I really love this down sweater. It's so warm I can use it with only a t-shirt, and the weight is so light.

I bought this down sweater for my wife for her birthday. She absolutely loves it! Before this, she would wear multiple layers of bulky sweaters, fleece vests, etc. that ultimately made her look, well, bulky. Now she looks smart and raves about how light and warm her sweater is. We both work at a ski resort and know numerous people who wear this as a light ski parka on warmer days, although I'm not certain it's really durable enough for that purpose; it doesn't seem like it would take much to rip the light fabric. All in all, a great product!

I had been looking for a jacket just like this for 2 years. My husband surprised me by ordering it for me for Christmas. It is PERFECT! Very comfortable, lightweight & warm enough even for Alaskan winters.

Patagonia makes my favorite of several brands of 800 down jackets I own. It has a nice fit - thankfully not puffy or bulky. I'm always cold, and 800 down provides lots of warmth (at least for the SF Bay Area - I can't attest to snowy climates). I own both red and purple two of this style. They're really nice colors, too, and a great change from the usual black.

Warm, comfortable, & worth every penny. Doesn’t make you feel like a giant marshmallow when you wear it & it is so lightweight that you almost forget you are wearing an extremely warm jacket (except for noticing that you are not cold AT ALL!). And it’s machine washable, so how can you beat that?

Wonderfully warm and lightweight jacket. The bitter chocolate color is almost more merlot colored -- not what I expected.

love it! keeps me warm, not hot. Can wear over a tank top inside the house without feeling hot or heavy and outside without getting cold.

I love the Patagonia Down Sweater. It is so lightweight, but very warm and wind resistant, too. It has a great fit.

Very light weight and super soft and comfortable. I have a different "long" more winter-ish down coat, and I wanted something that would work into spring. This is that coat. After much deliberation I chose the white (who am I kidding? I about busted a brain cell trying to pick a color!) because I felt like it would go with everything--especially my jeans and scarf. The white is nice, but it is a little weird because you can see the feathers under it. I have decided I can live with that. The jacket is so soft and comfy! And not as short as I feared it would be. Overall, a super good jacket. Go for it!

This Patagonia down sweater is FABULOUS--comfy, warm, great in cold weather for all kinds of uses. I plan to buy another when they come out with a color that suits me,

The *perfect* down jacket. Incredibly light, yet surprisingly very very very warm! The fit is beautiful. It has a slim, feminine cut, without making you look like the stay-puffed marshmallow man. I got a size small-- I think the extra small would have been too short in the sleeves, and the small seems to fit great without being bulky. The color is gorgeous! Even though it is called "bitter chocolate," it's not actually brown, more like a really dark maroon color. I decided to purchase this jacket from Zappos because the retail stores and the Patagonia website were sold out of the color I wanted. Go Zappos!

I bought this jacket because I have a long Patagonia down coat for winter, which I absolutely love. The down sweater is the perfect weight for cool early spring weather. It\'s very light weight and comfortable. It also squishes down to a very compact size, so it\'s great for packing. I haven\'t washed it yet, but the down coat washed well, so I have no doubt that this will too. My only complaint is that the jacket is a tad short for my taste. Most of my sweaters and shirts stick out about and inch or 2 below the bottom of the jacket. Other than that, it\'s perfect!

I bought this for my mom, who admired mine and had to have one. This is a fantastic jacket...perfect for travel. It folds up into its own pocket, looks elegant enough to wear out in the evening, and is just a great all around piece. It fits true to size. I'm a 6-8 and wear a medium. My mom is a 14 and is in an XL.

This jacket is well worth the money. I've worn it almost every day for the last six months. It's lightweight and toasty warm, good in a wide range of temperatures. The fit is flattering. Ample sleeves are nonbinding. I'm usually a medium or large; this medium fits just right. It layers great. For barn chores I usually wear a Carhartt over it. I've laundered it several times. The lighter color can be a bit hard to keep clean--something to consider if you're around horses. Zappos customer service is THE BEST.

This sweater jacket is fantastic! Super lightweight, yet warm and cozy. The perfect shoulder-season layer. I've received many compliments. Slim fitting, not bulky like most down jackets.

There are a couple of striking features that make this jacket stand out from other down jackets. First, it is incredibly lightweight and packable, making it great for travel or outdoor pursuits. \r\nAlso, it is less bulky than any other down jacket that I\'ve looked at. \r\nThe way that it is quilted is less puffy, allowing for slightly more femine tailoring than your typical down puffy coat and making it easy to\r\nPayer if needed. All in all, one of the best down jackets for women.

Amazing jacket. Very light and super warm. I have been wearing mine since it arrive yesterday (next day shipping, thank You Zappos!) Since the jacket is a regular cut for Patagonia, this allows for mid-weight layering. I ordered a smaller size, knowing I will not layer to the extent that Patagonia allows on the regular-cut. If you use mid-layers, get your regular size, if you like a little slimmer fit, go a size smaller. The girl in the photo could go down a size and still have room for light layering. This is by far my favorite article of clothing (ever).

Light, packable and warm. I had to replace to small with a medium because I found after I'd piled on the layers I need for winter hiking, I needed more room. It would be good if Patagonia and other makes of such a coat would take that into consideration and make it roomier. But keeping it true to size does allow it to be used without so much underneath.
