Sleek, Stylish, and Warm...Great for MOST Cold Temperatures!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2016
I live in Wisconsin where we live in jackets for at least six months out of the year, and possibly more, depending on the weather. Our closet is filled with jackets for all seasons and types of weather but I couldn't resist buying this jacket when I saw it. I have worn Columbia jackets, among other name brands, for years and Columbia has always been my favorite. They are warm, stylish, and very flattering so I was very excited to get this jacket and start wearing it!The Columbia Women's Mighty Lite III Jacket is a lightweight yet warm winter jacket. It is made with the Omni-Heat technology which uses your own body heat to help keep you warm and keep the warmth inside the jacket. The shell and lining are both made of 100% polyester and the insulation is made of 50% polyester and 50% recycled polyester. The tag says it's machine washable in cold water and can be dried on low heat. I have not yet washed mine but when I do, I will add that information to this review. This jacket is made in Vietnam. The inside of the jacket is reflective and the outside has a quilted look to it. It contains two zippered outer pockets and one zippered inner pocket for your valuables. The sleeves also contain thumb holes (much like performance hoodies) but you don't have to use those if you don't want to. The product description states this jacket has a drawcord hem but either mine doesn't have one or the information is incorrect. Either way, that doesn't bother me since it fits me fine the way it is.For size reference, I am 5'6", 165 pounds with a 36D chest and I ordered a large which fits perfectly! I generally wear large with most jackets so I feel the sizing for this jacket is as expected. I am able to wear shirts, lightweight hoodies, and thick hoodies with it and still zip it comfortably with extra room. When I put it on, the bottom reaches about halfway down my rear and the sleeves are the perfect length. It's not an incredibly puffy jacket so you can easily stash it in a backpack and it would be great for using while traveling. I wear it out a lot when I'm running errands or going to church. This jacket is very versatile so you can wear it casually or for a dressy occasion. I love the black color because it's sharp and looks good with anything. It also is a nice black color, not a charcoal color like how some black jackets end up looking. It's a slim fit so if you prefer a little more room, I'd suggest sizing up one size.I've been wearing this jacket a lot lately so I've been able to test it out in colder temperatures. We've had some 20-degree days, windy days, and more mild days. I've found this jacket works well in about 20 degrees or warmer, with a sweatshirt underneath, and it keeps me fairly warm. I wore it one night when we were outside for awhile and it was windy, about 25 degrees, and I was freezing so I don't feel this jacket is very windproof but you could always add layers to accommodate that. Here in the Midwest, we get subzero temperatures with windchills near -20 or colder and this jacket wouldn't help much in those temperatures for an extended period of time, but usually we just stay inside if it's that cold! If you are looking for a jacket for extreme temperatures, I don't feel this one will work well for that but 20 degrees and above, depending on the wind, it should work great.Overall, I am so happy I bought this jacket because I've been wearing it a lot lately! It's sleek, stylish, and warm without adding a lot of bulk. It's great for most cold temperatures and would be perfect for college students who have to trek across campus, moms who are hustling their kids in and out of the car, and any woman who needs a nice, warm jacket! I've always loved Columbia products and they are my go-to brand for nearly all of my winter gear. I highly recommend this jacket if you want, or need, a jacket that will keep you warm this winter!
Fits True to Size And Beautiful Color and Fit!

Received this coat today via prime (in under 48 hours) and love it. Got it in light grape, and it's a gorgeous color. I had originally ordered an XL based on reviews and it was way too big on me (I'm 5'8" and a size 12, 36 C). Sending that one back and keeping the large, which fits beautifully! I haven't yet weather tested the jacket, but will update the review accordingly if it doesn't pass muster - but based on other reviews, I have high hopes!UPDATE: Wore the jacket on a ski trip to MT this past weekend. I didn't wear it to ski, but wore it everywhere else (and as a layer for skiing) and it was perfect (since it is toasty warm, but thin). The pictures posted show it unzipped. But, when it is zipped, it has a nice, fitted look and shows off your shape. But, even though it is fitted, I was still able to layer under it (you can see a I had an undershirt with a turtleneck and a fleece, and the jacket still fit fine). Field test complete - and totally passed! I love, love, love this jacket!
I realized I have a Columbia jacket from years ago and that one is an XS but not form fitting like this one is

