Toasty warm but flawed design
Love the warmth and extras in this coat! It was super warm and the omni heat was amazing. Also loved the cozy fleece around the chin and the pockets are in prefect places. The good is perfect and warm. The good is buttoned on not zipped so it’s a bit odd but overall great. The material is warm and kept me dry in the snow. However the zipper does not go right down to the bottom. There’s a snap at the bottom that constantly opened and the two way zipper constantly opened from the bottom up, even with regular wear just walking and sitting and standing. Therefore it didn’t keep me as warm as I hoped and I had to return it. It made me sad as I loved the function and warmth. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Functional and warm jacket
Excellent quality, functional, and very warm. Ideal for super cold days, both for the city and the mountains. My warmest jacket so far. I love it has several pockets, which allows me to leave the house without my bag and still carry all I need.

Perfect cold weather coat
Don’t get this as a seasonal transition cost - it’s really at home in COLD weather - 20-25 deg F and below. Got this for my daughter for her longish walks to work and her walks with “her” kids - she’s a nanny - and it’s perfect, keeps her toasty warm in even below 0F weather. She normally wears M but that size was too snug; ended up with a L which fits perfectly. Quality is high- to be expected from Columbia. Highly recommend.

Great coat in cold, sleet, rain, snow
Coat fits comfortably, covers a lot, hood protects & stays on head , zippered pockets prevent loss of keys, phone,etc. sleeves fit snuggly without pinch. Overall design is great. Get stopped on street & asked about the coat. Glad to spread the good news.

Zipper keeps unzipping from the bottom
This is over all an absolutely delightful coat. Very well-made and quite beautiful I've received multiple compliments on it. It definitely keeps me warm and dry. It is, however, extremely annoying that the two way zipper keeps unzipping from the bottom. I can't seem to find any way to keep this from happening. With this one exception it is an absolutely wonderful coat

Love this jacket!
Needed a down parka for those long daily dog walks in MN winter. This jacket is perfect. Bulky, but not heavy. Lots of pockets, all within reach. The fur edging on the hood folds out of the way if needed or you can pull it forward to block the wind. Exactly what I needed. My dog is happy because I can stay outside longer now!

IceLandite Jacket
The Icelandite Jacket is one of the best Jackets I have every had. It is very warm and fits very well. It has several pockets which are handy. It has a small strap for the hood to make it a bit smaller which is a big help to me. I love this Jacket.

Omni Heat
I really like the jacket! It is kind of heavy and warm. There are 2 things I don't like. One is it runs small. I got an extra large and it is a little tight in the back and shoulder area. I have an athletic shape so most of the time I buy men's jackets because they fit me better. The second thing I don't like is no omni heat in the sleeves! Why not? I can tell the differences between the warmth in the body and the sleeves.

I bought this coat online and it came perfectly in time for a snow day! Services were cancelled all around the city, and I romped around in my new coat. I love the warmth and fit of this coat. I do wish I could tighten the belt on the back a little bit more, but it's not a big deal. Everything about this coat is warm and snug! LOVE IT!

Great Product, a little large
I live in mild-wintered North Carolina, so this coat might be a little overkill for our typical weather. However, after this winter, I knew that I wanted a quality coat for the month or so of snow and freezing rain that we do have, and I wanted it to look nice.
This coat absolutely keeps the cold out, and the waterproof exterior was exactly what I was looking for. I removed the detachable fur lining for the hood (rain is what we get more than anything else) and it is good for wet weather for sure. I wanted pockets that I could put my hands into with ease and this definitely has it.
In general, I wear on larger side of medium shirts. I deliberately ordered a large in this coat because I wanted to wear bulky sweaters underneath it. However, the coat is large enough that I really think I could have ordered a medium and been just fine.

Awesome Coat
This coat is amazing! It’s beautiful, warm, and functional! I ordered an XL originally and it was too big. I reordered a L and it fits perfectly! It is super comfy and toasty. I got it to wear on my visits to Chicago. By the way, the return process was exceptionally easy! Customer service is awesome!

