Great brand name but not warm
Not the warmest jacket out there but stylish enough for a night out or just walking. It’s rain resistant which is nice.

Multiple Purchases
I bought a Columbia Men’s Ascender Softshell Jacket (size Large in Columbia Grey) from a walk=in store. Very limited availability of sizes and colors. I’m 5’9″ and 165 lbs and this jacket fits well. Loose enough that I could layer a sweater under.itAmazon offers this jacket in a full range of sizes and colors so I ordered a second one in Large and Spruce to put away because every time I find a product I like, it gets discontinued or quality is cheapened. This is a great jacket and Amazon price was a lot less than the walk-in store.

Great jacket, perfect fit.
I’m 5’11 and the medium fit me perfectly. I’m replacing an old Columbia jacket that I’ve had for a decade. They last a long time. This feels like the perfect mid weather fall jacket or cool winter jacket with layers underneath. Warm on the inside and water repellent exterior is nice.

A Superb Jacket
The fit is great, the material feels good, and it is windproof. I haven’t tested it in the rain but I am very happy with the jacket.

We gave it as a gift. Normally wears XL but was too big.
It was given as a gift to early 20s young man.We were told he wears an XL but when we got it it was too big. We returned it for a large and he is very happy with it.

Soft warm and nice material
My husband loves this brand! He has a black jacket like this one and I ordered him a blue one for Christmas and it fits great! The shipping was fast and I was satisfied. I will purchase again.

Perfect Jacket
Living in Florida you have to have a jacket for cool mornings and this perfect! It is great for those 40 degree mornings but I wouldn’t think it would be enough for colder climates. We now have 3 in different colors because they were such a great deal!

Very smart looking. Great feel and just the right amount of insulation.
Even though I ordered X-Large which is a little bigger than my size. The amount of warmth this jacket provides allows me to layer up beneath it accordingly and I still look pretty smart (not too obese). LOLI personally run pretty hot so I needed something that wasn’t excessively insulated and this is perfect.I liked this black one so much I bought the navy blue one the same day I received this.

… an older NorthFace Apex Bionic Soft shell that I love. but after a few years of camping in …
I have an older NorthFace Apex Bionic Soft shell that I love. but after a few years of camping in it and having a lighter color, I decided I want to get a second one in black because years of camping and hiking grime and campfire soot made it dingy and unattractive. It still works great but not appropriate to wear to work because it makes me look like a dirt-bag. So I wanted to get a second one to wear everywhere except the trail and keep the dirty one for the backwoods. Unfortunately, My house got messed up pretty bad and both my cars were totaled in Hurricane Mathew and a lot of the stuff I wanted or needed this winter had to be dialed down so I could afford repairs. Then I found this black Columbia Ascender soft shell and found it was half as much as the northface and even better, the one with the electric blue zipper was even less! I wasn’t too keen on the blue zipper but after I wore it a while it grew on me and I love it now and glad I got it over the plain black on black. It was worth it both on looks and the bargain price.The following information is based on my opinion when comparing the NorthFace Apex Bionic to this Columbia Ascender:1. The Columbia is fitted in a way that is more complimentary to my shape. Its wider at the shoulders its slightly tapered at the waist and the sleeves are a little more snug compared to the Northface. the Columbia is more formfitting and is flattering to the body even if you don’t have a perfect six pack body (which I definitely do not). The northface is generally more loose fitting and creates the illusion of a flattering body shape by the two tone color design (obviously not true of the (TNF Black on Black version).2. isulative ability i find that both jackets are equal in this area.3. Water resistance, both are very impressive, neither one is completely waterproof, and the Columbia I think is slightly better in this area.4. Comfort wise , advantage goes to Columbia. They have a fabric lining where the northface has fabric with a web like netting material in some sections. Both are comfortable Columbia is just more comfortable. also because of the way its fitted, the Columbia is more snug while the Northface is a little looser so if you are wearing this with your regular clothes to go to and from work or to wear a sweater while working outside in the cold, the Columbia will be comfortable. If you are doing winter Camping and spending long periods outside in freezing or sub freezing, then the Northface can accommodate more layers and fit more comfortably. I have worn a long sleeve compression Tee, thermals, cotton tee shirt, and hooded sweatshirt with wool lining and the North Face Bionic over the top and was warm and my movement was not restricted. Was able to hike in sub freezing temps, with good mobility and not need a heavy coat.If you are not hiking and just sitting still for several hours you will need a warmer coat but if you are active this will be adequate with sufficient layers. If you prefer the look of the Columbia and want to wear this many layers buy a size larger than your actual size.

