"I returned the first jacket because the nap flattened and would not return to the stand up position giving the appearance of a stain."
"Very nice looking."
"This has worked really well for me, it was a bit smelly to start but that out gassing has faded and now its nice."
"I've had a previous light Columbia fleece jacket and liked it a lot."
"Northface fleece jackets are a little thicker and warmer."
"By the time I got home, package had arrived, and wife or kid opened it and placed the jacket on the table. It was the annual meet the executive day for all the team leads. And nope, didn't get any promotion that day :( Note that the real fleece jacket from Columbia never shed even a single piece of ball of fuzz. All that is needed is a very light jacket to keep the chill out long enough for you to generate heat as you go hiking. Is great for work or indoor as well where some places they turn the A/C on high."
"Terrible quality."

"Since many people have noted that the jacket is generally good quality, and several have noted that the zippers are flimsy, I feel this is a good solution. Update 2: As a result of my and other comments on this jacket, the seller assures me that they have now changed the supplier of the zippers, so that the product will be better quality in future."
"Ordered this jacket for a ski trip after shopping stores."
"The one I really and truly miss, though, is the draw string around the bottom that the Nrthface jacket has. This draw string is pretty essential for cold days on the slopes. I was delighted to receive this item as a free sample and did not promise the manufacturer that I would produce a review."
"My son wanted a snowboarding jacket and I didn't want to (ok couldn't afford to) pay a minimum of $200 for a coat... but I did want him to have a nice looking and quality coat. I expected something nice to look at with a medium to good quality. The bottom part of the lining and side pockets are snapped to the sides which is what they did with old quality coats that they stopped making in the 70's.... You're getting this coat that is twice the quality at about 1/4 the cost."
"Pros: - Super comfy and REALLY warm. - Hood is detachable. - Velcro at the wrists is super useful. Cons: - zippers feel cheap (one of the pocket zippers often gets stuck). - front pockets are REALLY small - would like to have seen deeper pockets for a winter coat. - neck/face strap doesn't offer as much coverage and is a little tight."
"This is an awesome jacket, it looks really good on my husband who normally wears a large or extra large and I bought him a medium."
"Lots of pockets, great warm hood and good fit."
The perfect compromise between blizzard in the forecast and first chill of fall, this multi-functional soft-shell works hard and plays even harder. Machine Wash. Front-zip water-resistant softshell jacket with zippered pockets at chest and waist.

"I searched all over between Columbia, North Face, and Spyder looking for a basic light weather jacket."
"It would not be warm enough for winter weather but is very nice on colder fall and warm winter days."
"This is an excellent Jacket, its quality is noticeable."
"Pretty standard lightweight jacket, A little warmer than your standard windbreaker."
"Xl seems a little too loose around waist and slightly tight in shoulders."
"I've worn this plenty since I bought it, and have no real complaints, but just so you know before you try this style and brand, two things: 1) the fabric is a bit stuff and rubbery, so it's not the most comfortable thing ever, depending on what you're wearing under it, and 2) the collar on it is pretty tall."
"Plus, for the price, this jacket is a great buy."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It should stand out on bleak Winter days. *Good fit and very comfortable to wear. *Kept me warm but didn't overheat or feel clammy inside. *Thick and stiff enough that it doesn't flap around in the wind and increase drag. *Reasonably Priced. Cons: *Some sweat built up inside the arms near the wrists where there is no venting material. Not a problem yet, but on very cold days it may let some wind down the front. Things I couldn't evaluate: *Wet weather performance (Now I can evaluate this- see 2017 update below). *Extreme cold. Conclusions: After one ride, I can say this is my new go-to winter jersey. Update 11/14/16: I have now had the opportunity to ride with this jacket in 36F weather (with a base layer) and it continued to do great. I had my first real Winter ride of the season a few days ago (32F with 20mph winds) and this jacket continued to be awesome. Just a compression base layer underneath and I was comfortable on an hour long ride."
"It does have good warmth that when coupled with decent cycling tights I have been comfortable wearing this with only one moisture wicking layer underneath down to the upper 30s. I think I'll be comfortable down to freezing with a decent moisture wicking long sleeve shirt when that time comes."
"I'll update when I have worn it at varying temperatures, including any layering that I used underneath it, since I do a bike work commute 5 days a week. A lot of "winter" cycling jackets have huge areas of the jacket that is not thermal/windproof, mainly the back area. I understand the reasoning for it, so the sweat has a place to go but when you're cycling in truly winter temperatures, meaning single digits and even less with windchill, that huge back panel is going to make you feel so cold, and I'm trying to avoid wearing my big chunky coat since it tends to make me overheat and sweat more than what I should. I would like to just wear windproof thermal jacket (with 2 layers underneath not including the baselayer) with a relatively lite windbreaker jacket over for those single digit commutes and I'm hoping this jacket will be that third layer. The first time around I wore a thermal baselayer, a jersey, a jacket, this jacket, and my windbreaker."
"The major issue for me was that the black faded onto the lime after long ride."

"Amazon rep states there is no way to contact seller and issue even exchange- therefore I have to return it and pay full price to get the larger size."
"I love the wrist gators to close off your arms from the wind, and the bottom of the jacket hugs your hips when you have it zipped up and closes off your body from any cold drafts."
"Have found a few threads that were left long but if that's all that is lacking in quality at this price point...this coat is a steal of a deal!"

"Very nice quality for the price!!"
"VERIFIED REVIEW-SEE REAL PICTURES ATTACHED. The good: -Very comfy (Soft and not scratchy). -Very warm. The bad: -Sale picture is misleading in terms of size and shape (Compare sale pictures with my pictures). -Very large (see pictures). -Putting the hat on causes audible crack in seams, sign of cheap quality."
"It's too long and the part that puffs out at the top makes me feel like a Smurf."
"I liked the hat and feel, but I decided to wash the hat and now it's shrunk in size."
