love it!Mar 20, 2010
By chewygoodness
Being from Miami I haven't owned to many heavy coats but I really like this one! I like the idea that there are two layers and you can remove or wear them both. I got the brown color, which I was a little nervous about, but it looks great! Also fits well: I am 5'5 and 110 lbs and I got the small.

It's sooooo warm!Jan 14, 2011
By Jaws
* color: The white and blue is awesome looking. I managed to keep the white white so far, but it does get dirty if you start rubbing against cars. The good thing is it's waterproof so the stains come off under the snow.
* sizing: It's true to size. I'm 5'2", 105-110lbs, bought an S and I have margin in the jacket.
* warmth: I'm the type of girl who complains it's freezing when it's 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and I was actually warm in this jacket with just a long sleeve thermal underneath, skiing in a windy snow storm. I used to wear a tank top, a long-sleeve thermal, a long sleeve shirt, a wool sweater, and a fleece under my old insulated Columbia convert jacket, just to tell you how much warmth I usually need. So yeah, this jacket is WARM!
* 2 long arm vents at arm pits
* tuck-away ski skirt. It's not in the way if you don't want to use it
* pockets: tons of them.
+ inner shell has 2 "bottom" outer pockets (you know where you expect them to be on a jacket) with zippers
+ outer shell has 2 inner pockets at the chest level: one mesh no-zip goggle pocket and one zip mp3 player pocket with a small hoop to hold your headset.
+ outer shell has 2 "bottom" outer pockets with zippers
pockets complaints (minor)
+ NO pocket at the end of the sleeve (near your hand) to put a scannable pass.
+ Zippers are closed when in upwards position so if you attach your gloves to the zippers it will pull it open.
pockets notes:
+ If you have electronics and plan to put them in the bottom pockets, I would put them in the pockets of the inner jacket. Even though the outer shell is very waterproof, I found my cell phone to be a little damp when left in the outer pocket of the outer shell in very stormy conditions (it was fine in normal conditions). That's probably because you don't get the full effect of the waterproofness if you're using only half of the outer shell to protect it. Also, if you put it in the inner shell, it would be within the snow skirt if you use it. I don't know about the inner chest mp3 player pocket because I haven't tried it.
* attaching your pass:
As said above, no sleeve pocket for the newer scannable passes, and no hook to attach the older metal hook + sticker passes. That's probably my main complaint about this jacket.

love the jacketMay 21, 2010
By example: mark twain
love the versatility of the 3-in-1 jacket. glad that both the outer and inner shell are a true black. as far as looks go, i'm a no-frills type. i like that, if you look in the dictionary under "versatile jacket", there would be a picture of this jacket. simple, but with practical options.
in 20-30 degree snowy weather, the outer shell and liner worked great with a sweater, cotton top and no thermals. it's spring now and i go everywhere in just the liner. the liner works in a slight rain sprinkle, but not a downpour. haven't worn the jacket in the rain yet. my in-laws saw the jacket and snapped a few 3-in-1's up for themselves because, in chicago, if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes. really happy with my purchase.

Awesome JacketOct 12, 2009
By justbrowsing
This is a super warm jacket. As the description says, it is a 3-in-1 jacket. Use the outer shell alone as a windbreaker, use the inner shell alone as an around-town jacket, or use them together to create a super warm outdoor jacket! Really comfortable and nice style.
Love it!!Dec 08, 2010

This coat is amazing! It is even better than I imagined. This is my third Columbia coat and this is my favorite one. The fit is amazing!
