- Is the Mountain Croo III warm enough for below-freezing winters?
- Yes for typical city cold. The down fill and waterproof shell handle freezing days well, but it is not rated for extreme alpine conditions.
- How does it compare with the Patagonia Down With It parka?
- The Columbia adds a 10,000 mm waterproof shell, while the Patagonia focuses on a sleeker fit and recycled down. Choose Columbia for wet weather, Patagonia for a trimmer silhouette.
- Does it run true to size?
- It runs roomy because of the straight fit. Many owners size down for a closer fit, especially if they layer lightly.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Yes, but use a down-specific detergent and tumble dry low with dryer balls. Regular detergent strips the down's loft.
- What is included with the jacket?
- Just the parka itself. It has a fixed hood, zipper and drawstring closure, and hand pockets.
- Where is the Columbia Women's Parka Mountain Croo III cheapest?
- At Columbia, for $310.00, as of our latest check.
