Microlight Alpine Down Jacket - Men's

Weather-proof down jacket

Warm, breathable, windproof, weather-resistant, great fit, comfortable. . . what else would you want in a down jacket? The fit is true to size. The outer material is robust and has less sheen than many other down jackets, giving it a unique look. A great overall down jacket that is windproof and durable, yet breathable and comfortable.

I lost my mountain hardware ghost whisperer and wanted to get something a little more insulated, so I went with this. While there is more down, more heft, and more detailed construction, it's not significantly warmer. The stitching quality is not particularly good. I'm loosing a lot of down.

Very Disappointed

It's warm but the zipper constantly breaks and comes off track and now it's at the point where I have to bring it in to a tailor and pay money to try and fix it. I've only had it a bit more than a month and assume I can't return it. I don't think I'd buy this brand again. I took a chance but I've had many Patagonia's over the years and never had an issue like this. I'm going back to Patagonia.

Kept me warm

Tested it out in high winds on a climb of Mount Rainier - Initial impressions: it held up great and even without a hardshell over it, I did not feel the wind. As our team slowed the pace with increasing slope, I put on a hardshell over it. With layers of a baselayer, a softshell hoodie, this down, and a hardshell I stayed comfortable even in 70 mph winds and single digit temps. I appreciate the light weight and packability. I used the stuff sack filled with other clothes as a pillow at camp.

Perfect jacket

I bought one for myself and one for my brother. Perfect weight, warmth and windproof. I did a lot of shopping; most are way too thin, or not windproof. This isn’t a “puffy” coat either - nice and lightweight. Great colors and quality feel. I love this jacket. Backcountry is great too. They don't sell what they don't have, and fast shipping.

I'm not sure why I purchased a second one of these after my first one from 2018 had the zipper break twice but I did. This new one is worse. The down is very unevenly distributed and the new model is not fitted. It's like wearing a bag. On the one plus side I would say that the hood is really nice.

Its a good jacket I like the fit and it keeps me warm for the most part but too expensive for the quality. The problem I had is the feathers leaking out the seams. I wore a black t shirt under it one day and my shirt was covered in feathers.

Excellent jacket - zipper needs revision

Highly recommend. 188cm and have freakishly long arms xl fits perfect love the 3rd pocket for stuffing jacket when not in use. The main zipper is 2 way but needs to be beefier will pop at most inopportune times. Towning a definite yes for price, cragging get a more bomb proof zipper. Otherwise warm and dry puffy that looks and wears great.

I really like this coat, since it is super lightweight and warm. However.the zipper is not constructed well and does not align on the track. I've only had this jacket a few weeks and have run into this problem. If someone from the company cab reach out to help with this matter thatd be great.
