Customer Reviews Columbia Big & Tall Steens Mountain™ Vest

Great price its very comfortable for cool days and a must for layering.

Great vest quality fits well needs more pockets

I purchased the vest as a winter around the house body warmer because I own the jacket of the same material but the sleeves overheat inside the house. I have had great performance with the jacket and decided to give the vest a go. After a month of use I enjoy the vest and have no complaints

Bought one of the a year ago because I worked in an office that had wild swings in temperature. It is almost perfect for that function. It is light weight, warm but breathable. It does run a little snug. Being a vest it is suppose to be close to you body; I am not subtracting points for that. The talks are a bit snugger in the midsection but not so noticeable that it was a problem. after a few wears they loosened up enough that I am quite happy with the vest. It is belt length in the front and slightly long in the back. Belt length is typically where vest sit. I prefer that i come a little lower than belt length so I bought a Tall. If you want longer order a tall they are comparable to the Big's in every other dimension. Only real negative I have, and why my review is 4 stars, is the lack of breast pocket. I like them and find them to but quite useful.

A favorite, have had 4 of same. Attractive, warm, lightweight, versatile. Sizing a little inconsistent last w/Large Tall smaller than previous. I would LOVE the women's version to have a flared hip at thigh length. Have had to get men's version for needed length, but settle for too large otherwise.

Nice warm vest. Runs small in my opinion.

in the southeast we never get really cold so this lightweight vest is great to keep the chill off on a cool fall morning

Nice quality, comfortable vest

I ordered both a 2XLT and XXL. The 2XLT was much tighter than the XXL vest.

Vest really filled the need I had for some additional warmth but isn't bulky or heavy. I can wear under a rain jacket as an additional layer or by itself. Liked all the color selections as well.

Great quality and price. Runs true to size

This vest is almost too short for me, but it feels nice and functions well so I am not going to complain about that!

Do you remember that old Simpson's episode where Mr. Burns is talking about his hunting trophies and he then sings about "try me vest , try my vest, try my vest". This best is the best so far I have bought three of them; one for my father and brother and me. I see this vest as the perfect transition into winter and a nice layer to add as I exit winter's grasp into spring. Its light construction makes it feel likes its barley there but its snuggly enough with its lining that I welcome its touch against my face. These are quality pieces, my father had bought a similar vest 20 years ago and only now needed an update.

I'm 6-7 so finding clothes that are tall enough is difficult. But this Columbia vest fits the bill. It's definitely long enough in the torso and big enough to wear over a sweater.

I usually buy LT (Large/Tall) shirts, sweaters and jackets for a proper fit. This vest is very tall, hanging about 4 inches lower than a regular jacket/vest. It is also quite thin in material makeup, though well made overall. I would only recommend it for very tall individuals to wear in mild weather. I doubt I will use it much.

Ordered this as a gift. Excellent quality and fits a little large on him- which is good. Will definitely order more in other colors.

It fit well; nice color; no problems

It was a gift to a friend & he said he love ot very comfortable, all he wear os a turtle neck & vest over.

Just what I was looking for great quality and looks perfect for layering or not Wear them to work everyday

Excellent quality, but a bit small. Very snug and not as long as I would have expected for a tall garment. May want to upsize if hoping for room to flex and move easily.

Always good stuff could be a little thicker

Very satisfied with this vest. I keep it in my office during the winter for when it's too warm for a sweater, but it's too cool for shirt sleeves. The interior pockets are a nice feature. I also like how thin it is. It doesn't add much in the way of bulk.

Over regular clothes or over pajamas. Nice pockets

Stylish lightweight comfortable can be part of layers for colder activity Better stronger zippers please and zipper pulls color black more a dusty dark gray

Overall this vest fits the bill. It is a nice lightweight cover on cool days. Works well in shoulder seasons in mild weather or in the mornings, but doesn't provide REAL warmth. Big enough for a big guy (6'3, 275) and fits comfortably. I also bought the 4xl, and it was too big. Overall satisfied. An inside chest pocket for a cell phone would be a big improvement. Also, the fleece feels just a little cheap. I'd buy it again.
