Why We Like The Columbia Ascender II Hooded Softshell Jacket
For a touch of coverage against the elements without stressing our microclimate on steep climbs, we zip into the Ascender II Hooded Softshell Jacket. The lightweight construction allows air permeability to keep us from overheating, while Columbia's Omni-Shield technology dulls the force of crisp winds and stops drizzles from soaking through.

Perfect definitely would buy again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit, love the adjustable cuffs, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the hood. So glad I bought the soft shell with the hood. Came in handy when I got caught in the rain. Just the right amount of warmth.

Good but fitment was off for tall people
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited about this jacket—it’s well-made, looks great, and has solid materials. However, the sizing is definitely not ideal for taller individuals. I’m 6'2, and while the fit is fine in the chest and shoulders, the sleeves and torso run short. It feels like it was designed for a more average height rather than someone with a longer frame. I tried a XL tall but that sizing range was made for a wider person. I settled with a regular XL. If you’re on the taller side, I’d recommend trying on in store to see what sizes fit or looking for a tall-specific option. Otherwise, if you have a more standard build, this is a fantastic jacket in terms of style and quality. Pros: ✔ High-quality materials ✔ Stylish and versatile ✔ Warm and comfortable Cons: ✖ Runs short in the sleeves and torso for taller individuals ✖ Limited "tall" sizing options

Not So Good Material
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I barely bought this jacket on December 2024 and have only used this jacket for about one week and one wash and it already has started piling.

Excellent
This jacket is light but still very warm. Water does bead right off.

Great Jacket
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the jacket it is perfect for cool weather. The fit is great and I especially love the velcro around the wrists for sealing the jacket around gloves.

Useless hood
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Could have been a reasonable mid-level softshell jacket. Unfortunately the lack of any way to tighten the hood makes it useless in anything more than a very light breeze, look elsewhere unless you need a jacket without a hood.
