Columbia Sportswear Steens Mountain Full Zip

I bought not one, but five of these jackets for the men in my life at Christmas. My boyfriend has had one for ages, and he had asked for a newer on in a darker color. Though the Columbia Steens Mtn Full Zip jacket is not heavy, it is great to have on hand for short trips into the cold, and for moderately cold winter weather in general. We live in S.C., where it doesn't get too close to 32 degrees on a regular basis, and this jacket is perfect for our weather. It does not have a hood, as asked in an earlier review, but it does have two side pockets, and the fleece is quite plush and soft. The older version of the jacket my boyfriend owns has stayed in great shape over the past two years he's had it. Additionally, I would recommend this jacket to anyone wanting to use it for extra warmth during the spring and fall. I suspect it makes a great shell and a great liner for ski jackets. It's a great value if you buy it so inexpensively from Backcountry.

Hey, just wanted to say that Backcountry is awesome! Super fast shipping! Great prices! Great quality! I bought the Columbia Steens fleece zip-up for my brother for Chrsitmas. He takes a tall size which is hard to find. I had never purchased Columbia gear before and was thrilled to see they offer tall sizes. When it came in the mail I immediately held it up to some of my husband's tall shirts and stuff to get a look at the length. Honestly, it was shorter than most other brands of tall-sized clothing, but at the same time it was indeed longer than regular length clothing, but all in all definitely good bang for the buck!

I'm a Critical Care Registered Nurse and I needed a jacket that was light enough for the extremely MILD Florida winters yet comfortable enough to wear while doing chest compressions for 30 minutes and "professional" appearing enough to wear all night while at work in front of families and patients. This jacket was perfect. 5 of us ordered together and every one of us is extremely satisfied with our purchase. The jacket is mature enough to wear at the patients bedside and doesn't get in the way when work gets busy. The BLACK color is slightly DULL compared to the HEATHER color, but our hospital requires is all black (or white). Love the jacket!!

My husband has broad shoulders so he wears a size large or x-large even though he is not very tall so most jackets can fit him more like a dress than a jacket. This fleece has plenty of room in a large and was just the right length! Very please, great quality, warm, comfortable and the lovely Papaya color is unique without being too loud… He almost lost it while in Alaska and we were prepared to come home and buy another.

I purchased this jacket for my mother at Christmas as the original one I had ordered (from a different company) was not what I expected. This jacket got to me within a few days and I still had it in time for Christmas. My mother loves the jacket and the colour of it, she says it is so soft and comfortable. Thank you so much for your great help and service.

It did fine for me in the Snowies in Wyoming. I just used it and a base layer at night and the early morning. I suspect that some of the viewing audience will need something warmer. [I only wear a hoodie when I sit in the woods and hunt in the winter in Michigan.] But it was a good basic fleece for a good price.
