Columbia Blade Run II Parka - Men's
Almost Great

I thought it could be warmer. I was still cold in the back and chest when it got down in the teens. There was enough room for an added layer so it was acceptable. I am a big guy and the armpit fittings were a little snug and the waist a little loose. If I wore an additonal layer the armpit location felt too constricting. Also if I were to raise my hands over my head, there was not enough play there to be comfortable. NOW after saying all that, I thought the parka was GREAT and did its job.
