This coat feels like you are wearing a feather. It is soooo light. It squishes up into a grapefruit size ball if you get warm - you can shove it in a pocket or a daypack or your purse. It is cozy warm. I have worn is snowshoeing - got to hot and had to take it off and try out the grapefruit size ball in a daypack thing - perfect. I have worn is skiing (under a waterproof liner jacket (temp mid 20s) - stayed a just right temp. I have worn it around town (our temps have been 0 lately) stayed very warm and received many, many compliments - so high on fashion appeal. So, this is a well rounded, well adjusted jacket that would make a cold weather best friend for about anyone.
This jacket is awesome. I cannot wear it enough! It is very flattering on and stylish. It has gotten me lots of compliments from the gentlemen. It is warm, I have worn it in 6 degree weather and have no complaints. It is so light weight and very easy to move in. Overall an excellent jacket. I would buy it again.
If you were disappointed in the Patagonia version of this jacket like I was, give this one a try. I found that it fits better, looks better on, and seems to be of a higher quality. I did order two, because I was unsure of which color I wanted, and I did find that although they were the same size, one was too big. Luckily the color I liked best was the one that fit smaller (and better). In the Patagonia version I seemed to be between an XS and a small. In this jacket I got a small and it fits well with room for a heavy sweater underneath. You may want to order down if you only plan to wear a t-shirt under it.
