[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally wanted a down coat with 800 down fill, however, I am a big fan of Columbia's Omni-Heat material, having previously owned one of their jackets. I figured 650 down fill with Omni-Heat would work fine in the cold, and I figured correctly. The Delta Ridge is a very warm jacket. It is light weight, and fits well. I love the jacket, however there are a couple of things that I think would make this the perfect jacket if updated. I wish it had a double zipper. It can be warm wearing this coat, and the ability to unzip it from the bottom to let heat out/cool air in would be great. I also wish it had a chest pocket, either on the outside or inside of the coat. I wear hearing aids that allow me to stream music from my phone. Hearing aids use a less powerful Bluetooth and if the phone is away from the hearing aids, or blocked, the sound streaming sometimes drops. Having a zippered chest pocket would help greatly with this issue, to keep the phone closer to the hearing aids, but despite these two issues I still think this is a great jacket and highly recommend it.
