By Ranked #155 - Women's Down Jackets December 21, 2011

I'm an extremely cold-natured person, so I was pumped to get this jacket. It can keep me warm in around 25 degree weather, which is about how cold it gets where I live. There seems to be a lot of discrepancy about the "sweater" fit. I am 5ft, 105, and I thought the XS was still quite roomy and not what I would call sweater-fit. I have typically been layering it with a TKA microvelour Glacier 1/4 zip and windwall vest underneath. FYI, this jacket leaves LOTS of tiny downy feathers on my black windwall vest, which I find mildly annoying. IMO, the outer material of this jacket feels a little flimsy - like it could rip at any second. I'd prefer something more like the Redpoint Jacket for the outer material. (which I also own, and love). I got the black, but really wished I could have found the awesome Empire Blue from last year.
