What owners single out
In their words
“Have had my eye on this jacket for years and finally pulled the trigger when I saw they came out with a dark green. It's the fluffiest softest puffer jacket I've owned. It's super comfy, and high quality, it packs down small, and is super light. It is a belay jacket so it naturally fits a bit oversized. I'm normally between a M and L in most clothing so ordered both. I will say I'm pretty much in ”

“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.”
