more like a spring jacket

Fabric too thin... more like a spring jacket, but beautiful.

It being time to replace my battered old-faithful down jacket, I searched high and low to find something that complemented my shape while accomplishing its mission of keeping me warm in spring and fall and serving as an underlayer in winter (under a shell parka). I was surprised to find that this jacket is pretty much useless in the keeps-you-warm department, at least in New England. One would expect that it would keep you warm on a windless mid-40s day, but no. Then add some wind ... the seams are sewn-through ... and your teeth start chattering. On top of that, it has the weirdest fit at the hips ... very tight ... and I am a very not-hippy 5'2 and 110 pounds. So, if looking good is more important than staying warm, and you are shaped like an inverted triangle, this coat is for you. If your mama brought you up to be practical, then continue searching.

This jacket is a pleasant surprise.  It is a little different than I thought, but it goes with lots of different colors and is very light weight for cool spring time.  The biggest problem I have with it is the front zipper doesn't always zip up and down easy.

difficult to zip up. Zipper needs to work more freely, other than that it is a nice spring jacket.

The xs fits like a small so I had to give it to my mom so it wouldn't be waisted. The fabric is high quality and the liner is thin which would be best for an early small and spring jacket. I really like the jacket, I just wish I could wear it.

This is a cute coat with a very flattering cut, but it's thinner than I'd expected. The material is more like a thin fleece overshirt than a thick winter wool. It'll be great for early spring or late fall if worn over a long-sleeved shirt or sweater, but it's not warm enough for winter wear.

The jacket is actually very nice. Bought this for my daughter for a gift. She normally wears either a Medium or Large. Ordered this in a Large so there would be room for her to wear a sweater or layers underneath. She tried it on Christmas morning and could zip it up, barely- wearing a tank top. Skin tight, no way that normal clothing could be worn underneath. It was specifically to tight through the chest and she is NOT large busted. (B cup) It was very disappointing- the jacket is sporty- we got it in White and what I thought were purple accents turned out to be blue-- it was very nice looking.  The seaming was attractive to the body. It was nicely lined with fleece. There were ample pockets for keys, cell phone, wallet, etc. I had it in mind as mainly a rain jacket but it could definitely have been worn every day in a cool climate- not cold snowy climes, but perfect for  the rainy winter season in Cali. The reason for 3 stars is the small sizing, plus the inability to exchange the jacket for a larger size without having to pay a now higher price.

In absolutely no universe is this a coat. the material is about as thin as you would expect a spring hoodie to be.

I am a bit disappointed in this. I thought it would be warmer. It is cute and will be good in spring weather.

I am 5'8" and 200lbs and this jacket fits nicely in the body.  The arms are crazy long and the hood doesn't fit comfortably over your head, and the material is VERY THIN.  This is a shell, not a jacket.

It is a very cute jacket, and I get a lot of compliments on it.
I was excited to see a 3-in-1 in a longer length.  However, this is not very warm.  I thought all Columbia 3-in-1s were supposed to be very warm, but this doesn't cut it in Minnesota winters.  I'll be keeping it as a lighter jacket for warmer winter time (like in the 30's), since I already washed it and can't return it.

In terms of fashion, this jacket is not my favorite. Also, the material is heavier than expected and the jacket does not breathe. I live in the Seattle area and the current weather is very mild, so this jacket would be too hot to wear at this time. I think it will be useful later in the fall or winter when it's very cold and wet outside.

Be aware there is no lining whatsoever in this jacket, which is likely why the price is so low. My son wears a hoodie under it, which works for early spring.

It looks really good, but this is definitely an indoor/early fall kind of jacket, it doesn't keep you warm. I also recommend going up a size when buying it.

I have one of these jackets for working in the woods in the light brown (no longer available), and I love it, wearing it everyday for three seasons in the year. I  bought this one in black for street wear. The design has been changed and the medium is much bigger than the one I own. It feels like a large.
I exchanged the medium for a small, and the body fits well enough, but the sleeves are too long and too narrow. I can't comfortably wear a thick sweater under the jacket.

Every time I put the jacket on, I wish I had another jacket to wear instead.

This coat is comfortable and poofy, but it isn't very warm. It is nice for early Fall or Spring time but not for Winter. I was hoping that it would be warmer.

Whereas the fabric is rain resistant the shoulders seems discolored after just a couple times out in the rain - I was really disappointed by this.

Purchased this for my husband to wear at work. Definitely not a warm jacket, we thought it would be a little thicker than it was. More of a spring or fall jacket. For the price the quality was okay, wish it was a bit thicker.
