This coat is very warm, especially around the neck. The neck of the coat is high and keeps you warm. The interior coat is very soft, especially around the neck and chin area, as well as the wrists. However, it does run a little small in the arms. Long enough, but if you're wearing a long sleeve shirt it tends to pull up your arm when you put the coat on. Like I said, it is very warm, looks good, and other than the somewhat tight arms, fits very well. I like the detacheable hood. Would definitely recommend this product.

I received the jacket and it appeared to be perfect. I had it shipped to Arizona where I was for winter break. I flew back to Milwaukee and found out that near the right out side pocket the stitching was missed. I didn't send it back because I needed because I was freezing. That appeared to be the only issue. It is warm, comfortable, and blocks the wind. I would send it back if I didn't need it. However, I would send it back if you sent me a new one, otherwise, I need to get that missed stitching fixed by a tailor when it is not freezing out.
Conditions: Freezing

This coat is very warm. The tall gave the sleeves perfect length for my long arms. My only small complaint is that I ordered a Large because I am not an XL but the armpits seem tight for a L. Other than that this is a great coat.

I originally bought the coat for the functionality of a 3 in 1 use that I could use throughout the change of seasons to cut down on cost of buying 3 separate coats. As far as the quality, this is the second jacket I bought of yours where the tooth from the plastic zipper broke off and making the jacket useless to me. In addition, I wear a 3xlt but had to get a 4xlt because of the shoulder fit. Most jackets don't come in this size except this one and I had to get a size larger because of changes in manufacturing of this product. I don't know the person you are measuring this against but he is obviously not of the typical American man's stature. For the price you are charging for this coat I would expect it to be of much better quality than these plastic zippers that you use. The other thing is, you should have better instructions on the maintenance of the coat. I know that fabric softeners remove the shell on these coats, but can you recommend the types of solution to use and the spray to re-coat it with in case it needs that attention. I had to rely on a sales rep at an outdoor store for this information and it would be a benefit to your company to give the proper care instructions.
Thank you,

after reading other reviews i was kind of skeptical of the sizes, everyone complained of it being too small. i am 6'4", 250 lbs and usually wear an xlt coat, or a 46 long suit. so im kind of slender but by no means skinny. i ordered one size up cuz of the reviews and am very pleased in the size. it is snug in the shoulders but overall fits comfortable, very long as a tall should be, both in length of the coat and length of the sleeves. i dont understand how people were complaining it was way too small. if they weigh 300-400 pounds they would never be a 2x anyways.....

The shell fits good but, the fleece is small in the arms. I'm muscular build with pretty good sized guns. I thought I would have more room.

the color, the quality was excellent. but the item is not sized correctly. it was 3xt and would have fit a normal man not a man who is 6'3" and was a disappointment. we have sent it back in hopes that the 4xt will fit. would hope that your company could start making the items for big and tall people. the arms were so short and when it was opened you could tell it was not for a tall person. loved the color and cannot get in 4xt and loved the quality of the jacket but not the sizing. just too wrong.

I have a Columbia Omnitech jacket for over 20+ yrs. Thought it's time to replace it so ordered the Bugaboo Parka. Outer shell is great. But I was disappointed by the fleece liner. I took my measurements and ordered according to the site. The fleece is tight under the arms and the sleeves are extremely narrow and restrict movement. It's impossible to comfortably wear a long sleeve shirt under this jacket. I do like the outter shell and wear that over a more comfortable fleece. Glad I kept the Omnitech too.

I feel the inner fleece liner fits to snug in the arms. I'm an ex football player and have big arms. I feel the liner could be a hair larger to accommodate big men with "wedge shoulders" also. Thanks for listening.

Purchased this jacket for my husband and he normally wears 3XLT in outerwear and ordered this jacket in that size and it was way to small. So disappointed that we now have to start all over in our search for a jacket for him. Not even going to bother reordering in the next size up based on this coat's size. Too bad because he loved the look of this coat and loved the color.

Husband is "full figured" so a 4XLT was the size ordered. Fit was great with the exception of the arms. Arms were tight, making flexing a bit strained. May return the item.

I am 6'5" and usually wear a 2XT or occasionally a3XT. I ordered a 4XT. It was shorter than most regular XLs and the arms were way to small for big and tall. I noticed it was made in Vietnam. It was not sized for a Minnesotan. The 4XT would equate to a 2X size and regular length.
I do not recommend this product.

The jacket fits a bit small so I wish the company had 5X and 6X sizes as were provided in the card that came with the first jacket I ordered from Amazon and returned. But buying it from columbia.com got me tall and big sizes and the 4XT was the one that fit the best and had great value, too. The jacket is warm and water resistant but also very comfortable, not making me sweat in the 20 degree temps here in Oklahoma this winter. I wore it a few times in the rain at night and I kept cozy and dry during the few hundred yards I walked in the wind and rain. Great color, pockets and versatility. The company even offers to ship it in a recycled box! Going green starts with you. Thanks, columbia for a great value. Just list the bigger sizes too. I would have bot the 5XT.

This coat is a great coat and I would recommend it to anyone. The only complaint I have is that the right hand pocket was stitched together well. I have only worn it twice but I noticed it had a whole in the pocket the second time. Looks like the stitching either came loose or they missed it when trying to stitch the pocket together. Either way, Im just going to stitch the pocket together by hand and hope it holds. Rest of coat is great!

This is a great jacket. It works as advertised, keeping you warm and dry. My one warning would be about the size: I ordered a full size larger than I normally would have, and it fits perfectly. I had tried on Columbia jackets at a retail store, so I knew what to expect. Still, for men with larger arms and broader shoulders, you may find those areas fit sungly.
