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.
