Patagonia Down Sweater Jacket - Men's
Great Piece, Runs Large

I've really enjoyed this piece so far. I wouldn't wear it as outerwear if it was going to snow or rain, but its a great layer under a shell on really cold days. I wear it around town in Tahoe and love it for that. Super soft and comfy. I've found that most patagonia jackets run large. I normally wear a L jacket from others (Arcteryx, Marmot), but the M sweater fits me perfectly, expecially for layering. Same with a Patagucci softshell I just got. I'm 5'10" and 175-180.

Update: I've not had this jacket/sweater for a complete season. I was thinking about it because I just washed it for the first time. It had developed a bit of 'ring around the collar' but came clean easily and puffed right back up with a shoe in the dryer. Now I can put it away until the fall.
