By sw from Portland, Oregon on 11/11/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm a woman, who appreciates the long lasting wear and usually added features of outer men's clothing. I generally buy a woman's large, or man's medium. The medium for this jacket was perfect for me and I can wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath as well. My husband thought it was very attractive.
I am impressed with the coat, seems well made, nice tight stitching, quality materials. Warm, feels good. It is hgher quality than what I see of Columbia sold in department stores.
It worked very well for the brief times that I've been in a steady rain, I think it would do well longer but have no experience with it's long term exposure waterproof or breathable capability.
I've been looking for this type of coat for about two years as a replacement for my REI Elements shell coat I bought 7 years ago which was looking a bit ratty, because of velcro damage on the sleeve. I think it might be a good travel coat as well. Overall a great coat for the price.
I'd like to be able to stash the hood, but it does come off. I'd like more internal secure pockets.

By CambPro from Cambridge, UK on 11/10/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Best Uses: Backcountry, Casual Wear Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The jacket is absolutely fantastic. Columbia simply makes clothing that can last for a life. I've got a Columbia parka since 2000 and it still looks like new after really heavy usage. I just couldn't get anything else apart from Columbia again.
Columbia Sportswear Blade Run Parka By sixz from Amherst, MA on 10/21/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Casual Wear, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The jacket is very comfortable, lightweight and warm. It fits perfect and feels great. I decided to return it because I was not a fan of the brown/kettle color when I saw it in real life. If you like the color, get the jacket because everything else about it is great.
By Nate the Skate from Arkansas on 09/09/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Casual Wear, Downhill, Hiking, Rain Jacket without liner Describe Yourself: Advanced Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is an active fit jacket so it fits closer to the body. The best way to describe it is it runs a size smaller than older style Columbia parkas. For me, my old Columbia Large jacket fit loose and had extra long sleeves. This jacket in Large fits close and the sleeves are just right. If you still want loose and extra long sleeves, order a size larger. AWESOME JACKET! Columbia can't be beat. You can pay more for another NAME but none of them are any better in quality than this Columbia Blade Run.
