It was Christmas time 2025, my wife and I were shopping at the mall. She wanted a pair of gloves and I was just tagging along like a good husband does. We walked by a Columbia outdoor store and went inside. She found the hats and gloves section and I was just standing there. Now understand, I need a jacket or coat, like I need a hole in my head. I have closets full of seasonal outdoor wear, but a jacket caught my eye. It was a dark blue, soft shell, hooded jacket, with a smooth fabric sheen. I asked if they had my size, and I went home with a new outfit. Skip to today, I liked the jacket so much that I purchased a non hoodie in black. Both of these jackets are perfect for temperatures where you need a little protection from thee elements. The Ascender Soft Shell jacket is ideal. Buy two, I did.😀

I got this as a warranty replacement for an older one whose zipper failed. Gotta luv a good warranty! Perfect for sitting around the campfire.

Love the jacket except for the fleece lining in the sleeves. Putting the jacket on over long sleeve shirts is difficult as the fleece sticks to the shirt like velcro. Change the lining in the sleeves and this jacket would be perfect.

This would be better if it fit properly. I ordered a small, and the jacket goes down to the middle of my thigh. Annoying. Also, whose idea was it to add a draw string to one side of the jacket? It makes the cinch so uneven. If you’re on the shorter side, I’d avoid this one.

This jacket is a great fit and utilitarian. Lighter than my down jacket and comfortable to wear.

Great Jacket, worth every penny. I recommend this product to everyone
This is the great coat love the color I just wish it was a tad bit thicker.

Solid, feels good, fits right, but the velcro on the wrists annoys and so does the collar that keeps flippin up
The jacket is a bit big which, my wife says, is a good thing. It is warm when layered underneath but not as effective as a windbreaker as I had hoped. It does seem to repel moisture effectively enough though I have not worn it in the rain yet. Having said all this, I would buy it again.

I needed to replace a similar jacket from a different manufacturer and decided to go with Columbia. This jacket has worked out very well and I am quite pleased with it.

I have had one of these Ascender Water-Resistant Softshell Jackets for past four years and have enjoyed mine more than I can express. The jacket is comfortable and warm and very durable. I am thinking about buying another one, but of another color. Can't pass up an opportunity to take a savings with the company offering a discount!

Top-notch jacket. Stylish, functional and well-crafted. Excellent color blue.
