Not in love with this jacket
My old Columbia 3-in-1 jacket is still in decent shape, so I had to really love this jacket to justify getting a new one this year. The color, fabric & construction on this one were nice, with many great features: very warm, thumbholes in the inner cuffs, good fabrics & construction, lots of pockets. Price was reasonable. Here's what I didn't like: liner jacket's cuffs w/ thumbholes were REALLY tight, to the point of being uncomfortable. Despite nice color (the green) and interesting textured shell fabric, the cut was a little boring I thought. Could have used some princess seaming or something to look less shapeless. Main complaint was the inner liner was so short so that it didn't look good on its own. ALso just a note that the jacket ran extremely large. I'm 5'6" 125 lbs and the XS was really swimming on me. So I sent it on back. I liked it, but not well enough... better luck next year.

The reason I bought this jacket is because I have really long arms and I get tired of my sleeves being too short. Also, there are extra long cuffs on the liner jacket with thumb holes, and they help keep your hands even warmer. :) It really warm and does keep you dry when you're out in wet conditions.
The only reason why I didn't give this jacket five stars is because some of the seams on the liner jacket aren't that strong. Other than that, it is a great jacket.

Great jacket
Fantastic product...I bought this for my wife and she loves it. The 3 pc design is great. She especially liked the powder skirt and the sleeves on the inner jacket that extend over her hands with thumb loops.

Great Jacket
This is the second of these jackets that I have purchased.. My daughter has worn it.. very warm, especially likes the detachable inner jacket.. stylish, fits well, not bulky.. overall a nice "price point" for a great fit.. sized as it states.. I would buy another..
