User Review: Patagonia Men's Down Sweater

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $120

Summary

This sweater/jacket is a favorite of mine. Super light weight and compressability make it perfect for camping and backpacking.

Pros

  • light weight
  • warm
  • good fit

Cons

  • extra care needed when cleaning, washing it

This is my #1 garment for early spring and fall camping and backpacking trips. Spent the first week of May in Yellowstone with nighttime temps in mid-20s and daytime high of 32-50 and this was almost all I needed. I did use a hardshell over it for the first hour or so in the morning or if I was on a route with a lot of wind.

It also makes a great pillow once you're in your tent and sleeping bag. I seen this on sale in a number of places lately and all I can say is, "grab one!"
