Customer Reviews Columbia Heavenly Hooded Jacket

It is indeed Heavenly! Warm, yet lightweight. A Bit form fitting, but not too much, the color is perfect! I was in search of the perfect walking in cold weather jacket and I was in search of one from Columbia with the Omni-Heat because my husband has owned one for years and never ever gets cold and loves his jacket. Of course Zappos is the first place I went! I ordered a couple different styles and THIS one was the keeper! I ordered a size Small, I'm 5'5 and around 135'ish pounds. It fits perfect while wearing a tee shirt and lightweight hoodie. I wouldn't be able to fit a heavy sweater or such underneath...I would need to go up a size for bulkier clothing underneath. I live on the NC Coast, therefore I don't wear much bulky clothing...so this fit for me was perfect! Hope this helps anyone looking for an awesome jacket. As a bonus the sleeves have thumbhole hand warmers! Super cute and Super Useful! Highly recommend this jacket.

I've tried other outdoor brands and I continue to come back to Colombia. They aren't the most technical in terms of features, but are a solid choice for anything other than hard core hiking or mountaineering. This jacket does not disappoint. It's very light weight but also VERY warm and blocks wind well. It's versatile enough to look great with jeans or nicer outfits. The fit is fitted and feminine with no bulk. I think it runs true to size. I originally ordered the SM and it fit fine over a sweater, but it felt a little snug when I gave myself a bear hug. I ordered the MED, and it was perfect. It did not hang off my shoulders (I was concerned about this going up a size), and it gave me enough room to wear a fleece under it for really cold, windy days. For reference, I'm 5'3", 125 lbs., 28" waist, 36" hips, and 34DD. I love the length in the back and the thumb holes. If it's not cold enough for the thumb holds or if you just don't want to use them, they disappear into the sleeve and look like cuffs. There are plenty of functional, zippered pockets and the hood is warm, roomy enough to fit over a pony tail or a beanie, and lays flat when not in use. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add a draw string to the hood. If you zip the jacket all the way up it stays in place very well, but if you only zip up to your chest and not your chin, it doesn't. This is a minor inconvenience, but not enough to dock a star from this otherwise great jacket. The best part is that it's really attractive on - a hard feat for outer wear!

Columbia never lets me down. I am very happy with this coat. It is VERY lightweight without giving up warmth. I think it would be perfect for outdoor activities, like cross country skiing or downhil skiing with the appropriate under layers. I am very happy with this purchase. The coat keeps me warm in 10 degree weather in MN just walking outside.

Nice lightweight coat. Ok for layering, would size up if planning to wear with bulky sweaters. Not for really cold weather unless layered. I really like that the sleeves are long enough. I'm 5'10 and a size 12 in mostly everything. Large fits well.

Love this coat! It’s lightweight, but still warm. Very sleek and not bulky. The hood could be a bit bigger to really cover my whole head, but it’s fleece lined and keeps my ears warm when needed. There is one inside pocket along the zipper at chest level that fits my iPhone 7 with a low profile case. Two front pockets zip shut.

Feminine fit. Nice weight and functional hood. Feels true to size.

This jacket is so comfortable and stylish! I have the Heavenly in the longer style as well and it's a staple for me in PNW winters. As always, I'm impressed by how warm this jacket is given how lightweight it is.

I normally buy Columbia jackets in a size large, so I thought I'd order a size XL in this for if I need to bundle up and layer. Good thing I did because this fits like a large! Although I may not be able to bundle as much, I still love it and have no regrets. I would just make sure to size up if you think you might need to because it might be a little tighter than expected.

Love this jacket! I'm tall and long (6' and I got a size medium) and it's a perfect fit!

Fabulous jacket. I had been looking for a black winter jacket for weeks, and had purchased and returned 4, before finding this Columbia jacket on Zappos. It is lightweight but very warm, even on windy days. The hood is lined with a pouch fleece and stays on well, despite no drawstring. Nice deep zippered pockets to hold phone, gloves, etc. For reference, I usually wear a size 2, and decided to order the Small so I would have room for a heavy sweater. Sizing works well. This is my first Columbia winter jacket, but I’m sure it won’t be my last!

