Columbia's warmest ski jacket, the men's Whirlibird parka is an all inclusive 3 in 1 system. The Whirlibird offers a weather-resistant, breathable Omni-Tech shell and MicroTemp insulation to retain heat, even when wet, and the zip-out fleece liner can be worn by itself.
Great Product and Value
Very light and warm
Features without the bulk
I was looking to replace a 10 year old jacket that was good for 30 degrees and below, but without all the bulk of the old one. This jacket is well made and very light. After several hours outside in 20 degree weather, I never felt cold, but I knew it was cold out when the inside of the jacket touched bare skin. This is probably due to the polyester material used on the liner. A fleece liner would eliminate that. All-in-all, a very nice jacket at a reasonable price that is loaded with features that were reserved for the rich and famous ten years ago.
Excellent Product/Great Value
I got the Green Jacket for Christmas and LOVE it! It is very warm! The shell & liner are very well constructed. Features are well implemented and the slim fit is not at all bulky. My favorite feature is the ability to wear individually or altogether. Combine that with the interchangeable waypoint fleece and its unstoppable.
Great Product Geat Services.
This jacket is awesome. Altrec customer support was excellent, believe spoke with Maria. Had to replace for smaller size, no questions asked.
Worked Great
First time out was five hours in fresh snow with the temp. in the teens. Three of us were walking standing and kneeling down taking pictures. Was not cold nor did I feel too bulky. We plan a 8 day trip to several Nat'l parks next.
