Expert Reviews

• 850-fill down provides high loft and strong heat retention.
• Long sleeves won’t ride up above the wrists when moving the arms.
• Top-of-the-line down and fabric helps the jacket remain light while enhancing warmth, to allow it to act as a stand-alone layer in cool temperatures.
• Durability provided by the 20x10D shell is surprisingly good.
• DWR coating aids in protecting against light precipitation (although not as good as competition).
• Full-front zipper features a chin guard for comfort.

User Reviews

• Synthetic insulation that is used around the shoulders loses loft.
• The fabric is not especially durable.
• Jacket loses feathers over time.
• Jacket loses some volume over the years, making it less ‘poofy’ and warm.
• Obviously, not waterproof.
• Jacket could be improved by adding a synthetic part under the arms to reduce the loss of down in high-sweat areas.

Expert Reviews

• No hydrophobic down to increase water-resistance.
• DWR is only average at repelling water from the outside of the jacket.
• Seams can allow wind to enter.
• Expensive.
