Omni Heat
This was a great purchase for me. I have had other soft-shell jackets that felt much more bulky, but did not feel as warm. I went on a fishing trip last weekend, and even with 50 degree temps, 15 mph winds and moderate rain, I was warm and dry with only a light shirt under the jacket. I am not on the hunt for pants to go with my jacket and previously purchased Omni Heat boots for this winters ice fishing season.

Men's Heatstream Softshell Jacket
I have been looking for a Columbia OmniHeat jacket to try. I saw this one and read the reviews. Most reviews said it was short in length. There were only Tall Jackets in stock so I ordered one to try. I am 5'9" and 165lbs. The Large / Tall fit perfect, so they do run a little small. I normally buy a large regular in Columbia jackets. When compared to my other Columbia jackets (LG/ REG) it is the same length. The jacket is light weight but very warm, water and wind resistant. I will use as a base layer in really cold weather. Overall it is exactly what I have come to expect from Columbia, good quality, function and fit.

Too short
Not sure if this is Columbia's error or Altrec's error, however I am a skinny 6'4" tall person. So I expected the 'Tall' heatstream to be perfect for me. So I ordered the large because I am not too broad. Unfortunately this Large Tall jacket barely reached my waist, way to short to put even a t-shirt underneath without it sticking out. Seemed like a nice jacket just not nearly tall enough.

Not tall enough!
Even though the jacked is billed as tall, the arms and body were too short for me. I am 6'4", 160 lb. The lining is a silver color and rather bold, especially contrasting the earthy outer color. I am returning the jacket.
