Super light weight! I have gotten tons of comments/compliments when wearing it. I seem to stay warm in temps between 20-30° with only a t-shirt under. Jungle color is very nice. Fit is definitely on the trim side. I am 5'8", 155 lbs. and went with a medium. Arm length is good, overall length is just right. My only issue is that the arm holes feel like they are too high causing some tightness in the armpit/back area.

Perfect as a cozy inside layer with a ski shell. Also great to wear on its own as hip alternative to a sweater or hoodie. The blue color is vibrant and fun!

This is a nice looking jacket, it's very comfortable, and Sunny Sports had the very best price, but I was a bit disappointed with the quality. I expected it to be a bit sturdier.

Also, it's 800 fill, but it's really not all that warm. I felt chilly in San Francisco, which isn't Duluth or Boston. What good would this jacket be there?

On the very first day I wore it, I noticed a small pinhole in the outer fabric through which a feather or two were emerging. I can see how a simple snag could tear the shell fabric easily.

Finally, I think it could have been filled with about 20% more down. The fill seems a bit thin; I realize there need to be air pockets, but I felt it was too much--there were discernible gaps in the fill.

When one pays this much for a garment, one expects it to feel better than the cheap versions. I just don't think this one does. And for the ladies who want to buy a small: it's boxier than the women's medium, but I tried on both and they fit about equally.

I like this jacket, but it feels fragile to me. I wouldn't wear it to do anything vigorous. I feel like I was expecting a real outdoor garment and got a fancy jacket to go shopping in instead.
