- Is the Snowy Summit jacket waterproof?
- No. It is insulated and water-resistant at best, so it handles light snow but not steady rain or wet snow. Pair it with a shell in wet conditions.
- How warm is it compared with a puffer?
- It is a mid-weight insulated jacket, warmer than a fleece or liner but less lofty than a heavy down puffer. It works for typical winter days with a sweater underneath.
- How does it fit?
- The cut is fairly straight and roomy, so most shoppers can take their usual size. Those who want a closer fit or plan to wear only a base layer may size down.
- Can it be worn as a midlayer under a shell?
- Yes, if you size it to leave room. The zip front and low bulk make it usable under a hardshell for skiing or wet winter days.
- What sizes are available?
- It comes in women's sizes S through XL. Check Columbia's size chart, since the fit runs roomy.
- Is it good for skiing?
- It works as a casual ski-town jacket or a midlayer, but it lacks a powder skirt and full waterproofing. Dedicated ski jackets are better for lift-served skiing.