great waterproofing. i have been showing this off to …
update 3/22/2017: so i’ve had this over a year and its still a great jacket. great wind breaker still has water repellant properties as in water rolls off the jacket b4 being absorbed for the most part. the only problem is i’m fatter than a year ago so its snug. but ive washed it in the washer before. i luv the pockets and zips for the pockets. no hoodie but the collar is tall to help protect your neck a bit. the fleece is a bit thin so i feel the cold when sitting out in the 40degree weather a bit. and its a very snug for me so i can’t fit a sweater or layers under it but i recommend getting size larger if you plan on putting a few layers under unless you’re pretty skinny. i’m more plump so its snug. but i like the fit and shape it kinda slims my chest and belly a bit.but thinking about getting a larger one maybe another color to be able to wear extra sweaters or layer it for really cold weather 🙂 still 5 starsgreat waterproofing. i have been showing this off to customers and friends and family i go to their sink and put my arm under the water and put on full blast for 10seconds and all the water rolls off.very light so its great for places like Houston where its not exactly cold compared to most of the country… so this makes a nice and “warm” windbreaker and rain jacket without getting too too hot but can get warm in 70 degree houston humidity warm weather. but those cool days we get that are sunny its great. u may need to remove in the car or just put a lil ac on on those 70 plus days that are sunny so cars are hot but i’m loving this as spring jacket. the windbreaker and rain resistance is worth it here…thats me though. i can get cold quick and i’ve noticed in those below 60 degree days (thats winter time here in houston btw) i’m still chilly in this. but throw a sweater on underneat and the windbreaker shield with the thin fleece and under clothing start trapping heat real good and keep u warm. at that point i get annoyed cuz the rest of my body is cold like legs and face!my biggest disappointment with this jacket is that it has a tall collar they couldve easily have thrown in a thin shell material detachable hoodie that maybe tucks into the collar or hav a 3 button attachment. even if it isn’t fleece lined the thin material is some water and wind breaker resistance on those windy cold days or if tucked into the collar it can make neck warmer.i’m around 5’6″ – 5’7″ so i order a medium which was great the arms were long enough too but i’m over 200lbs and at 5’7″ that means i’m above average weight and lil chunky, and it was really tight. but i could see guys who are taller than me but skinnier buying this and fitting it perfectly fine. i’m not sure about 6′ tall guys but they may even like the medium if you’re skinny guy like 180lbs of US weight or below, i’m guessing. I could zipper it but I looked like i had a small girlfriend and i was wearing her clothes or something lol. so i sent this in for a large which fits my fatter stomach and it holds perfectly (lil tight on my stomach but room ) so if you rmid to upper 5foot tall range and heavier like 200 or above and expect a fitted jacket thats tight in some areas, this is PERFECT fit.I expected this to fit a lil tightly so up in my shoulders and arm area they are a lil tight but i have just about full range but that shape is slimming and is supposed to be “FIT” therefore someowhat type. and that is my preference so for me this is perfect. i love the color dark black with nice tron light blue! yes i used TRON to explain the decorative color style of this jacket get over it loli know this doesn’t come with hoodie but really upset they dont offer an affordable all around i would so minus .5 a star for that but i knew the jacket didn’t come with it but on amazon prime and free 2day shipping and quick return of money next day when i shipped my first medium jacket back with no hassle, can’t beat price and service!

Great jacket for everyday use at a great price!
Let me start off by saying I bought one of these jacket about 4 years ago at belk but in black. I pretty much wear it all the time and it still looks great! I decided to buy the same jacket but in grey since I love my other one so much but couldn’t find it anywhere except here on amazon. I’m so glad I found it and ordered it. This jacket is exactly like the other one I have. Both are soft shell, Both repel water, and both keep you nice and warm. The quality of the jacket is great! I haven’t had any loose threads, holes, or stitches coming off and I’ve had this second one for almost a year now. I’m 5″ 11′ about 200 pounds I usually wear a large but I went with a medium and it fits me just right. If you want the jacket to be a bit more loose I would go a size up. My only comment would be that I wish it had a pocket on the inside but that’s it. Overall great jacket, great price, would 100% recommend and buy again.

Great quality, runs a bit larger than expected but that’s okay
Great quality you would expect from the Columbia brand. Ran a tiny bit longer in the arms that I expected, but that’s good for keeping my hands warm. Proper color quality, Nice and thick, but still lightweight. Not not wrinkly. Good size pockets. Very durable, would definitely last multiple years, maybe even decades.

Exceeds all expectations
The name speaks for itself I had to return a similar but cheaper type jacket of a different brand because of quality and fit issues. I have always been pleased with whatever apparel I’ve purchased from Columbia before They might be a little spendy but they’re durable as heck,fit correctly, and raise eyebrows when ppl notice im wearing their brand I have a ski jacket that I purchased from them over 10 years ago and still use on the slopes to this day. It still fits and wears like new In the long run they actually save you money I highly recommend this jacket

Nice Jackets
I purchased these as Christmas gifts for my grandsons. They like them a lot! They come and classic colors. They are perfect weight for warmer winter climates, and can be layered to use in cooler climates. Their style is classic, so I think they will be wearing them for years.

Best purchase EVER
I wanted to get a head start for the fall and this jacket is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been trying to drop some weight so I’m in that awkward in between stages but still a little fluffy so it’s been a challenge with sizes but stayed with the xxl and it fits perfect. I don’t mind the extra room and the end of the sleeves are adjustable, comes with a velcro band. I’m very happy with my jacket. Highly recommend.

Runs a little shorter than expected.
Overall I like the jacket and plan on a lot of use this coming fall. I ordered the 3x size and when I tried it on it didn’t even end up at my waist. I am a bigger fella and I re-ordered the 3X Tall and returned the first one. This 3X Tall one was just right. If you are a little larger around the midsection, consider ordering the tall version.

The best jacket I love from Columbia
I had this jacket for 6 months give or take. 5’5 Man 160Lbs. Jacket has no tear, water resistance to this day (slides right off.) Price honestly, is great. Yes, it’s expensive but it’s one of my favorite jackets. Keeps you warm and makes you like prestigious?! Pockets are also great. No pockets in the inside would have put the icing on the cake, kinda sad about that. Honestly, great.5/5 water resistance (Legit went through a thunderstorm trying to go to my car once, my clothing underneath was not wet at all.)5/5 style4/5 pockets4/5 price (get it if it’s on discount)5/5 would recommend

Light weight compared to previous version
I’ve had this jacket for several years and really enjoyed it. It was time for a new one and I decided to buy it from Amazon. The one I received is much lighter weight than the one I had previously even though it was the exact same brand and make. Probably using less material to save money. The collar was also wrinkled from the stitching. Not the quality I was expecting from Columbia.
