Best winter coat EVER
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.

Got as Xmas present for my wife. She loves the jacket. Warm enough to wear to walk around NYC in the dead of winter but also nice enough to wear somewhere casual in the city.

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.

Great coat
I wore this coat arleady few times. It is very warm - what I look for. The only down point is that material is stacked when trying to zipped it. I have close it very slowly to avoid that issue. Besides that very good coat.

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.

Worth the price!
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!

I don't like this coat
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.

Turbodown 550 Alphin Escape Jacket
It seem that this jacket is a good one for cold weather it has a good insulation however its shell material is nylon which is a negative side of the product according to me. It would be perfect if the material includes polyester instead of nylon.

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!

Super warm, but...
I bought this coat online after looking a couple styles in store - but not this one. It is the length I was looking for (to cover my booty in the car) and had the fur trim hood I want for downtown excursions. (the Windy City) After getting it and trying it on, I felt it was a little bulkier than I was hoping for, but with down, you get that. I hate the stitch lines of the lighter weight coats, and this doesn't have that, so I was ok with the more bulk vs. ugly stitch lines. The hand warmer pockets are great! The hood comes farther forward than needed - like 6" past my face - and the adjustment in the back is for about an inch, if that. I decided to keep it though, despite those facts. However, I know have a touch of buyers remorse. This coat is bulky, heavy, and the hood is just too much. The exterior fabric is also a bit noisy and collects every spec of lint or dog hair you can pick up. On the plus side, the omni-heat interior definitely makes a difference, it is super warm, but I won't be sneaking up on anyone! LOL!

Very warm! My only qualms are the zipper gets stuck on the seam in a couple spots, and as always with down, the feathers poke through. By far the warmest jacket I have ever worn.

heavy
If you want a lightweight and comfortable jacket, this is not for you. I bought this as a gift for my mom but I tried them on first. This is heavy and looks huge on you. I feel like I'm wearing a space suit and became light headed after trying them on due to its bulk. I also have a hard time zipping them as the zipper seems to get stuck in the middle. I know my mom will not be wearing this. Totally returning this coat.

Almost Perfect
I love this winter coat in every single way except for the freaking zipper. The length is perfect. It's so warm and I love the color (the bluish one). This zipper gets me so frustrated tho. I read in another review that I may need to do some surgery on the zipper so I'll be looking into doing that. I just shouldn't have to.

I bought this for my fiancé and she absolutely loves it! It has kept her very warm with reflecting heat material and the down feathers, even in Michigan’s cold weather. The parka fits like a charm, and the thickness is warm but not chunky. She really loves it and she can’t recommend it enough!

Winter coat fro. New Foundland
Purchased coat for a winter vacation in New Foundland. Coat is well made, no tue to size fit.
I am 5’ tall and 130 pounds I normally take a medium, the coat is tight around the chest and hip. Coat lengt reaches my knees.
Zipper is very hard to get started.
I have not worn it out in the cold so I can’t review say how warm it is.
I will be returning coat and shopping in the Columbia outlet store.

Shapeless
Ordered this online (big mistake). It was so much bigger than pictured online and although I’m a pretty true medium (5’6” and 130lbs) the jacket felt warm but also huge and shapeless. Brought it back to my nearest Columbia store, where they were less than helpful in finding a replacement. Pretty bummed!

Formidable
It was obvious that the parka would be very toasty, but it was also obvious for me like wearing a tent. I am 5' and wear a 16W. It all sits at the hips. No Plus sizes for this style, but I was within size chart specs for XL. Yet sausage tight at the hips.
It is a heavy (approx 3lbs) but on Mt. Hood in a storm, THIS IS a coat you would want. (One tough mother to another.)
From head to toe:
even with peripheral adjustment, hood so vacuous it fell over my face
collar zipped and snapped blocked my vision
chest very loose, but OK for XL proportioned woman
sleeves kimono long; rolling up no good
hips tight hips, but as tribute to the craftsmanship, hands slipped into both sets of pockets easily with room to spare
hem hit me mid-shin. snow would pr'lly cover the hem when I walked, and I would fall on my face
But I am sending it back to try an interchange. This coat will make someone very happy! #SnowQueengown

Very warm, learned how to fix zipper
I've worn this out in our early Michigan winter and it's very warm. There were two problems, but now only one. First, like others have noted the feathers do escape. It's unfortunate but to keep it breathable I'm ok with that. The second was the zipper which is now FIXED. If you're also struggling, go grab your coat! The very last tooth on the zipper is a bit too close to the end cap, so it sticks out just a bit, thus causing the zipper to catch. Grab some needlenose pliers and very carefully remove that one tooth. Fixed! Before you go doing surgery on your coat, though, please inspect it to make sure this is the problem as it was with mine - if you do not see this bottom tooth sticking out oddly (they should lay completely flat and parallel to each other) do not do this. Otherwise, cheers to a happy ending! Thank you Columbia for making a waterproof WARM coat, I hope to wear this in both Michigan and in my future travels.

Great warm coat!
Bought this coat for visiting my sister in Chicago and wore it for the first time this weekend. It’s VERY warm, didn’t feel any of the Chicago wind through the coat. It’s in the 20’s, but of course the wind chill make it feel colder. My only complaint is the zipper is a bit sticky, but hopefully that will losen up with use. My sister loves the coat so much she wants one too!
