I mailed them the jacket and 30 days later Columbia sent me a new titanium jacket and fleece so I have to say I am really liking Columbia right now.This post may contain affiliate links where we earn from qualifying purchases. I had a titanium jackets from 4 years ago and one of the zippers broke and some velcro was bad. I would however like to point out the fact that Columbia has a wonderful life time warranty which I am sure several of the better coat manufactures do not. On a positive note it does a good job of keeping you warm and dry, only my fleece sleeves have been getting wet but their is not much you can do for that besides having gloves that cover the sleeves.
Have to say I still think their powder skirt is lacking as it has for years now. velcro on 3 of the front pockets when they could have used snaps or better yet zippers.
I have to say that when they designed the jacket it appears they cut a few corners to save money, E.G. I have this year’s new titanium jacket and I don't mind it.
