Outdoor Research Refuge Down Jacket - Women's
Nice jacket, large hood

This is truly a very nice jacket, but I had to return it because the hood was so ridiculously big. With the hood down, the fastening tabs were way out over my shoulders and it just looked pretty dorky. Since I'm not a snowboarder, I really have no need for such an oversized hood. Perhaps they could come out with a version of this jacket with a normal-sized hood for those of us who would just like to use the jacket to keep us warm for walking the dog, running errands, etc., in the cold. I exchanged it for the Mountain Hardwear Sub-Zero Parka, and I am very pleased with that!
