Expedition Pack Down Hooded Jacket - Women's

Not what I expected

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

This was a beautiful color. However, it was much larger than expected. It also looked and felt like a big, bulky coat, but it was thin and not that warm, even inside the house. It just was not what I expected or was looking for.

Cozy and perfect!

I bought this recently after outgrowing a jacket I used for many years! I keep my jackets for multiple years and am very pleased with it so far. It’s extremely cozy and warm and I get cold easily! I live in the interior of BC, Canada, where it’s often brisk in the mornings and evenings. I am 5’6” and 170lbs of muscle with wider hips and shoulders - this jacket in a large fits perfectly with room for a hoodie underneath while not being too tight on my bum. The forest green colour is also beautiful and matches my green eyes but that’s besides the point. I love it and hope it lasts many many years!

Jacket for a petite mid size woman

I wanted to leave a review for other petite mid-size women as it is hard for me to find jackets that fit without being drowned in sleeves.  I’m 5’1” 155 lbs measurements 40-36.5-41.5 (between US sizes 10-12) I ordered a large because I wanted it roomy enough for a sweater inside but not so big I look like a potato sack. The Large met this need, I can wear it with just a base layer, when I hike in the winter and add a sweater if it’s too cold. The sleeves because of the cuffed ends worked well for my short arms (usually large jackets the sleeves go past my arm or balloon so much in the cuff, this one didn’t). My gloves did not get “pushed out” by the sleeves Overall great down jacket for a petite mid size woman, worth the price

Love this coat!

I’ve had this coat for a few weeks now and I love it. It’s dreamily warm, looks fantastic and the pack down feature it really going to be great for travel. It has even performed perfectly on walks in temperatures well below freezing. I’m just over 5’6” and 150 lbs, athletic build and medium works well. It was slightly larger than what I thought it would be, as I am hoping to use it under a waterproof layer soon, but the small would likely have been too small. Still thinking it will work as a mid layer when I need it to.

Comfy and stylish

Bought this for my wife for Xmas, and she has worn it every day since! Even in California. She loves it.

Love it.

I bought this to go under my Keb rain shell, to turn the Keb into a proper winter coat. It works great! I'm now comfortable in wet blustery winter weather. And on days when it's cold but dry, this down jacket is great by itself. A total winner! Couldn't be happier.

Warmest i have ever worn

Super warm. The hoodie is great and the front flap keeps your chin and lips out of harms way if zipped all the way. You can easily lower it, to your liking, to control warmth. I love this jacket, and it is now my goto for really cold days.

Great jacket, warm & lightweight - too small in chest, needs side gusset in chest area

This is a great jacket, but I find the same problem as with North Face and Canada Goose: The Medium fits perfectly in arm length, body length, waist and hips. But I have a larger chest (DD) and it is too snug, just through the chest. The jacket is clearly made for a smaller chested figure. Going up to the size LG is not an option, it is too big every where else. It would be so simple to put an elastic gusset in the side seams just in the chest area to accommodate a larger chest. Please consider this! Otherwise the jacket is wonderful.

Perfect winter coat

This is the second one of these that I have purchased. First one in black and second in the dark green. The warmest jacket I have ever owned. One for best and one for work. Never felt cold during the nightshift working outdoors. My mum, dad and brother have also all purchased this coat (different colours of course) and have all stated how warm they are.

Warm for how compact it is!

I love this jacket. I have tried a lot of down jackets for hiking and lightweight warmth - this one meets all of my needs! I can't believe how warm it is even in a Minnesota winter. I can wear this one down to about 15 F comfortably.
