Great Jacket
Stylish and very functional. The length worried me at first as if I wouldn't be able to bend down or squat to get at my children's level to assist them, but it has great stretch in it.

Ideal for Wet Weather
I am extremely pleased with this coat. The deep adjustable hood and the length were big selling points for me. The fabric is lovely, and of course repels water as advertised.
I wanted to clarify a few things from previous reviews for those who like to shop online (like I do).
As mentioned already, this is an ideal coat for the Pacific Northwest, and I will get three seasons of wear out of it. It is functional enough for walking the dog in a downpour, and looks sharp enough to wear as a dress coat. I do not think it would be a good winter coat in a colder climate.
The zipper is very stiff (as mentioned) but I remedied that with a little face powder on the catch (or parafin or whatever trick you prefer would work). It DOES zip from the bottom as well.
It is true that the sleeves are long, but have snap adjustments so that they don't hang over your hands if you don't want them to. If you want a sleeve that ends at the wrist, you will likely not like this. Personally I prefer very long sleeves that go over the tops of my hands, so this was perfect for protecting my clothes.
Finally, I was a bit concerned after reading reviews that I would not be able to wear it over a winter sweater. I ordered medium (I am 5'8", 135 lbs, and I am not very curvy), and it fits beautifully even over my heaviest sweater. That said, it is a fitted coat, and not designed to layer a bunch of fleeces or sweaters under (which I guess is what others were attempting to do), but it should fit fine over your regular clothing.

Best coat ever
I walk 3 miles to work daily and I live in snow country. I wanted a coat that was both stylish and functional. This coat is gorgeous and weather resistant. The black plaid is stylish and sophistocated and the omni heat keeps me warm and dry without the need of extra clothing. I like the fit, roomy enough but still slimming. and the longer length is perfect as a townie coat. I wouldnt mind another inner pocket. but the one I do have fits my iPod nicely.

All columbia products are the best quality out there, UNSURPASSED. This coat is top quality and very functional. Gorgeous design.
I just did not want to return it but I had estimates done to have the sleeves hemmed and it was not worth it to me.
I LOVE THIS COAT. The sleeves were exceptionally long but I think the quality of Columbia is unsurpassed.

Love this jacket
Perfect jacket for Portland's fall/winter/spring seasons. I am 5'9, 135 lbs and the small is a perfect fit. Great length, fitted waist with nice long sleeves.

sleeves too long
this coat was made of lovely fabric, pattern, function - but I showed it to several people around my same size and we all agreed that the SLEEVES ARE EXTRAORDINARILY LONG, LONG, LONG. way out of proportion for my long arms. had to return the coat. return service in the store was very good. While in the store, I tried on the other color - same sleeve cut. another product purchased for my daughter in a different size also had long sleeves. not sure how you think average people are built!

Love it, but a few quirks
LOVE this jacket overall. I have it in black plaid. So cute on: looks great with just about everything. Blocks the wind and rain nicely. Cleans easily. Folds up and unfolds nicely for packing for a trip. VERY nice that it has a hood! Perfect for temps between 35 (with a sweater underneath) and 60 - a nice range for Portland fall/winter/spring.
Quirks: The sleeves are really long. And because of the shiny interior, you can't fold them back. I'm going to have to get it tailored. Also, the zipper is hard to operate. I returned the first one I bought because I thought the zipper was broken. After two wears with the new one, I found it had the same quirk. I think it's a product of the plastic zipper.

Too small
Runs very small, should have two way zipper. only works from top down.
Had several people try on, too small.
Minnesota winters are harsh, need to layer, no room for vest or sweater underneath.

Great gift
This was a present for my daughter. She absolutely L OVES it!
She is inside and outside a lot in her job. She says it keeps her wondefully dry, looks very stylish, and keeps her the right temperature regardless of where she is. We would definitely recommend it!

not warm enough for a cold winter
I get compliments on this coat all the time -- it looks great on. I like the longer length (hits at mid-thigh) and the dark plaid is subtle and stylish. This was my first purchase of Omni Heat, and I must admit I am disappointed. I thought it would be warm enough for the full-on winter, but I don’t think it will. I live in Virginia, so it doesn’t get too cold here, but it definitely gets cold enough! It is, however, perfect for the rain.
PROS: Stylish, waterproof
CONS: Sleeves a little too long, zipper hard to get up, not suitable for very cold days

It's great but not for a Chicago winter
This coat runs a little small in the hips. It has no lining other then the omni heat liner. If you are a warm person your own body heat might be enough I need more then this coat provides. I assumed at 225.00 it would be a winter coat. I was able to go to the Columbia store and find the perfect coat for me instead.

My new go-to jacket!
I love everything about this coat. The A-frame shape is flattering in any woman. The length is classy and looks great with most clothe styling underneath.
The only con is that it runs a little small. I had to go up one size to have it fit comfortably.
The Omni-Heat Reflective technology is so WARM! I barely have to wear any layers underneath. And because it is so warm, the jacket itself is stream-line and not bulky.
It's waterproof and looks brand new after wearing it to two months almost every day, including visiting the dog park. The muddy paw prints just brush off.
Like my Review Title said. This is my new go-to jacket!

The perfect Oregon jacket
Just love this. I'm so glad I bought it. The hood is awesome--great coverage, and I have a big head:) Coat is so cute and perfect for work or play. Great length, weight, and the omni heat lining is amazing. I will wear this all the time.

Love this Jacket
I purchased this jacket about a week ago and I get compliments every time I wear it. The jacket is fitted and flattering but I don't think I could fit a bulky sweater underneath it. I ordered a small and am 5'8" and 125 lbs. The sleeves are a little on the long side. Other than that, I love it.

Dusk2Dawn Jacket A Winner
Great looking jacket with Omni Heat plus a hood! Bought it in the navy plaid which is more subtle than the white/black. Cuffs are adjustable so you can fit them around the wrist. Hood doesn't puff out the back and lies flat against the coat.
