Was a wonderful, warm, cozy jacket until I washed it. After just one washing, because the design does not have closed cells, all the feathers clumped in spots, leaving other spots bare. I am just astounded that the designer didn’t think of that. It was a very expensive jacket. I’ve washed my Patagonia puffys over and over and they were fine. I will not buy this design again.

I volunteer at the animal shelter twice a week, walking shelter dogs for 3 hours every Saturday and Sunday. Every time I come home, I machine wash this jacket. That’s twice a week - 8 times a month - 40 washes in just one winter season. This is now my third winter wearing it to the animal shelter. Why am I saying this? Because after all those washes, it hasn’t lost its color or its shape!!! Some might think I’m crazy for wearing such a good jacket to an animal shelter. But for me, it’s about warmth and comfort - and I need both when I’m outside in the cold and constantly moving for 3 hours without a break. It hugs me like a cocoon and keeps all the cold out. The hood and neck closure design is excellent and truly protects my neck from brutal North Atlantic wind gusts. And it’s so comfortable - which proves that warm jackets don’t have to be heavy. On super cold days, I just add layers: merino wool long sleeve + either a light fleece or a light insulated vest. For size reference I am 5.2' tall, wight - 135 pounds - My Jacket is size M I’ve recommended this brand to all my friends and I just hope they never change a thing about the quality. I’m now saving up to buy their rain jacket, a hoodie, pants, and some sun-protective T-shirts for the warmer season!

I bought this jacket a while back, and it was great at first. For the price, I thought it would be MUCH more durable. Unfortunately, after a 2-3 washes the feathers started to fall out and it has become very thin. Recently, the hood has also started to come apart. For the price I paid, I’m disappointed. The jacket isn’t the warmest either. The external material is nice, it doesn’t snag and has stayed intact. I really like the chest pocket and the inner pocket. You can make the waist smaller as well.

I'm a huge MH fan and already own two ghost whisperers and one stretch down parka. I fell in LOVE with this bright blue color and sized up to a medium for a bit more room as I wanted to wear this with bulky stuff underneath. The size and quality is as expected but the COLOR is definitely not. The website has "Outer Dark" as a brighter blue with a white logo. I received a navy jacket with a black logo. I'm not sure if I was sent the wrong one but I don't see anything similar on the website to what I actually received. Lovely jacket, just please note Outer Dark is very much a deep navy.

Reviewer K Riff and I are in the same boat! I also bought this after having to warrantee my first one due to the down all getting concentrated after washing, despite following directions. I have the same critiques of this one. It feels more cheaply made - less filling and courser material. Additionally, the SX previously fit my petite arm length, but now it’s too long. I’m keeping it because this is the 3rd item I’ve tried to buy with my warranty credit and I need a down jacket. I was hoping for some new down jackets to choose from this season, and not seeing any I like (down but with an urban ish look to it), I’m just giving up. I will try to keep this one cleaner, and do more to spot clean because I think it will get ruined by the washer again.

I got this for climbing in the fall/winter and the durability exceeds my expectations. I boulder in it and haven't ripped it once. It can brush against pokey trees and branches, and still not a rip in sight. Impressed. It's also super stretchy so even with a couple of layers underneath, I still do'nt feel restricted.

Great jacket! It is light weight yet warm and does indeed have nice stretch. I love the rust/brown-ish color. Got this jacket to use on van camping trips. Great for early chilly mornings and evening time. I ordered a slightly bigger to fit sweatshirts and such under and it's perfect! For reference, I am 5'11", 150 lbs and large was a great choice when it comes to having room for some layers.

this is a nicely made jacket - good for winter when it's cold but not too cold.

This jacket is the best, I used it in Colorado on a snow snowshoe adventure in Rocky Mountain Park in February. Kept me dry and warm against negative temps. Light weight and warm, better then bulky puffy jacket. The sizing is accurate.

Very, very nice! Love the stretchy fabric. Enough down to feel warm on a cold day in Minnesota but not bulky! The color is fantastic and the irregular non-classic down quilts look great! My daughter loves it!

Pretty comfy and warm and fits well and looks good!! It's pretty crinkly instead of soft, so if textures or noises bother you, this probably isn't a great coat for you.

I have a lightweight down that is great, but feels too fragile for anything other than sitting at camp. I wanted something more durable but just as warm and more water-resistant that I could use for skiing. Honestly I thought this was a synthetic coat, which would also solve the problem of water. Turns out it’s still down (the name should’ve tipped me off haha!), but it IS more durable! And I walked my dog in a drizzle and it held up well there too. It’s a bit heavy but that’s the trade off of durability. I’m also petite athletic at 5’2 with stronger arms and it fits to form without drowning me. I think I got the XS. Overall, I’m happy!

LOVE this jacket. The color, the fit, the stretch - and so toasty. Will be wearing this everywhere this winter!

Super warm and the hood tightens a lot which is perfect for Alaska winter. It was -10 the other day and this jacket kept me warm.

Perfect! I love the fit, the style, the warmth and the color. The jacket is well designed for moderate cold - good pockets and an adjustable hood. It will get a lot of wear. I am 5'4" tall and weigh 116. It fits well and allows for a light layer underneath.
