Columbia Women's Voodoo Falls 590 Turbodown Hooded Jacket

When buying Columbia down coats, note the down 'fill' number - on this particular coat, it's 590, which I think is one of the thinnest ones. There's 650, 740, 860 fill; the higher fill, the puffier and potentially warmer the coat will be. This is a very thin coat. But I wanted the warmest low-profile slim fit coat I could find, one that squished up and packed really small, since I travel all the time, and also a coat that was a little dressier than a regular ski parka, and this coat definitely fits the bill. The TurboDown/OmniHeat coats have a reflective silver inner layer- sort of like a fancy soft emergency blanket- that helps keep body heat in. It works - the coat itself feels warm to the touch inside when I take it off. Plus I like the silver on the inside, it looks cool. But I wanted a coat that wasn't super shiny on the outside. If you look at some of the other models, the black color looks like a garbage bag. I emailed Columbia before I bought it, and they confirmed, this coat was more of a matte finish. However, some other styles have a rip-stop outer shell, if that's important to you. I absolutely wanted an attached hood, and this one is great. It does not have - or need - a drawcord on the hood. The hood stays on when zipped up, even in the crazy constant North Dakota wind. The zipper is plastic so it doesn't freeze on your chin when you zip up the hood. It does have adjustable drawcord on the waist hem. When I bought it, I wished the sleeves had a powder cuff like a ski jacket, but they just have a non-elastic binding, but its fine, I don't miss the powder cuff. Some people have mentioned the feathers coming out, but I've only had a couple poke out. No problem. It really is a nice quality coat. While it was fine for cold, this coat would not work well in rain or wet snow (I have a big super fancy ski parka for skiing - this coat worked OK on a bluebird ski day but that's not its purpose). I am 5'4" and 140 lbs, medium chest, and I bought a large size, thinking it would fit over a sweater or sweatshirt, and it does. Because I got a large, the arms are a little long but not a problem. They stay where they need to be with the cuff binding. I definitely need to wear a sweater or sweat shirt under it on the coldest days. I spent a lot of time in North Dakota this winter, and it was a pretty cold winter; there were literally weeks when it was way below zero (f) in the day, and with windchill, several times it hit -45f. This is not a coat to wear if you work or play outdoors at those extreme cold temps, but for short walks, travelling in airplane or car, grocery shopping, or shoveling snow (so much shoveling....) this coat exceeded my expectations. I am 100% satisfied with this coat.

I got the XL knowing it would be loose on me, which it is. But I have larger shoulders and like room to move. This gives me more options on what I can wear under it. The jacket has almost no weight to it, but keeps out wind and cold very well. The omni-heat thermal reflective lining is high tech - like a space blanket. I think it is a very smart innovation for cold weather gear. I have a 10 year old Columbia jacket which I will now officially retire!

This jacket is perfect! It came in quickly, fits perfectly and keeps me warm which is what I needed. This jacket isn’t thick like some other down jackets, but it layers well on really cold days.

I love this jacket. This is the 2nd one of this 560 turbo down voodoo falls style I have bought. The other without a hood. The cut of this jacket looks great on me. I tried out a few similar styles from northface and Patagonia but came back to this particular style from Columbia. It’s lightweight and keeps you warm. I hope they continue this style of coat!

Nice jacket, love the flat fit of the hood when not on. It does a pretty good job of breaking the wind and was comfortable to about 0 degrees. Fit the s true to size, which allows for layering. The cuffs are not tight on the skin, which I was worried about from the photos. I'm not convinced the Omni-shield does much to retain heat, I wish it was lined with soft fleece instead. Overall, happy with purchase!

Unfortunately it was too small for my adult daughter - we were able to order an XXL but had to get a different color :( It's a beautiful coat!

I like its amazing color, the jacket is light and moderate warm. Its S (my regular) size suits me perfect.

After reading reviews I didn’t expect this coat to be as nice as it is. It’s just the right weight for what I wanted, which was a medium warmth coat, the fit is very nice, and it was sturdier in construction than I expected from the reviews. It’s actually nicer than the Sddie Bauer jacket I’m replacing, and about half as expensive.

Fits great, very warm.

I love this jacket. It is beautiful and nice and light but is also very warm and breathable. It does fit a bit on the tight side in the armpits. The first one I got was very tight in the armpits so I returned it. The second was is more comfortable. Great return experience and am happy with the jacket.

Warm and comfortable
