Our take on the Columbia Sportswear Men's Tall Heights III Hooded Softshell Jacket

The Tall Heights III is Columbia's men's hooded softshell: a polyester shell with a water-repellent finish, a wind-blocking build and a slim cut. It sits in the middle of Columbia's softshell range, lighter and stretchier than a fleece-lined shell but less weatherproof than a hardshell rain jacket. It suits hikers and commuters who want a packable layer for cool, breezy, drizzly days. Owners like the stretch and the hood; the slim fit runs close, so larger frames often size up.

Best forHikers wanting a light wind-and-drizzle layerCommuters and dog walkers in cool, breezy weatherLayering under a warmer coat in winterTall and big-and-tall shoppers, down to 4XL
Pros

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a versatile three-season shell: light, stretchy and good at cutting wind on hikes and commutes. The recurring complaints are the slim fit and the fact that it sheds light rain but soaks through in a downpour.

What people mention
  • FitMixedReviewers call the cut slim and close, and many recommend sizing up.
  • Weather protectionMixedIt blocks wind and shrugs off drizzle, but owners say steady rain gets through.
  • StretchPraisedThe stretchy fabric is repeatedly called comfortable and unrestricted on the move.
  • HoodPraisedThe adjustable hood stays put and is easy to cinch down.
  • SleevesCriticisedSome owners find the sleeves too long for their arm length.

Questions and answers

Is this jacket waterproof?
No. It is a softshell with a water-repellent finish, so it handles drizzle and light rain but not sustained downpours. Carry a hardshell for wet days.
How does the fit run?
Slim. It sits close to the body, so if you plan to layer a fleece underneath, size up. The size range runs from S to 4XL.
Is it warm enough for winter?
On its own, no. It has no insulation and works as a wind-and-drizzle shell over a base layer or fleece in cold weather.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash at 30 degrees and skip fabric softener, which dulls the water-repellent finish. Tumble low or hang dry to keep the coating working.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, zippered hand pockets. There are also reflective details and an adjustable drawstring hem.
How does it compare with a hardshell rain jacket?
It is lighter, stretchier and quieter, and breathes better on the move, but it gives up full waterproofing. Choose it for wind and drizzle, a hardshell for real rain.
