I've been buying Columbia Interchange-style jackets and other winter garments for myself and family some 20+ years. So, I was downright disappointed with my latest purchase. The fit was fine for my 6'5" size, but the finish of the garment ... well, it was not up the the toughness standard Gertrude set a couple decades ago.

So, I'll start with the biggest quality disappointment ... the zipper. The all important zipper failed at the pin-box within a week. I'm not particularly confident with the replacement given the lightweight construction of the zipper (v.v. Gertrude used to supply heavy duty zippers). The outer shell is of a lighter fabric material when checked against past purchases, and the added branding cheapened by imprinting instead of sewn patches. For the price, the garment does not present as a premium quality product.

Were it not for the lapse of Northface and Patagonia to offer tall-size garments, I would be done with Columbia, today. Thankfully, there is Amazon's no quibble customer satisfaction process to deal with this vendor's quality lapses.

ADDENDUM - I picked up a Columbia Lhotse Mountain parka, and oh what a difference.  The amazing thing was the savings realized in purchasing a better built jacket.  The one thing that stood out was the use of a better zipper.
