I have to say this jacket is perfect for my cold morning walks with the doggo and the hood was much appreciated over not having one with a really budget Eddie Bauer without one. I wanted to see what a premium down jacket was like and this doesn’t disappoint with the warmth and lightweight of 800 fill power over the 650 power I was using. I got the Buckwheat Gold and love the color. I even get compliments on it. You can’t find this color outside a vest in my area. I got a Large since I have a 42S chest and 36 waist. There’s enough space for layering and yet not too baggy. I tried on a Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown after owning the jacket for awhile and a Large is super slim fitting, armpit area was tighter, and sleeves seemed too long. The inner pocket is great, but I still wish there was a larger all purpose “goggle” pocket that could fit my gloves. This leads me to the only con I have with the jacket. The outer 2 hand pockets are a bit on the smaller side and items are often falling out. I’ve almost lost my gloves multiple times and the sanitizer bottle I keep in there falls out all the time. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with the Patagonia Down sweater for warmth and lightweight!

Pros: -warm yet breathable -semi stretchy fit so it’s comfortable for easy activities (walking dog on a cold morning) and hard activities (running, on the slopes, etc) -great hood -good pockets -wrist cuffs -also great for airplane travel because of how light & packable it is while retaining warmth Cons: -zippers are hard to pull, especially the internal chest pocket -super soft material...do not take through the brush or wet areas -wish hood was removable -$$$$

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I have the same jacket in a different color. It's a light weight, warm jacket that packs well. Best uses include: light hiking, sitting by the camp fire, chilly mornings heading into work. My husband is 6'1" 185 lbs athletic build and the large fits perfectly. He loves the hood option as well.

This jacket was great for about 1 year. It was light, kept me warm , and had reasonably good features. After 1 year, it started leaking from several locations in the back. I didn’t find a way to repair it, so I threw it away. $300 for a jacket that only lasts 12 months isn’t a good deal in my book. I don’t recommend this jacket.

Some reviews are hours or days after they bought it. This is a one-year review. Overall the cut of the jacket is great. So are the features. Really comfortable and looks good. Unfortunately durability is pretty poor. The DWR finish wore off much more quickly than other garments. The down flattened out to a point where the jacket isn't very warm. Most concerning is the wear and tear from everyday movements. The pockets are positioned in a way that the zippers cut into the sleeves. After the first few months, I had several long tears on the inside of the sleeves. Now, it catches a few times every time I wear it. Was a good buy for about 12 months. Would not buy again.

Keep you warm

This jacket does keep you warm and is very soft to the touch.

I’ve mostly used this as a layer under a torrent shell. Great jacket for out in town or on a nice, well maintained trail but I wouldn’t wear it through thick brush, it won’t fare well. If you want a work jacket, get a carhart! I love mine, works a little well in the cold, I often find I need to remove it. Get it sized to fit and it will serve you well.

This jacket is far from warm. Wore it in 35 degree weather to walk the dogs and felt the cold within 5 minutes.

I've been searching for a warm pack-able jacket for some time. I finally decided to pull the trigger and order this jacket. It arrived quickly, in 2 days, in a small box that seemed empty. The box was so light that I thought for sure that the jacket will not keep me warm. I've used it twice in NJ in high 20 to low 30 degree weather. WOW! Was I wrong - easily the best jacket I ever owned. Kept me very warm , even with a cold wind blowing all day.

This is an exemplary jacket from Patagonia's line up. The first thing that struck me about the jacket when I put in on is the fit, the size runs a bit smaller then Columbia or Northface jackets, i.e. more mainstream brands. That is typical Patagonia though. I actually prefer a snug fit because it keeps you warmer during the winter by not allowing a air pocket between you and the layer. The quality is quintessential Patagonia, the outer material doesn't feel like it would hold up to rips and tears well. However for the daily commute it works awesome! I don't use the jacket as a backpacking jacket but the down is super pack able (I checked!). I love the color and overall look of the jacket, while its slightly bulkier then the Synthetic version of this coat it looks very similar. Which is a good thing! Overall the style and warmth of the product is why I bought it, I've worn it on many cold days here in Utah and I highly recommend it for a daily wear product.

