Ultralight, Moderately Warm, Poor Quality Zippers

Warm and ultralight, but beware: one reason it's ultralight is because the zippers are ultralight garbage. Expect the zippers to last 1-3 years before failing. Our jacket lasted just shy of three years before the zipper exploded catastrophically.

So Light But Warm

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 5’4” and 155 and I was worried the small would be too tight, but it’s the perfect fit. I can’t believe how light the jacket is, but felt the warmth right away. The material is super thin, so I’m going to try my best to be careful with it.

Not Worth The Price

Bought this 8 months ago and have tried it out in every condition possible. Pros are that it is ultralight and very warm especially when layered under a wind resistant shell. Cons are that the outer material is so light is doesn't stand up to any wear and tear. It immediately started losing feathers and then after one careful wash (hand wash cycle, tumble dry), the feathers leaked like crazy. It is definitely not worth the price point.

Runs Large Compared To G.w.2- Sheer

Measurements:5'6; 160lbs; M/8-10 top with B cup; L/10-12 bottoms Comparing the GW2 in Mojave Tan to UL in Golden Hour The UL: -lighter (duh) -runs big compared to the GW2 -sheer, it looks splotchy/dirty -hood fits looser than the GW2 -no draw cords -better elastic at the cuffs compared to GW2 -SLIGHTLY brighter gold than Mojave Tan, beautiful color when the dark feathers aren't smudging it up *based on color alone, I would choose the UL. Mojave Tan has some pretty strong army brown vibes GW2 -fits me better (even with fleece and base layers underneath) -sturdier, I am less afraid of brushing against a branch -draw cord around hips -Tighter fit hood (just around the face, the actual room within the hood seems the same) -Muted gold, pulls a little green Overall, I am going with the GW2. The fit is nicer, I am more worried about snags and holes than I am about saving a couple of ounces, and I miss the draw cord in the UL. It makes me sad though- that Golden Hour is so gorgeous! I would recommend this to only the ounce obsessed- it is a good jacket but not a HUGE upgrade form the GW2 to need the latest iteration.

Meh

I felt so excited about a 1000 fill jacket. I made the switch from am 850 fill in another major brand but the warmth seems comparable so far. It immediately started losing feathers. I think that is pretty normal for down but it definitely feels fragile. Like I ALWAYS wear a jacket over the top to protect it and am careful not to haphazardly throw it in my pack or my car. It runs a little big. It is a fine jacket but nothing to write home about.