Very Warm!
This jacket is everything you would expect it to be. Very warm, heavy duty, winter coat with flannel pockets. It is pretty true to size. I have the small and there is still some room in the midsection and enough room to fit a sweatshirt under if needed. Can look a little puffy, but it's a big warm jacket, so I got past that part. Definitely recommend it!

First heat tech jacket!!
I bought this jacket because it had all the features I had been looking for. I live in Minnesota and its so nice to have a jacket that covers down to my knees. No cold wind gets trapped inside the coat, which has been an issue in the past. The only problem I have is the zipper but that is probably because its a new coat. Overall I love it and it keeps me so warm.

Winter coat
I work a job where I get called out in middle of night. So going from a cozy bed to a cold car to works "sucks". This coat stops the wind, rain, and with the lining it stops the cold. I have heated car seats but this keeps your "seat" warm until the car does. Highly recommend especially if you are out. Works great when walking the dog. Easy to move in it. LOVE it.

So Warm!
I absolutely love this coat. I wanted a coat for frigid color temperatures that covered my waist. This coat is SO warm and comfortable! The pockets are amazing and perfect to hold lots of items without feeling bulky. I can wear this coat with a short sleeve shirt and still be warm in below zero temps. I highly recommend this! I normally purchase XS in Columbia but decided to go with Small this time, fits great!

Perfect for Hockey Moms
I looked around for a few months for a great coat I could wear out and about but mostly for sitting in hockey rinks all winter. This one is perfect! It came just in time for our home tourney and I was at the rink all weekend and not even a tiny bit cold! I usually have to wear a hat, mittens, huge scarf, fleece under layers and a sweatshirt. I didn’t even need to wear any under layers! We are also going through a cold snap here in WI, with wind chills in the -20s. I didn’t even feel the wind through the coat while I was running errands. That’s really important to me when I’m out shoveling, too. I’m a big fan of the Omni-Heat! I love the multiple pockets, as well. I can fit my iPhone plus and wallet and charging cables in the bigger ones and still use the upper ones to keep my hands warm. I don’t even need to bring my purse into the rink anymore.
The only issue I have is the zipper is a bit finicky. We will see how that lasts but I’ll happily deal with that to stay warm.
For sizing, I have a medium and it fits great even with a sweatshirt underneath ( I’m 5’ 6”, 135#). Not too large with just a T-shirt beneath. The front hits around mid thigh and the back covers my butt when I’m sitting on the bleachers.

Overall, good jacket with some complaints.
I really love my new jacket, but I have some complaints. When zippered all the way up to my neck, it is uncomfortable since it zippers up so high. It also is a little restricting, but that is pretty minor because I often wear a scarf so do not need it zippered all the way up. It is pretty warm, but I still have to wear multiple layers underneath. I tend to get more cold in the arms because the omni thermal reflective layer does not continue into the arms. It would be better if it was through the whole jacket. I like the length of the jacket (although I do wish it was longer). The bottom button on the jacket tends to unsnap often. Overall, I enjoy my new jacket. It looks super nice, and it is pretty comfortable.

Waterproof and warm
This coat does exactly what it purports to do. It's waterproof and really warm on the coldest NYC days.
My only suggestion is that the faux-fur on the hood is not up to the rest of the quality of the coat. I removed it, but I would have preferred something that looked wearable.

