Light, compressible warmth - Light, warm sweater for layering or to be worn by itself. Medium was a true medium. Zips up tight at neck; draw cord at waist. Fits in small stuff sack. Great warmth to weight ratio.

The Patagonia Men's Down Sweater earns 5 stars in all categories for the follow reasons: First, it's a Patagonia product. For anyone not familiar, Patagonia is a top shelf outdoor products company. They have been around since the 70's, are wholly owned by Yvon Chouinard, and are dedicated to one thing: making the absolute best product for the intended purpose. That does not mean cheapest, or even most affordable, but it does mean highest quality. Patagonia products are expensive, but because of their active commitment to preserve our environment I happily pay the price. Now about the "sweater". This is the perfect insulating layer for the high country. It's extremely light for its warmth factor, extremely packable, and extremely comfortable in a wide temperature range. My first use of mine was on a four day trip to summit Granite Peak (at 12,799 feet the highest peak) in Montana. I wore it alone and under a shell, in temps between 35 and 50 degrees (early August) and winds from calm to 60 MPH. I was comfortable (not too hot) in this range in this jacket. It allows full freedom of movement. The quality is superb. It's a no frills, ultralight, insulating layer. It does everything the product literature promises. If you can afford, own one!

I bought this for my husband, and he loves it. According to him, the sweater is very warm and light weight without all the bulks. We received the sweater the very next day. With Zappos there\'s no need to go out to the mall no more.

Love it, and I got it quick. Ordered the Patagonia Down Sweater for myself one night around 8 pm, and I got it the next morning, with free shipping! Kudos to Zappos. I've had the sweater (more like a jacket) for a few days now in WI and have shoveled in 15F, gone to the grocery store at 2F, and tested it out walking in temps well below 20F. I'm amazed at how warm this light jacket has kept me in these conditions, with really only a regular shirt underneath. My new favorite jacket.

This is a very nice winter coat. It is extremely lightweight, yet very warm. It was a surprise Christmas gift for my hubby and he loves it!

I got this as a gift for my father-in-law. It’s the perfect gift for someone who is cold all the time. It’s light, compact, and great for layering. I’ve seen him wearing it all the time. It’s water resistant. I’m not sure if he’s worn it in the rain yet.

A few days before Christmas I realized that none of the local stores carried this jacket that my husband wanted. I went to the product's website only to find that they were sold out, as were almost all other outdoors-wear online stores. If they had the jacket, they also had an outrageous expedited shipping rate. Then I found Zappos.com - they had the exact jacket, in the right size and the right color, and with FREE overnight shipping! That sealed the deal and as promised, the jacket arrived on Christmas Eve. And as they say, the rest is history :) Oh, and the jacket is everything my husband had hoped - good quality down resulting in a very thin jacket that he wears as a layer under an exterior shell.

These jackets are great. They are very light and very warm. Not as puffy as I had feared so this will be great to layer under a shell. I love Zappos; they shipped the jackets in one day with no extra charge.

Great jacket. Light, packable and functional. However, the draw string hem needs a little work, it's a little confusing which way to draw the string. The outer material is a bit delicate. Be careful around thorns or snags. I wear mine mostly when the temperature drops under my fishing waders. Also check the Patagonia site on fit before you buy. Patagonia tends to be a bit more slender in fit intended for those wearers that actually get into the outdoors :-). If you care about what a brand stands for, get Patagonia over anything else. They give so much back to the earth. I gave away all my North Face jackets.

The Down Sweater name is deceiving, because it's really the warmest jacket I've ever owned! Patagonia clothes are top notch!

I gave this to my husband for Christmas and he has not taken it off. He wears it in the house as well as outside and sometimes puts a vest over it for extra warmth. He loves the rockwall color. It was the perfect Christmas present.

Overall, a gorgeous, lightweight down jacket. Perfect for milder winter days, or under a shell. The color description baffled us a bit, but the "alpha" green turned out to be very nice, kind of a soft olive. Normally, my son would wear a medium in a jacket; he tried it on with a medium weight sweater and buttoned down shirt, it felt a little snug in the armpits, so but he's going to go to a nearby Patagonia store and check out the large. Also, the medium was a little snug fitting around the hips.

Bought this for my husband as a Christmas present and he loves it. Packs very small but does the work of much larger jackets and has great styling. Highly recommended. Bought the black to go with almost every outfit.

I bought this Patagonia Men's Down Sweater as a Christmas gift for my dad. It is well made and of the highest quality. It packs up into it's own pouch via an inside pocket and is lightweight but excellent protection against the cold weather. I highly recommend it.

This is the most versatile jacket around. It's lightweight but incredibly warm. Works well under a jacket for outdoors. My studio is drafty so I can wear this all day without feeling bulky. I bought the men's rather than the women's jacket because I prefer the line and styling. Oh, and I can easily ball it up and shove it into my laptop bag. Pricey but worth it.

I bought this for my husband and he loves it! He says that it is super warm, super light, and fits absolutely perfect! We would recommend it to anybody. It is everything I expected, and then some.

This jacket is super light, surprisingly durable, very soft to touch and warm. It requires very little layering in sub-freezing temperatures.
