4.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight and warm, December 3, 2007

By	AS (NY) - See all my reviews

This jacket feels very light and thin and leads you to believe that it is not good for winter. However, the inner fleece is VERY warm and there is additional insulation in the outer shell (you can hear it crackle). This combination makes the jacket great for outdoors (wind + rain/snow).

I have worn it in 18 deg F weather with 20 mph wind. No problem! My guess is that this jacket is for cold weather with temps ranging from mid to upper 30s to mid to low 20s. Anything colder will require a warmer/thicker jacket (e.g., Columbia Ice Wind Parka). Another thing: this product is not really a parka (i.e., not long enough to cover your upper thighs), just a regular short length jacket.

I paid $95 for this jacket from Amazon during the Black Friday sale. Not sure if I would pay upwards of $130 for this now. Try Campmor dot com if Amazon prices are higher.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good for temperatures below 25F, January 15, 2008

By	V. Kaura - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I returned it because it left me cold in weather 20 and below. Did an ok job of stopping the wind but not appropriate for winter. Would work for fall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, December 6, 2007

By	Andrew Bourgeois (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After 6 winters with my previous Columbia jacket I needed a new one and the Charger Parka has definitely ensured my future loyalty to this company. I have lived and worked in Chicago, right on Lake Michigan, for almost 7 years and this parka is even better than the last one. The removable fleece is great because it makes this so much more versatile and allows for 3 season use. The price was great compared to many other brands and I do not feel that I have sacrificed any quality to get a deal. This coat will keep me buying and reccomending Columbia for years to come.
