Columbia Sportswear Women's Alpine Vista Jacket

Took on Patagonia travel, worked well most of time however even with layers I felt cold especially across upper shoulders in rain & wind. I am Apple shape with thick upper arms & ample chest, fit was great in upper part but a bit snug around waist limiting thickness of under layers. For price I’m happy, packed down to small layer in suitcase. If I lived in cold area would be good everyday jacket

Quality is normal. It does not have a pocket on the hend, so during skiing it will be a discomfort. Size is as expected.

Normally Columbia jackets are friendly to those of us with hips and that's what draws me to their products. I ordered a large size for my hips but while the jacket barely zipped at my hips, the top was way too bulky. The sleeves bagged like chicken wings and I could probably fit my ski helmet inside the chest with how much extra room was there. I ended up returning it for a different Columbia jacket from a different line that had a more sporty fit.

Color (Bluebell) is much darker than appears online, not a light shade at all. Hood fur is strangely positioned and matted. Very boxy shape. Definitely going back.

Bought this for my wife, it looked baggy at first but the draw strings helped with that, the material also seems to be thin but we spent all day on the slopes and she was warm as toast. A good purchase.

I love this jacket. I got to use it today as we just got a huge snowfall. It's lightweight, but warm as toast and keeps me dry too.

Love this jacket. Just took it on a ski trip with just long Sleeved thermals underneath and stayed toasty warm!

I love this coat! It will be perfect for Colorado winters and my upcoming trip to Iceland. Bright, beautiful teal color too
