Summit days are hard enough without freezing, so pack the Millet Expert Down Jacket to keep your core toasty for the last couple thousand feet. Millet updated this jacket from previous models by going with 700-fill down, which keeps the weight under two pounds without sacrificing warmth. Whether you use this jacket for belaying a pitch of ice or plodding up an alpine ridge, you'll be happy you brought it along.

Bottom Line: Don't skimp on warmth,

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

This jacket is ultra warm. The size I ordered was a XL. I could have fit into a large but wanted room for layering. For reference I am 6'4" 210lbs.

The color on BC is true to the real life color.

Great jacket and extra warm. So far i have run into no problems.

I'm 6ft 5in, 200 lbs and the XL fits great. Good feel, very light weight and great wind resistance. Wore it to Sapporo Snow Festival (Japan) last weekend and it kept me dry and warm. I would recommend the jacket. I 'll take it to Nepal in March and really put it to the test then.

Is the bottom "butt area" part of this coat the same

Is the bottom "butt area" part of this coat the same width approximately as the chest? In other words is the bottom when zipped on the large the same size across as a large chest size? Or does it taper down to be very narrow at the bottom? It does not appear from the photos to do this but since I'm female and women's never have a long enough sleeve or torso, I need to know. Thanks!

It tapers down and the waist fits slimmer than the shoulders. That was my issue with the tailoring. At 5'8" 155lbs the small fit me best but the waist was super slim when I zipped it up. When I put on a medium the waist fit better, but shoulders were super big on me like I had shoulder pads. I found the jacket too puff ball like to be used comfortably unless the wearer was just standing in the cold for a long time. Movement was uncomfortable because of the fit.

Does this jacket have the funny sizing problems that older Millet

Does this jacket have the funny sizing problems that older Millet jackets have had? (Euro sizing is sometimes strange).
I normally tend to ware a medium however should I size up for additional layers?

Yes. For some reason I fit a size small in this and I'm 5'8" 155 lbs and it still looks big and puffy on me. The medium was way too big to be comfortable. Also the tailoring was awkward as the shoulders seem to be extra broad and the armpits and waist are tapered and slim around the torso. So I looked like a big orange triangle. And the color is more of a Hunter's Safey Orange than the yellow gold that is shown on BC pictures.
