I purchased this for sheep hunting. When I got it in the mail it felt way heavier and bulkier than advertised. It's about double the advertised weight. They claim 9.3oz but it is closer to 18oz. That's a pretty significant difference and "approximately" doesn't seem to be used in good faith on this one. I overall think very highly of Mountain Hardware products. I have used and trusted many of their products for military deployments, mountaineering, sheep hunting, climbing Denali etc. If they put the correct specs in the description I wouldn't have purchased it. It appears to be made well but would be better suited for beers at the bon fire after the adventure than during it. I still gave it three stars because it is well made and sturdy. I just wouldn't use it for anything that requires me carrying it in a backpack for more than a day.

Great Weight To Comfort Ratio For Undexpected Chills In The High Desert.
Simply the best jacket. Super light weight, I never have to worry about sacrificing weight for comfort. I just throw it in my bag now and don't even think about it. It washes quite well too, as I run it through the ringer at work and camping. The down has not had a problem after about 45 washes with wool balls on regular temps. It's not water proof, but for light rains I have not had to throw on a rain jacket and have not felt that it was damp after.

Everything Great But The Armpits
Loved everything about the jacket but armpits rode high. I tried to convince myself to overlook but that uncomfortable feeling was gnawing away. Layering with a midsize performance sweater was the final straw. This jacket is made for skinny dudes. I’m 5’6, semi athletic, bought a medium. Tired of these company not finding the sweet spot. The jacket is not label as slim fit but that armpit says otherwise. Snug is fine but not allowing layering and breathing space for the armpit is not right.

Versatile And Warm Jacket With Great Flexibility
This is a nice jacket—super versatile. I use it for night walks around the neighborhood and camping trips to the desert. It keeps me warm even on really cold nights. My favorite feature, though, is how roomy it feels. It allows plenty of flexibility, even when I layer up. This is my second one, and this time, I went for the hooded version.
