Columbia womens Oak Ridge Interchange Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great jacket! So versatile and perfect for a climate like ours where it is really cold in the morning but warms up considerably by mid day. Being able to wear the full jacket to start but end up with just the vest later on is a major plus! The jacket is stylish and so well made. I love it!

The other reviewers hit all the key points: noisy fabric, sleeves too long, velcro at sleeves too short, vest fits odd (tight under the armpits and poofy above the shoulders). For me, the jacket was overall too big/boxy except at the lowest part of my hips... and there isn't any mechanism to cinch the waist and create a more flattering fit. The pockets are pretty great, and the white color is also nice (though it doesn't have a noticeable "sheen" like the other colors). A buyer needs to understand that the underneath item is a vest and the outer jacket sleeves are very thin. However, this makes for a pretty decent spring time (California!) rain jacket. I'm returning it since the positives don't outweigh the negatives for me.
