Good insulator. very minimalistic and basic - Patagonia Down Shirt - Mens

Pros: The down "shirt" just looks awesome. So aesthetically speaking, this shirt/jacket is spot on.
It's probably about as warm as a nanopuff.
It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles (i.e., not a lot of things to go wrong with it.)

Cons
Lack of bells and whistles could be a bad thing to you. Personally, I would like to see simple zippers on the hand pockets and simple velcro closure on the arm holes.
It's not as warm as the puffier Men's Down Shirt.
The material has turned a darker color up near my neck. It seems that the neck line part that touches my skin has become "oily" and darkened. I'm not some super oily dude either so this is strange for me. It's not probably noticeable by most people looking at me though.
It leaks down feathers quite a bit. Not sure how to improve on that but i wonder how many feathers I will have left after 10+ years of wearing this jacket.
