This is probably my favorite down jacket out of the half-dozen or so I’ve accumulated in the last decade of buying and testing gear. My only complain is that it’s almost too warm for everything other than the chilliest shoulder-season camping in the Northern Rockies, but it’s weight means I’m tempted to bring it along on summer trips just because it’s so comfortable and fits me so well.
