Incredible coat
This coat is beautiful and extremely warm. This is perfect for Minnesota winters. I’m 5’9”, and a size 10-12 and the large fits perfect. I can easily wear sweaters underneath this. If I didn’t want to layer under the coat, I probably could have gone with a medium. The jacket comes almost to my knees and the sleeves are plenty long. I always have a problem with jacket and sleeve length because of my height and arm length, but not with this coat at all. So happy with my purchase.

Warm & comfy
I'm glad I got this coat before the polar vortex hit the midwest in January. It kept me warm and toasty when the windchill was well below zero. I'm not a huge fan of the fur hood trim so I'm glad it was removable.
The cuffs are a great feature, the interior collar snugs up nicely against the neck without being too cloying, and the pockets are well placed. Definitely would recommend this to others.

Great coat, sticky zipper
Zipper does stick. Took a little getting used to, but now I've figure out the trick. You need to hold the fabric aside right where it catches and it's usually ok. Otherwise, great coat.

Great jacket but not for me
Wanted this jacket to work out for me but it just didn’t fit right on me. I am 5’1 and although it was exactly what I wanted in style and warmth, the length was a little too long for my liking. Bought it in XS and S to test out the difference but XS was a little too snug and S fit right just the length wasn’t working. Recommend if you’re gifted with height!

Super warm, tight on hips
This jacket's kept this Californian native warm down into the low teens, so I'm really pleased with it! My only beef is that it's more tapered than I thought it would be around the waist and especially the hips - I got the medium and am 5'3"/usually wear a size 6 pant, for reference. If I try to layer with anything bulky it's tight to zipper up. Fortunately it's so warm that I really don't need to layer up much for where I live now. Other fit stuff: falls to just around my knees, great on my broad shoulders.
I don't find the zipper too difficult if I reach down and straighten up the tracks before going at it.

It was definitely warm to wear in winter days, esp snowy days, however the bottom of the zipper sometimes doesn't work that well.
Overall , I am very satisfied with this jacket and will recommend this one for sure.

Great coat winter downtown!
I absolutely love this coat! I walk about 6 blocks from my parking garage to my office and this coat keeps me so warm in 20 degree weather (plus a windchill)! When I take it off the omniheat liner holds my body heat for quite a while. I am 5’3 and 110lbs and purchased this coat in an XS. It is not form fitting and honestly not very flattering, but with that said there is room to layer underneath if needed. I thought about sending it back for being too large, but I’ve grown to love the fact that I can throw it over my large bathrobe to let the dogs out! The length is perfect, it hits my knees so when I wear boot socks and tall boots there is very little room for cold air to get in. Feathers do escape the inside of the coat, so I do not recommend wearing black with it unless you have a lint roller handy. Also, the faux fur on the hood sheds, but that easily detaches if it’s a big deal to you. I purchased this coat to keep me warm on my way to work and that’s exactly what it does!

the warmest coat ever!!! Love it
I normally have to "super Layer" and at the same time get uncomfortable with so many layers. I had to wear my scarf and a sweater under my coats... well! not with this coat!!! I don't need my scarf nor my sweater underneath... It's a bit long and uncomfortable when getting into my car, but I can't say I would trade it for anything.

Design Needs Improvement!
Columbia stands behind it's products. My Alpine replaced, with full credit, an EvaPouration 3-in-1 (which I loved) that was defective. The first Alpine was exchanged because the zipper did not work. The one I have now is tricky & takes too much time to zip. The hood is oversized and looks goofy. The jacket is very heavy especially if I need to carry it around. (The EvaPouration served me well when I traveled to the coldest part of China & I could roll it up or separate the outer shell when needed.) HOWEVER, THE ALPINE IS INCREDIBLY WARM eliminating the need for layers. A few improvements would make it excellent.

Great but could be better
I generally buy all my winter stuff from Columbia and I saw this jacket and decided to take advantage of the deal. However, when I tried the jacket, it felt a little tight on my bottom. The bottom zipper had to be open a bit because my legs didn’t have freedom to walk. When you sit down you also don’t feel comfortable until you open the zipper.i have another jacket and I don’t have that issue. Other than that, the jacket is great!! Very warm for the very cold weather! Even in Chicago you wouldn’t feel a thing.

