Outdoor Research Refuge Down Jacket - Women's
Well, I hope it performs

Convinced the wife to go with this brand when it came up on S&C. She's 5'6" and 110 lbs, and the small seems to fit her well. Hood's big, she looks kind of like a pink helium balloon, but she's cool with it. She dug the features and seems content to keep it. Only eyebrow raiser was that to me it felt like there was not very much down fill. Seemed thin. I guess that provides for better shape, but I'm crossing my fingers that this keeps her warm enough through the winter. It's a nice one, but doesn't feel worth anything close to its retail price. Maybe that's why it made it to S&C. Hope its performance proves us wrong about that.
