Large was a too big on me, so only have worn it a few times. I usually wear medium, bet if I got a smaller size it would fit perfectly. But from what I can tell, its super warm. Perfect for layering, as its thin but still holds heat, and I love the zipper pockets. It'll keep you warm.

I gave this as an Xmas gift, and it was really liked. He said it was warm and a good mid layer under jackets, and comfortable enough for indoor use. It did feel like a thinner fleece to me, and it doesn't have extra features (wind resistance, vents, etc.), but considering the value if you want a mid layer or lighter fleece it's worth it.

Nice do gray charcoal color, soft, warm, runs a little big.

This is truly a solid jacket warm and comfortable .. Easy to carry in my bag while hiking

Great Jacket! Keeps you warm and not super thick!

I like a soft long sleeve light weight jacket when it gets cold and this is perfect. I can layer it for extra warmth when the temps really drop

I now have three of these I like them do much. Great for a cool day or an office that stays cool. Highly recommend

I purchased this for a buddy that wanted a good classic fleece and wears Columbia well. He is usually a XXL in his Columbia gear and most tops so you can see it's true to size.



It's going to be a great layering piece with no hood and it being that polyester fleece you get the softness and breathability you want from a layering piece. You can wear this in the spring or as mentioned, layering in the fall or winter.

I just received my 2nd one of these jackets....i love them ....cozy..snuggly...warm.
The first one i have to my dad (xl) he is tall and slender...it fits him well

I always buy XL in north face. Marmont. Cloud veil ( runs small) and most Columbia....but this coat i had to get a XXL . WHICH fits nicely...comfy...
So on a positive note..at least my dad got a new coat too!! Lol....

Great jacket for everyday use, looks and feels great! not bulky so you can wear in a variety of occasions.
Down side is the fit runs a bit large so take it into account.

This is a nice.warm.and fuzzy- cozy coat...perfect for days with a light chill....good comfy feeling when i wear this jacket....
The con.... Little tight fit....unless you are in great physical- active shape...this jacket runs a bit snug....i am a regular guy...a touch husky( American i like to say...lol)... But usually i wear XL in the north face...and usually Columbia....slim cut In the abdomen.....but mostly high cut in arm pits and skinny arm...long inn the sleeve like the north face....
It was so cheap i just kept in the closet for a guest coat.....otherwise iwould have exchanged the item for a xxl....i am 6'1" ...235lbs
Bkp

I have bought this jacket for my husband, brother, uncle, father, stepfather and the equivant in kids for my young sons and a women's for myself and my mother!! All have worn it constantly and love it. Not one complaint and the fleece on ALL of them looks new without fuzzing or shedding. Surpasses all other fleece jackets and even puts our northface fleece to shame!

I'm 5'8'' and 160 lb., medium runs a bit large. Ok for cool temperatures. Porous to wind. Overall it's ok for a mid layer.

Feels good and nice and soft fast forward vid to 2:15 to see me wearing this jacket.

I like this one and purchased it for my son.

Very warm, but not bulky. Does fairly well to block wind. It's been washed several times but the fleece has remained soft and intact, and hasn't start to "ball up" as some fleeces do after washing. Still looks and feels as it did the first time I took it out. Great value for the price.

Fits perfectly, great quality, good price. Have ordered this in another color. Fast shipping, very satisfied.

This product is a good buy with great value, kept me warm during the summit trek. Only drawback i think would be the zipper and straps attached to the zipper. It might come off easily as it is only secured by a simple knot.

I placed an order for this jacket on Dec. 18, 2013 and was anxiously waiting for it's arrival. I just got the delivery, Dec. 23, 2013 9:06 p.m. and couldn't be more disappointed. I'm not sure what sizing you use for "men's" jackets/clothing but the size L I ordered is more like a "boys" 18-20 size, if anything it would be closer to a men's size S if that. So now I need to decide if I want to chance reordering this jacket in a men's XXL . . . I find it very strange that two days ago I tried on this same jacket in a local store in a men's size L and it fit very well, to bad it wasn't the color I was looking for. Now I need to invest more time and shipping money into an XXL . . . what are the chances this one will fit or will it be true to size and then another return/money investment will be made? I'm also wondering who wrote the other 3 reviews saying this jacket fits true to size???

I bought this mainly for use under my North Face Bansko jacket, but it's come in handy on warmer fall days all by itself.



This is a good quality product without the price tag of a Patagonia or North Face. Not to say the same tech went into the Columbia but it's a solid jacket.



The thing I love most about this jacket is the sleeve length. I often feel short-sleeved (I'm 6'2" and quite long-limbed) but the Steens provides ample room in the arms and across the shoulders.

I also like the cuffs. They are sort of a short rolled cuff instead of a long cuff. (I've included a picture)



Overall it's a great entry level fleece for all-around cool weather use.
