Comments about Cordillera Cascade 800 Down Jacket - Men's - Special Buy:
The jacket fits well and is definitely warm, but I am a bit disappointed in the build quality. When it arrived the branding labels were already peeling off the jacket. I wore it once on a trip to snowy Montreal where it proved its warmth, but after a day of wear feathers were poking through the material and leaking out where my backpack straps were. I am probably going to return this and try the Zeus, same fill and less expensive and it has gotten some great reviews.

Comments about Cordillera Cascade 800 Down Jacket - Men's - Special Buy:
Very comfortable, and medium-warm; not a parka, but a great jacket.
EXCEPT: The zipper has eensy-weensy teeth, and won't zip into an outer shell. The zipper also tends to snag and tear the exterior fabric. (I've had mine repaired twice already.)
It also has a rather nasty tendency to leak down.
For occasional, light use, it's great, and looks great. But extreme care is needed to avoid tearing it. This is NOT a bush-whacking, cross-country jacket; it's an about-town jacket.

Comments about Cordillera Cascade 800 Down Jacket - Men's - Special Buy:
I've been wanting a down jacket for a long time, but refused to pay $200. I got a killer deal on this jacket and haven't been disapointed, but I've only worn it 2-3 times. I'm 170 lbs and normally wear a large but I got a medium because I wanted a snug fit. I thought the sleeves were too narrow at first, but I'm starting to think they're the right size. I think I would have been swimming in a large. Down jackets are sweet; they're as warm as everyone told me. I do find myself thinking about snagging it as I walk down the street though, which isn't ideal.

Comments about Cordillera Cascade 800 Down Jacket - Men's - Special Buy:
I used the jacket during a trip to China in January as an outer garment in areas where the weather was cool (i.e. freezing), and as a layer when I was at the Great Wall where it was quite cold and windy. I found the jacket very comfortable to wear. The overall fit was good (The jacket was a medium size; I'm 5'10", and I weigh 150 lbs.) It was also a good selection for traveling due to its compressibility and easy packing into a suitcase. My one complaint about the jacket are the cuffs; I have fairly large hands and while the cuffs feel comfortable on the wrist, the only way I can get my hands out of the sleeves is to pull the sleeves inside-out over my hands.
