Is the Steens Mountain hoodie worth $49?

Only if you need it now. It is a solid basic fleece, but $49 at Columbia Sportswear as of November 4, 2026 is near full price, and this model regularly sells for less on sale.

It is a light-warmth layer. The 250 gsm fleece handles cool mornings and fall days, but you will want a shell or a heavier jacket in cold or wet weather.

How does the fit run?

It is a regular fit with a waist-length cut and 28-inch center back length. Many owners find it roomy, so consider sizing down if you want a closer fit.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, two zippered hand pockets. There is no chest or interior pocket.

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Machine wash it, and expect some pilling on the fleece over time with regular washing and wear.

This fleece is most often discounted during seasonal sales and end-of-season clearances. At $49 as of November 4, 2026 it is at the high end of its range, so waiting for a markdown usually pays off.

Our take on the Columbia Steens Mountain Full Zip Hoodie

The Steens Mountain is Columbia's basic full-zip fleece hoodie: 250 gsm polyester MTR filament fleece, regular fit, waist length, with zippered hand pockets, elastic cuffs and a drawcord hem. It is a light-warmth layer meant for cool mornings, camp, and everyday wear rather than cold weather on its own. At $49.00 at Columbia Sportswear as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the top of its usual selling range; this fleece commonly drops well below that on sale, so it is not a standout buy at full price.
