Whistler's Sudan Couloir, Corbet's at Jackson Hole, Mt. Baker's Hemispheres; so much vertical to check off your list and not nearly enough days off. The trip of a lifetime doesn't always include bluebird skies and balmy temps, though, so come prepared in one of our favorite Omni-Tech jackets. The Columbia Sportswear Titanium Blade Run ll Parka for Men is an ingenious combination of style, premium technical features, and crucial affordability. Columbia kept costs at a minimum with critical seam sealing; only reinforcing the seams on the chest, shoulders and arms where it truly counts; and by mimicking the luxe look and feel of softshell on the liner with a more economical smooth-face brushed fleece. However, Omni-Tech means this winter workhorse doesn't skimp on waterproof breathability. Like all of Columbia's Interchange jackets featuring removable, stand-alone liners, the Blade Run II delivers three coats for the price of one. Active fit.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Columbia Titanium Blade Run ll Parka for Men is available through Altrec.com.

Comfortable, Stylish and very warm
Two months I have been shopping around for a Columbia' Parka, because I really wanted to save money. Price and quality is everything. On December 15, 2009 I first called Altrec.com to ask a lot of questions...I spoke with Christina Parsley..she was very helpful and very kind to help with sizing and with the Columbia Park style and fit. I December 16, 2009 after price checking at other websites, I purchased the " Columbia Blade Runner II Parka.. Titanium Series XL Men. This columbia coat arrived from FEDEX on Saturday December 19, 2009 at 11:30 eastern time. I put the Columbia on and was a perfect fit in every way, shap and form to my body shape. I'm a sold customer on Columbia Gear, Clothes above all the Blade Runner II Parka Titanium Series. Our winters in Northeast Ohio get very cold. The average winter temperature is 18 degree's. The Parka 3n1 Titanuim Technology works... because I wore a t-shirt only under the coat. The customer service and answers to my questions from Altrec were correct and very true I'm sold on this Columbia Blade Runner II Titanium Series XL Men. Columbia has outstanding products and Altrec.com beats everyone internet prices, along with Christina's Parsley at Altrec true and honest answers about the Columbia Product Line. Five Stars for Columbia and Altrec.com. *****

Love the lining and the way it stays put!
Lining remains in the coat, doesn't come out when you take off the coat, sleek looking, warm.

Great Jacket!
I have not had this jacket very long but so far I am extremely happy with it. It is extremely comfortable and great in all sorts of weather. The liner adds just enough extra warmth and the shell keeps out the elements.

Great looking, comfortable, and warm jacket
I got this jacket for my boyfriend for his birthday... after doing a lot of comparison shopping, I decided on this one. The price at Altrec was significantly discounted from the price on Columbia's own website, and I decided to splurge for one of the nicer jackets. I am so glad I did! My boyfriend LOVES this jacket. He's basically worn it every day since I got it for him. It looks great, and he says it's incredibly comfortable and warm. He has worn the shell only one day when it was raining but not very cold, and has worn both parts together. The only complaint that I have is that there is a piece of fabric inside the cuff of the shell, and it snaps onto the cuff of the sleeve of the liner, in order to keep the sleeves down when the liner is zipped into the shell... when we received the jacket, this piece of fabric was actually broken, so one of the liner sleeves doesn't snap into the shell sleeve. As a result, sometimes the sleeve of the liner rides up a bit. This is not a huge problem, however, because it is easily fixable... but I was definitely irritated that I spent almost $200 on a jacket and it came to me in less than perfect condition. Other than that, a great jacket at a good price!
