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

I bought it as a layer under my shell for skiing. Works great and keeps me warm. I'm 5'9" 190 # and bought a large. I would not use for hiking as it doesn't compress down enough to put in your day pack (but that's not why I bought it). Without reservation I highly recommend this 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.

This jacket is great! I wear it by itself, and as a warm layer under my she’ll. I love how flexible it is while I’m active. The two-way zipper makes the jacket even more versatile.

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 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.

This jacket ticks many boxes for me!! I love the medium weight and fit… I can wear it with a t-shirt or several insulating layers and still not feel restricted at all! It breathes incredibly well for its weight and somehow breathes well enough for that difficult time in the morning where the temps go from well below freezing up to 50degrees in less to an an hour… I’m 5’,9” 185lbs and it fits really well! It’s a hit too heavy to use indoors or as a down sweater but the “Lite” version would be perfect for this! Also, the finish is a textured mat that you can see, feel and hear… if you’re hyper-sensitive to those things this is not the finish for you… but the DWS works really well for lite perception…

Stretchdown is my favorite product. Function is key for my clothing and MHW nailed it. Awesome outer material, durable enough to withstand a 30+ lbs. pack and super agile when using in any activity situation, including flying. This year's colors are awesome and sizing is available for everyone too, from super athletic up to the Large and Fit Club. 6' 0" 245 lbs. and the XL is perfect with a thin-med layer underneath. Favorite 33º F jacket. To MHW, don't change a thing except... give us a synthetic option, inter cuff, and charcoal lined armpits, worth paying up for little-BIG features. Thanks for the real world sizes.

this is the one I have been looking for, very lightweight and thin but very warm,

Great combination of style and function. The flex and movement you get is amazing. Lightweight with excellent insulation. Makes me wish for some colder days. Far and away the best Winter jacket that I've ever owned. I'm 5'11 and 165 and Medium fits very well.

There are some people that criticize the super ds for being a few ounces more than other down jackets, but forget them. You get a full range of motion, no cold spots, and feel like you’re wrapped in up comfortably in a blanket no matter which way you move around. The fabric feels incredibly premium and more durable than offerings from ArcTeryx or Patagonia and the matte finish is easy on the eyes. The fit is spot on with room for a sweater without being baggy and the adjustment cords are simply perfect. Mountain Hardwear didn’t cut any corners making the best down jacket I’ve ever tried and I can’t for the life of me think of any ways they could possibly improve on the design. Seriously, just try the super DS it’s an absolute no-brainer.

It seems to be well made. Zippers work well

I liked this jacket so much, I bought one for my wife. At first I thought the snug fit would be too restrictive, but the stretch fabric makes it perfect. Allows all the movement I need for skiing and other outdoor activities. It's trim enough to fit easily under my Mountain Hardware Goretex shell. Very comfortable and very warm. I love it.
