Is the Wallowa jacket warm enough for skiing?

The 80/20 down fill and high collar suit cold days and light snow. It is water repellent rather than fully waterproof, so heavy wet snow or rain can soak through over time.

Is the hood detachable?

Yes. The hood detaches, so you can wear it for ski days and remove it for town use.

How does the Wallowa fit?

It is cut loose and straight, so it runs roomy and leaves space for a midlayer. Slim builds may want to size down.

The shell is water repellent, which sheds light snow and drizzle. It is not a fully waterproof membrane jacket, so it is not the pick for sustained rain.

Is $250 a good price?

Only one store lists it new at $250 as of November 7, 2026, so there is no lower competing price to compare against. Watch for seasonal markdowns on down jackets if you can wait.

What sizes are available?

Listings show S through XXL, including L, M, and XL. Check the specific store's size run before ordering.

Our take on the Columbia Wallowa Down Hooded Jacket

The Columbia Wallowa is a men's down hooded jacket built for cold-weather outdoor use, including skiing. It uses an 80/20 down-feather fill in a quilted polyester-nylon shell with a high collar, full zip, and a detachable hood. The shell is water repellent and the jacket is cut loose and straight for layering. The best new price is $250 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026, with only one store listing it new, so there is little price competition to shop around.
