Unbelievably lightweight & warm

Ranked #602 - Women's Down Jackets
December 16, 2008
I live in L.A. so bad weather isn't really an issue. Hence, it doesn't take a drastic drop in temperature to make me feel really cold. I wanted a casual jacket for everyday errands that didn't make me look and feel like I was going camping instead (but would be handy when I do!). I ordered this one based on the description of it's light weight, slim fit, and warmth. When I received the package, I was very surprised to find I have sweaters that weigh more than this jacket. When I tried it on, it warmed me up immediately. The fit is perfect, very streamlined and actually flattering! I'm very petite (5'1") so the coat's length works for me. I wore the jacket to run errands tonight in 43 degree temps (freezing for me) plus rain and no umbrella with only a thin t-shirt underneath. Kept me dry, deliciously warm, and only wishing I'd worn a hat!! And it's machine washable too??? Can't get more awesome...