This is a great hooded jacket for someone who may not want down (I am allergic). Very functional and the hood actually stays on my head. It's warm enough for 55F weather for me. I haven't tried it in colder temperatures. Caveats: -It feels bulky so definitely not packable -It runs a little small, not enough to go up a size but it feels more snug that other brands -There's some places I see some threads hanging out, not enough to bother but noticeable enough.

I love the color! It's lightweight and a little bit longer than it looks in the photo which I prefer. I order a medium which is my normal size and it fits great.

I received my jacket yesterday (Black / Size L - For 5'7"-150 lbs.). It fits perfectly, even with a mid-weight layer. I wore it today and loved it! These cuffs and thumbholes are so comfy, and the plush-fleece-lined hood is ultra soft! In fact, I just ordered one for a Christmas gift about an hour ago - I know they will love it like I do !!

This jacket is tailored and becoming. I ordered the ivory and it is such a nice shade (not dull). Not bulky, but is insulated and keeps you warm. I can wear a sweater underneath and not any discomfort. True to size. I am 5' and 100lbs. Cleans with water nicely.

Great jacket, packs well, looks good on.

the size fit, material and design are fine

Coat looks beautiful, slimming fit, lovely color, and so so so soft and warm!

Extremely efficient in keeping me warm. I've always been prone to the cold and this can be warn with a simple Cotten long sleeve underneath in 40 degree weather and I never get cold!

Here in New England we have many winter days between 25 and 45 degrees, and I've been seeking the perfect jacket for this temperature range for some time. This is it! Very comfy and easy to move in, light weight, warm, and flattering. I especially like the way the hood is engineered; it's just right to be cozy without blocking vision, and the microfleece lining not only feels delicious, but keeps the hood anchored in place. Because it's not sliding around, it's quiet, so you can hear the sounds of the forest as you hike. My only complaints are trivial: the pockets are skimpy, and the somewhat wimpy zipper tends to catch on the wind baffle. If you're between sizes or want to wear bulky layers underneath, I recommend you size up. I'm between a small and a medium, 5'6"/125 lbs, athletic build with rather wide shoulders. The medium fits perfectly over a fleece without an inch to spare.

Warmth without the bulk and totally pack able. Love the longer length in the back! 5'6" athletic medium fits perfect and room for sweater or layers.

My friend suggested me this brand and I thought of trying it as I had struggled to find a good jacket from last 2 winters. I am happy that I was able to conclude my search here at Columbia. Color- subtle and has great finish. Doesn't shine or give a look of some cheap jacket. Fit - the female fit is perfect and compliments your curves without making you look bulky and puffy. Warmth- good for New York and Massachusetts winters. Omniheat technology does the trick. It's warm and retains your body heat without adding any bulk. Do read the warmth factor before buying as it's different for all jackets. Easy to pack. Price- the actual price is not that high. We got a chance to buy when offers were going on and this got an exceptional deal in relation to the kind of stuff.

Not true to size. Go up a size or two if you order your normal size. It was comfortable otherwise and nicely put together. Love the color!

Seems like it would be very warm. Not as light as I expected, and runs VERY narrow. If you have hips at all and want to wear it over a sweater, up two sizes for sure.

I love my new purchase. The Omni heat keeps me pleasantly warm without the bulk. Great for causal and fitness sports. I spend many hours outside skiing, hiking, skinning and I love that I can pack it easily in my backpack.

The coat itself is good quality however the fit was not what I was looking for. I ordered my normal size small. It was more fitted than I want for a coat and I will be returning. The shoulder area was tight and it fits close to the body elsewhere. It does say in the description body skimming but other reviews seemed mixed on the fit. It is a slim fitting coat so if that's what you want, it's nice.
