I had the original Stretchdown for years I loved that jacket. It was time to get a new one so when I received the updated model of the Stretchdown I immediately didn't like it. Compared to the old one the loft and puffiness felt so much less substantial. It felt very flat even after giving it time to loft out of the package. The Stretchdown material itself also felt weirdly crinkly? The old stretchdown was this nice sleek soft fabric this felt to the touch like cheap paper. The fit is strange. It's small at the shoulders and billowy at the bottom. I tried 2 sizes and both of them were odd. I saw another guy walking around with the same jacket and same thing the bottom part of the jacket looked too long/big. I don't know why they changed it but I returned this in favor of the Ghost Whisperer and I like the Ghost Whisperer better because the fit makes more sense.

It's Okay
First off the color is nothing like the picture. More of a navy blue rather than the bright blue in the photo. The sleeves are long and the cuffing on the sleeve is weird and doesn't have enough elasticity to keep the wind out, okay if you are wearing gloves. The arm holes are also weird and rub my armpits awkwardly. I got medium and im 5'9" 175 lbs

Well Fitting Warm Jacket
I bought one of these jackets a few years ago and liked it so much that I just got another one. Fits well, not too bulky but with great insulation, handy pockets to keep a toque or gloves ready to go. The last jacket held up well through several washes as well.

Don’t Get These Jabbers With Staggered Stitchings
Don’t get these down filled jackets where the stitchings are staggered. Three down will eventually travel down and your shoulder and chest areas will not have significant insulation.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Got this about a month ago on a really good sale, perfect because I was planning on gettting one before. Great jacket, smooth exterior, somewhat slim fitting wrist cuffed and adjustable waist

A Great Jacket
A great feeling warm jacket! I have a 40" chest, 34" waist, 160 lbs and the medium fits great. Have worn in temps ranging from mid 30s to mid 40s and have been warm with just a cotton long sleeve under it. Love the stretch of the durable fabric and the matte green color. Also, this jacket doesn't have the "marshmallow look" of other downs. Overall, this is the best down jacket I have owned and look forward to years of use.

New Favorite Jacket
Quickly became my new goto jacket. Down is comfortable in a variety of temperatures, I've worn this jacket in temperatures ranging from 20-60 degrees (-7 to 16 Celsius) and felt great. High quality outer shell is water/wind resistant and stretch for various activities. IMHO the baffles for the down look distinctive, but not too crazy for a nice overall look while being very functional. Fit true to size.

Excellent Everyday Jacket
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket to be my new everyday "throw-it-on-and-go" jacket, to replace my Nano Puff (drank too much beer and it shrunk in the middle, devastated.) I was just going to get another Nano Puff but decided to branch out. I loved my old jacket in every way so the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I am comparing it to that.
Overall, I am perfectly pleased with this jacket, its very warm but not too hot, light-weight but a bit heavier and bulkier than the Nano Puff. I'm not a huge fan of the double zipper as it adds just that little bit of complexity to the task of zippin' up, BUT I am well aware than when the cases arise that I can use the double zip, I'll be glad I have it. I miss the interior breast pocket but then I remember that I have the same functionality with the exterior one on this jacket. I love that the baffles are woven, not stitched because the there are no threads to catch on branches whatever.
Overall a very comfortable and warm coat to be my new Everyday Wearer and I am perfectly pleased with it as a replacement for my Nano Puff.

Outstanding jacket used immediately for a European trip amongst the wind, cold and light rain--the jacket performed flawlessly. It fits perfectly, was warm, wind-resistant, and dried quickly with no degradation whatsoever. I'm so happy with this purchase

Best Purchase Of 2023
This jacket is so flexible and warm. I live in Chicago, and during the winter (sub freezing) I can wear a sweater and this jacket and stay warm without any other layers. Buying this for my family members. My cat h8s it though.

This jacket is surprisingly warm for being so lightweight. The stretch allows it to layer nicely, and I love the fit.
