Summary
Haven't tried it outside yet, so take this for what it's worth.
Pros
- Warm
Cons
- Poor elastic in wrist cuffs
- Not too impressed by waist drawstring
This is my first down jacket and I'm impressed and how light it is. Much lighter jackets have been described as feeling like just a bunch of warm air surrounding your body, but I'd describe this one that way too.
Compact enough to fit under my shell but still room inside for layers, exactly what I was hoping for. Wrist cuffs elastic, which I like, but not much life to the elastic, which I don't.
$109.95 - $220.00
