This jacket is extremely snuggly and immediatley feels very warm as soon as you put it on. I think this is due to the super thin fabric, which is so thin it practically feels like you're wearing the feathers, rather than a coat. However, that strength is also the coat's weakness, as I just knew I'd snag or tear that fabric fairly immediately. It's supposed to be quite tough, but I'm quite tough on my gear, and I just didn't believe it would hold up to long-term abuse. To be fair, if your plan is to wear this under a tougher shell, I think it would be perfect. I wanted to wear it as a standalone jacket. Also, you can see the feathers and seams through the blue color.
Fit: I found it to fit very nicely around chest and hips. I have an hourglass figure, and find that a lot of jackets fit tightly across these two areas.
Features: The hood has a wire brim so you can shape it to your liking, there are plenty of adjustment points on it. Cuffs are elastic, not adjustable, in case that concerns you. The zipper was thinner, not one of the big plastic ones, and might be tough with gloves on. Seemed work easily though. This thing packs down super small, into a tiny provided stuff sack.
I ended up returning this jacket and buying the Rab Neutrino Endurance, which is thicker fabric. A little less snuggly (but plenty warm), packs down a little larger, but seemed more practical in the long run.
Cons:
- thin fabric, feathers show
Would recommend: Yes

My wife has trouble keeping warm. Not anymore! This coat will make her sweat if it is above freezing...that is an achievement. We live in Arkansas. I bought her a WM Antelope 5 degree sleeping bag. She fell asleep in it in our 72 degree house with the bag fully cinched. I lasted about 15 sec. So I sold that bag to my mother-in-law and got her a -10 degree feathered friends bag. She gets a little warm in it. Anyway this jacket is not only stylish and light, it keeps my wife warm. The fit is great as well. She can lift her arms over her head with out much waist line movement. It packs into a pouch about the same height as a Nalgene bottle but with a lager diameter. Would probably compress down to about the same size as a Nalgene. She loves the wire brim on the hood, although I'm concerned about its durability over time. I love the "Poofyness"... Very "Poofy"..My wife gets sick of me patting her while she's wearing it. Great jacket! It will not disappoint!

Bought this jacket to wear on cold (below freezing) multi-day backpacking trips. I am always cold, but this jacket, when combined with a thermal under layer, kept me toasty in the low 20s/high teens (F). Cinch-able hood kept head and face warm in wind. Performs well in falling snow without a waterproof layer. I am 5’7”, weigh 115 pounds, and the US small is a perfect fit (either with out without additional under-layers).
