Columbia 3-in-1 winter parka
Liked the sale price.
Sizing is just right for me.
Delivery was exceedingly quick.
2 Suggestions to improve jacket:
1) Add insulation or lining to hood. As the current shell, it only keeps wind or wet weather off head. Doesn't keep head warm. I bought this jacket because I'm always cold in winter. With our "teens and below zero temps", the hood doesn't match the rest of the jacket's warmth.
2) Make the zipper 2-way, so it can be opened from the bottom for comfort and less stress on zipper when sitting. Perhaps a sturdier zipper. Currently, there is no problem with the zipper. However, I am concerned that with as much as I take my jacket off & put it back on, plus the stress on bottom of zipper, that the zipper won't last long.
Thank you!
