Columbia Men's Steens Mountain Front-Zip Fleece Jacket
Machine Wash. Front-zip fleece jacket with standing collar and logo at chest.
Reviews
"Probably Columbia's cheapest fleece."
"I returned the first jacket because the nap flattened and would not return to the stand up position giving the appearance of a stain."
"In any case, it seems a bit big in the body and a little long."
"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."
"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."

Columbia Men's Glennaker Lake Front-Zip Rain Jacket with Hideaway Hood
100% Nylon.
Reviews
"Bottom line is that while standing in the Kenai River in the rain, wearing this jacket while wearing sock-footed waders, I stayed dry and comfortable."
"I like Columbia outer-wear, and bought this jacket to wear outside while it's raining or snowing (paired with a fleece/sweater underneath when temps are cooler). Afterwards I found the jacket's interior material was wet (like a sweating type of wet), enough to moisten the fleece I wore underneath."
"It is sized so that you can wear an extra layer under the coat, like a light to medium thick sweater, and not feel too constrained. The jacket in general is light and easily packable, but the lining works like insulation in the heat. If you are trying to travel light, this jacket will work better in the fall or slightly cooler temperatures."
"Arm length very good as well as the body length."
"It does run a bit large, but that's not a bad thing, reason for that is it will allow me to wear a sweater underneath."
"My husband absolutely loved this!"
"I also like that the hood folds up and stows away in the neck... without being bulky and annoying. You have plenty of room to put gloves, a hat, and other items in there along with your hands."
"This jacket isn't meant to keep you super warm, but it does that well enough for me."

"Bought this for my boyfriend for christmas, and was really pleased with it. He usually wears a large, and I ordered a medium after reading reviews. I ordered the green and it's a beautiful colour."
"This is a fabulous jacket."
"My son loves this coat."
"That helps when you layer a waterproof shell on over this jacket, but I still wish the sleeves were about an inch longer."
"I love this jacket super light super warm but not too warm very comfortable good for layering would definitely buy this again actually I would love a navy blue one in my size seems to be unavailable."
"It says "made in China" and not sure if quality assurance is related to that or not but the jacket I got is probably the piece of clothing with the worst finishing I've seen in my life."
"Looks nice but the Chinese sizing drives me nuts. If it was even American 2xl it would Have Fit breathtakingly as if it were a large to xtra large. Too bad cause it looks nice and I have two of these and they do a great job."

Reviews
"However, there has been a noticeable difference in quality depending on the color and the year! Measurements of current jacket, Size Large: Center back length, 28 inches. Width around bottom hem: 53 inches. Sleeve (from shoulder seam) 26 inches."
"I ordered 2 , one made in China and the other in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh looked better made and more warm and fluffy. Order one size SMALLER - these are not true to size. I am 5'11 , 184 lbs , always wear medium , ordered a small based on the reviews , and the small fits perfect .... trust me on this one. The one in the picture is the one made in Bangladesh not china."
"The gray and 1 of my blacks are wearing out but I think I could still get a few more months out of them. This time around they didn't have the color I wanted (they typically always have black and gray) so I decided to order it now since I didn't want to bite the bullet and wait until it got colder."
"I have purchased many of these Columbia jackets in the past and this one is OK but the black is not a true dark black as in the past."
"Pros. Can be worn in a variety of weather; Helps keep in body heat when it's cold and snowy or just on a brisk day for extra warmth. Long A-line cut is flattering. Washes well; Does not shrink or become itchy. Soft; Fleece is comfortable and not itchy. Cons. None, yet!"
"2 large interior pockets great for cell phones or other large items."
"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.

Reviews
"The dog giggled under her breath and sat down under the table in her usual "let's watch the funny monkey-man pretend to know what he's doing" pose. Had any neighbors pulled in at that moment and peeked through the frost-lined windows they would have seen an aging hippie, clad in faded jammie bottoms and a black T-shirt with a peace sign in the center, dancing around the living room like an idiot, pointing gleefully at his feet upon which were a brand new pair of stupid-expensive socks, and a Golden Retriever quietly snickering under the table. I work from home in an old farmhouse in northwest Iowa - the high temperature today is supposed to be about two below zero - so my feet are constantly achingly cold, even if I wear two pairs of socks and my flappy-flappy slippers... But since I've started wearing these socks my feet haven't ached at all - I can easily walk on the old hard, frigid floors without worry. Considering the fantastic warranty and the wondrous quality of these socks, they're not so stupid-expensive after all - I anticipate a few pairs of these miracles will pay for themselves over time (I usually go through fifteen or twenty pairs of super-cheap tube socks a year), and the joy of having comfortable feetsies in the winter is something you young whippersnappers will understand someday... Now where's my beer - I have more shopping to do..."
"My husband, who has stinky feet unless he wears cotton rich blend socks, did an experiment. We went snow tubing at 25 degrees F and put these over our smaller kids other socks and their feet stayed warm. There's no thinning or wear showing on the heel or ball area of the foot. I am a size 10 women's shoe and my husband is a men's 8. I plan to replace all of my family's sock with the Darn Tough brand a little at a time!"
"I live in Wisconsin, where warm socks are a must if you spend time outdoors in the winter. These are good socks, but Heat Holders socks are much better!"
"Easily the best sock I've ever worn !!!"
"Expensive socks but worth it."
"Wasn't sure they were worth the money."
"There is nothing wrong with my first pair; I just wore them all the time and decided it would be nice to have a second pair so I don't have to wash something every night."
"I feel weird writing a review on socks but the fact that I took the time to should tell you these socks are legit."

