      Comments about Mountain Hardwear Downtown Coat - Men's:

      Wow. What a disappointment. This jacket seemed like it would be perfect, but has VERY little down in it. Sleeves in particular have entire 5" baffles with no down at all. My subjective guess is that this jacket has less than half the amount of down as other competitive products. The filling is supposed to be 650, but with this small an amount of down it would not matter if it were 900. No down is no down, regardless of the quality of the down (that is not there...). The result is that this this about as warm as a nice shell with a heavy cotton shirt underneath. I was actively cold at 40 degrees. You will freeze to death if you try to go into the real outdoors in the winter.Build quality is also disappointing. Elastic cord clips are placed on the wrong side of retaining clips, flap to hide hood zipper is too short to actually cover zipper. Not sure if I got a lemon or if they are all this way, but this one is definitely getting returned. I paid [$] and and would be disappointed in this jacket if I had paid $100. Honestly, I am not sure that I would want it even if it were free. This is an uncharacteristic terrible product from Mountain Hardware - I used to really like this brand.

        Comments about Mountain Hardwear Downtown Coat - Men's:

        For starters this jacket is probably not meant to be used on any intense excursions or to be put under extreme pressure. As the name says "downtown" it is like a commuter jacket that is meant to keep you warm. The Pros of this jacket is that it does live up to its name. It has been used in Chicago and to go downtown and it has kept me warm. It is nice because it doesn't have an obnoxious amount of pockets, looks refined and keeps wind out. Looks good too. The Cons are obviously if you are looking to be a pro adventurer it wont make the cut. Also it says that it is 650 down fill. It is 85% down and 15% feather. The down Mountain Hardwear is also using in this jacket is part Chinese down and part European. If the quality of down is important to you than that is also a con. All in all the jacket does its job if you are looking for a commuter jacket. I like that it has a down hood and the hand warmers. I give it a 4 because i was kinda annoyed that it wasnt fully down.

          High quality down coat, with an even distribution of the filling leaving no cold spots.
          Fits great ,light weight, and packable.
          Kept me warm and dry. Highly rcommend to anyone who needs a stylish jacket for handling the cold and wet weather.
          The outer shell is waterproof and durable,
          and not to stiff like other jacket's I've tried.

          There's a discrete single colored MH logo on the chest. Not multicolored, like the picture above.

          I'll rate this jacket higher than similar jackets from The North Face and Canada Goose.

          Highly recomended !
