Columbia Sportswear Ballistic Fleece Jacket - Titanium, Windproof (For Men)

Looks good and seems to be made well. Columbia missed the mark when it comes to the fit. I'm 5 '10, athletic build. shoulders are too narrow and tight. Like the jacket but the shoulder fit is poor. I'm a medium in most, this is a large and it's borderline small.

This is a great jacket, and very windproof. Not as warm as I was hoping, but it is a soft SHELL, not an insulating layer. I have found it comfortably windproof in 45 mph winds. With an insulating layer, it was very comfortable today with wind chill temps in the teens. This was during casual wear, on a hiking trip, the jacket would be extremely warm due to exercise.

Absolutely great jacket. Stops wind dead. It is on the slim side, so if you are used to Columbia's normal fit, you may want to order up. I ordered a medium (5'9"/175lbs/41 chest) and it was trim through the waist and midsection - which I was looking for - but too tight across the shoulders and back to be comfortable, especially if I were to add layers underneath.

Nice versatile jacket. I thought I would hate the papaya color, but it's growing on me. Fits and feels great.

I first ordered a medium (typical size for me), but it was way too small (too tight). A replacement large size is a bit too big for me, but on the whole I'm quite happy with this jacket. Although the sizing seems a bit off, I really like the jacket and would buy it again, especially for the price.

Really nice jacket. Cut a little on the slim side, but I'm (@6'0", 173#) ok with that. The weight is spot-on, not to heavy and not too light. The windproffing is good and it is quite warm. Use it for a mid-layer in winter mountain activities or at a primary for Fall/Early Winter. I got the orange color and it's sexy! Looks like the North Face Denali jacket... but at less than 1/2 the price (at STP), and in my opinion, better built.

This blocks the wind out when I'm outside and is so warm I'm sweating in it when I'm wearing it inside! LOVE IT!

I purchased this jacket for a fall trip to the north east for a outside job during bad storms. No trouble staying warm even in extremely windy and damp conditions. The same was true staying comfortable on warmer days (with the pit zips). The jacket definitely has a tight athletic fit through the shoulders and waist. The close fit limits the clothing layers you can have and a bulky sweater is definitely not an option. I almost wish that I had sized up for layering. The inner cuffs definitely keep wind out and the pit zippers are great for cooling in warmer weather. The zipper is not a 2 ways and with the tight fit in the waist sitting, driving, etc results you having to unzip the jacket. Not sure why Columbia stopped the 2 way zippers sever years ago. Bottom line: A durable jacket that does its job

I bought this for my boyfriend last week. He loves it. It is warm, stylish, the green color looks great with his red hair. The one con is that it is a little tight in the hips. It was just a bit tight and getting the size up would have made the whole fleece huge.

Seems very versatile. Worn alone or with a rain jacket will provide much protection from the elements. I wear it daily in 65 degree and lower temps. Have used it on runs and ventilation is good when needed.
