Men's Ascender™ II Softshell - Big 4.5 5 11 11
Columbia wear a 2x but ordered a 3x because description said the item fit small. April 19, 2013
Love It! One of my favorite articles of clothing. This is a versatile jacket that keeps me warm even with temps in the 20s ... and yet is light enough to wear with temps in the low 50s. I love the zippered side pockets, the zippered glasses pocket near the chest, and there are two huge inside pockets for carrying whatever. And the jacket is nice-looking to boot. April 8, 2013
Great Product Fit great, looks great and feels great. I am a built guy and it is very hard to fine clothes and jackets that fit without being really tight in the shoulders finally nice to be able to wear something comfortable. February 11, 2013
If you have shoulders look elswere! OK... I am a big guy (300 lb.), I know I am and so I shop the big guy sizes. Most any other company out there I would buy either a 2 or 3 XLG and be fine. Not so with Columbia - in any of their products!They sized around the middle fine... but forgot that most big guys have big arms and are very broad across the back of the shoulders. I could almost squeeze into the 3x sizes, and even the 4x sizes were tight around the biceps and super tight across the shoulders.Went to a big box mall store and bought a 3x zip out lining coat for $45 instead.I soooo wanted the Columbia stuff, but it just don't fit - they need to do more market research. Also FYI - while I was in the employee store trying stuff on I talked to no less than 3 other big guys who were all having the same problem, and the same issue was in the women's sizes (for my wife) as well.

Great Cool Weather Jacket I was looking for a "medium weight" jacket for wearing outside during cooler temps (40-60 degrees). I find this absolutely does the job. I wear it to the office, while running errands or working/enjoying the outdoors. Once it gets in the low 40's or below I need addtional layers or a heavier jacket. I'd say for the average person it is a good jacket for fall or mild winter conditions. Color matches well to the picture. I'm about 6'2, 300 lbs and got a 3x, which fits really well and leaves space for additional layers underneath. Sleeves may be a tad long, but its fine since they have the velcro strap on the wrists. Love the jacket, already have had several compliments and have at least 2 friends who have ordered the jacket for themselves or someone else as a gift. December 17, 2012
The fit, the fabric and the style passed the test This is a great fall and spring jacket. It has fantastic water shedding ability. The fit is great with a short-sleeved shirt underneath. Long-sleeved shirts fit OK underneath this jacket.The interior fabric feels soft and comfortable. The front zip pocket location is fairly handy. December 12, 2012
Men's Ascender II Softshell I bought this coat for my husband, He absolutely loves this coat. He always wears carhart coats. This coat compares to a carhart with the wind and wet weather of central Ny. The wind does not go thru it and the rain and wet snow repeles off of it. Love the soft shells even for women coats.

Men's Ascender This is a smart looking jacket. Not heavy but really warm. And it's true to size. December 2, 2012
Good BUT I like my jacket but I ordered a 3x because I wanted it to be a little big and when I got it it's almost too small and it's a 3x. Weird. March 16, 2012
"THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT." THE SLEEVES ON THIS JACKET (SIZE 4X) ARE A LITTLE LONG. I USUALLY WEAR A 37 INCH SLEEVE AND THEY WERE LONG ON ME !ON THE OTHER HAND, THE BODY OF THE JACKET IS ON THE SHORT SIDE.COULD HAVE USED A MORE LENGTH IN THE "TAIL" . March 9, 2012
Wife loves it I bought this for my wife and it is the perfect choice for her minimalistic likings. She hates driving with big bulky coats on so she'll just drive without a coat...until I got her this. It blocks the wind, doesn't let the rain or snow in, and is nice and thin. February 29, 2012
