Corelite Down Hooded Jacket

Warm, fits well, great jacket

This is an excellent jacket, which I ordered as a layer specifically for hiking. It is much thinner than I expected, but it is very warm. The sizing runs a little on the larger side, which is fine, but I might have ordered a size smaller if I had known in advance. Overall, excellent product and a great addition to my cold weather hiking gear.

Muy buen producto

If you are tall and in decent shape, I would not recommend buying this jacket. I am 6ft and weigh about 175lbs and ordered a size L. The jacket fit length wise, but it was extermently wide, as if it was meant for someone my height that was 250lbs+. Sent it right back. Not worth the money if it is going to fit like a big bag.

Great

This Columbia down jacket is very lightweight and compressible. It's hard for me to give this jacket 5 stars because I own an Eddie Bauer MicroTherm FreeFuse stretch down jacket which I think is one of the best lightweight down jackets on the market. This jacket has a 700 fill power for the down inside the jacket which is mediocre and the baffles are stitched which is totally different from the FreeFuse technology by Eddie Bauer that uses a thermal fusing technique to create baffles without any holes created by the stitching process. This jacket does have YKK zippers which is always a sign of higher quality jackets. This jacket does have a hem drawcord which helps to keep the heat inside and the cold air out. The hood on this jacket can't be cinched down because there's no pull cord. The elastic on the wrist cuffs could be a little more snug for my liking. For reference I'm 6ft-4in tall @ 240lbs and the XXL was a good fit for me.

I ordered this jacket even though it’s marketed for men (I’m 5'9", 165 lbs.)—and I’m so glad I did. It fits beautifully without feeling bulky or boxy. From what I could find online, Columbia’s men’s jackets tend to be a little slimmer at the hip than average, which turned out to be just right for me. The material is light but warm, making it perfect for cool mornings or layering under a heavier coat in colder weather. It’s comfortable, practical, and looks good too—overall, a great value for the price.

I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance of this jacket. The stitching appears very durable and well-executed, giving me confidence that it will withstand regular use without any issues. It provides excellent warmth, making it perfect for layering during colder months or standing alone on milder, chilly days. It's very comfortable and it feels good against the skin. The fit is true to the size chart. The length is also exactly what I anticipated, enhancing the overall comfort. The best part is its impressive lightweight design. I am amazed that such a feather-light garment can provide such effective warmth. Additionally, the zipper functions flawlessly, gliding smoothly without any of the frustrating sticking problems I've encountered with other similar jackets and materials.
