This is a very nice jacket that is really warm. Its constructed to hug close to your body to keep drafts out and warmth in. That said, it does fit close but not necessarily tight - I ordered a 2X and it hugged me a little closer than I would like; I felt like I looked like a bowling ball. NOT the fault of the jacket - Its well constructed and the color is pretty. I'm returning this for a larger size, simply due to personal preference. If you like a bit looser of a fit, you may want to size up. But I totally recommend this jacket. Read more

If you've ever worn a Columbia jacket before, you know they're lightweight yet warm, fit great, go with most outfits, and are incredibly comfortable. I know this sounds like a very typical review but let me add some emphasis on this part in particular: this jacket is an absolute staple for my petite ladies out there. I'm wearing a Petite XS and it fits me like a glove, without making me look any smaller than I already am. This jacket will hold up through sunshine or rain, and works as a layer of warmth in the winter. You can put your full faith in this review if you're a similar size or shape as me. Buy this Columbia jacket yesterday. Read more

It's ok. I had ordered another fleece, same exact item but different color and size. The other one was a size larger (XL) and a light gray color. I kept the first fleece I ordered, despite being a bit large, because I loved the feel of it and figured a little big is better than a little small (for me, the Columbia brand seems to run small in the bust area). I normally wear a size medium, so with Columbia I order a large. I expected the same feel and sizing but was disappointed. This color isn't as soft and the sizing is definitely different. I'm keeping it, but wish I'd stuck with the "oversized size" I ordered with the first one. Read more

Great deep blue color, as pictured. Got an extra small which fits well. Seems true to size, and roomy enough for good movement. Strong zippers and pockets, slim profile that compliments the body. Long enough for bending and sports , but not too long , wide or poofy like other brands. Good looking!. Recommended! Fast shipping. Read more

Warm, staple piece that will last a long time. You pay Columbia's prices because their products are great! This fleece fits perfect with a very flattering cut. you can layer it under a winder coat or a rain jacket. It is true to size and at around 30 bucks on sale you can't say no! Read more

I was looking for a lightweight jacket that would work for the cool weather of Spring and Fall. I am 5'2" and usually wear an X-Small or Small in a t-shirt depending on the brand. In most jeans, I wear a size 1. I really liked the burgundy color in this jacket, so I ordered a size small. Although the small fit, I didn't think it would work as a jacket - wanted something a bit looser. So, I decided to order this jacket in a medium. The replacement fit more like a jacket, which is what I wanted. I returned the size small and kept the medium. The pictures are me in the size medium. When choosing size to buy, there are a couple of things to consider. If you plan to wear it as a light jacket over a t-shirt, your normal size will work fine - especially if you plan to leave it unzipped. The sleeves are not snug at all and a little long for me, but fit comfortably with elastic at the wrist. The inside pockets are large enough to carry a cell phone, a checkbook, or a wallet. If you plant to wear this as a jacket and especially if you plan to keep anything in the inside pockets while zipped, it would be a good idea to order one size up. Anything in the pockets will show bulges on the outside if you order your normal size and zip the jacket. It isn't fitted at the waist, but that's one of the things I like about it. When it isn't zipped, it doesn't flare out around the hips. The jacket also has a drawstring at the bottom if you want to pull it in at the hips. So, what do I love about this jacket? 1) Very soft and lightweight, yet warm. 2) Can be worn as a jacket for chilly weather outdoors or inside in the winter when the house is cool. 3) Has 2 zippered pockets on the outside large enough to keep a wallet or small essentials. 4) Has 2 deep pocket on the inside to carry a cell phone checkbook, wallet, or other items of similar size. 5) It doesn't have a hood which can get in the way if you have long hair, and really isn't necessary indoors or in mild weather. 6) The collar stays down and does not have to be up around the neck. 7) The zipper works great and is not at all stiff or hard to zipper. I initially bought the Bark color, which is dark brown, to figure out the size I liked best. Since I like this jacket so much, I put 4 more colors on my wish list for Christmas - rich wine (burgundy), charcoal heather (dark grey), burnt orange (can't find color name), and a medium grey (can't find color name). My husband bought all of them probably thinking I would return a couple of them. I love them all and they go with different outfit colors. So I kept them all. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this jacket. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update it if my opinion changes. Read more
