Columbia Peak Ascent Shell - Men's

Item #COL2585 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Pretty nice

By Ranked #1030 - Men's Technical Shells December 10, 2010

I have owned Columbia jackets for years, and this one replaces another. Anything in the Columbia Titanium line is quality. I bought this one primarily for skiing as its just a technical shell, and I get pretty hot skiing. It is thin - you can almost see through parts of it from the inside, and because of this it is not very warm. But the jacket is made for layering. With a windproof fleece on underneath, this jacket has been awesome during some snowstorms in the upper peninsula so far. It doesn't get 5 stars because of the zipper - because it is a sealed waterproof one it frequently does not zip. You need to work at it for a while to align it correctly before it will move. Overall, a great buy for skiing as long as you layer properly underneath.

I am 6'1" 185 lbs, and the large fits great.
