Columbia Womens Melange Maven Down Jacket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Let me say that I really like this jacket. It is also insulated, so I have no doubt that it will keep me warm. I purchased the Columbia Benton Fleece Jacket about a month ago and I bought this jacket to be layered on top of the fleece jacket. The picture does this jacket no justice. If you want to see a more flattering picture go to the columbia website. This jacket has a very flattering fit also. I am a tall girl; 6'3" to be exact, and I love the fact that the Columbia brand runs long in the arms and torso. This is something that is very important to me because other brands (The North Face)tend to have shorter length sleeves which make me look like Herman Munster..... not sexy! This jacket is $150 everywhere else, so I suggest purchasing this jacket from amazon.com. Amazon also has super fast shipping. I ordered this Saturday evening and received it Tuesday afternoon. Happy Shopping!
I am adding a follow up to my original review. The first day I wore this jacket the high was 36 degrees and it was windy. I also spent an extended period of time outside and stayed completely comfortable the whole day. I was originally skeptical because this is not a large coat. The fact that Columbia has a lightweight, non bulky jacket that WILL keep you comfortable in inclimate weather is AWESOME! I origianlly gave this jacket a four star rating but since wearing it outside I edited my review to a five star rating. I don't even need to layer this jacket on top of my fleece. Hope this helps.
