- Is the Icelandite II actually waterproof?
- Yes. Columbia rates it with a waterproof shell, so rain and wet snow bead off rather than soak in. Seams and the zipper are the usual weak points to check.
- How warm is it compared with a standard down coat?
- TurboDown combines down with synthetic fill, so it holds warmth in damp conditions better than plain down. It suits typical winter cold, not extreme polar use.
- What sizes are available?
- Listings show XS, M, XXL and some small to large runs in black. Stock varies by seller, so check the size chart before ordering.
- Does it have a hood?
- Yes, it has a hood with a faux fur lining. The fur trim is usually removable if you prefer a plainer look.
- When is the price lowest?
- Down parkas typically drop after the holidays and at end of season. The current $310 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026 is the only new price listed.
- Where is the Columbia Icelandite II Waterproof TurboDown Parka cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $310.00, as of our latest check.