Great, but runs large
I like the coat a lot—just what I was looking for, something very warm and waterproof. My old Land's End down was not cutting it once it got below mid to upper 30's and we've had such a lot of 20's, teens and single digits this winter in NYC! Took it for test spin around the block walking my dog on a 20 degree night and felt good (haven't gotten it wet yet, so can't speak to the waterproofing). I'm just not sure why it's rated as running true to size. I'm 5'4" 120lbs, usually a size 4 or S, according to all the measurements in the size chart small should have been just right, but it was REALLY large—a full size too big even with three layers including a big, thick sweater underneath. The shoulders were huge, the sleeves completely covered my hands like a kid in Dad's coat, and I could grab giant handfuls of extra fabric around the waist even over my thickest wool sweater. Columbia's site didn't have an extra small, but I just found one elsewhere and it fits perfect (I can fit a sweater and still zip and move arms decently) so now that I have the right size I'm thrilled, it's cute, practical (love all the pockets) and very warm. Of course it's a big heavy, sporty winter jacket not a figure flattering fashion statement item, I just wish they'd make these clever technical clothes in some beautiful colors, why must everything be black, grey or dirt colored...the light cloud is a very light cool grey, a little brighter/perkier at least:)

Toasty warm
The length is perfect to keep your bum warm on cold weather adventures. I wore it recently (along with a lot of other layers) on a pre-dawn January excursion to Bear Lake in RMNP. The wind, as always, was howling but I was still toasty warm despite the blowing snow and chilly temps.
I appreciate the number of pockets and the fact that most of them zip securely closed. As a photographer, I'm constantly stuffing sometimes expensive things in pockets while I'm trying to get "the" shot. So lots of secure pockets are a plus for me.
The brown color is a little... dusty. I usually prefer a richer brown, but this one was on sale (and wasn't boring old black) so I'll keep it. I bought this coat for functionality, not fashion after all.

Great Investment for NE winter
I absolutely love this jacket. I was worried about making it through my first winter on the east coast after coming from a state where the temps stay warm. I took a chance and got this coat online hoping the reviews were true. Gladly, they are. This jacket is incredibly warm and functional. It's very comfortable and due to there being two zippers, it's easy to sit down in this long jacket. Although the jacket is long and heavy duty, it is not heavy to wear or carry. Due to the OMNI heat insulation on the inside of the jacket, my body was able to stay warm even when the temperatures were in the single digits. I am just hoping this jacket can last me a good few years. I definitely recommend this jacket for folks that have to experience winters where the temperatures stay below freezing.
I am about 5'6 and 170lbs. I ordered the Large and love it. I can layer it or not without it feeling snug. I honestly could of gotten a Medium but I like the extra room in the Large.

Absolutely love this jacket
I am 5’ 4-5”, about 125 lbs and the small was a little large for me around the waste and on the sleeves. I ended up returning for an xs and it’s perfect. The neck zips up high so you don’t feel any drafts and the coat itself keeps in the heat so you’re really not cold... at all. And that’s coming from someone who is ALWAYS cold. I currently live in Ireland where the cold is damp and gets down to your bones and this jacket was a savior for me.

Great product!
This jacket is exactly what I wanted. Perfect length to cover your bum & thighs. Definitely warm enough to battle even the coldest temperatures. I’ve worn it for 2 snow storms now and it holds up to the weather perfectly. I sized up so I could wear bulky sweaters and scarves underneath but I probably didn’t necessarily need to do that, by the size of the coat it almost seems like they take that into consideration for you. Still keeping my large though, I kinda like the oversized fit. It covers my entire neck and a bit of my face. I’d wear this coat to climb Mt Everest... it’s that kind of warm and comfortable. And has a good amount of pockets without having too much of a “utility” look to it. Overall, I’m very happy with it!

Beware of the zipper
The zipper will go up if both parts of the zipper aren’t all the way down to the bottom of the coat, but then you can’t unzip it. Twice mine was a few mm above the bottom, & I had to step out of the coat to get out.
I love how warm the coat is, & that it has the bottom open zipper to reach your pants pockets if needed. I finally found a coat warm enough for me.

Works so well, I recommended it to my mom the farmer.
I live in Chicago, so I need something for the wind and cold. I also go to my parents farm in Indiana on the weekends with my 5 year old daughter and dog. We like to go sledding in the winter, out in the woods. I needed a jacket that would cover my butt, I could go sledding in it and little twigs would not tear it up. So far this jacket has been great for various weather conditions. The material is good and sturdy, I have already gone sledding several times. My mom the farmer needed something warm and sturdy to take care of the chickens in the winter and I told her that this would be a good jacket for that and she bought one too!

