Nice Jacket, Runs Large

By:
February 16, 2009

Nice Jacket, sizing is off. I am 5'5" and 130 lbs - normally between a small - medium in clothing, and definitely a medium in all my jackets. The medium in this jacket was giant on me (everywhere), so I exchanged for a small. The small however is a little too small, sleeves a tad too short and length could be better. I still wear it, although I wish sizing was better.

Jacket run as described, see MH size description

By:
March 30, 2009

Bought it for my girl. Sizing is NOT off. She's 5 9 and 130lb and the fit is as it should be. She's a small. Sleeves are perfect and torso is as it should be. Read the the sizing charts on MH's website; they are accurate. The jacket is designed to fit at the waist. This jacket is not designed to cover your butt, get different MH jacket, like a down PARKA. Read product description b/c is tell you what the jacket is designed/intended for...

Overall, the look is great, puffiness is moderate, weight is fairly low, and 650 down is plenty warm around the low 30s.

bummer, wanted to like it but just couldn't

By:
April 13, 2009

Arms: short. Brown collar clashed with the berry color. The stitching design was so so close to being really funky but instead looked like a great quilt artist started but then got hit by a bus half-way through sewing. Relevant? Not sure. I returned it, but it definitely seemed warm. Good luck

Great jacket, great customer service.

By:
April 13, 2009

As always, thrilled with Backcountry's customer service.

I'm 5'8" and 125lbs. I usually wear and XS-S and got the jacket in XS. It fits perfectly. The sleeves could be an inch longer, but I think its probably just because the puffiness of the jacket makes them ride up a bit at the shoulders. If I tighten the velcro around my wrists, they fit just fine.

The fleece lining makes the jacket even more cozy-warm. Perfect alone for a chilly day, or with layers underneath when the temperature drops below freezing.

It isn't the most form-fitting jacket, but for a down, its one of the least-michelin-man ones I've seen yet.

Overall, its a great price for an excellent jacket.

I live in Iowa, and our winters always get to sub-zero at some

I live in Iowa, and our winters always get to sub-zero at some point. Is this a jacket that will keep me warm at -10 below?

Not on its own for any length of time. If you just need it for walking around town, car to house, house to car, that kind of thing, it'll do great, but more than probably an hour without moving around a fair bit and you'll be cold. Of course, it all depends on how you layer it, level of activity, whether you stay warm well naturally, etc.

Perfect Coat!

By:
April 6, 2009

Bought as a gift for my mom (5'2" - got a M - fits perfect for her) and she absolutely loves it! She always seems to be cold when outside (or inside for that matter) and this has a great lining that is soft and keeps her nice and toasty. Very stylish and she says she has received many compliments when she wears it out. Definitely her new favorite coat!

A pretty ok jacket

By:
November 3, 2008

I like this jacket. Warm and comfy. Lining is really soft. Only drawback is that the sleeves however are a bit shorter than I like. And I don't have freakishly long arms or anything. Other than that size is accurate.

My all time favorite jacket...ever!

By:
February 12, 2009

I liked this jacket the minute I opened the package. But when I put it on I fell in love. It is so soft, lightweight, and fits perfectly. I purchased the winter white, which looks great with an assortmant of scarves and hats.This jacket performed well on cold winter hikes, and around town. Very versatile, and so comfortable!If you are thinking about a new jacket this is the one.

Good fit

By:
March 23, 2009

This jacket fit my wife true to size. Looks good, and keeps her warm, however, the down is starting to come out at the seams a bit, which should not happen. MH is normally top quality, but this jacket isn't. May have to replace it next year with something else. She has only worn it about 10 times, and not for anything outdoorsy either.

love the puffy

By:
March 27, 2009

I quite like this jacket. I got it in the red (cinnaberry...?). It's my first puffy; it's warm and the lining is so soft. I almost always wear a medium and I think the fit was pretty true.

Like the jacket

By:
March 18, 2009

I read the reviews before ordering this jacket in Cinnaberry. Was a little worried about the sizing comments, especially related to length of sleeves. I'm between a medium and large size for clothes (broad shoulders). However, I ordered the medium and the sizing was just right, including the arm length (maybe the arm length is just an issue with the small sizes??). And the color rocks! Very pleased!

Check your sizes!

By:
November 4, 2008

This jacket proved that mountain hardwear doesn't have a standard sizing chart. The jacket is nice, and the lining is really fuzzy, but unfortunately if you order the size you need in other hardwear jackets, it most likely won't fit.
Thank goodness for backcountry.com as they were so nice to exchange it. Mountain Hardwear itself could learn some lessons from backcountry, as their customer service is certainly lacking.
