This is not an interchange style.

No it does not.

The softshell listing is erroneous. Down jackets have a filling (of down) in them while a softshell is a hybrid of fleece and rain jacket. This jacket is probably super puffy and the nylon outer material is flimsy. It is warm, but not designed for use outside of walking around town.just to add, the nylon is thin but I would use it outside as it is a superlight insulating layer. Some examples would be using it when you are taking a break at the summit or stopping for when you are skiing. Not sure when the above poster meant by not using it outside. I use it all the time outside just not for terrain where it might get damaged such as bushwhacking. But then I wouldn't wear down jacket for that anyways. Thats what a hard/soft shell is for.

its not as light as the Mont-Bell but its a lot warmer for sure. I will get the measurements later for you. If I were to choose, I would choose the columbia one. The Mont-Bell one is just way too thin for -10 degrees celsius. It is just more versatile as it is more insulated. You should check it out first in person to see if that is what you want.In my opinion you'll get a much higher quality jacket with the MontBell. Columbia works better for inexpensive clothing designed for work or in-town knock-around outerwear. If you want something that's better suited for the mountains, get the MontBell.DG: .80 lbs. Also, center back length for size large is 30", that is the benefit of buying Columbia they have decent sizing that doesn't leave you feeling like some androgynous French cragsman.
