With the Columbia Men’s Crag Mountain II Softshell Jacket, you get the waterproof breathable protection of a hardshell with the unrestricting stretch of a softshell. The jacket’s wicking liner helps pull moisture from your body during high-output activities, and the waterproof shell fabric shields you from nasty weather. Wear it alone on wet bike rides or cool fall hikes, or zip it into a compatible Columbia shell for a bombproof ski jacket.

Bottom Line: The perfect blend of stretch and protection.

Awesome Jacket

By:
June 4, 2010

I got this in November, and wore it every day during winter. This single handedly replaced my winter jacket when layered with some warm clothes. It has no insulation, but serves as an awesome wind blocker, and the water resistance is pretty good too (though it wears off quickly). I even crashed on my bike with this thing on, landed right on the elbow and skidded, and it LITERALLY does not have a scratch on it. Layered up, I took it skiing in ten degree weather and it blocked the wind really well. Fit is great, I got a small and I'm 5'11" and 140 pounds, with long arms.

How does this jacket compare to the Columbia Ascender? I want a softshell that holds up to the wind but can also zip into my columbia shell when snowboarding. Anyone tried out both of these?

The Crag is a a closer fit and the Ascender is more generous, as another bit of differentiation

Hey Eman. I've tried out both the Crag Mountain II and the Ascender. In my opinion the Crag Mountain is far and beyond a better jacket. It cuts wind, sheds water, and fits much better than the Ascender jacket. I would whole heartedly recommend the Crag Mountain over the Ascender. If you're looking for something even beefier, check out the Columbia Ice Ax II Softshell.

Crag 1

By:

5'10" 160 I liked the fit of the medium with only one base layer. Great for the motorcycle in jacket weather and never got wet around town.

It's a bit less stretchy than other thinner H02 repellent softshells but fine for things other than running.

The zipper started pulling apart from the bottom so I returned it for the lifetime guarantee.

Considering i paid $60 on closeout I'm happy.

How does the Crag Mountain Jacket compare to the Snowline and North Face's Apex Bionic jackets? I live in Washington DC and am looking for a three season Jacket that is light, but can keep me warm on colder days/nights. Which of the three would be best?

The Crag Mountain is wind proof and water resistant. This is a great everyday piece and layering piece for the colder days. It is interchange capable so can attach to any Titanium shell.

Awesome jacket, good buy

By:

Excellent jacket, very well made and sturdy feel. As said by Ain, it is less "stretchy" than other soft shells I've had, but that is because it is a more solid jacket, quite capable and handling a beating. I am 5'10 and 130 lbs and a medium fits me very well, with enough room for 2 layers. Also, this jacket is not super warm, if you are going to be in a cold area you will need base layers with it. Otherwise great buy

One of the best buy's I've made!

I love this jaket. I was looking for a jacket that could stand up to rain, snow, and high winds, and on top of that, still be the right weight that I can wear it in the fall or spring. So far, its been perfect, and I wear it all the time. Its waterproof, you don't even feel the wind while your wearing it, and I'm sure it'll do just as good in the winter as well. It moves well with you, without restricting movement the way most jackets that are form-fitting do. Worth every penney, and I'd definitely pick this jacket over all of the North Face jackets that I see around.
