Patagonia Upside Of Down Jacket - Women's - 2008 BCS

I bought this a few weeks ago, and since I live in Charlotte, NC (for now, moving soon), I have not yet had the chance to wear it out. But, I will. :D I agree w/ the previous reviewer that you can wear casually or a little dressier (ie. jeans and heeled boots) on chilly nights out. The ollalaberry color is lovely, but it looks like it's sold out now.

I am really happy with this stylish down jacket. It is very light but warm and cozy. The olallaberry color is really nice. I ordered my usual size - medium - but it seems to run on the slim side.

I've had this jacket for a year now, and it's what I pack when I'm traveling and will need both a casual jacket and one that can work for a semi-dressy situation on a cold night. It's very versatile that way - it's not too puffy, the pockets are flush and very low-profile, and the cut is feminine. It's very warm considering its size. I'm 5'11"/135lbs and the medium fits me perfectly. It's not as snug and fitted as the backcountry luft 800, but it's well proportioned.
A few details I like: the two-way zipper is rad. It comes in handy sometimes for cooling off or reaching something in the interior pocket if I'm wearing a scarf. Also, the interior deep mesh open pockets are great for stashing plane tickets or what-have-you.
For the tall and thin, I don't think you can go wrong with this jacket.

I originally ordered this from BC but later located one in the color I want and can't complain about the 40% less so returned BC's. However, I highly recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a casual down jacket. This is a good weight down jacket for the wet Westcoast winter - light, warm and water resistant. It is a classic design, slim fitting around the waist, so there is not much room allowance for layering, so order your size according to the size chart if you like it fitted or size up for layering. I am 5'1'' and normally wears Small - the "small" in this jacket fits around the shoulders, the sleeves are slightly long (I am okay with that) and the waist is snug. A medium would give me more room in the waist but then the rest would be too big, so kept the Small. I am very pleased with my new purchase.

Great jacket . Light and easy , but warm . Not bulky at all and fits nice on a woman's figure. Got it in burgundy ( berry?) color. The only downside is that the collar and sleeves get dirty extremely easily- maybe the fabric absorbs body oil/ dirt more than others. Other than that it's a perfect little ,warm jacket with enough space underneath to put a vest on very cold days. I got an xs and am about 5,5" and 110lbs. Really happy with it.

I bought this jacket for my sister. At first she said it was just ok. But 1 week later, she says she is not sure how she ever lived without it. The one issue with the jacket, is the size, she ordered a medium, and it runs a little small. She is 5'4" and about a size 6.
