Performance and Style

Backcountry.com Luft 800 Down Sweater - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 15, 2009

I purchased the BC Luft Down Sweater specifically for an eight night trans-sierra backpack trip in Sept. Weight, of course, is always the issue and I wasn't disappointed. This and a Gore-Tex shell were all I brought for layers. I never once got cold. This jacket is toasty warm, comfortable and soft. It just feels great. I love the way it fits. It moves so well with you. I'm average size, 5'6" and slender and I bought a medium. I read where one reviewer was disappointed with the sleeves that they were stretched out when they got it. I feel the way the sleeves are designed is a plus. I really hate sleeves that grab my wrists tight and bunch around my gloves. These sleeves fit over gloves very nicely. I'm not a flashy girl, but I went out on a limb and bought the teaberry color. It's bright and looks really sharp. When I returned from my trip I brought the jacket to work and two of my co-workers who are my height and also slender tried it on and really loved it, but for one draw back. They are both really busty ladies and the medium didn't fit around their chest. The fit is feminine and flattering, though. If you are big-busted, you may want to go up a size.

The only unfortunate thing, nobody's fault I believe, is somehow I got a hole in the sleeve right above the cuff. I don't when or how it happend, but feathers were coming out all over. So when I got back I contacted BC to exchange it and I explained the situation and, as usual, they were fabulous about returning it and another one is on its way. The affordability makes this a five-star beauty.
