I ordered the coat in black size xl. I'm 6 ft 3in 215lbs long arms with medium frame size and this coat fits surprisingly really nice. I have trouble finding coats that fit correctly. 2xl arm lengths are usually correct but coats are bit big on me. I was impressed with fit, coat quality is really good, the weight is light without appearing fragile and the stuff sack works just fine. Overall, 59 bucks is a great deal! Very happy, wife is ordering one. I needed a light weight, but warm enough coat for hiking in general, but part of my layering system for climbing mount adams in Washington state. I believe this fits the bill just fine. I highly recommend Read more
I have an Eddie Bauer down jacket that I was replacing. At the tail end of winter it’s hard to find things in my size or desired color. I found this jacket which was perfect in size. This type of jacket is very lightweight but provides a lot of insulation. It has two zippered outer pockets and an inside zippered chest pocket. I went outside today which was in the low 20s Fahrenheit. There was a decent wind outside, too. It kept me warm and free from the wind. It’s very comfortable and my choice of jackets for the high forties down to the low teens. The zipper works perfectly. It is accompanied by a small carry bag for easy transport. The hood is comfortable but it doesn’t have a tie down. For the money, it’s an excellent jacket with nice functionality and comfort. I’d definitely get it again. Update I wore it in Boulder, Colorado, in 22 degree temperature. It was very comfortable. In Roanoke, VA we had heavy winds at 32 degrees, and I was still very comfortable. The inside chest pocket comes in handy. Having the accompanying drawstring bag came in handy when traveling, whether it was to store my jacket, store snacks or transiently store my Tablet. The zippers are holding up well. Read more

Cons -> Slightly Snug Fit – If you plan on layering sweaters underneath. Read more
The media could not be loaded. This is the first Amazon branded coat I ever bought and I’m thoroughly impressed. It was only $60 and so far has been just as warm or warmer than more expensive puffy coats I’ve owned from Cabelas and LL Bean. It also fits way better than a Patagonia puffy coat I have as that one uses a tighter fitting style. Unless you are a pinner little guy, the Patagonia coats will likely be too tight to be comfortable. I love the zipper pockets and the chest pocket that actually keeps your phone from freezing. It has no logos so you don’t stand out wearing some kind of weird brand no one has ever heard of and then have your buddies rip on you for wearing white dragon or some other bazaar Chinese name. The hood fits nice, the coat is light and comfortable, it’s warm, beads water while new, it’s a great coat for $60. Puffy coats are generally way overpriced. Read more
Not only is this a perfect fit but it has thoughtful pockets in places others I have spent over twice the amount for did not. You will not be disappointed! Read more

This jacket is very light, warm and it compresses well for packing. That much is obvious from the description and the reviews. It can be very hard to determine how a "water resistant" jacket will hold up in rain based on just the reviews. Will you be fine in a light quick drizzle? How about a long downpour? To test it properly, it's off to the shower. Here's my results: The fabric resists water well. It mostly beads up at first but will spread out after a longer time. The fabric still did not let the water through. The hood was the same and also did quite well. I would guess after hours of heavy rain there would be some penetration at the seams but under normal use it should suffice. The only caveat is the front and pocket zippers. The zipper area is not at all water resistant and if you get a lot of rain you will have water seeping through in that area. Whatever you are wearing will have a stripe down the middle from the water getting in the front zipper area. In conclusion-If you are traveling, skiing or just walking around outside you should be fine. If you plan on taking it camping in the rain, you might want something waterproof. Read more
Good build quality for the price. It's warmer and less tight fitting than my synthetic Patagonia nanopuff. Only downside is IT SMELLS TERRIBLE. Idk what kind of waterproofing they used on this jacket but it's awful. I even aired it out for a week and it still bothers me. Maybe you won't notice if you're just wearing this on your commute to work, but If you're gonna be living in this thing 24/7 backpacking, I'd consider something else. Edit: I let it sit in the sun all day for 4 days and nights and that finally eliminated the odor. Some serious forever chemicals in this thing. It has been a warm and comfortable jacket though. Doesn't bind in the armpit like many other puffy jackets do. Read more
