Dont hesitate!
This jacket is the lightest and warmest jacket I have ever owned. The 800 fill down keeps me toasty which is very appreciated since i have very little resistance to the cold. great for ice climbing or keeping off the chill in crisp mornings. I highly, highly reccommend this jacket!

Good deal!
Great product as always with Mountain Hardwear. I'm 5'3", 124lbs,and the Small size was actually OK.It would have been fine if I planned on wearing several layer under it. Hood doesn't adjust which is a drawback. Very light weight for the warmth it provides.

Very good jacket!
This is a great jacket!
It is really light yet extremely warm. Great as a base layer for those incredibly cold days!
It's super warm and light-weight.
I highly recommend this jacket.

Great Purchase
This is what I would consider a "light down" jacket. It is great for layering while still providing significant warmth! It is perfect for when the seasons are changing or layering under a waterproof shell. It is also extremely compact and comfortable.

Unbelievable jacket
Overall: very light and warm for its size. Also very soft and comfortable to wear. By looking at the pouch it comes with, it seems impossible at first that it will ever fit in there, but it stuffs in smoothly and effortlessly.
Insulation: I wore this with just a t-shirt underneath on a chilli, windy evening (around 45F), then with some layers just below freezing while taking a short hike in the mountains, and it performed incredibly well both times. It never felt like it was approaching its limits.
Design: although it's a short jacket, it hugs my waist and hip pretty well and the one-handed adjustable cord at the bottom makes sure no wind creeps up from underneath. The two exterior pockets keep your hands warm and their zippers look sturdy and never jammed. The one interior pocket is at belly height and does not have a zipper, but an elastic mouth. The only thing I'm missing a bit is an interior chest pocket, but that's not a big deal.
The hood is not adjustable, but protected my face very well nonetheless.

nice lightweight jacket
I saw this jacket on the "gear of the day" and knew I would have to get it. I've been looking for a lightweight down jacket for using around town, and/or on hikes/backpacking trips and think I found it! The jacket comes with a hood which is great and will add warmth on the colder nights either in town or in the mountains. It fits great, very comfy, so far has enough warmth but I haven't "field" tested it yet in the hills.....

Looks great, check sizing
I am very excited to receive this jacket as a lightweight and compact alternative to heavier fleeces. It's sized a little large, although I guess it depends on how much you want to be able to layer underneath it. I already have a big puffy down jacket, and so was looking for a more sweater-like fit. I'm 5'6", 130lbs, and generally a fairly reliable Medium for Mountain Hardwear -- but for this one, I'm going to try a Small. Otherwise, the cut and styling are fantastic -- I'm looking forward to trying it out in colder weather!

This is that easy to pack, great to wear, all purpose light insulation. Take it anywwhere and where it as an outer jacket or under a shell. You will love it!

Great jacket, fits small
Super lightweight, very fashionable. The one and only complaint is that it fits small. I am an XS across the board, but the armpits are too small on me. If I went to a Small, the rest of the jacket would be too big. I decided to keep it anyway because it's a great looking jacket.

not what I expected
This jacket was a serious disapointment. It was a very flimsy fabric. It is not a warm winter jacket. I wear a medium in most brands 5'6 135 pds and it was really large around the middle.

Just Right For Backpacking
This jacket is lightweight and warm. Great for layering. This is going to be great for our backpacking trips this year. It will even look good around town.

Best winter jacket ever!
I just love this jacket! Being waiting for it to arrive ever since I made the initial purchase.
It looks even better than the photo. So light weight and so SOFT. I can't believe how soft it is.
It comes with this cute little pouch.
I bought this jacket to wear when I travel overseas from Australia. Australian winters are very mild and I need a good quality, light weight jacket that is warm and this fits the bill.
I made the mistake of taking a wool/cashmere coat to NYC and Chicago on holidays and spent the whole time carrying the heavy coat with me. Never again!
I am looking forward to wearing this to China in 2.5 degree celcius weather conditions.
I am looking forward to making more purchases on this site. I already have a friend who will definitely be buying this jacket as well.

it weighs 11oz.

This seems to be a great jacket. It is very very soft and comfortable but I never wore it outside before returning it simply because I didn't like the way it fit. I am 5'2'' and size XS. The jacket was slim fitting but puckered out in odd places when zipped up. The stitching on the jacket is styled in wavey lines which, when worn add to the wobbly, puckered look of the jacket. Even with these factors, the choice to return the jacket was a difficult one because it was so comfortable, so lightweight, so tightly-packable and so warm. Perhaps it could work for someone else.

Love this jacket
This jacket is really lightweight but warm. I'm 5ft 2in and a XS fits me perfectly but leave enough room for all active movements. It looks great as is not bulky like other down jackets. It is also a great fit under my shell. It is so lightweight and compact that I will bring it along to all hiking/backpacking/camping trips.

Great jacket that is worth the money.
Really nice jacket. Not bulky and very light weight. Super warm too. The fact that it is made (partially) from recycled materials is cool too. My only concern is that the quilted construction may allow some of the threads pop loose in the future. Having said that, I think it is worth the money.