Zipper does't work
I am returning this item even though I love the coat because it is IMPOSSIBLE to zip up when wearing it. My husband could zip it for me when kneeling down in front of me, but the zipper design makes it impossible to zipper yourself. Really poor design.

Most heartbreaking return
I immediately fell in love with this coat when I opened the package - the color (Nori), the quality of the material, the weight, the technology, I was even impressed with the pocket placements with fleece lining!
Regretfully, I purchased a size that was too big. I attempted to exchange it for a smaller size, but learned it'd been sold out for quite some time. I was truly sad to return this coat, but should it be restocked, I'll surely buy it again and recommend it to others.

Good look and warm (only wore a t shirt)
It is a nice looking coat. I was very excited to wear my coat for the first time today, first cold day. The coat was very warm. I only wore a tshirt under and was perfect. I think it works off my body heat. It is a wet cold here in the DMV, and I walk down some windy DC streets for work. This coat will surely protect me without having to wear a ton of layers under it. I usually wear a size 8/Medium and the Medium fit great.

Warm and Stylish
This coat manages to be both stylish and warm at the same time. I was looking for a parka that wasn't too bulky, puffy or flashy but could keep me warm in cold Minnesota winters. The length is great and this truly keeps the cold out. It also has a minimalistic silhouette that won't suddenly be out of style in a few years. It is also clearly very high quality. I looked at a lot of coats over the past few months and am so happy with this one!

Best winter coat EVER!!!! I live in NYC where temps can FREEZING. I can wear this coat with only a t-shirt on and still be warm, sometimes I have to zip it down a bit...the inside is insulated so it makes you feel like your a turkey in one of those oven bags...lol Best part: DEEP POCKETS AND REMOVABLE FUR HOOD!!!

Girlfriend wanted her hips to stay warm...
I got this as a gift a year ago for my girlfriend. She normally fits sizes between XS and S, so to be safe I went with the S at first. We had to exchange it for an XS as the S was way to big. With the right size, she loves this jacket! We live in Chicago, so downtown is always colder than further in. She really likes that the jacket goes down to below here knees, which helps with the wind.
Pros
- Warm and Dry, even in Zero (F) degrees with just a few light layers on she feels comfortable.
- THE POCKETS. Yes ladies, this has so many pockets that I am often fishing around in them for a few mins to find where she has left her phone!
Cons
- The zipper. I often have to help her with the zipper because when wearing the coat it can be difficult to reach the zipper and with the duo direction zipper aligning them is a struggle. To be fair, I even have a hard time zipping it for her!
- The neck padding. It is nice for keeping the cold out, but a little to tight for her liking.
Overall, She is happy with the gift and I am happy if she is comfy and warm! I would recommend this over jackets two to five times it's price.

A fantastic jacket! - with a terrible zipper!
I bought this coat with high hopes and eagerly awaited its arrival. I live in coastal Maine where winters are long and harsh and as soon as I opened the package I knew I’d found a WINNER! This coat is amazing- waterproof, super warm, with great pockets. Unfortunately it also has the worst zipper I’d ever encountered. I put the coat on and simply could not zip it up. I tried over and over and the zipper would stick at the bottom. I took the coat off and placed it on a chair facing me. I tried the zipper and POOF! Up it went! I stepped into the coat and admired myself in the mirror. I showed my family and everyone oohed and ahhhed. But then I unzipped the coat and again tried the zipper while the coat was on. NOPE. Again, it stuck and remained stuck at the bottom. My husband came to help me, and HE was able to zip me into the coat! But as soon as I unzipped it, I was unable to zip it again whilst inside. So, basically I’d purchased a beautiful, wam coat I loved but would either have to zip and then step into each wearing or be zipped INTO- like a child! Wahhh. Sadly, I returned the coat. If you can get one without a wonky zipper, you will be pleased. But I was not so lucky. For reference, I am 5’10” and weigh 135 lbs and the medium fit well.

Almost a perfect coat
This coat will keep you warm and dry and is a great value for the price. It runs a little snug thru the hips if you are a curvy girl but you can unzip it from the bottom when sitting down. Although the fur on the collar can be removed, the hood cannot be removed, which is a little annoying. Overall, I would recommend this coat.

