What owners single out
Quality issues with down feather leakage align with durability being the weakest aspect among buyers.
In their words
“Love the jacket! Warm, comfortable, beautiful and functional! The pockets are perfectly placed, the green color is just right:) I feel like I’m receiving a warm hug every time I’m wearing it. It runs true to size.”
Mindy · verified purchase · patagonia.com
“I also noticed a few weeks of wearing it that the feathers are coming out everywhere! Please do your research! It’s not worth $400. It looks and feels good but it must have a defective material in it/- I’m thinking the outer “recycled” covering isn’t good.”
