Review on ๐Ÿงฅ Columbia Women's Power Down Jacket: A top-notch choice for optimal warmth and style by Alycia Sackville

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks great, incredibly light, easy to pack, could be warmer

Don't get me wrong, I love this jacket but I'm giving one star because I expected it to be warmer. I live in Peru and I feel that the Peruvian winter shouldn't equal a down jacket, but. at night (approx. 10-11ยบC, humidity 98%) I get a cold. I also have a Columbia padded jacket, about the same thickness as my down jacket, and I think it's kind of warmer. (The synthetic jacket is light, but not as light as this down jacket and not as compact.) Still, I like this jacket, it looks great, fits great (I'm 5'6", 120 lbs), not bulky, almost weighs nothing, and it's absolutely comfortable. I once had a Northface down jacket in a similar style. The jacket on the north side let almost all of the wind through, so it lost a lot of heat. The Columbia jacket is much better in this regard, it protects better from the wind.

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Negative impression
