Our take on the Columbia Sportswear Men's Powder Lite II Jacket

The Powder Lite II is Columbia's synthetic-insulated puffer for cold, damp weather. It uses polyester fill that keeps warming when wet, a water-repellent shell, a high collar and a reflective lining that bounces body heat back. It is lighter and less bulky than a down jacket of similar warmth, but down packs smaller and lasts longer. Owners like it as a versatile cold-weather layer for hiking and everyday wear; some find the fit boxy and the shell thin.

Owners rate the Powder Lite II as a solid value insulator for cool-to-cold days. Most praise the warmth-to-weight ratio and the reflective lining; complaints center on the loose fit and thin outer fabric.

What people mention
  • WarmthPraisedOwners say it holds heat well for a thin synthetic jacket in cool and cold conditions.
  • FitCriticisedMany find the cut roomy and boxy, so they size down or layer underneath.
  • WeightPraisedReviewers like how light it feels and how little space it takes in a pack.
  • Shell fabricCriticisedThe outer material is described as thin and prone to snagging on branches and velcro.
  • Water resistanceMixedLight rain and snow bead off, but the shell wets through in steady rain.

Questions and answers

Is the Powder Lite II warm enough for winter?
It handles cool to cold days well, especially with a midlayer. For freezing or windy conditions, most people want a heavier shell or an extra fleece underneath.
How does it compare with a down jacket?
The synthetic fill keeps insulating when wet and costs less, but down is warmer for its weight and packs smaller. The Powder Lite II suits damp, active use better than dry extreme cold.
Does it run true to size?
It runs roomy. Many owners size down for a closer fit, and it layers easily over a sweater at the stated size.
Is it waterproof?
No. The shell is water-repellent and sheds light rain and snow, but it is not a waterproof rain jacket.
What pockets does it have?
Zippered hand pockets plus an internal pocket for a phone or small items.
Can it be worn for hiking?
Yes. It is light, breathable enough for active use and has a high collar, though the thin shell needs care around brush.
Where is the Columbia Sportswear Men's Powder Lite II Jacket cheapest?
At Columbia, for $115.50, as of our latest check.
