good cosmetics overall, far from very puffy IMO

By Tuan A Vu Ranked #1958 - Men's Down Jackets July 9, 2009

For $149 this jacket is satisfactory to the looks. but once you consider the price/performance of this brand name and its vaunted 700-fill specifications, you would wonder whether you have spent correctly. the down jacket is slightly flat overall, not nearly puffy as the Nuptse which I bought for $131 in the Christmas sale. Wearing this, you have the feeling that this is intended for a autumn walk in a park/woods. Nothing in this build is indicative of the expected down content that would protect you from the chills of a nordic wind. I have to return this since this cannot be a authentic 700-fill or worth this price,i.e. maybe it's imported OEM item dissimulated under the advertized picture that looks so attractive only from afar
