Patagonia Down Sweater Jacket - Men's
Lovin' it

Ranked #517 - Men's Down Jackets
March 17, 2011
I find this quite warm for the size/weight. It was never meant to be a stand alone winter jacket. It is a great layering piece for insulation and also works well for me as an outer shell as long as precipitation is not a concern. I have washed in Nikwax downproof as recommended by Patagonia and it will shed very light rain and snow but I would not dare try this for extended periods or anything over very light precipitation.
Extremely light and very packable. The reg. $200 price tag stings a little but it is a fair deal at the current $140.
