I am very happy with my jacket. It was exactly what I was looking for and of course what I expected from Columbia. It has many pockets which comes to be very important during the winter when I usually carry many things (glasses, gloves, cellphone, wallet, etc). The materials are just great and it is true to size (I am 5.8 ft and 160 pounds). columbia.com
