Coldfront Down Hooded Jacket - Women's

Solid choice

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

Small

I love the fit on this one. It’s not too tight which lets you layer underneath it. On its own, it isn’t the warmest.

Good fit, very warm

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

Size Bought:

L

I bought this jacket for my wife, who is tall (5'11"). She was concerned about sleeve length, but the sleeves on size L are long enough to leave no gap between the sleeve end and the top of a glove. The fit on the torso can accommodate layers underneath without being too snug. The jacket is also very warm and comfortable for lower-temperature days. She's very happy with the jacket and has received compliments while wearing it.

Great warm coat

Size Bought:

XXL

I purchased this jacket for a trip and was lucky enough to get it on sale. It was 7 degrees and I had a sweater and base under it and was totally warm. I’m a 16 tops and 14w in jeans but purchased an XXL for extra room for hips and it fit perfectly with plenty of room. I love the waist cord to tighten and give it contour so you don’t look like the Michelin man.

Awesome Down Hoodie

I bought this for my wife during a friends and family sale and she has used it almost every day since. The fit is excellent all throughout the body and the extra length in the back is really nice for those extra chilly days. It packs small enough to put in a pack (though it's not tiny) and the loft always comes back quickly. Sizing from the size chart was accurate.

Great Versatile Jacket

L

I needed a warm down jacket for romping around town but to also use for short non-technical adventures on a whim. This jacket delivers exactly that. It’s as cute as a puffy down jacket can be, has an interesting color scheme to stand out, but it also functions well on quick hikes and ski tours.

Good fit, warm

Great fitting, cozy down jacket that keeps me warm in the moderate to cold Calgary winter. I really like the fit, I’m 5’9” and typically can’t use thumb holes because they cut in at my webbing from the arms being too short, the arms of this jacket are long enough that the thumb loops are comfortable! I never use the drawstring waist but its a nice feature to have.

Almost perfect

Really pleased with the warmth without the weight. Soft and quiet with movement, covers longer in back and hips. The only wish is that it have a double zip so you could zip up from bottom, but other than that it's a great jacket.

Just go for it

Love this coat overall CONS I have noticed cold drafts in the shoulders and underside of arms and the zipper part that zips into the pull part looks worn or something but I think it's just cut that way . I just hope it lasts the test of time . ADVANTAGES Otherwise I love this jacket . I had a more expensive very popular down hoodie from the "P" brand that wasn't nearly as warm and made me look frumpy . This jacket looks great and falls evenly over my 5'5 185lb frame.I am normally XL but I ordered size large because everyone says this runs large and they were right it fits me perfect as a standalone layer. The torso of this jacket is 100% superbly warm and I LOVE how high the collar comes up around my neck and keeps me toasty warm. The jacket is light and it really does look good on a fuller frame . I think outdoor research nailed this one and if you're considering other brands just get this one. I own lots of high end lightweight down jackets and this one beats out all of them for style , comfort and warmth

Excellent warm & big puffy

The biggest, warmest puffy I own. I sized up from my usual size (I got a large, instead of a medium), and it is perfect. I can wear other layers underneath, and it almost covers my butt. It is great for NW MT winters. I live in this all winter long.

Way too big!

M

Weight:

145

I wanted to love and keep this item. Unfortunately, the size was way too big. I am 5'3" and 145 lbs. I am usually a M/L to a L, so I assumed based on all of the reviews, that a M would be the right fit. The M fits like a L or even XL. I was swimming in it. I would still live to exchange for a smaller size, however the sale is over, so I would be paying double.
