Columbia Sportswear Men's Evergreen Shell Jacket

I picked this one for less than $40 (I should be ashamed of what I paid for it).Looks great, fits perfectly and keeps you warm. It is well worth it's retail price.

This particular Columbia shell is a step up from my previous 5 year old Columbia shell. It's obviously got the same or better technology then shells made 5 years ago. It's got pockets for iPhones and androids, and the inside is "smooth" to slip on. So overall 5 out of 5 stars cause of the color, style, function and brand. The only thing I don't like is the hood is big, and made for a bike helmet or something, but you can just tuck it down.

Love this Jacket :) It is the shell which is exactly what I was looking for that way i can layer :) If I stand in the Sun it get very warm :) Great Jacket :)

This jacket was a gift and the person totally like it. Good quality. The red color looks better than in the photo. It was agood choice for a good price.

However- I thought the Interchange system would allow it to work with my Columbia Ballistic II fleece. It does not. The fleece will not zip into the shell. I finally went to a local store that sells a lot of Columbia products and found a fleece for $55 that would work perfectly. The penny pincher in me told me to put it back and just wear one of my existing fleece jackets underneath without worrying about the zip in feature. So- I saved the $$ and walked away from it.The shell is good- it sheds rain like a champ and is pretty wind proof. The pit zips help regulate the temperature. I can see no actual benefit to the foil-like material on the inside that is supposed to trap heat.The takeaway- a good shell- but Interchange does not necessarily mean what it says. Buy with caution if you are mixing and matching.

Nice shell, works great for skiing. Plenty of room to layer, pit zips add good ventilation. Color is nice, too.

this jacket was HUGE. the large was more like a XXL. also, it was more of a windbreaker than a jacket you could use in the cold. yes you could put a liner with it, but it just felt so cheap and thin. only cool thing was the zipper.

i got this to be a shell coat for skiing, but i doubt i could fit anything under it
