Customer Reviews Columbia Wildside™ Jacket

I live in the PNW and needed a waterproof jacket to keep me warm and dry for walking around town or for camping/outdoor activities. This checks all the boxes and then some! There's loads of pockets which is very convenient, I can carry anything I need. I ordered a size small and there is some wiggle room for extra layers when it's really cold. I'm 4'11 and 110lbs and I think the extra small would've fit fine, however wouldn't have allowed for much layering. It isn't bulky at all so I don't feel stiff and immobile in it. Love the thumb holes!!

Perfect fit, perfect jacket

This jacket kept me warm with minimal layering for our trip at Big Sky in Montana this past week!! Very functional pockets and wind resistance was great!! Very happy with this jacket as I'm normal always cold!!

Bought the floral (no longer is stock) for my daughter for our recent ski trip to Breck. She loves it. This is the percent ski jacket with the arm pit zippers and thumbies. Also the perfectly placed pockets for skiing. It is also lightweight, so perfect for layering underneath making it versatile for any weather. This jacket is nicely fitted and accentuates the female shape. The floral is beautiful, but would recommend in any color. A post on Instagram showed on my feed of Cassie Sharpe wearing this jacket which prompted me to come to this website to buy it.

I use this jacket for skiing. It has plenty of pockets. It kept me warm. Only thing missing is a 2-way zipper.

I love it! I wear between M-L, but I got the L and it was perfect.

I'm 5"4'. 127 lbs, I like my jackets big and have always purchased Large in columbia jackets. Large fit just right. Perfect for snowboarding with room to layer underneath. I love the zipper pocket on the outside for your resort pass. Twilight is a very pretty light purple. Purchased a matching columbia beanie. Love love!

Love, love, love this jacket! Super functional and all the materials are soft and not crunchy or stiff like with a lot of snow or rain gear. It's not too thick or thin-it's just the right thickness for warmth and movement and comfort.

I got this jacket for my recent ski trip, it kept me warm the entire day in temperatures of 1 degree and below. I am very pleased with this jacket, and would recommend it.

I love this jacket and get many comments when I wear it on the street in general. The various pockets allow me to bring everything I need on the mountain without carrying a bookbag. My favorite part is the thumb holes. It is completely waterproof too. I was worried about sizing, based on others' reviews, but this was not an issue for me. I am 5'5' and 115 pounds and I usually struggle to find jackets which cover my arms as I have broader shoulders and longer arms (compared to the average joe). That's not to say that if you have average length arms and shoulders, that it would be too large for you- I think it would fit fine. I purchased the size small. Anyway- I love it!

Love it! And the thumb hole sleeves are so nice to keep the heat in as much as possible.

The jacket fit as expected and will be perfect for skiing and snowboarding!

This jacket has everything I was looking for in a snow shell and more. It's very comfortable and highly functional. I am usually right on the fence between Medium & Large when it comes to outerwear and I'm glad I picked a large. Plenty of room to layer if I need to but not swimming in it if I decided not to layer. Love the style & silhouette as well.

Got this jacket for snowboarding. All the pockets and little things are going to be perfect for hitting the slopes.

This jacket has all the bells and whistles needed for the slopes! Incredibly comfortable, warm, yet breathable. Love it!!

I was looking for something different and found this coat. Love the floral design and the fact it won't show dirt. Some features I really like--snow skirt, thumb holes in sleeves, hook for lift ticket, pocket for e-lift ticket, and outside chest zip pocket for my phone. Wore it today to walk the dogs in 20 degree temps. Kept me very warm with light layer under it. Looking forward to skiing with it.

The floral pattern of the jacket is very pretty and makes the coat unique. The Omnitech lining allows the jacket to be lightweight and yet keeps you warm in winter cold. A nice jacket for someone who wants to brighten up living with winter and be a little different than what is available with other jackets.

This jacket does not disappoint. With the many pockets, insulation to keep you warm, and being a good fit - it's exactly what I needed! I placed the order online and it came quickly to me before the holidays. I stayed warm while snowshoeing in the mountains here in Colorado and plan to go snowboarding with it shortly. I definitely recommend this product. It is perfect for all winter activities and daily use for warmth.

Bought for my daughter. Lilac color is very difficult to find. Fits perfect and is very flattering.

Ordered as a gift for my daughter. The color is fabulous and fit is perfect. Purchased one for myself almost 20 years ago and still have it

I sized up because I want to wear sweaters under the jacket. So that was perfect. Kept me warm in weather of 20 degrees. Hasn't been colder yet. Love the knit hand extensions with thumbholes. Great if I don't want to wear gloves, but want a little warmth. Zippered pockets are very secure. Love the inside sunglass pouch. Great Velcro adjustable wrist area.

Love this pattern & fabric! Fits true to size with room to wear a sweatshirt under. Great quality. Love Columbia coats!

Very happy with the quality of the jacket. Bought for my daughter to wear this next winter. Typically wears medium clothing but bought a large so there is plenty of room for her to layer. Fits well with a little room for her to continue to grow as she is still going through her growing spurt.

Love this jacket, very comfortable and warm. Would definitely recommend.

In love with this jacket. Great jacket!
