This is labeled a 3-in-1 jacket (technically, a 2-in-1) that provides the ultimate use-case for versatility. You get a fully seam-sealed, waterproof outer shell that’s paired with a removable insulated liner (two jackets that can be worn separately or together as one, hence 3-in-1). The shell blocks out rain and snow with its Omni-Tech fabric, while its inner liner uses synthetic insulation and a reflective lining for ultimate warmth, minus bulk. It also has underarm vents to shed heat during activities, a drawcord hem, sleeve cuffs, and an adjustable hood. It’s also 32 inches long, negating the possibility of drafts around the lower back.
Looking at similar models from REI’s own Co-op label, like this Powderbound Ski Jacket (goes for $159 on sale) or even Burton’s Reserve Insulated Ski Jacket ($239 full price), you’ll see similar waterproof ratings and synthetic insulation. Columbia’s isn't a pro-level shell or ultra-luxe in insulation, but you’re getting premium versatility for skiing, commuting, snowstorms, and everyday warmth.
The interchange system is the real winner here, though. It lets you wear both jackets together on frigid days for ultimate winter protection. On milder days or once the temps break, you can wear the liner by itself and be good on balmy days.

What Wearers Are Saying
As this jacket pushes near 200 5-star ratings, it’s easy to see, while glancing over them, how truly versatile this one is. One reviewer said that this “all-weather” jacket is versatile for travel, keeping them warm and holding up well on their recent trip to Europe. “Extremely reliable, comfortable, and functional, making it an excellent choice for travel,” they said.
Another said it “offers solid warmth,” making it “practical” for hitting the slopes and perfect for casual or even resort skiing.
A sub-$200 ski jacket with these types of specs is generally going to set you back well over $400, so this deal on Columbia’s Snow Glide II is a big deal. Don’t let this one get away—grab your fave color, and get ready for the inbound snowstorms.
