In the physical store, I tried on several Columbia jackets and softshells, about six different models. I was completely sure that size L would be perfect, but this specific model actually corresponds more to size XL (despite what the label says). Supposedly it's a Regular cut, but for me it fits rather loosely. The chest pocket seems too big and too deep – when you put a wallet or ticket in it, it almost falls into the lower pocket. I rate the workmanship quality very highly; the softshell material noticeably differs from North Face: it’s softer, exceptionally comfortable to the touch. The hood is also a plus – it’s lightly insulated, fits well, although you won’t fit a helmet under it. Will I consider size M? Probably not – the oversized chest pocket is a dealbreaker for me.

Columbia Gate Racer II Softshell Jacket - Greenscape
A jacket designed for wind resistance and breathability, crafted from flexible softshell material in Greenscape. Its outer layer has been treated to be waterproof, offering reliable protection from rain.
Durable polyester, fleece lining, hydrophobic coating
The jacket is crafted from resilient, flexible polyester material that offers effective protection against light rain due to a hydrophobic coating. In addition, it is treated with an Omni-Shield coating, which safeguards the material from dirt and moisture penetration. Despite these protections, the material remains breathable, which helps prevent excessive sweating during physical activity. Inside, the jacket is lined with soft fleece, offering cold protection and improving thermal comfort.

The model includes three functional pockets designed for securely transporting essential gear.
- Two pockets are located at hip level and feature zipper closures.
- One pocket is positioned on the chest, also equipped with a zipper closure.
Adjustable cuffs and hem of the jacket
Adjustable Velcro cuffs shield against cold air and wind gusts. A drawstring with a stopper at the jacket's bottom edge ensures a snug fit for the wearer.
