Wow, I didn’t expect a jacket this thin and lightweight to actually be warm! But it has proved me wrong in this Chicago weather! The down is amazing and lightweight and doesn’t make me feel too hot too! I didn’t realize how good of a brand Marmot was! I see why this jacket retails for almost $300 now. It fits true to size as well! Highly recommend! eddr0_2681 · marmot.com
