This jacket is fantastic. My main questions going into the purchase were the color, the sizing, and the warmth. I bought the blue color. I thought it might be too shiny/colorful/bright for any sort semi-formal occasion, but I am fairly pleased that is colorful but also subdued slightly.

I am 5'11", 135 lbs., the small fits me perfectly (particularly the sleeves which are a little longer proportionally than your typical jacket sleeves). It has a slimmer (more athletic) fit than most other jackets like this so that is a definite plus.

This jacket is WARM. The 900 fill means that if you have just a t-shirt and this jacket on in a 68-70 degree house than you are going to be a little bit toasty, but i find it bearable (if not pleasant) most of the time if zipped all the way down. That being said, this jacket is meant for the cold, and it definitely does its job & it is SO LIGHT its truly incredible.

Things I look forward to testing are if it is water resistant and how well. (Have yet to try it out in the rain). Also, how well it does in extreme cold (like 15-20 degrees) but i know it will do great with other layers)

Also, you can't beat the value compared to other like products (e.g from Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear). They have more features, but this jacket's functionality is enough for me.
