When To Wear It
Frost-Fighter is a puffer jacket designed for harsh winter days. Whether it snows or freezes where you live, this jacket does not mind. It comes with faux down insulation, which performs just like the real deal.

We have gone more in depth in previous articles about the difference between real and faux down, but just to summarize, it all comes down to wetness. If it rains and real down filling gets wet, its insulation abilities are rendered almost completely useless. Faux down, on the other hand, does not have this issue in the least.
This is also important since this is a water-resistant jacket, which means that there’s a risk of water getting through if you are caught in heavy rainfall. The reason this jacket is not completely waterproof is due to the breathability of the shell, which helps to prevent overheating.

Considering that it also comes without a hood, we would recommend you wear this jacket when it’s dry outside.
It comes with a high collar and elasticized cuffs, both of which help to further insulate the jacket and protect you from the elements, especially cold wind.
It is a regular-length jacket, which is quite practical if you need to move around a lot during the day, or just aren’t a fan of long winter jackets. There are two side pockets, which are lined to keep the hands warm and close up with zippers.

The main zipper is uncovered but highly resistant against wind and water. Style-wise, it is very casual and can be worn everyday, even for work as it provides plenty of room, comfort and comes without flashy logos.

As for the faux-down insulation, it is 100% Polyester. Now, the main feature is the quilting, which helps evenly distribute the filling to provide perfect insulation and no blind spots.

The size chart is quite accurate, too, so considering how much you prefer layering underneath, choose the size accordingly.
The only minus, to some of the reviewers, is the lack of a hood. But this can easily be solved by putting on your favorite beanie and you’re good to go.
Conclusion
As you saw from our review and online buyers, Columbia’s Frost-Fighter will deliver exactly what it promises: quality, performance and comfort.
