Columbia Sportswear Boy's Ballistic Sweater

I just got this in the mail and my first impression is pretty good. MUCH cheaper than the Northface, which is better but not worth the extra price. The flame color is not red, it's more of a dark orange which was kind of disappointing because I wanted red. If I would have known it was orange I would have ordered blue. The small piece of colored fleece on the collar looks kind of out of place. Shipping was extremely fast.

My son kept pulling the snap in fleece jacket out of his Columbia Ski Jacket. He ended up losing the liner on his last jacket by doing this, so I decided to buy him a separate one. When we were skiing this weekend, my husband asked if we had stock in Columbia, as this is what the whole family was sporting on the slopes! Great quality from a great company. Altrec provided competitive pricing, free and fast shipping. A great store!

I really love these sweaters! The color of them are great!

In a time in the retail industry where customer service is either in a dfferent country by phone only or just plain not available, I was extremely pleased with altrec. Timely emails notifying you of the status of your order and the offerings of other products coupled with a little personal touch through staff photos gives you the closet feeling of actually being in a store. I will be back for certain and will share this with friends I know care about service and a feeling of knowing who you are dealing with. Diane Sullivan, Andover, MA.

great quality, just as good as the north face, you will be highly pleased with this. sizes are comparable to the north face as well.
