Reviews & Ratings for Obermeyer Devon Down Jacket - Women's — 1 review — Page 1

I recently bought this jacket and while it was very flattering and cute in style, and the color was very pretty, I returned it because being cute doesn’t cut it if it’s not comfortable or warm. I was excited to try this jacket because I’m only 5’4 and have a large chest and usually wear a small or medium in shirts or sweaters and a size 8 in jeans, so I look goofy in most large jackets, (intended for women that are 5’10 or something), but can’t zip mediums or smalls comfortably in the chest so I often end up in tent looking oversized large jackets for chest room, so I was happy to find these came in petite sizing. I bought a size 14 petite and it fit me well with room to layer but not look bulky. It was really nice to find a cute and flattering jacket that fits my body type. So the two stars are entirely for the fit, I debated on giving only 1 star. My issue was with the texture of the fabric, it ruins the entire jacket for me!!! It’s very plasticy and sticky like a cheap low end rain jacket from zero exposure or columbia made from the type of nylon that makes you colder for wearing it because it’s cold to the touch on the inside and outside and it’s very clammy, I know I’d be really uncomfortable if I wore it somewhere like the grocery store because within about 2 minutes of putting it on in the house it made me feel like I was wearing a plastic bag with no ventilation, it’s not breathable fabric at all, then I tried going outside in the cold in the back yard to test it...
