Great comfort and lightweight jacket but first time in the snow the color around the seams changed to green. Probably the color underneath mixing with the blue color? Now looks weathered and old after only a few months. Don't recommend a light color

Almost perfect

Beautiful but runs big. Sadly, XS is out of stock so I will be returning this. For reference, I'm 5'3 1/2" and about 120-125 lbs.

I bought this to travel internationally- I wanted something really lightweight, that packs down small, but also is warm with a hood. This fits the bill perfectly, it keeps me warm in cool (but not frigid) weather and packs down to be barely bigger than a sunglasses case. Looks good on as well, I bought the black with red zippers which I was worried would look too gaudy but definitely doesn't.

Love these, size down

Like many others, I recommend sizing down. According to the size chart I should wear a medium. However, they were huge and the small are perfect. They will be replacing a pair of fleece pants I usually take for winter backpacking and on snowy hikes. I will be saving 4 oz and will be drier and just as warm. They seem reasonably durable too. The mediums were so big they tripped me and I fell on concrete. No sign or damage WHATSOEVER, in the pants.

Great jacket!

Love the jacket! Very lightweight and warm but also blocks the wind.

I bought this jacket to take backpacking/camping. I bought a small and I'm 5'3 and 127#. I'm a C cup in the chest and it's not too tight. I still have room to layer underneath but if I don't layer it;s not too big. I can wear a shirt and fleece under it and it would be just snug. This jacket with layering you could wear out at 30 degree weather. Without layers maybe about 40 degree would be fine. It's not a parka, but it's so light and fits into its own pocket for storage. Great for traveling or backpacking light. Stops wind as well, because the hood fits nice around your face. If you are walking or moving it keeps you super warm., I've even had to unzip it at 45 while walking. If standing in the cold wind for hours in the snow I would want a fleece layer under it. Overall it looks great, so light but keeps you warm despite how light it feels. I've used it at outdoor games, walking dogs, backpacking etc. You just can't beat the warmth vs weight ratio here. With a hat and neck fleece and gloves you could go out in 32 or less and be comfortable for several hours.

Best puffy ever

Bought this over a year ago, and I love everything about this jacket. the color is my absolute favorite, a deep jade, so its easy to reach for, it is so light weight i forget its on my body, except that I am toasty warm. the sleeves are long enough for me to tuck my hands in if I want to. I have tons of room to layer underneath and can throw my ski shell over the top. I bought a medium, and its perfect for my athletic lifestyle needs, I imagine the size small wold fit more like the model photos, which looks too tight for my taste. For reference I bought the same jacket, also size medium for my mom, who is 75 years old, 5'2"ish and more apple shaped...it looks amazing on her, but totally different. hits at her thigh, completely covering her bum, and is more fitted throughout. the sleeves are super long on her, but being as light as they are, she just scrunches them up and its not noticeable.

Pros - Kept me nice and warm for 8 days backpacking on the WRHR. Did not tear - even when I cringed brushing up against some snapped off pine branches while setting up my tent or laying down on rough rocks. Neither here nor there - a bit big on me. I have a 33" bust and 25.5" waist. I don't mind it being a bigger than I usually like, it allows for layering beneath. Cons - arms are pretty long for me (doesn't layer up nicely with a rain jacket, for example) and baggy.

the fit is odd

156cm/ 126lb Originally I got size L, but it was too large. Return for size M, and the armpit area is a bit too tight. I can feel the jacket is limiting my arm movement. The jacket is constantly touching my armpits. Since this particular jacket is highly rated for hiking/backpacking and I got it at a good deal, I am keeping it. But I don't think I will buy it again in the future.
