Maybe a silly question, but is this jacket downproof? I just returned First Ascent's Downlight jacket because I had feathers leaking from the darn thing!

I have the subzero down from MH and it does not let any down out. It is also much larger and higher down content so I guess that is a good sign for MH down in general. Just my 2 cents.

These things are supposed to be downproof, but inevitably some of the down will end up coming out. I don't have this jacket, but I have the Patagonia down sweater which is very similar. I've seen 2 feathers come out in 2 years of use so I have no complaints whatsoever. This is very similar in terms of weight/warmth to the Patagonia down sweater and the Zeus jacket the other person mentioned should be a little bit warmer. Honestly, this is where the backcountry.com return policy excels - if you find it leaking down in an unacceptable fashion, they will take it back at anytime, no questions asked. Good luck!

Haha..unfortunately there really isn't anything that is 100% down proof but, you might want to try looking into Marmot Ive had really good luck with their down jackets for a few years now. If you want something similar to this look into the Ama Dablam or the Zeus. I have both in the Womens version and haven't had any feathery incidents yet. Here are the links for those.
