice of reviews and ordered a size up to XL. The body fit well but the sleeves were so snug that I couldn't get a long sleeve top into them. I was hoping with sizing up the sleeves would also be larger. The inside fleece was also not as expected...very smooth and short...not even as substantial as a micro fleece. I'll be returning this jacket.

Material is great - sleeves are too narrow and do not correspond correctly to the size

I am 5' 2" and 113 lbs. I bought this in XS. It fits pretty well, except that the cuffs are incredibly tight around the wrists. I have really small hands and narrow wrists, but these cuffs are so tight as to almost cut off the circulation! They're also made from some kind of thick fabric, so I can't even stretch them out. And the thumbholes are unusable because then your whole hand is constricted. Very disappointing!

Great fit every where except the wrists that were so tight they hurt my hands. I had to return. :(

Loved the look and feel of this jacket BUT it was made all wrong. The size ran extremely small with the arms not even able to be put on. I have purchased other Columbia jackets and had no issues. This XXL jacket was tight in the arms for my Adult small daughter.

To small to fit me had to return company like Columbia don't think about the larger women that have

Sleeves are way too tight and therefore uncomfortable. I do not recommend this product.
