This is a great jacket to have. However, it is not windproof. It is good for early fall and spring.

Super soft, and comfy fleece. Looks pretty good too. Got it as a gift and fell in love with it. However wasn't quite warm or versatile enough to make the backcountry kit. Casual cut not great for active pursuits. Leaked like a sieve with any sort of breeze. Pockets are situated low for casual use but mostly inaccesible with backpack on. If your looking for an affordable comfortable fleece for casual use, look no further. For serious hiking, backpacking, climbing you'll probably want to go a little higher end.

This fleece is durable and warm down to 50*F, but doesn't have any wind blocking ability. Use accordingly.

I'm a Critical Care Registered Nurse and I needed a jacket that was light enough for the extremely MILD Florida winters yet comfortable enough to wear while doing chest compressions for 30 minutes and "professional" appearing enough to wear all night while at work in front of families and patients. This jacket was perfect. 5 of us ordered together and every one of us is extremely satisfied with our purchase. The jacket is mature enough to wear at the patients bedside and doesn't get in the way when work gets busy. The BLACK color is slightly DULL compared to the HEATHER color, but our hospital requires is all black (or white). Love the jacket!!

First let me say that BackCountry is the best. I ordered this jacket on a Wednesday mourning. BackCountry had in the mail within 40 minuets of my order. Their service is the best. On to the Columbia Steens Mountain Full Jacket. It's exactly what I was looking for. It was the right size and the right price. Thank you Backcountry!!!!

The jacket is great. Its so warm I drove to work the other day and didn't realize I had not turn on the heat in the car...I live in New England! As for the shipping...it was wicked fast as advertised.

My Columbia "Fleece" is a constant companion. Being 6'7" and 285 lbs. means that finding stuff that fits is sometimes a challenge. This XXL Tall is right on the price, the fit and the durability. I enjoy wearing it alone, or as a layer and don't look forward to the day I wear it out!

I have used a Columbia Steens Mountain Full Zip Jacket (Men's) for 3 months in several hiking trips. The jacket looks beautiful, is very warm, fits well, and is extremely conformable. I loved it so much, and bought a second one for wearing in and around my house and to work. A best buy I have ever made!

This men's fleece jacket is warm, comfortable, looks durable, and yet light-weighted. I bought a Columbina Navy color, and it looks really nice and good fit. The zip works very well. Definitely a good buy at this price! Strongly recommend it for spring and fall weather.

This is a very nice fleece. It looks and fits nice. Its a great all around fleece. It also has pretty large pockets which are great for carrying a camera, I even fit a pair of flip flops in them. This is a great fleece for the price.

Nice Fleece Jacket /Especially for the price but fits way to tight/returned

I love this zip up fleece! Good quality and warm enough to wear as a jacket. It also looks really good. The sizing on this fleece is a little large though. I wear a medium and I got this in a small because Columbia usually runs a little big. Even the small was almost to big for me. Keep that in mind!

This is a great fleece for the price. I've been wearing it as a jacket around town during the winter and it's kept me pretty warm. It does run a bit big though. I'm 5'9" 155 pounds and a small is almost too big for my liking.

Got a medium for my husband who is almost 6 feet tall; and somewhere around 170lbs. It fits him well and he wears it often. It is a nice layer to throw on while inside during the winter; and it is appropriate for fall, spring, and even winter when it's not quite cold enough for the wool winter coat. Price was great too!

This is a basic fleece for a reasonable price. It does not have any fancy features--just the basics like two packets and a drawstring bottom. Personally, I think that calling them a jacket is a bit of a stretch. To me, these have always been a midlayer.

My husband has broad shoulders so he wears a size large or x-large even though he is not very tall so most jackets can fit him more like a dress than a jacket. This fleece has plenty of room in a large and was just the right length! Very please, great quality, warm, comfortable and the lovely Papaya color is unique without being too loud… He almost lost it while in Alaska and we were prepared to come home and buy another.

I bought this for my brother for Christmas and he loves it!

The fleece was very roomy and comfortable. Provided nice layer for chilly days with a tee. If you buy the navy one, it's lighter in color than the photo displays.

The Large Tall was just the right size for my 6'4" frame. Warm as usual. I now have 3 of these jackets.

This is a great jacket as long as you know what you're getting. It's not for super cold days and it won't stop the wind, but it's a nice comfortable jacket for moderately chilly days. I'm 6'3" 195lbs and I got the Men's L-Tall. Fits perfectly, not too long but great coverage.

I purchased this jacket for my mother at Christmas as the original one I had ordered (from a different company) was not what I expected. This jacket got to me within a few days and I still had it in time for Christmas. My mother loves the jacket and the colour of it, she says it is so soft and comfortable. Thank you so much for your great help and service.

I gave this as a gift and the recipient loves it. Looks wonderful on, nice and warm but also stylish. This is a great jacket!

It did fine for me in the Snowies in Wyoming. I just used it and a base layer at night and the early morning. I suspect that some of the viewing audience will need something warmer. [I only wear a hoodie when I sit in the woods and hunt in the winter in Michigan.] But it was a good basic fleece for a good price.

