I have never had a down jacket and did some research with a few other brands before purchasing this one. I didn't know much about goose-down vs synthetic - after my research I concluded this was the one based of raving reviews and the feel of it. It's light-weight, durable and very warm out in the cold. Winter in Utah has been cold so far, 9 degrees at night - and this jackets cuts the cold out and keeps me cozy and warm. It's not too warm in temps in the 40-50 range either bc it's so light and thin. I am 5'4'' - 120 lbs - initially bought the SMALL but it was too bulky around my midsection and bust - so I exchanged for an XS. The sleeves are nice and long and the fitted cut makes this nice and form-fitting. I highly recommend this jacket.