Reviews
"Waist fit perfect but they were slightly tight at the bottom of the shorts (just above the knee)."
"Most small sizes are too big for me but these are the opposite coming out too tight."
"It's definitely a new experience putting something one that clings to your legs for dear life, but the level of comfort from wearing these versus basketball shorts is no contest."
"I can't see cycling more than twenty miles or so without a pair of these shorts. One thing I noticed when shopping for cycling shorts was that the big sports stores sold a brand such as Nike nearly exclusively."
"I'm a bigger guy (240lbs) so I was hesitant to buy shorts since I figured I'm not everyone's first choice when it comes to being seen in skin tight pants. I also washed them after my ride and they came out of the washer just fine (make sure to follow the instructions and do not put them in the dryer)."
"I ride single track trails pretty aggressively and have bailed off the bike many times and even gone OTB."
"I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on shorts but at the same time I didn't want any of the el cheapo shorts that are out there."
"I was therefore happy with the fit in the legs (since I got a larger size, it wasn't tight for me) but I expected the length to be longer with the larger size, and these only go 2/3 the way down my leg (shorter than my other small sized ones)."

I normally understand broken English very well (the product description, but I did not make sense that the entire groin area is gel padded.

I've worn it just today (one day shipping), and you can see some small drops of puddle filth on the white banner of the pants behind."

"My husband researched and purchased these, and this is his review: I used to be a tried and true Oakley's man until my cash flow said other wise. The lenses provide me with crisp viewing, and are not set too close to my face so they don't fog, even when I jump back into my air conditioned truck."

"On to the reviews: Gold Toe Men's Firm Compression Support Over the Calf Dress Sock, Black, Medium ($13.50 Prime). Quality compression sock (Top quality like all Gold Toe socks). Excellent compression. Thin dress sock (made for a dress shoe). True knee-high sock. Stays up nicely and doesn’t dig in at top. Perfect quality after several washes. Best quality for the price that I have found. Fytto Style 1067 Men's Comfy Travel and Dress Compression Socks, 15-20mmHg, Knee High, Large, Black ($12.60 Prime). Similar to Gold Toe but one notch down in quality. Not quite as nice feel as Gold Toe (closer to ladies nylon feel than men’s dress sock). Shows some wear after several washes. Less compression than others (15-20mmHg instead of 20-30mmHg like most others on this review list). 2nd best quality for the price that I have found. (2 products with same review). Futuro Restoring Dress Socks for Men, Black, Large, Firm (20-30 mm/Hg) ($11.49 Prime - also sold @ Wal Mart). Austin House Flight Socks (Large) (~$12 inc shipping). Cheap compression dress socks (Futuro sold @ Wal Mart). Basically thick ladies nylons (not so nice). Slippery in shoe (nylon). Decent compression. True knee-high sock. Stays up reasonably well (falls only a few times a day). Digs in a bit at top band of sock (helps sock fall down less but can be uncomfortable). Quality fades after several washes. Terramed Organic Cotton Graduated compression Men's Socks Dress Travel Performance Stockings (20-30 mmHg) (X-Large, White) ($24.99 Prime). Nice soft cotton feel (they are indeed cotton). They need to be taller and need to somehow figure out how to make elasticity last longer (maybe a couple % less cotton and more spandex). Vitalsox Patented Performance Graduated Compression Socks, White, Large ($17.29 - $33 Prime depending on color (white is $20.21). (Seems to be very similar to Travelsox and Eurosocks brands found on Amazon). Sports style (a bit thicker than dress sock and much more cotton-like feel). 7 color choices – even purple if that’s your thing! Italian made (ooh ahh). Excellent quality. Excellent compression. Soft feel (close to cotton feel). Stays up nicely. Quality holds after several washes. I highly recommend (for sport style socks). Jobst Compression Socks – Rolls Royce of compression socks… get them if you can afford to! A note on Jobst – These are the compression socks that you get at medical supply stores and range from low compression to crazy high medical compression. Great compression. Relief socks feel much more like thick ladies nylons than Medical, which feels like a fancy dress sock. These are fantastic socks as well but note that they are much thicker than other sports style compression socks."
"I won't go to a smaller size even if I had skinny calves as the sock padding along the foot fits perfect. Can't say I noticed a lot of performance benefits while working out, but they were comfortable and didn't slide around in the shoe even when mixing up the speeds and inclines quite a bit. I also wore them overnight and found them comfortable and that my legs felt more refreshed in the morning."
"We both have different health conditions that warrant our wearing compression socks, which was my initial reason for researching and purchasing these socks for myself, and then him after a stay in the hospital for blood clots."
"I’ve had other brands of compression socks and these are by far the best I’ve tried."

"Having said that the mediums on the waist on me felt perfect, with my short legs, the length is about an inch, inch and half longer than what I would prefer, but I cant blame the pants for my short inseamed legs. The seller offers many other color schemes and I will definitely be back to purchase some more compression pants and tops."
