What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This is the jacket I've been grabbing every time I walk out the door since the temperature dropped. The internal quilting keeps warmth consistent across the chest and shoulders, with no cold spots. The snap placket over the zipper blocks drafts better than most jackets at this price, and the fit is clean enough that it doesn't read as outdoor gear when I'm out at night."Some jackets are built for the mountain and merely tolerated in the city. The Columbia Street Heights Insulated Jacket works the other direction - it looks at home on a crowded block and performs well when the weather turns mean. Columbia built it around recycled synthetic insulation quilted internally so the fill stays evenly distributed without cold spots developing over a season of daily use. The nylon-elastane shell has enough give to move naturally through a full day and sheds light moisture when the forecast turns uncertain. The attached, adjustable hood cinches down when the wind picks up, and the centerfront placket covers the snap closure to block drafts at the zipper line. Elastic cuffs and a drawcord hem seal the jacket at every opening, and the interior pocket keeps a phone or cards close without adding visible bulk to the front. A jacket that earns its place in the daily rotation from the first cold week of fall straight through the last hard freeze of the season.
