Abominable Warm Man In Down Coat

I was looking for durability in a down coat. I stand around in cold temps for long periods of time. I researched the warmest thing out there, and in my price range this is what kept popping up. It’s like hanging out wearing a sleeping bag and I use it for a pillow when I finally do land in my bag. The only thing I am surprised hasn’t been invented yet is a down coat you can wear around a sleeping bag that you don’t have to worry will get an ember puncture. You basically have to wear an outer layer over your coat if you are really serious about preventing ember damage, and this coat is pretty thick! So I haven’t figured that out yet, but I have been careful! Love this coat. Been cozy up to -15F so far.

Exceptionally warm, and packed small. Purposes bought for a trip hiking glaciers in AK and it got the job done.

Surprising

Very light weight. Packing compressed it a lot and it took a couple days for it to expand out. My first time wearing it was in 30 degrees and it kept me very warm. I am 5'6" and a large was a good fit for me, especially for arm length. I am a little concerned about longevity because of how light weight it is, but time will tell on that. Material and stitching are top notch and the jacket is very comfortable to wear. I HATE the feeling of gortex and this has more of silky feel inside and out, which is perfect. For a general use winter jacket this is perfect.

Always Warm In Any Temp

This coat is so light, yet is always the perfect temperature from -5C to -35C you just feel cozy.

Comfortable But Has Now Blown Apart

All the features are fantastic, long-term durability is not - maybe thats why its called a hoodie? I am into year 4 and the material has completely blown apart, not just at the seams but literally all the material. I used this daily and worked it pretty hard here in Northern BC. Overall, pretty happy with it, just wish it lasted longer!
