Review on πŸ§₯ Columbia Whirlibird Interchange Jacket: The Ultimate Companion for Men's Clothing and Activewear, Now in Compass Design by Joe Ashan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Warning! Omni-Heat reflective coating is peeling off!

I bought a Whirlybird from Dicks Sports about 2 years ago (previous version but with the same reflective lining) and now I've noticed that it flashes shiny silver every time I take my coat off leaves stains. on my clothes and skin. I only wear it for a short time about 4 months a year and have never had to wash it (otherwise it's in great and clean condition). I didn't even want to pick up a coat because I was concerned that the Omni-Heat reflective layer would just be painted on and wear off over time. It looks like my fears were correct. Don't buy anything from Columbia that has this reflective coating; it will not take long! I've been a Columbia fan so far and am otherwise happy with the jacket, but this useless product has taken away a lot of my respect for the brand. I'm covered in Omni-Heat as I type this!
