Great jacket!

By Campo Ranked #2306 - Men's Down Jackets January 14, 2010

Overall, this jacket is awesome. I am 5'8", 180#, and the large fits perfectly. It is cut to a great length, not too long, not too short. I replaced all the cheap plastic snaps with heavy duty metal ones before I even wore the jacket and that was a piece of cake. Made the jacket's snaps much more durable. Very warm, somewhat water resistant (gets slightly water-logged along the cuffs and at the bottom of the jacket, which is not uncommon), and very functional. Pockets are cut well and are in good locations, and the goggle pocket is great for touring. The pit zips definitely vent heat (I was actually able to tour in this jacket). My beef is that the powder skirt is way too loose. In blower conditions the snow does end up above the skirt, which is not big deal, since I wear bibs with it. Also, the zipper can be a bit of a pain to operate, especially with gloves, but you just have to get the hang of it. Overall, a great jacket that could use a few tweaks!

Much better value than the Patagucci down jackets!
