Columbia Ruby Stardust Parka - Women's
Cheap materials, badly finished

Ranked #609 - Women's 3-in-1 Jackets
June 30, 2008
I'm returning mine. Too much cheap, noisy velcro for my liking and it's not finished nicely compared to something like a north face jacket. Material in the outer jacket is not great quality. So I wasn't surprised to read "made in China" on the label. The flap of the zipper (on the black jacket), which falls open when the zip is pulled down a bit, is a cream color which I don't like. The best thing about the jacket is the removable fleece which you could wear independently of the coat itself. But I didn't sign up for an expensive fleece.
