A Popular Columbia Jacket still being made for many years!
I purchased my first Columbia jacket (exact same style as this one) over a decade ago. Its zipper was beginning to malfunction and getting it to zip was a hit or miss.I doubted Columbia still made this years later, but, did a search on amazon and was delighted to find Columbia still makes it!I ordered my usual size large and am delighted to have the very same jacket I use so often in Fall and Spring, back in use!This jacket is the exact same version as my old one made by Columbia.It fits loosely as my old one did, but, that's good since it will accommodate a sweater or whatever underneath on the really cold and windy days.Quality has not changed a bit and the material, stich quality and fit of this new jacket is excellent.I purchased this jacket in may 2025 and it was on a reduced price deal and in fact, about the same cost as my first one 10+ years ago!A wonderful jacket that will get you through 3 seasons on and off and also great for driving during the winter when you want something warm, but, less bulky than a full winter jacket.5 stars all around. So delighted that Columbia still makes this seemingly very popular jacket so may years after buying my first one!

Bought Two of These...Odd sizing...Very nice and warm!!!
So I bought two of these fleece sweaters and both are made well and very warm. Style is comfortable and overall as expected. My only dilema is this. In black this fleece fits a bit snug, but pretty close to the average size large. The tag says large and what not. However I also bought the same fleece in Red and this one fits a bit larger almost like it were an extra large, but not quite as big. Still bigger and more roomy than the black. Again, both say large and all the tags seem correct. As for me, I'm pretty much small enough to wear a large, but also big enough to wear an extra large without it looking too huge. So, what am I to do? Do I keep both knowing one is a big more snug while the other is a bit more roomy? Who knows, but if you were to buy two of these that would be the only way to compare the different feels on these two fleece sweaters that are supposed to be identical in every way except the color. I'm keeping both because they are very comfortable, but again my dilema being the odd sizing between the two colors. I'm tempted to e mail columbia on the issue, but not sure what they will say. I may anyway and if so I will update this review later. Enjoy and keep warm...these fleece sweaters will serve you well.UPDATE: So I returned the smaller size of the black fleece and ordered an extra large one. I got one labeled "L" and fits like the red one which fit more like an extra large fleece. Basically in a nut shell, I'M DONE WITH COLUMBIA. Sizes and quality control cannot be trusted. The sweaters are nice in terms of the fabric, but everyone is making fleeces now. You can get a normally sized fleece at W@lmart and it would probably be more true to the labeled size than gambling on Columbia sizes. Between returning the products, shipping labels, inconvenience, I probably broke even or so had I just bought this retail and picked the size that fit me in person. If you want to gamble on what size you're actually going to get compared to the labeled product and what you actually ordered then by all means keep buying Columbia and figure it out on your own. I'd rate these fleeces at about a 2 stars only because I like the fabric, but its not worth the hassle because Columbia doesn't have their sizes or tags in order. Were these all just one big oops and being pawned off on amazon to clean house, or does Columbia care? Well, glad you asked because I contacted them and their best solution was to order one directly from them instead etc. Really? So if I bought a HONDA from a dealership and the car is all screwed up, then does that mean I have to go to Japan to get it squared away? What's the point? Funny, I used to work for HONDA and they made sure the cars were in order. On the other hand Columbia either cares about the products they are putting their NAME ON, or they don't. From my experience....they don't. You think they are going to issue a recall for these fleeces? NOPE. It's easier to sell them anyway and have people lose money, time, and convenience sending them back and forth to AMAZON because the sizes were screwed up in a factory overseas. I'm surprised Amazon is still selling these with all of the conflicting reviews on the sizing. Sorry COLUMBIA, I own 3 products from you....you're OUT!! No more.

Awesome as always for a great price.
I have always loved Columbia products. And once again, Columbia has gone above and beyond with the quality and fit of this jacket. I’m a short, heavier guy with a big chest. I was worried about getting a large and it fitting my chest, but being too big for my waist. But, it has the perfect fit. I would definitely recommend a large for those who are shorter and between 200-220lbs.

Secure zipper outer pockets, Long at hem, Not perfectly black
I bought this in size Large black. As others have noted the color was more a dark charcoal than a true black. I expected that and I am OK with it. The sleeve length is correct for me but the hem is long. I can wear it, but it has a funny look to it because the hem hangs so low.I primarily wanted the secure zippered outer pockets for cell phone and eye glasses case and it does have those.My front zipper has a hard spot near the very top. It is only noticeable when I want to turn up the collar and get that last bit zipped up to the very top for turtle neck warmth.The fleece isn't as thick and fuzzy as I would have expected, but it is quite warm even though it feels thin.None of these shortcomings is enough for me to send it back. I'll keep it and use it, but it isn't perfect. Because of the cut I could not wear it to any events where I need to look neatly dressed, but for working around the house it is OK.

Love fleece
Bought to replace my Columbia fleece since I've gone down 4 sizes. Checked the local Columbia store and the fleece jackets were kinda thin. Wasn't impressed. Thought I'd try this. VERY IMPRESSED!! Thicker than the ones in the store. Just like my old one! The collar is higher, which I like for keeping the wind off my neck. Great purchase!!!

Reasonable Price and Good Quality
Very nice fleece! Don't pay the extra dollars for the North Face fleece, it's not worth it. Purchased a 2nd one as the cost is reasonable.
