ColumbiaMens Penns Creek Ii Parka

I normally wear medium but small fits me a lot better. This coat seems to be good for temperatures between 20 - 40 degrees Fahrenheit(anything lower you might want to layer up) and it's great in both rain and snow due to its water-resistant material. This coat is also surprisingly lightweight and looks aesthetically pleasing

We live in Minnesota and are occasionally prone to negative temps in the winter. Got it to replace husband's old Columbia shell jacket which was getting a bit old. We decided on a parka this time to keep him extra warm and he really loves it. Very comfy and warm.

5 Stars. I would not consider this jacket "light weight" - it is very substantial and when it arrived my husband even commented on how nice and heavy it was. Just right for cold, snowy days. We as a family are totally sold on the lining of these Columbia jackets and coats....Omni Heat. I have never had a more comfortable, warm jacket. Wish I had had it growing up in MN! We don't get much snow here in DE, but this will be his "go to" jacket for snow shoveling. All in all a great winter jacket.

Very nice jackets! Perfect for my tall teenager son.

For 46.00 it's a nice parka and a great buy! Not sure how warm it is now that we're past winter but it seems better insulated than I thought and it has the Omniheat feature which should add additional warmth without bulk. I've been disappointed with a lot Columbia's stuff lately with awkward sizing and the materials being cheaply made. But this coat was surprisingly really nice.Thankfully it is slimmer than I anticipated. It does have a slight belly bump but it isn't so bad actually. The profile is decently slim with enough room to layer...and to be honest layering will be needed anyway if it dips below 20F. I live in NYC and winters haven't been as cold as they used to be, so this should do fine here.But overall a very nice Parka. Plenty of pockets, nice zipper, decent size hood with nice fur trim. I mean seriously folks for 46.00 it's a steal!
