Comments about Patagonia Down Sweater - Women's:
I looooove this jacket. I bought it for myself as a birthday present to use for travel and backpacking. I wanted a jacket that was warm enough for cool fall evenings and that packed down small. I was sick of trying to carry a bulky fleece in my pack.
I am so happy with my purchase. It squishes down to the size of a grapefruit and weighs next to nothing. Plus it's warm. I use it for backpacking and when I'm traveling, I can fit it in my carry-on purse. I'll even use it as a pillow on the plane.
Warmth-wise, it's perfect for fall and spring and even colder days if you have a warm sweater and a water-proof shell to layer over it. I wouldn't wear it in the depths of winter, but I wore it on a backpacking trip where the temp got down to around the freezing mark and I was happy.
This jacket is light enough that I've been known to wear it to keep warm in my freezing house. I'll even sleep in it.
Style-wise, well, it is a little lacking. The arms look a little Michelin-man and are weirdly over-sized in the upper-arm area, but when you're layering a bunch of stuff, you end up being thankful for the extra room.

Just buy it already! This jacket is absolutely perfect. I usually wear it with just a t-shirt underneath if temps are 30+, and then layer a light wool sweater underneath if temps are below that. I have even worn it in temps down to -3 degrees and been totally comfortable. I also wear it hiking, and although I exert a lot of energy, I never seem to overheat in this jacket. It is super lightweight, and feels like you're wearing a warm cloud. The collar feels lovely when the jacket is fully zipped. It doesn't bother my chin at all, and it keeps my neck really warm. I am 5'9" 170lbs with a short torso and the large fits me well with room for a couple layers underneath. And it still has a feminine cut! The only thing that has worried me is that a few feathers have started to come out, and the jacket is only about 3 months old (although I wear it every day). Save your pennies, because this jacket is well worth the money!

I wore this backpacking in the Brooks Range in Aug ... camping in the backcountry for three weeks, including temps in the upper 20s and snow. it was great. I wear it every day now back home in NJ and it is perfect for cool to cold weather. It is super lightweight, packs small (great for backpacking) and attractive (I have it in brown and I love the color.) I have another down jacket but wear this one all the time. The sizing works well for me too; I am 5'9" and 125 lbs. and wear a small. The sleeves and length are fine for me. It washes well too. It is a true Patagonia quality item!

Used this on an 8 day backpack trip in the sierras. Jacket fits great and definitely stylish but not as warm as I would have expected. Used it over baselayer and fleece and was still cold. Upon returning it to store was told by sales staff that jacket is more for fashion statement than warmth.

I have had this jacket for over 2 years, and it looks the same as the day I bought it. I would wear it every day if it was waterproof. When I wear it, I'm never cold, but it also isn't bulky and doesn't get in the way. So light weight & scrunchy that it takes up no room in luggage and is an easy choice to pack when worried about colder weather. The day that this jacket gets ruined, I will buy another one of the same. Worth every penny.

Very light and very warm. As for sizing, I'm 5'5" 138lbs., and chest 34DD. Surprisingly, the small feels perfect, and it still has room to wear a sweater underneath.

I received this item in white for Christmas from my husband. I never would have thought to buy it for myself but am amazed by how much I love it and wear it. It's insanely comfortable and surprisingly warm. It feels comfortable even as I warm up as it seems to breathe. It's surprisingly flattering with its fitted look - I didn't expect to look cute in something so utilitarian. It's so cute that I find myself wearing it for school runs, grocery shopping and other errands where I would normally have worn my "pretty" coat. My husband bought it for me to keep at our mountain house but I can't bring myself to leave it behind since I want to wear it more often.

Comments about Patagonia Down Sweater - Women's:
I purchased the vest version of the Patagonia Down Sweater last fall and mostly wore it indoors during the winter (our house can be chilly!) and LOVED it. So, I had to get the jacket during REI's spring sale. The remarkable part about this item is that while being so very light, it has amazing warmth... I've hiked and walked the dog in temps in the low teens with just a base layer and a light fleece underneath and was toasty warm. And yet I've also worn this jacket over just a tee on cool, blustery evenings in the 50's and it's so breathable that I never overheat. I've had no problem at all with feather loss and they wash/dry beautifully. Nice feminine fitted form (as down jackets go) and pretty true to size. Highly recommended - well worth the price.

I got this jacket about couple of weeks ago and already fell in love with it. It is extremely light weight, warm and very stylish. I bought it in blue and I am getting tons complements on it. I wore it skiing last weekend that was dry and performed amazingly. I will take it on my trips with my Patagonia Nano pullover. I LOVE IT!

Comments about Patagonia Down Sweater - Women's:
I live in NorCal where the weather dips down into the 20s in the winter at night but the days rarely fall below the 40s. Being a student who rides a scooter though, it's pretty freakin' cold at 7am. This is the best piece of down outerwear I've found - it's warm, windproof, and light. I have other down jackets but they're too heavy or bulky and layering is rarely an option. With the Down Sweater, I can wear just a t-shirt or a fleece or a sweater and baselayer and ride around in comfy toastiness. It's especially great that this jacket packs so small so I can stuff it in my backpack when it's too warm. AND this is the first item I've had that packs into its own pocket that doesn't take 20 minutes and planning to get it in there! I got the white one first and will admit that I thought it was a little boxy, but it has so many comfort possibilities that I ended up buying the cherry colored one, too, just in case I needed a backup. Totally for the person who loves the warmth of down but not a heavy jacket! DO IT! :)
