Color and fit is great but the zipper comes apart at bottom a lot. I really wanted to love it and have made my son use it for this season but despite the fact that is should fit next year too it will be replaced

My first time to order from Back Country and I had a son tell me where he had bought a cute pullover he bought and he got it from here. So I ordered a jacket, the collegiate color because with the little red on the front it was his school colors. I received it 15 minutes ago and I was so excited I couldn’t wait to open it to se the beautiful coat. Well I was so disappointed I couldn’t wait to write this review! There wasn’t anything on the jacket red!!! Not one little ribbon or anything, so it gets 5 stars for not being the exact picture, I wouldn’t have ever purchased without looking identical to picture. I didn’t read any reviews before I purchased and I always count on my review reading but it was for my grandson and I was more interested in how it looked. We live in Mississippi so I knew it would be warm enough, I put too much in what the picture looked like. I’m sure it’ll keep him warm and the colors that are in the jacket are deep colors, good looking jacket but it’s not like the picture. I’m not going to send it back because he needs a jacket last week not in 2 more weeks. I don’t know about the zippers, I read other reviews after receiving this and people were talking about the zippers ripping. All I can say is that they don’t have any kind of long ribbon like the picture shows and I tried unzipping the jacket and it is a little flimsy. I’ll tell him to be careful with the zippers before he tries ripping into it. Otherwise for warmth and rain this jacket will be fine but it’s just not as pictured and I’ll never order from this site again! I hope this helps.

Too long and too narrow

I ordered this in my son's regular size and it barely zips up because it is narrow, yet the sleeves are way too long and the coat itself is too long. Ordering a bigger size to fit around the middle would be even longer

I bought this for my 11 year old son and didn't know about the faulty zipper initially because he doesn't zip his coat. However, with the recent below zero wind chills we realized that the zipper splits up from the bottom constantly. I've had it 34 days so cannot return it for a refund. I will be replacing this coat for a North Face from Moosejaw.

I bought this for my very picky 10-year-old son before a trip snowboarding. The jacket does feel a bit light so you may want to layer underneath it however he loves the look and the way it fits. For the price, I don’t know how you could find something better!

Due to kids growing fast and kids tend to loose things I have now bought 4 of these jackets over the past three years. The following are the reasons I keep coming back: 1. Warm enough to keep them warm on cold days and while skiing 2. The hood fits so good my kid always puts it on 3. The quality is great 4. You can put it in the washing machine and it looks great coming out 5. It's a great value for the price

My seven year old son's previous coat became too small so in a crunch, we tried out this website to order a coat. I received it and within the second time of him wearing it, the zipper split. When attempting to exchange the product, I was informed that I had to either send the faulty coat back and then wait for the replacement (leaving him without a coat for days), or purchase a new coat and then send the faulty one back and wait approximately two weeks to receive my money back. With neither being an option and with no better option presented to me, I have decided to purchase a new coat elsewhere and just receive my money back for this faulty coat. The customer service rep offered to help me find a "more durable option" stating that Columbia offers the best discounts, however, they do not offer the best quality. Not exactly what you want to hear on your first time purchasing from this site.

I bought this coat for my son as an early birthday present before we got snow. It's well made and looks very warm, like all Columbia coats we've owned. The only thing is that the torso runs much narrower than other Columbia coats I have purchased for him. So even though the sleeves are long enough, I am returning for the next size up so that hopefully it will fit next winter too.

I grabbed a couple of these for my nephews who were visiting here in Utah for Christmas. They needed something extra warm as they are used to the warm winters down in Phoenix. The 240 grams of synthetic insulation pulled through. They played in the snow frequently and never seemed to get too cold!

Are these coats good for the Minnesota cold weather. I see the news anchors wear these coats and jackets just so Curious on any pictures unzip the coats for display that would be very nice
