Women's Columbia Powder Lite II Hooded Jacket Color: Clematis Blue Size: LARGE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a running coat ad I dress in layers and this met the assignment. Paired it with a fleece underneath and kept me toasty and dry. It's great for outdoor activities and maneuvers well. Mind you I was in 20 degree weather so this was great if looking for a layer coat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket for my spring trip to Amsterdam, thinking it would be a great lightweight jacket for rain and minor cold temps. I really had not planned on wearing it during the winter. However, I am pleasantly surprised by how warm this jacket has been. So far I've worn it during cold weather down in the teens, and during winter storm Cora that came through the south. It has far exceeded my expectations. I've worn sweatshirts or sweaters under it and I've yet to get cold. Granted, I've not been outside for an extended amount of time, usually an hour or less. But it's done great with blowing snow and keeping me dry and warm. I'm normally a size medium and sized up to a large and it's been perfect over my sweaters and sweatshirts. Not bulky at all, and looks great. I'm a taller build, 5'9”, and it's got great length in the arms and midsection. I'm so glad that I bought this!
