- Is the Steens Mountain warm enough on its own?
- For cool, dry weather, yes. It is a mid-weight fleece, so in wind, rain or near-freezing temperatures you will want a shell over it.
- How does it fit compared with other Columbia jackets?
- It runs roomy and boxy, consistent with Columbia's regular fit. If you want a closer fit or plan to wear it over only a T-shirt, consider sizing down.
- Can it be machine washed and dried?
- Yes. Wash cold and tumble dry low. Avoid high heat, which can mat the pile, and expect some pilling with frequent washing.
- Is it a good midlayer under a rain jacket?
- Yes. The thin pile and full zip make it a practical insulating layer under a hardshell or rain jacket without adding much bulk.
- Does it have inside pockets?
- No. It has two zippered hand pockets on the outside and no interior or chest pocket.
- Is it windproof or waterproof?
- Neither. The polyester fleece is breathable and warm but lets wind through and soaks up light rain, so pair it with a shell in wet or windy conditions.
