Columbia Women's Glacial Fleece 1/2 Zip

Nice and Cozy
January 20, 2012

What a great price for this top. I like the lightweight fabric as I am one who enjoys layering. I am 34C and bought a size small in the Stockholm blue. What a beautiful shade, perfect for blondes like me. I gave 5 stars because Columbia quality is always great and their fit for women is always flattering. It's an easy piece to toss on and go. I would like this top in any color, at this price. Thanks Altrec!

Wonderful fleece

I have several of these Columbia fleeces and they are a "must-have" in these cold winter months. I love the price and the variety of colors. They're soft, warm and cozy. Can't do without them!

Perfect Ltwt Fleece
December 28, 2011

I needed something light weight but warm to wear under a vest. This fit the bill. It adds little bulk, and added just the right amount of warmth. Wore it skiing last week and fishing over the weekend. I have ample hips and the the large fit nicely over my hips without being huge through the shoulders. Haven't washed it yet, but it is Columbia so I'm assuming it will wash up fine. (plus I got it on sale so the price was right)

Works as a casual top
November 29, 2011

I bought an XS in this to wear it as a shirt without an underlayer. It fits well for its intended purpose (I'm 5'4" and 120 lbs.). It's thinner than what I thought it'd be, but I guess it fits the description (lightweight). I like that it's also stretchy and longer than some. I got this to replace a Columbia Benton Springs 1/2 zip that I bought for the same purpose and returned. The Benton Springs was thicker and a S was way too big, and the Stockholm color was a much lighter blue than I thought it was from the picture. I got the Glacial Fleece in black. I've worn it several times and like it!

Glacial Fleece

Was looking for some casual fleeces to wear to work and out running errands...loved the colors available so I bought two. They are definitely very thin, more of a fall/early winter top than for when it's really cold out. That being said, it's really soft and very comfortable, and I'm happy with it so far!

Can't go wrong

I'm 5'8" and a size 12-14 ,I had ordered several colors in a size large last year; which I ended up giving to one of my daughters,much to her delight. I needed an x large ,which I have in 4 colors. They are a perfect lite weight,cozy and layer well. I just bought 3 more cobalt blue for all three daughters and plan to shop for more brite colors. We love them.

Too Long. Last year's model was perfect!

I love the 3 Glacial Fleece Half Zips I purchased last year and the year before, so I wanted to get a couple more before I couldn't find them any more. This years model is waaaaay too long, so, sadly I'm sending them back. C'mon Columbia--why fix something that isn't broke?? Bring back the perfect light-weight, comfortable, fleece!

Good base or mid layer.

This top is light, soft and warm. It is best used underneath another layer as it does not stop a good wind. The zipped collar is snug but soft. I would prefer more form fitting through the waistline though.

too long

I had a Columbia Glacial Fleece, and really love it. So I bought an same size fleece again, but it was two size longer than the old one. It really disappointed me.

I really love this fleece. It's very soft and comfy. Good as the upper layer on a mild fall day or a base layer on a colder day. I think it looks really good too. It is slightly smaller than I would have expected, but I think it fits better that way.

Great fleece 1/2 zip

I wear this as an additional layer inside my cool winter house as well as layered for outside. It's lightweight, soft and warm. If I get a little too warm, I just unzip the neck. For my outdoor walks I love the feature of the zip neck to keep my neck warmer without the use of a scarf. I love the colors- I have the darker blue and the tarte. I am 5'6 and about 138# and the medium fits perfectly. I bought the lighter blue for my daughter's birthday and I know she will love it.

Good Product

This is a good basic layer. Washes well and has kept its shape. Nice jacket.

wish it fit

The columbia fleece quarter zip was beautiful...I just wish I fit it. The weight of the fleece was great because you could layer under or over with no difficulty. It also feels incredible on. The color choices were great too...They just fit me odd. I am small, so it probably did not help, but the last year's model fit me much better. This year the length is longer and the sleeves are seriously long. Because the length on the body is longer, the waist falls below my natural waist and looks funny. I am 5ft 2, and weigh 118 lbs.

Wonderful!

I absolutely love this fleece! It's lightweight yet still nice and warm. I ended up buying several as Christmas presents and a couple for myself - and now I'm on Altrec shopping for a few more for myself.

Nice fleece pullover

This Columbia glacial fleece 1/2 zip is comfortable. I'm typically a size S in tops but wanted to go size up so that I could wear a shirt underneath and it turned out to be good idea. The material isn't bulky by any means so don't expect to be super warm in this top. Its fabric is thin yet still offers some degree of warmth. Overall I like it! And you can't beat the price.

womens glacial fleece 1/2 zip

this was a good buy for layering when skiing. I wouldn't recommend it as your only layer on a windy day, because the wind goes right through it, but it's very cozy for the indoors on a cold day, or a walk in the park in the winter.

Nice weight, poor sizing
August 13, 2010

The small, my usual size, wasn't a good fit. It's tight through the shoulders and the sleeves are about two inches too long.

Warm and Comfortable

This is a great lightweight alternative to a jacket. Very warm and soft. Good for wearing out to go climbing, hiking and camping. A great value!

Great fleece zip
March 18, 2009

Sizing is true. Very warm but light. Great to layer over a tank or t-shirt. I got 2 and I'd buy another if there were any left.....

cozy, perfect for slighty chilly days
March 07, 2009

I love it. It's light weight, flattering, attractive, comfortable, the colors are pretty. It's not for super-cold days (at least for me, as I get cold easily), but will be great from the warmer part of spring to the warmer part of fall.

Great for chilly summer mornings.

Love the green color and fit of the shirt. It small enough to roll up and carry in my purse in case of a chill.

I love this Top!

Sizing is nice, fits well with a little stretch. The glacial color is very eyecatching. It's a light weight fleece, perfect for those spring and fall days that have just a little chill in the air.
