Absolutely fantastic!

By Anonymous Ranked #3170 - Men's Down Jackets November 24, 2008

I recently moved to the East Coast from sunny California and needed a warm down jacket in preparation for the worst. I scooped this lovely item for $150 and I couldn't be happier! I'm 5'9", slim build, and it's comfortable wearing a longsleeved shirt and fleece underneath the Verdi (small size). However, it's definitely not baggy and can be worn by itself too, which gives this product mega flexibility points.

The helmet is adequate if you've got a beanie on underneath, but it's a snug fit and wouldn't do so well with a helmet. Fortunately I'm not walking around town ready for crap to hit me on the head!

I've had a few people ask me why I bought the yellow colour, but I wanted something bright and it's a refreshing change from the sea of black and brown. Finally, with a fleece underneath I was able to walk downtown in 10-15 F weather for 2 hours without feeling a thing on my chest (my feet were another matter!). If I had to buy another jacket, I'd get this one again, in black (you know, to fit in).
