ProsGreat Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
LOVE this jacket. I got the orange for visibility, so I need to be somewhat careful not to stain it. If I had to do it over, I'd have gotten the black. Warm, LIGHT, and fits like a glove.
ProsDurable, Great Value, Comfortable, Performing as Expected
Have had this jacket for about 6 weeks and so far it has exceeded my expectations. Its very warm for the weight. It is so light and not bulky that it is a pleasure to wear on cool/cold days. Quality is very good, all seams sewn well. I have not had any down lost through the fabric.
Only issue so far is that the zipper pull for the chest pocket is so close to the main zipper pull that I often unzip the pocket when trying to unzip the jacket.
The coat was perfect ... light-weight, warm and it was a perfect fit. Unfortunately, there was a large dark brown stain (the coat was orange) - chest high on the front left. Now, I have to go through the hassle of the return / credit process. It is hard to believe that it was ever inspected.

The torso is too wide (loose) for me (5'7, 135 lb), although the picture on the website does not look so.
