Transcendent Down Hooded Jacket - Women's

Would not recommend.

I bought this jacket for a hiking trip to Patagonia in November. I was very excited to try it out as I have a few down jackets but wanted to splurge and buy a nice new one for my trip, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. I would rate it 2.5/5. I also wear it on walks in the early morning in Southern California in ~50* and it does not keep me warm unless I wear a fleece under it. i have other down jackets that keep me warm without additional layers in the same weather. Pros: - the jacket material is buttery and feels really nice - the lined pockets were nice -lightweight and packs up very small Cons: - very thin, this did not keep me warm at all (wore it while hiking or hanging out at the campsite at night mid 40s - mid 50s with some mild wind at times). I had to wear either a wind breaker over it or a fleece under it. - already some fray along the zipper. Nothing bad but I only have worn it for 2 weeks. - has a boxy/ baggy fit that i don’t prefer. I am 5’3, 115lbs and I bought a small. A fleece fit underneath comfortably but there was still a ton of room. The small was very long on me.

Great jacket! Extremely light weight and packable.

LOVE the feel and fit!

My husband bought this jacket for me, and I absolutely love how light it feels to wear! I like how it isn't overly puffy in that I look more like Hawaiian rolls and less like a swollen Michelin Man. It feels as though you are wearing a fashionably less dense goose down comforter and while it's great for wearing outdoors for walks in the crisp cool fall, it's also great to nap at home in. Added bonus with the partially lined pockets - they're perfect for me and my low circulation fingers.
