Columbia Women's Warm Whiteout™ Sweater

Whiteout conditions outside call for plenty of firewood, a board game or two and this soft, sporty sweater.

This sweater looks longer in the pictures than it actually is. It also doesn't have pockets. It's not at all what I was expecting, not nearly as cute on as it is in the pic.

I ended up returning this item because it is extremely scratchy. The buttons were much smaller than in the photo, and it fit more snuggly than I prefer
I do not recommend this product.

I am one of those women that is usually pretty cold. This shockingly warm and wind resistant sweater is so warm I was almost overheated when wearing it indoors. It is terrific for running errands and lounging, just too warm though for sitting in a warm kitchen or by the fire. I really love it and am happy with my purchase. It's classic and flattering style makes it really worth the investment.

NOT SOFT—ITCHY!

I bought this sweater in 3 colors because I liked how it looked online, and I wanted sweaters for weekend wear that looked nicer than a sweatshirt. I was hoping it would be a bit longer to wear with leggings, but it's not quite long enough for my comfort. But, mostly these sweaters are SUPER coarse and itchy. I would not categorize them as "soft" in ANY way. While I understand that wool is not as soft as other materials, I have plenty of wool blends that aren't as scratchy! Also, this picture makes it appear that there is a "kangaroo" pocket, but the sweaters I received do not have a pocket. Weird.
That said, I'll keep them because they work and are nicer than sweats, but I wouldn't really recommend.
I do not recommend this product.
