Obermeyer

Sojourner Down Jacket

Women's

I tried on at least 15 jackets (North face, Patagonia, Eddie Bauer, Marmot, Canada Goose) and this jacket is the winner! This why I like it: (1) it's really warm, (2) the material in gray is soft and pliable and does not make noise when you move (the material of this coat in black is different. I liked the feel of the gray better.) (3) it has a depth adjustor for the hood so you can wear the hood an see where you are walking (4) it has soft felt inside the neckline so no chaffing your chin lik the NF parkas. (5) you can cinch the wastline inside the jacket so you do not look like you are wearing a sleeping bag. (6) it has a nice shape and the fur on the hood is very pretty. I literally tried close to every coat on the market in the $200-400 range and even a Canada Goose and I am thrilled with this jacket. Thank you Zappos!!

I've been searching for a warm winter parka for months now. One that will keep me warm and doesn't break the bank! It almost seemed like an impossible task! I've tested other expensive brands and TNF arctic parka II & Outer borough parka and was not impressed. They are so stiff and hard to move around in it. So glad to stumble upon the soujourner. I seriously couldn't be happier. This jacket is very well-made with all the little details carefully thought of!! Here are why I like this jacket: - Warm without feeling bulky and heavy. I've tried other parka that was really warm but it weighed like 4 lbs!!!! good grief!! I'm not sure the weight of this, but it's not heavy but feels substantial! I tested it on a 14 degree MN winter with just wearing a thin long sleeve inside and I was warm wherever covered by the coat. Not sure about the subzero temp, but looking at the quality, I think it will keep me warm too. - The shell is actually soft and easy to move around in this jacket compared to other brands I've tried that is so stiff. It's also water and wind-resistant. The shell has a bit of shine to it, but not overly done. I was worried about it after reading another reviewer mentioned that, but it actually looks ok. The heather grey color may not have that shine if it really bothers you! I really don't mind it as it doesn't really overwhelm the overall look when I put the jacket on. - Easy zip detachable hood and detachable faux fur. Other jackets I've tried will show the snap buttons after you detach the faux fur, but not this. The buttons will not be showing if you detach the faux fur. Minor details that they thought of! Well done! The faux fur is actually attractive without being so oversized - So many pockets! Two-button pockets to store any essentials (one pocket comes with key hanger too!)and two hand-warmer pockets with zips. One inside pocket and goggle pocket! - A two-way zipper is a must for me for a jacket this length. The YKK zipper is easy to work with and smooth. The storm-flap has snap buttons that are strategically placed so I don't have to button so many buttons yet I'm covered (again, another well-thought detail) - Adjustable waist. I love having this feature. I can cinch it so the jacket feels close to me and feel warmer. The jacket doesn't flare out after cinching. At least not in my case. - Fit. It has a flattering fit and drape nicely for me. I'm 5'3" 107# and ordered size 2 regular and it fits perfectly with some room for layering if I want to. The jacket comes down to mid-thigh with slightly longer back and doesn't make me look like I'm drowned in it. - Color: I got the wine-not (because it's on sale :) ) and it's a really nice dark maroon color. Not loud while still pretty neutral and not boring like typical black, and easy to go with other colors. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the quality and craftsmanship of this jacket. Very well made indeed! I've always felt like I had no choice but to go with TNF for winter coats, this is my first Obermeyer and I'm impressed and will certainly be purchasing more in the future from this brand!

This is an amazing coat that feels good, is warm, and is stylish. My friend saw it and immediately wanted one for herself. The only thing "wrong" is that the sizing runs VERY SMALL. I had to send the 12 back for a 14, and I have never worn a 14 in anything in my life (and I'm 65). And the 14 is not big on me. Zappos was amazing in getting the first coat to me in one day (with Prime shipping) and sending the exchange before my first coat was received by them. Within less than 48 hours of my first order, I had my second coat! Thanks!

I love it, i got a 6 and i am 5’5 135 with fairly large hips (I’m a mom of 3)

This coat is beautiful. I returned it as it was a little snug, not leaving room for a warmer, winter shirt underneath. I'm 5'5", 135 pounds, and ordered a size 8. I'm not sure if I'll order the next size as I would like to find one that isn't quite as long.
