1. Columbia Emerald Lake Interchange Jacket

Here you have a very affordable interchange jacket which they build in 4 color combinations, two for the shell jacket and two for the inner layer. The example in the picture tells you that both of them look cool and fashionable, great for using separately or together.

The inner jacket zips in and this is an item with a high and pleasant collar and with their toasty Thermarator insulation. The shell jacket is with waterproof and breathable Omni-TECH exterior and Omni-HEAT thermal reflective lining. The materials you have here are nylon and polyester combination.

This is a rather new jacket on the market but it has already received a number of reports on Amazon and the average rating is exceptionally high, 4.7/5 as of the moment of writing this text. The jacket offers a comfort stretch and it comes with an attached and adjustable storm hood. Please follow the link for more.

2. Columbia Jacket Of All Trades Women’s Jacket

I would dare to say that this is the most unique interchange jacket currently on the market. You have three elements as shown in the pictures above and you can use them together or separately or in combinations. So you have 6 options in total.

You have a very chic Omni-Tech waterproof/breathable critically seam-sealed rain shell crafted from a rich, natural-feeling cotton-blend fabric that is combined with a water-resistant fleece liner and an anorak-style sleeveless vest.

The jacket is with zippered hand pockets, adjustable cuffs, a drop tail, and a back storage pocket. The center back length is 32.5 inches. The two external layers are 70% cotton with 30% nylon, and 82% nylon with 18% polyester. The liner is 100% Microtemp XF II polyester.

There is much more in the text so please follow the link.

4. Columbia Women’s Frigid Flight Long Interchange 3 in 1 Jacket 

This jacket is the only long model here, and the same structure is with its internal jacket. This makes it a typical casual piece of garment, not something you would use in your outdoor adventures. Again three-in-one design, so you have the coat and liner to wear separately for mild temperatures, or combined together for the ultimate in layered warmth. All Columbia’s technology is here, so you have a nylon shell with Omni-Tech waterproof-breathable fabric and with sealed seams.

Here too you have the three-in-one design, so you have the coat and liner to wear separately for mild temperatures, or combined together for the ultimate in layered warmth.

This piece can be worn on its own as an everyday jacket. It also has two external pockets, a full zipper front, and a high collar.

7. Marmot Featherless Component Jacket For Women

Here you have an external rain shell jacket with a 2-layer Marmot’s MemBrain waterproof and breathable fabric and 100% seam taped.

The removable interior liner jacket is itself water-resistant and you have their innovative Thinsulate Eco Featherless synthetic insulation. It is very compressible and it provides a warmth even in wet conditions. It looks and feels like down but it is synthetic. This is a loose-fill that mimics down and it traps the body heat.

So as you can imagine, each of the two jackets can be used on its own or combined with each other, for maximum adaptability to varying climates. The inner jacket zips into the shell and you also have snaps on the cuffs to attach it to the shell.

This is a versatile three-in-one system with what they call the Angel-Wing Movement design. This implies more fabric on the back so that you can move hands freely and you will not be constricted or inhibited if you have to make some scramble. It is ideal for backpackers, hikers, and climbers, but also for casual use.

The shell jacket is with two zippered hand pockets and an internal zippered pocket. The hem is with an elastic drawcord and the cuffs are with Velcro tabs.

The inner insulated jacket is also with three pockets, two zippered external pockets, and one internal zippered pocket. Here too you have its separate drawcord to prevent cold drafts. The cuffs are with elastic. So it is fully functional on its own.

9. The North Face Women’s ThermoBall Triclimate Jacket

As you see, they use the word Triclimate for this type, but this is the same as the interchange or 3-in-1 jacket. You realize this from the picture above which shows the shell jacket and the inner jacket when it is unzipped from the shell. Before I continue, you might want to know that this jacket is available it some 20 or so different colors.

The outer jacket is a waterproof and breathable 2.5L hard shell, seam-sealed, and with the stretch DryVent membrane, a blend of polyester and elastane, with a durable water-repellent finish.

The DryVent is a system that has been lab- and field-tested to ensure the best possible durability and function. It is used in several of their jackets. Its waterproof rating is 25 PSI minimum after 20 launderings, and the breathability is 750 – 800 g/m²/24 hours average.

The inner layer is a jacket with a 30D nylon shell and warm, compressible PrimaLoft ThermoBall synthetic insulation. It is similar to down while offering better all-weather performance. It consists of small, round PrimaLoft synthetic-fiber clusters that trap the heat within small air pockets to retain warmth. They claim they have independent testing by Kansas State University showing that it is equivalent to 600-fill goose down. This also means it is lightweight and compressible.

You have an integrated adjustable hood and the shell is with pit zip vents. This is a standard fit, the average weight is 730 g (25.75 oz), the center back length for the outer shell is 27 inches and 24.75 for the inner.
