Columbia Women's Le Lustre Insulated Jacket

March 02, 2012

Liked this jacket- lightweight but warm. Just what I needed. Can't wait to wear it when I go up north. Will have to order another one though because the sleeve was defective and didn't fit properly.

Worth every penny

Purchased for my daughter. She loves it. She says it is warm, comfortable and fits perfectly. She is 5' and 100 lbs. The small fits her nicely. She selects this jacket over all her other options.

Great jacket

I looked for a long time to find a jacket with everything I wanted: 1) Warm, but not bulky (I live in the south....there's no need for a huge bulky coat) 2) Hood without fur (my cat will meow like crazy if I wear stuff with fur) 3) Thumbholes (my new fav thing in jackets thanks to Lululemon) 4) Tapered, more feminine cut (did not want boxy, unflattering look) 5) Longer sleeves (I'm only 5'4", but I find most jackets of lesser quality have sleeves that are too short for my liking) 6) Weather-resistant 7) Nice colors to choose from This jacket met my criteria perfectly. I got the jacket in Adriatic, which is slightly more green than it appears on my computer screen (it's almost like a dark jade color). I got it because I loved the contrast of the lime green in the hood. I just wished the thumbholes were a more interesting color than black. Still love the jacket, though. I'm 5'4"/155 lbs and got a large. It fits perfectly and I still have room to layer underneath.

just not sure...

I bought a pair of the Omni Heat gloves from Columbia and looked into a jacket when I read how this reflective warming works. I am always cold and this new technology sounded great. I love how light and non-bulky the jacket is.. loved the color and that it has a hood (a must for me) the only thing that keeps me from taking the tags off so I can't return it -is the sleeves. Well, actually the cuffs/thumbholes.. which I normally LOVE. I would buy something with thumbholes just because they keep my hands warm, seeing I have Raynauds it is a great feature, but this jackets cuff with the thumbholes is soooo tight. I am not big especially my arms/wrist and hands and this is so tapered I am wondering if I could fit a sweater or any long sleeve top under. The rest of the jacket is perfect but I think trying to pull my hand out of the cuff/holes with a long top or even with a bracelet or watch would get caught and mabye even pull it off. I will try with a heavy top and make the decison. If not for this one small part of the jacket, this fitted, shiny, pretty color jacket would be such a keeper- I am so bummed. Thanks for the great service.. will decide tomorrow if returning or not.
