Women's Columbia Titanium Insulated Milano Jacket Review

The Women's Columbia Titanium Insulated Milano Jacket is a jacket with most of the features of any technical ski jacket, but there are a few aspects of the jacket that may turn off some potential buyers. First, the good: The jacket is extremely warm without being bulky or limiting freedom of movement. The elastic bands on the sleeves do a great job of increasing mobility, making this jacket even easier to move around in than some other, more expensive ones. The cuffs are adjustable, but don't feature thumb-holes, which for hard core ski and snowboard junkies may be a turn-off because it makes it much easier for cold air and snow to get in through the wrists.