Great choice
I needed a good winter coat and I chose Columbia because I know that they have great products. I chose a size bigger because I like to wear my clothes in layers. When I received the coat, I was pleased with the style, comfort and size. The coat is extremely warm for cold weather and I don’t need to wear many layers.

my 1st columbia jacket
I'm disappointed in this product. to the point of angry.
Not that it runs big as i couldve gotten one size smaller. Is all the hype about 550 fill and warm and insulated. is hardly any down in it and with a sweater under it out in the city in 40 degrees with slight breeze, my chest was freezing!!!
there is no insulation or not much anything along the zipper! is 4 inch on both side is just thin fabric, i mean is not keeping my chest protected or warm at all. no anything as filling, now i know "turbodown means some poliester and very little down if any.
Yes the rest of it , like sleeves and back is warm because insulation is reaching there, it is very warm INdoors! but not outdoors.. i really hate this coat!
i got another jacket that is titanium haS EVEN LESS FILLING AND HARDLY ANY DOWN, not try it outside yet but i can see same problem ..along the zipper is 3-4 inches just fabric with no fill.
i will just use my 100 percent down coat that protects every where and is warmer than this overhyped ped "turbodown" product.

I absolutely love this jacket.. It’s true to size in my opinion. The only thing I didn’t get it that it has 2 zip sliders in one chain/zip line, one on the top and one on the bottom. I didn’t get it’s purpose. Otherwise all in all very good purchase.

Soooo warm!
Jacket runs big but I usually like them with a little room to layer. Wore this jacket to 30 degree weather in New England, while walking the dogs and never felt so warm and toasty! The zipper is a little weird where most days it’s so easy to slide in and zip up, sometimes, it’s a battle. Other than that, I’m very happy with my purchase!

Super Warm for Freezing New England Winter
I needed a very warm coat for walking to and from the commuter train during the New England winter. I chose this coat in black. I'm 5'9", 150lbs and the size Large fits perfectly. I especially like the length. It comes down to my knees, which is exactly what I was hoping for. When waiting for the train, this coat is long enough that I sit on it instead of the freezing cold metal bench. It is a must have for any New England closet.

Warm and Resistant
I bought this jacket when I went to college just east of Lake Michigan. During the freezing temps, snow storms, and windy days, the jacket kept me warm, dry, and comfortable. The product was a little snug when wearing heavier clothes such as sweatshirts and sweaters, so I would recommend buying it a size larger than you would normally wear. I'm excited to use this jacket hiking in addition to walking through campus!

Disappointed of Columbia. The hairs of the hood is detached, the cloth grabs a lot of fluff and for worse the filling comes out and the lining of the interior hangs on the back. I think to buy more but I don't believe that More.

Everything I’ve been looking for
All of my friends are jealous of this jacket. And for good reason! It’s ticked all of my boxes - incredibly warm, real down, wind proof, waterproof, lots of pockets (that button, not zip), hood that’s generous with fur, and slimming! I LOVE THIS JACKET. I didn’t have an issue with the teeth that has been mentioned in other reviews. It does take a second to start but once you do, it’s smooth. I do have the issue with feathers like others. BUT it’s breathable. A fine trade off. I find that I don’t have to take this jacket off when I go inside a building. Because it’s so breathable. If you think you’re between sizes, size up so you can wear a heavy sweater under it. Though I haven’t needed to - Ive worn the jacket with and without sweaters and have been perfectly warm. I’ve worn this jacket in 17 degree windchill and felt nothing get through it. I’m excited to see how it holds up come January.

550-level turbodown
This coat runs true-to-size and is extremely comfortable. The coat can be a bit heavy while carrying but wearing it is not a problem. I’m 5’2” and ordered an xs and the fit is perfect; the length goes down to my knees, keeping the top half of my legs warm (which get cold easily normally!). I also love the fact that it has 5(!!!) pockets which is so hard to find in women’s coats normally.

Runs small, great coat
This coat has everything (dots in the sleeves, snaps instead of velcro, love the two sets of pockets, the internal phone pocket, and the long length) but ordering online the sizing is off. It's tight with a sweater, but maybe that's not necessary because it's really warm. Trying to decide if I should keep it because it's hard to zip at the bottom because of the smaller size and I don't want to have to keep messing with the zipper. Now, there are no larger sizes anywhere so that's not an option. When in doubt, order the larger size!