Warning! if your

I was looking something for casual use and this was perfect. Excellent for hanging out and works great at my job, especially when I have to sit several hours beneath an AC vent. Very warm for such a thin and light jacket. Already got three different colors and am gonna get three more. It really is that good!!!

I received one of these fleeces for Christmas from my grandmother and loved it. I have since bought four more! They are great to just hang out in to stay warm and comfortable. I reccomend them to anyone who likes fleeces and wants to buy one for an incredibly low price!!

Awesome jacket, it's comfortable, warm and versatile. I highly recommend this light weight jacket!

is perfect for my use, inside another jacket! and as good as any stiffer priced fleece, why pay 60-80 bucks!

Comfortable jacket for around town. Keep in mind, no windstopping ability at all. Super soft. Use it to layer up. Overall, exactly as advertised. Nice price! Thanks BC!!!

soft and comfy fleece, for the price

great

liked it compleatly

I bought not one, but five of these jackets for the men in my life at Christmas. My boyfriend has had one for ages, and he had asked for a newer on in a darker color. Though the Columbia Steens Mtn Full Zip jacket is not heavy, it is great to have on hand for short trips into the cold, and for moderately cold winter weather in general. We live in S.C., where it doesn't get too close to 32 degrees on a regular basis, and this jacket is perfect for our weather. It does not have a hood, as asked in an earlier review, but it does have two side pockets, and the fleece is quite plush and soft. The older version of the jacket my boyfriend owns has stayed in great shape over the past two years he's had it. Additionally, I would recommend this jacket to anyone wanting to use it for extra warmth during the spring and fall. I suspect it makes a great shell and a great liner for ski jackets. It's a great value if you buy it so inexpensively from Backcountry.

just a nice fit. wear over in mild weather or in cold weather with a hoody under. looks gooodd

I bought this jacket for my son for christmas. He loves the jacket but for a 3XL tall is is very short. I wanted to send it back but he had already worn it. Mayby the length should be listed when buying the garment as this is obviously shorter than other tall garments I have purchased.

I bought them as Christmas gifts for my co-workers and they loved them. Bought me one too, the jackets are so warm and soft. Delivery was very fast and on time!!

This item has all the benefits of Layers and has worked well for myself and associates in the Mountains and my work with Horses in the show ring ... I recommend it to anyone looking for a good fit in performance and durability.

As well made as any other fleece of a similar weight, but without the cost that often goes with it. A great jacket that belongs in every hikers wardrobe in Spring/Fall.

I absolutely love this jacket. So comfy and warm. I wear it to work and to play. I am not a huge outdoors person, but I do go ont he occasional hike and think it will be perfect.

my fleece jacket is nice, it is chilly days here in Germany and my jacket is just what i needed.
Thanks

I ordered about 220 of these jackets for our holiday party and everyone loves them - they are warm and soft to the touch. Not black maybe more dark charcoal. But still great!!

This was a great deal on a columbia fleece!

Top quality as Columbia is known for. Really good deal and quick shipping. Thank you Backcountry Five Stars.

I ordered this jacket for my son for Christmas and he loves it. He had one in black but lost it to a friend. I really like the grey better, it is a very nice color with depth to it. It is just a really nice jacket for alot better price than you would pay at a regular store.

I ordered this for my husband as a Christmas gift. He picked it out online and sent me the link as part of his "list". I was so pleased with the service, fast shipping and price. Best of all he is thrilled, it fits perfect, and looks great on him. (He is a size 2XLT, hard to fit!)

Very comfy. I got the tall size but it fits like a regular length jacket. Other than I like it. Good quality for the price. I do wear it as often as I would like because of the length, but I will wear it to work in the yard or take the dog for a walk.

Hey, just wanted to say that Backcountry is awesome! Super fast shipping! Great prices! Great quality! I bought the Columbia Steens fleece zip-up for my brother for Chrsitmas. He takes a tall size which is hard to find. I had never purchased Columbia gear before and was thrilled to see they offer tall sizes. When it came in the mail I immediately held it up to some of my husband's tall shirts and stuff to get a look at the length. Honestly, it was shorter than most other brands of tall-sized clothing, but at the same time it was indeed longer than regular length clothing, but all in all definitely good bang for the buck!

Love the fleece jacket! Definitely recommend the jacket and Backcountry.com

Bought this jacket for my son for Christmas, he loved it. Its an ideal jacket for those cool winter months that we have down here in Florida but not so warm that you want to throw it off after a short amount of time. It is extremely good quality,comes in many colors and I would highly recommend purchasing it. Great company:)

Ordered one for 9 family members at the holidays! From the 6 month old to the tall men,the shorter woman and the roly-poly woman,all fit and were snuggly warm. The full length zipper allows good temp control and the pockets are good. Great items.

This was so affordable that I thought it might not be that well made, but it was really good quality. It made a great gift for my Brother in Law!

this has to be the best product Columbia has ever put out.. I recommend this product to everyone

I was trying to buy one of these simular to the one made by Polartec but not as expensive, this isn't it. This is good for temps above 30F, anything lower or if the wind is blowing, I have to wear a shell over it. If somebody knows of a water/wind proof fleece, please info, thanks.
