I like this jacket. It looks great, though it's just a little short (6-feet tall, 170#, size large). The arms are a decent length but my waist is not well shielded from the wind. Worse, TNF's Nuptse jacket has more down filling, is therefore warmer, is longer, and costs considerably less. But this looks better than the Nuptse and feels great to wear. I do wish the collar had more substance, as there's nothing between it and my hat to keep out the cold. But it looks great. Not sure I would wear it out in falling snow without a shell, despite the DWR claim.

I have the hoody version of this jacket, with the 800 fill instead and its really long in the waist, its just like a parka and it has double hem tighteners which are extra beefy compared to the usual patagonia. The only problem is the amount of down in the sleeves is really little, so it kinda defeats the purpose.