Purchased this to replace my misuse of a Nano Puff for a North East winter jacket. Pound for pound this jacket was great; perfect is any type of dry(ish) winter weather and light enough to not weigh me down during the subway ride . Used it too for winter nights is all types of climates.

Everyone needs a good poofer in their kit, and so far, this one has performed exceptionally and in every way I hoped it would. I’ve had the jacket about a month and in that time have taken it on multiple ice climbing and snowshoeing trips. On cold trips in the backcountry it has served me well as a midlayer. On cold ice climbs, the hood keeps me cozy under my helmet. As a photographer, keeping batteries warm in the winter is always a struggle, but the inside zippered pocket makes it easy to keep them close to my body heat, and the size of that pocket means I can fit in a couple extra snacks or my phone as well. When it’s time to shed a layer, this is my first choice, as it packs down unbelievably well. When I’m at home, headed to class and walking around campus, this is my go to jacket. Not only does it look great, but it manages to keep me comfortable no matter the temperature, warm when it’s 20 and cozy (but not too hot) when it’s 50. I’m 6’1” and 170, and I think the large is perfect for this jacket. It allows room for layering underneath (i’ve had thermals, a synthetic long sleeve t shirt, and a fleece all underneath comfortably) yet still doesn’t look too big or baggy when wearing it with just a t shirt underneath. The material is lightweight, so just as with any puffy, I pay extra caution when hiking through dense wooded areas, and keep my shell on over it to protect from tears. This is a factor with any puffy though, so I don’t view it as a negative in this particular jacket.

I love this jacket and how warm it is, perfect for rainy seattle days to keep you warm. It's also really light and highly packable. Definitely something to take from the city to the trails.

In the beginning, jacket was awesome, very warm, stylish ,true to size. It was used for daily commuting in NY. After two months I noticed small tear on left sleeve and the down started to leak. Also I noticed another tear at the bottom of the jacket. Very short amount of time for that kind of damage, by my opinion. Next thing is a DWR finish, very inconsistent. Material used for this jacket is weak. Only thing I like the hood, very functional.

Is this jacket combined with a Patagonia medium weight fleece going to be warmer than the Arc'teryx thorium ar hoody?

What Patagonia shells are compatible with this jacket since it's not an active fit? I'm looking for a weatherproof hardshell

Hey, I'm 6'2" and 185 pounds. Wondering if the M or L would be more sufficient for me.

Anthony W.

Can you wear a climbing helmet under the hood?

Manny J

I'm 5'10, 210 lbs, 36-inch waist, broad shoulders. I usually wear Large or XL in insulated jackets or shells, and I prefer a slightly loose fit (that can be cinched at the hem). What size do you recommend? thanx!

Hal B

I am 5' 10" and 220lbs, 46 chest but a little big around the midsection. Should I go with XL or XXL in this jacket? Based on the sizing chart it looks like the XL would fit the chest but I'm concerned it might be snug around the torso. Should this jacket fit snug or loose?

Daniel S.

I'm buying this for someone that is 6' about 175 lbs and I ordered a large in case they want to layer, is that alright or will they run into problems?

Jeanette N.

hello, 6 ft 1in, 195 lbs. Should I get a large or xlarge?? want to be able to wear a sweater of sweatshirt underneath. Thanks !

Armida B.

Is this jacket windproof?

Trevor N.

Is this jacket sized to go over a couple other layers (Fleece and soft shell jacket) or do I need to size up to get it to fit? I'm 6ft tall and 165lbs. I wear a medium.

Tyler H.

I am 5'10"/185 with a 43" chest. By the sizing guide, it says I should order a large. Thoughts?

Troy G.

My husband is 5'11, 180 lbs. He would typically wear a large but his arms are disproportionate and tend to be longer for his size. As such, he usually has to buy XL. We looked at the size chart and followed the instructions but if that were the case he would wear a small (measures at 32.5 inches). Clearly, we are doing something wrong. If you have any suggestions or recommend a size for him that would be great! Thank you.

ashley

So I'm 6'1" and 170 pounds. Should I go with a medium or a large? I don't plan on layering much beneath the jacket.
