Columbia Women's Kruser Ridge II Softshell, Marionberry, X-Large at Amazon Women's Coats Shop

Needed a jacket to walk my dog during the fall and spring. It didn't have to be pretty, but it needed to be water resistant and warm enough to wear in 40-60 degree weather. This jacket is actually cut to flatter a woman's figure (surprisingly) and fills my needs. I normally wear and xl (5'5" 180 pounds)...i ordered the xl and it's actually roomy enough for me to put a heavy sweater or a fleece underneath. If you've ordered Columbia before, you know that many of their jackets tend to run small, but this one does not, so don't order up.

Yes it’s warm and very comfortable. I’m 5’3 and I weigh around 195. I go up and down in weight. I wanted a jacket that that wasn’t bulky and had a nice fit. This jacket was perfect. I ordered an XL. It is a bit big, but it’s big enough to fit even a sweater under it or not. It fits perfect around my chest area.

This jacket is perfect for our fall weather in New England. The fleece lining is so warm for those night soccer games. This is the Kruser Ridge II. I like it better than the original Kruser Ridge. The binding on the sleeves makes it warmer and although the arms are a bit long, it makes it nice to pull your hands in just in case you forgot your gloves! This second version is a bit thinner than the original, making it look and feel less bulky. Buy this jacket, you won't be dissappointed!

Columbia is known for quality and this jacket does not disappoint. There's a soft fleece lining with an outer layer that blocks wind. It's perfect sizing that for me (5'7", 130 lbs) it isn't too large that it hangs when worn alone, but is large enough to easily fit a hoodie/sweatshirt/sweater underneath for maximum warmth with layering.It doesn't make any sound during movement, doesn't have any smell, has large enough pockets to fit a smartphone, and has long sleeves so a long-armed person like me will have enough coverage.I also appreciate that the outer layer is made of material that, while does collect some dog hair, is very easy to wipe away without need for a lint brush, which was something I was looking for.

I was looking for a jacket that is comfortable and wind proof. This jacket fits the bill! It is lightly fleece lined and is a great fit.
