Columbia Men's Whirlibird IV Interchange Jacket, Waterproof & Breathable

This is a fantastic coat and will keep you very warm in really cold temperatures. It’s Columbia so there’s no doubts about the quality and design. I tend to run hot so the zippered underarm vents are really nice when I need to let some heat escape. I’m giving this 5-stars, but the hood can be better. Some fur lining would be nice to help capture rain or snow to deflect it off your face.

The Columbia Men's Whirlibird IV Interchange Jacket exceeded my expectations during a recent December trip to Italy, where temperatures ranged from -5 to 2 degrees Celsius. This jacket is a true winter warrior! Its waterproof and breathable design kept me comfortably warm, even with just a T-shirt underneath. The versatility of the interchange system allowed me to adapt to varying conditions effortlessly. Whether strolling through historic streets or facing chilly winds, this jacket proved to be a reliable and stylish companion. Columbia has nailed it with a perfect blend of functionality and comfort—highly recommended!

I live in New England and need to stay warm on fall days and on days that are a -15 degree blizzard and this jacket fits that bull perfectly. I use the shell when it's above 20 degrees and I throw on the outer shell when it gets really cold out. The inner powder coat is warm but the material is weak and prone to ware and rips. The outer shell is the complete opposite from the inner shell, it's rugged material that I trust to take a thrashing and it does it while holding in all the warmth underneath. I like the tapered fit the coat offers my 6' athletic frame. Overall is rate this jacket a 10/10.

I own a Columbia Alpine Action jacket which I really like. I am a huge fan of the Omni-Heat insulation, and its just a great winter coat. I also own an Omni-Heat Crested Butte II jacket that I wear under a Gore-Tex shell when things are really wet and cold. Anyway my teenage son needed a winter coat and wanted one without bulky insulation so I started looking into the different Columbia Omni-Heat offerings. I considered getting him an Alpine Action coat, but then saw that the Whirlibird had a removable liner as well as pit zips which the Alpine Action lack so I thought we'd give it a try. It seems like a pretty nice jacket and my son is happy with it. The only slight negative is that the main zipper is a little small/light. It's holding up fine, but I like to see something heavier as the main zipper on a coat intended for winter sports. It loses one star for this. Otherwise it seems like a good coat at a very reasonable price, and the vents and removable liner make it an excellent option for changing weather.

It's a good jacket The only thing is the outside zipper doesn't last long I go this jacket in 2021 started having problems problems with it a few months after I got it so I just dealed with it so I don't know if I am going to get a new jacket or fix it if I don't keep I'm going to donate it to the homeless

I've owned Columbia 2-in-1 jackets for a long time. They just keep getting lighter and warmer. This one's getting to the point I wish it wasn't so dang warm! I go out to run the snow blower and drop 5lbs sweating I swear! This would be great to be out all day skiing. Pair it with the right snow pants, gloves, and hat and you could survive Hoth! Great construction....though there's pockets and zippers on this that just don't make sense to me. Not really great for fall/spring use unless you take off the shell and wear one of the two parts.

So, up front, the one thing I miss is a removable hood. But the features on this jacket make that negligible. Not having a "soft" lining, I was worried I'd want to wear a long sleeve fleece shirt or something under this to avoid either that "sticky from sweating" or "cold from the jacket sitting in my car until I put it on" experiences I've had with other jackets, even from Columbia. I haven't had those issues. The vents under the arms keep me from over-heating and even though I'm used to more pockets in my Columbia jackets, these are spacious enough that I don't need more. I bought a bigger size than I thought I absolutely needed because I didn't want to measure and guess what I might wear under it (If I'd need a sweatshirt for more warmth or a fleece for a softer or more absorbent feel) but that wasn't necessary. Not disappointed with some extra length but their sizes seem accurate.

I purchased the camo version of this jacket 6 months ago and loved it so much that when the jackets went on sale for 1/2 price, I had to have another color scheme. I love how it is waterproof and wind proof. I love how I can wear just the waterproof outer shell or stay warm with just the inner omni-heat jacket that blends with many different colors of clothing.

solid. good value for money

Purchased this jacket a size larger than I usually take, and I'm glad. This jacket replaces another 3-1 jacket from Columbia that I had for 30 years (the zipper broke). What advancements in materials makes this toasty warm. Not to sure on the Velcro at the zipper (old one had snaps, easier to zip up and down), but that the only qualm. Don't hesitate to buy a Columbia jacket, quality, thoughtful design. Here's to hoping this one will last another 30 years.

We bought this jacket to replace my husband's worn-out 3-in-1 Whirlibird Interchange jacket. It's exactly as described. Includes Omni-Heat Reflective and Omni-Tech protection to promote warmth and protection from the worst of winter's elements for the wearer: wind, freezing rain, snow and frigid temperatures. One of the features we love most is the range of sizing options. This jacket is available in standard, big and tall sizes. Measure and refer to Columbia's size guides for more information. Must-have benefits include day-long comfort and breathability, underarm venting, external (zip) and internal pockets, detachable hood and adjustable cuffs. Jacket washes like a dream! Dirt rings around the neck, wrist and edges around the hip can be removed with Oxi gel or spray cleaner and laundered in the washing machine. Snap closures allow the wearer to detach and reattach the hood. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area; never put into the dryer. Biggest criticism we have are the zippers' longevity- despite this jacket's excellent construction and fantastic features, the zippers are its nemesis. I'd love to see Columbia incorporate the use of YKK zippers into this product. Almost all of my Columbia jackets have had to have the zippers replaced after 4 years, although the jacket looks and functions like new.

True in size

La calidad es la mejor. Sin embargo la talla es muy amplia… una o dos tallas arriba (ya considerando 2 o 3 capas internas. El tema de la talla de acuerdo a tu complexión sería la única cuestión. Revisando bien ese tema. Es perfecta. (Tuve un inconveniente con la chamarra interior de la capa interna. Pero el equipo de Amazon lo resolvió inmediatamente, son los mejores).
