This jacket was an excellent buy and I love the fit and warmth it provided. But straight out of the package this jacket reeked of wet dog or fish smell. I laundered it 3 different times with RevivX down cleaner and the smell got less intense but never totally went away. The customer reps told me that was rare for the Patagonia brand so your mileage may vary. Made in China with European down......hmmmm. You decide. Because of the smell, I had to return the jacket. Fortunately, I was able to get a new one from a different site to take it's place.
I also have a Marmot Zeus and I never had a problem with the smell. I just needed something that wasn't as warm as the Zeus, it was just too much for most conditions. The Patagonia down sweater was perfect as far as warmth vs puffy for everyday wear.
