Cotopaxi  Fuego Hooded Down Jacket - Women's

This is my go-to outer layer to wear in the fall and I’ve had it for 2-3 years now. It has accompanied me to the redwood forests multiple times, the snow slopes in Chamonix, and on chilly neighborhood walk days. I love how light and packable this jacket is, so easy to throw into a backpack to have just in case. I also have had Patagonia down jackets, mountain hardware, marmot and Uniqlo’s ultra light down. All great, but I still find myself gravitating towards this Cotopaxi one due to it being my favorite color and also the hood actually covering your head and face. I was able to pick up matching gloves last winter and they are also SO CUTE! Love this brand and considering one day getting the fuego vest as well.

This review is for REI. My package was delivered to the wrong address. I had to drive around my neighborhood to find it. When I opened the package, the red security tag was still on the jacket. I returned it. Bad vibes. The jacket itself is just okay. I don’t really like the new cut of the fuego.

I loved it. I wore it on a windy, very cold day and the jacket kept me very warm. Love the colors. Got complements too.

I’m always cold. Just how my body temp is set. Therefore, I have been living in my Cotopaxi vest, and when I was visiting my children recently in California, where it got cool in the evenings, they pulled out their Cotopaxi jackets. Wishing my vest had sleeves. , I decided to order a jacket. I returned to New England where the temperature was 34° and have been wearing the jacket and staying warm every day since. The color palette is also wonderful. And perhaps the thing I like the most is that to travel with it couldn’t be easier because it can be stuffed into its own little pouch! I have found a lifetime keeper. Thank you.

I bought this in Oct and it’s now Jan. The other day while shoveling I realized the front somehow ripped and feathers were coming out. Really strange since I don’t remember doing anything to cause it- makes me wonder if the material really is that fragile? The other thing is that it is not as warm as you might expect in a similar medium down coat. It’s ok. But on windy days or single digits it’s just not enough. Personally I like the fit- I am a solid XL and I always have trouble with arms being too tight. This is not a problem in this coat. I can see how different body frames might find it fits big or boxy, but in my case it works well. I find Patagonia XL runs extremely small if that context helps. I do get compliments on it all the time! (I got the green)

I have both the down nano hooded Patagonia and the Fuego down hooded jacket. The fuego outperforms in the cold. More importantly, there is more down protection on the top of your hands when in pockets for more warmth. Jacket is light weight enough but also warms down to around 40. Very well made and my new favorite jackset

Finally found a down that keeps me warm on a very cold, rainy and windy season. Lightweight and packable. Hood fits right on my head. Color appears nice . It can be matched with any outfit I wear. I am petite, 5' , 110 lbs XS fits perfect. Can't go wrong with this down jacket. Super comfortable!

I bought this jacket for my big bend trip coming up soon & thought I would test it with all of my son’s soccer games. I’m super happy with how warm I am, but also how light weight the jacket is. I’m a true Large in tops, I love that I can layer a fleece under if I wanted.

I bought this puffer to be my go to puffer for the season and took it for a spin in Zion this week and it kept me warm the whole time!

I purchased this right before my area hosted a pretty significant snow storm. This jacket keeps me warm enough to wait for my Doggo to finish his business. I do also wear a beanie and sweater or hoodie layers, I don’t think it would be adequate alone for freezing temps. I am 5’1”, with a 44” chest circumference, so I got the XL. The body fits well without restricting my chest or arms, but the arms are two baffles too long. I’ve been rolling them under, I may put some stitches in the sleeves to shorten them. The jacket doesn’t feel bulky when driving.