I bought a size SMALL after being wishy washy on what size to buy. It fits just right and even fits a bulky fabric hoody underneath (To my sheer and utter surprise considering everyone says it runs slightly small). I am 5'5 (30x30 Levi's jeans) and my measurements in inches are 35 bust (B cup) 29 waist 35 hips, which I had difficulty figuring out what to buy (small or medium?). I realized I have a Columbia jacket from years ago and that one is an XS but not form fitting like this one is. I think had I of gone XS, my stomach would eventually burst the seams or wouldn't allow a bulky hoody and thus Small was a great GUESS/fit. I think I would have been unhappy with medium since my measurements were both within small and medium.... XS wasn't even on my radar. So confusing!

This jacket is absolutely perfect. So comfortable, the color is amazing. True to size & a perfect fit. I'm 5'11", weigh 160lbs and a 36d chest. I have long arms & a long torso with a bit of a tummy pooch (having 4 kids will do that) but generally I have an hourglass type figure. I ordered an XL and the fit couldn't be better. Plenty of length in the arms, not tight around the chest or tummy. Enough room for layering. PERFECTION! the thumb holes are a plus, the secret inside pocket is a nice touch. The lining of this coat is a cool foil type heat insulation & it looks really cool! I got the color nightshade and it is a gorgeous navy blue. The Columbia tag on this coat says $110 so I'd say this is a STEAL for the quality you get!

Me encantó el color, la tela muy ligera con la que esta elaborada y debido a la tecnologÃa que usa mantiene la temperatura por lo que es muy útil. Las mangas son muy lindas y no dejan que entre el aire. Largo perfecto: ni muy larga, ni muy corta.

Calientita, excelente calidad y super ligera. Para aquellos que busquen que esta sea una chamarra de nieve deberán buscar otras opciones o marcas especializadas, la funcionalidad de esta chamarra es mas casual para climas frÃos de ciudad aunque seguro te protegen de una buena nevada con ropa térmica debajo. Simplemente la amo!

Es una chamarra ligera que gracias a su forro te permite guardar muy buena temperatura corporal a pesar del frÃo. Calidad Columbia indiscutible, sin embargo el corte viene slim, por lo que puede quedarte justa si la compras en tu talla habitual. También la parte superior viene algo estrecha, por lo que la debes considerar si eres de busto grande.La tela es de calidad, y los "guantes" incluidos en las mangas la hacen una excelente opción para tener en tu guardarropa para las epocas de frÃo.

Esta chamarra no es tan calientita como lo describen , si es muy ligera pero la verdad si sientes frÃo es conveniente traerla a una temperatura de 14`C me decepcionó el producto ya que con el frÃo que hace necesitas traer algo grueso abajo

Es la segunda vez que compro una chamarra columbia por amazon, mi primer compra en 2019 la tuve que devolver 3 veces por que estaba muy rota y terminé pidiendo una devolución de mi dinero .Esta año volvà a comprar en enero otra vez la chamarra y volvió a llegar rota, descubrà que amazon reetiqueta ( asumo que para importar ) si revisan la fotografia la costura se ve super fea en color blanco , y en ese proceso rompen la chamarra, como me urgia para un regalo no la devolvà y la mande a arreglar con una costurera, pero si por favor consideren que es muy comun que las chamarras importadas lleguen rotas .. al menos llevo 3 reclamos por la misma causa .

A nice jacket but be sure to order the correct size. No exchanges. In order to return, there is a 20 percent restocking fee and shipping fees to the US. Costly to return.
