Great Jacket

This jacket is perfect for a wide range of temperatures. It’s light weight and great for wear on Fall/Spring days but has enough warmth to get you through most winter days, too. Highly recommend!

Outdoor Use

I am 5'10", 200lbs athletic build. I got size XL and love it!!! The jacket keeps me warm and preforms well on top of a mountain in December or sitting rink side watching my daughter play ice hockey. The jacket cuts wind, breaths well, fits great.

A Great Puffer Jacket

This puffer jacket strikes a great balance between function and everyday wear. The reinforced shoulders add durability where it matters, and the drawstring waistband helps lock in warmth without feeling bulky. The overall quality feels solid and well-made. I’ve used it both as a base layer while skiing and as an everyday winter jacket, and it performs well in both settings. It’s not overly puffy, but still warm enough to handle even the cold days in South Dakota.

Light Down Jacket

I got this jacket for backpacking. Its great for this purpose. Light weight, packs down nicely, reinforced wear and tear areas. I would recommend it to anyone.

I Love This Thing

I have been wearing this jacket non-stop since I got it. Its extremely light and very warm for its size and weight. Over the last weeks as I have been wearing it, I have notice it "bleeding" feathers in very small amounts, but I'm sure this is common among down jackets. Overall, this is a great jacket. My only warning is that the cut is pretty "athletic" and is a bit tight in the waist,but fits great everywhere else. So, you may need to size up.

Exactly What I Wanted

2 months in and I'm very pleased with this jacket. It super lightweight and packable, but still VERY warm. As a matter of fact, the only minus I can give this so far is no under pit zips to let a little heat out. Fit seems true to size. I'm 5'8", 150# and the medium is perfect. Feels like a warm hug without being too restrictive. So far it's been from the Midwest to the West Coast. Handles rain and drizzle well for short periods. It packs great and looks great just after unstuffing. I do appreciate the reinforced area for packs. I have worn with multiple packs without any issues or signs of wear.

The Most Perfect Down Jacket I’ve Owned

I love this thing - I’m two years in and it still looks new, it’s my go to for 6-8 trips a year, stuffs into my backpack small and come out and fluffs up instantly. Not a stitch out of place and warm as hell. The amount of down around the neck is a highlight and the length of the jacket on a long torso is perfect. Can’t recommend enough.

Nice Jacket

Nice jacket but the arms feel tight for me. It’s very warm but I do wish the shoulders and body were the same color rather than shiny. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to wear it much yet but I’m looking forward to

Excellent Quality

This jacket punches well above the price point. It packs down and can be zipped into it's own pocket. At that size it can be used as a travel pillow or can be squeezed down to even more to about the size of a 1 liter Nalgene bottle. The shoulders are reasonably water and wind resistant. I would order your regular size, and if you're not sure which would fit then order one size up. They tend to size on the more conservative side.

A Nice Light Down Jacket

Good quality, with more durable material over shoulders, but thin on the down in this area.

Incredible Value

At MSRP, this jacket would not be particularly noteworthy or differentiated from the glut of similar performance-oriented down jackets from reputable manufacturers at that price point. That is not a Nock. By all appearances it is well constructed and has durability enhancements in the right places for use with a pack and other outdoor activities. But to get a lightweight, highly packable high fill-power performance down jacket at this price is an unbeatable value.

Great Light Weight Cold Weather Coat

Light weight and warm, good material will not tear easily fits into small package great for packing. Low temp. 30deg so far. I was warm. Sleeve cuffs alittle big lets cold air in. Overall great

Excellent Fit, Nice Slim Puffy Jacket

It's Outdoor Research - a known company for making quality products. This jacket does not dissapoint, though time will tell for how warm it is once winter starts in full force. It's a nice fit with plenty of length in the sleeve for a 6'3" frame. It has a little bit of roominess in the torso for larger torsos, or an extra layer underneath for slimmer folk. It isn't bulky at all, and it looks really nice on. Seems like the outer material will hold up to some scuffs without ripping...seems like it's a touch thicker to be more durable. Very happy with it.

Great Jackeet

I live in the Rockies and spend a lot of time outdoors. OR makes great insulated products. This is perfect for cool fall and sunny winter days. If get gets cooler, I just add a shell. I love the durability of OR's gear.Whether for a trip to the store or hiking, this is perfect.

Great Simple Light Jacket

Wanted something that was packable and warm from an independent company, thanks for the deal!
