## Overview

The Columbia Men's Heat Elite Jacket combines cutting-edge Omni-Heat thermal reflective insulation with Omni-Shield water repellency and a waterproof-breathable membrane to deliver lightweight, windproof warmth.

## Description

Whether you’re bombing through tight-knit glades or making a mad dash for the summit before the storm hits, warmth is good—bulk is not. Thanks to space-age heat retention technology, we give you a lightweight fleece that you can wear like a big bad parka. Omni-Heat thermal insulation and thermal reflective combine in a bonanza of lightweight warmth that’s totally breathable and moisture wicking. Reinforcement in the shoulders and chest combine with a waterproof-breathable membrane throughout to stop wet weather short. The Heat Elite is also windproof, cozy, and divinely comfortable. Underarm vents can be unzipped to disperse excess heat, and interior comfort cuffs run security against any arctic gusts.

Review: Great cool weather jacket - I've been wearing this jacket for a month or two, including when Canberra's temperatures have fallen to around minus 6 Celsius in the mornings (around 20 F). It is a great jacket. Very warm and snug. Apart from its primary duty to keep me warm walking to work, the jacket has several other great features. It feels great - the fabric is soft and tactile. It is incredibly light also, for the warmth it gives - it feels much smoother and "richer" than an equivalent fleece jacket. It also cuts the wind out to a considerable extent. Finally, I really like the pockets - the front and inside pockets are extremely handy for carrying car keys, wallets etc. I know that's what pockets do, but the positioning and design of these pockets is particularly neat. A real pleasure to own and to wear - maybe the best and most useful jacket I've ever owned. The fit is snug - you wouldn't want to wear too much bulk underneath, but it's so warm you won't need to. Also looks great. .
Review: Incredible lightweight jacket - I rarely purchase clothing online. I usually want to feel the fabric, examine the seams, etc. before buying it. I stumbled across the Heat Elite on desertcart and decided to buy it based on other people's reviews. Also, I couldn't find this jacket in any of the local stores. This jacket is now one of my favorites! It is very lightweight, warm, wind and water resistant. I routinely leave the house with only a T-shirt underneath when the temperature is in the low 30s. During a recent light rain, the water beaded up on the outside and I never felt damp inside. Another great feature are the underarm zipper vents. Those came in very handy while I was shoveling out my car several weeks ago. This jacket tends to fit more snug. I am 5'10" and the medium size was just right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than Arcteryx or North Face!
*by S***T on December 30, 2010*

I bought this jacket as a mid-layer for use under a shell and if necessary - as a standalone. Having used Arcteryx and North Face for years I was a little unsure about Columbia. This jacket is better than Arcteryx's mid-layers (Atom, Easy Rider, Gamma, and Venta) and much more useful than North Face's Denali. The Columbia includes pit-zips, a water resistant finish (which means it can double as a shell), and a very warm lining (20 degree temps are no problem). Although it's not as soft as Denali and appears to weigh a bit more it is water resistant and just as, if not more, warm. Sizing runs true, a trim fit. For the price, quality, and usefulness an excellent jacket!
