Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: nylon?
Fill: 700 fill goose down
Price Paid: about $100

This vest is comparable to a human toaster. I've worn it on below freezing days with nothing but a T-shirt, my arms somehow even stayed warm due to my body overheating. Keep in mind that I happen to produce heat like a furnace, but this jacket would keep even the most reptilian of buyers warm. It even comes with its own stuff sack, which, when filled, is no bigger than a MSR whisperlite stove. Definitely worth every penny, I just wish I hadn't bought such a large one!
