Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 December 15, 2008

I ordered this jacket after my fiance bought the men's version and loved it. Based on where my bust line was listed in the sizing chart, I bought a large, even though I'm only 5'4". By all rights I should be a medium, but sometimes jackets end up tight across my bust line, so I followed the chart, and it turned out to be too large. I've now ordered the medium, which fits better (I tried one on locally but bought at lower price on Backcountry.com).

As reported previously, this is not a slimming design. The horizontal baffles should be a clue! I too, look like a marshmallow, but warmth, not style, is the goal with this jacket. Nonetheless, my desire for a more flattering fit is why I gave the jacket 4 stars instead of 5.

Some reviewers have complained about the jacket being too short; this is a design meant for climbers, so it does not cover your butt by design. That said, if you are tall for your size, the Sub Zero may be too short for you. Another retailer's website lists the back length as 23.5".
