Columbia Womens Carson Pass Ic Jacket Velvet Cove X-Small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed to replace Columbia knee length coat that could not be repaired. As most winter coats are sold out this time of the year, I chose to try this interchangeable parka. At first a litte skeptical as it is really a raincoat with a hood and a removeable inner jacket; which seemed very thin. The first day I wore it, it rained and I had no umbrella. To my surprise it was absolutly waterproof! Later, I wore it again and the temperature went up and I was too hot! In remembering that I could remove the inner jacket to wear separately, I did so and it was perfect for the warmer temperature. Together they perform well, except when its below 30 degrees I still need to layer a wool sweater to be comfortably warm. The hood you can remove, however, it is not attached in a way as to keep the cold drafts from seeping through when wearing up on your head. And mine didn't have a drawstring in the waist; I turned it inside out and tried every cord I saw, but no drawstring. Overall, I would recommend it for the versatility; however, if you live in the Mid West with fluctuating temps, add a layer when needed and you should be warm enough. I still have to get a longer coat as my thighs/legs need coverage for our varying and unknown weather conditions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Four reasons why...It's 1. Warm, 2. Fit is perfect, 3. Waterproof, and 4. Cute 1. Warm: this coat kept me warm on a windy 20 degree day with just a sweatshirt underneath it. 2. Fit is perfect: I am 5' 2”, 108 pounds, small boned and ordered a small...and it fits perfect! 3. Waterproof: just an added bonus! 4. Cute: The coat looks great on too. I've received many compliments on it. You'll love this coat ❤️