Warm & Comfortable
I recently purchased this coat. I wear a 10 but bought a large. It fits great with a little room for sweater underneath if you desire. It is so comfortable, long enough to keep your legs warms but not restricting. I like that the zipper goes two ways so you open up the bottom when your sitting in a car. I love the material, heavy enough without feeling weighted down. Sooooooo warm!

Super jazzed about this jacket
I am from San Diego but attending graduate school in Boston. I spent a lot of time researching different jackets and I this was the best jacket I found in terms of warmth and features. It is a great length (I am 5'10 and it stops midthigh). The pockets are amazing! I store my gloves and hats in the square pockets and use the pockets above to keep my hands warm. Both sets of pockets are lined and warm and the pockets are at the perfect angle for walking with your hands inside! I love the inside pocket near the zipper I store my Charlie Card and chapstick in there. The omniheat really does keep you warm. I walk on average 3 miles round trip from my apartment to school and I am always warm. Recently I wore just a t-shirt underneath and was still comfortable when out walking and running errands. Also the neck part is lined which is extremely clutch. Many of my friends with other jackets have expressed they wish they had purchased this jacket. I am 5'10, 160 and I ended up getting the XL so I could layer underneath. The jacket is plenty spacious and there are fastners at the bottom so you can tighten it which I did to better adjust the jacket to my body! I have been wearing this jacket for the last two weeks and have absolutely no complaints.

I really like this jacket. I bought this to replace another Columbia jacket I had. Length is great, I love the fleece at the collar. It is a tad big. Wish I would have sizes down as it’s even a tad large when I layer with a bigger sweater but kept it anyway. I like all of the pockets, it has an inside pocket as well

So warm and stylish!
I absolutely love my ICELANITE jacket! The funny thing is, I bought it for a New Years trip to Iceland. I also wore it for the Paris portion of the trip too. It was super warm, waterproof, and stylish. My favorite features are the pockets, hood, and double zipper.
It’s hard to find such a warm jacket that doesn’t make it look like you’re a marshmallow. Not only is the high/low hem functional, it’s also attractive. I’m 5’6”, 125 lbs and the small had plenty of room for extra layers (even though you won’t need them). The adjustable strap on the back is AMAZING! It really helps to make the jacket look and feel fitted.
I typically have problems with coat sleeves being too short but not this one. They are a perfect length and have a sung cuff to help protect against the elements.
I only have two suggestions; add an interior strap for use while traveling and make the hood fur a bit fluffier. The fur in the pictures looked more like a mixed tan color but came as a light gray.
Overall, I highly reccomend this jacket! It was totally worth the cost.

Treating Myself
I recently treated myself to this coat as a replacement for an old coat. I love how the fit is flattering and yet still provides room for additional layers underneath. I wanted a jacket that was longer in order to cover my legs and bum - it makes it feel that much cozier. The drop tail back is a lovely touch, as well as the sherpa-lined collar and the cuffs at the ends of the sleeves. The OmniHeat and TurboDown keep me toasty warm even in our cold Canadian weather. I also enjoy the two sets of pockets, although I find that the top set of pockets is almost too high up on the coat. The detailing at the top of the pocket sits near my bust. However, the placement is perfect for putting your hands in to warm up. As a previous reviewer stated, some fuzz does stick to the exterior of the coat, but it wipes away with little effort. The fact that it is machine wash is also a huge bonus! (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Excellent winter coat
I am very, very happy with the warmth and quality of my coat. I normally wear a size medium in a coat but wear a size large in this style of Columbia coat. It is a longer style which I like because it keeps my rear-end and legs warm yet it does not feel bulky. Love the many pockets. I recommend this coat. The silhouette is interesting and adds some style. The cut is shorter in the front and slightly longer in the back adding visual interest.
