Powder Pillow Long Insulated Jacket - Women's

Dogs and kids might be the sloppiest mammals you know, but you can't help but love them. In the Columbia Women's Powder Pillow Long Insulated Jacket, mammal-made stains take longer to ruin your unruffled appearance, even when it's the fabric-fatal combination of frigid winds, a little sleet, and concentrated grape juice. Synthetic insulation keeps you warm as Fido dumps a full liter of slobber on your jacket, and a longer cut protects more of your body from cold and kid-flung snot. Winter ain't always pretty, but in this long jacket, you'll withstand the weather and everything else that comes your way.
Narrow baffles turn this puffy jacket into a flattering, feminine piece of outerwear, so no one asks if you're wearing a sleeping bag to work. The slim chambers also hold the insulation in place so wearing your baby in a sling won't cause the insulation to shift. Synthetic down insulation fills out the modern classic fit of this long jacket for benefits of down without the worries of getting wet. Down dominates the insulation world, except when wet. Engineers at Columbia created a fake down to provide a high warmth to weight ratio as well as heat-retention even when wet. Sometimes substantive shelter from the weather isn't readily available, and sometimes your little ankle-biter demonstrates shot-put potential with her sippy cup. Regardless of how you get wet, at least you'll be relatively warm until you get inside and change.
The hood comes off when spring pokes its nose out from under the snow, and an internal zipped pocket protects your phone or keys. Two zipped hand pockets hold toys, lipstick, or treats when you want to reward a good kid or dog.
