Columbia Fast Trek Fleece Jacket - Men's - 2010 BCS

This fleece has a conforming cut with ample arm length. The arm length keeps the sleeve from pulling up during activities. The ONLY thing this fleece is missing is armpit zipper vents. The map pocket is small, so I use it for my cell phone and chapstick. I would purchase again if presented with the opportunity.

Ok, I've owned quite a bit of Columbia gear in my time, and I was somewhat disappointed in this one, but for the price it was a decent deal. I like the style of the jacket, the warmth, and the fact that it is interchange-compatible is nice, but it pretty much stops there. The attention to detail was lacking. Stitching was mediocre, and durability remains to be seen. What mainly ticked me off was the absense of YKK zippers. What is the world coming to? Also the zipper pulls were all tied wrong and I had to retie them. The cinch pulls were a little weird, but fairly functional. Call me picky, but to me the details are what set apart the quality items from the crap. Not that this is crap, it's just nothing special. Overall, it's pretty warm for it's weight and was pretty inexpensive, so it's not a bad buy if you're on a budget and don't care if the zippers wear out after a while. If you care, you're probably better off with something else.

Great for windy Spring days that drop into the 40's at night. I've owned several fleece underliners from Columbia in the past, but this simple, straight-forward jacket is by far my favorite. I ordered a Men's Medium, which is what I normally wear in T-shirts, and was still able to comfortably fit 2 thin layers underneath. The "map pocket" is really only large enough to fit an ID, credit card, and maybe a few small pieces of paper; so don't expect to actually keep a map in there.

Great fleece- just know the grey (charcoal) fleece doesn't have the green zipper anymore. The picture is an outdated photo. The zipper is black.

Good fleece. They do run on the small side though.

I have several Columbia products and was a bit disappointed in these. They were a size smaller than the other Columbia products I currently own and the fabric was much thinner. Perhaps there could be some way to list the fabric thickness in millimeters or something so it is easier to judge weight of material before purchase? However the purchase and return was easy and I may shop here again.
