I have only had this product a few weeks, but really enjoy it. Keeps me warmer than my down waist-length jackets. Very comfortable. Be careful on sizing. I normally wear a large in Patagonia products. But the large was a little too long for me and, more importantly, was a little too open on the bottom, potentially letting cold air in. The jacket does not have a waist cinch. Although the jacket is slightly snug at my hips, it is comfortable to walk in and I use the two-way front zipper to loosen it a bit to sit or squat. Pockets are cozy and the wrist cuffs do a great job keeping out the cold. For a water- and wind-proof, parka designed for cold weather, the jacket is quite lightweight. 
I am six one and 210 lb., size large fit well. Tested it in low 30-s, windy weather with just a merino base layer during walk in town. Kept warm without overheating. There is enough room for mid layer to accommodate lower temperatures. It is stylish (for a puff jacket), you do not look like the Michelin man wearing it. The jacket being durable water repellent (DWR) “only” is not an issue for me. My wife has the women’s version of the parka, and it handles light rain well enough. For anything more serious there is a Gore-Tex ski jacket.
I just purchased the Jackson Glacier Parka yesterday. I was really eager to see how it would perform. The temperature was 28 degrees Fahrenheit with 20mph winds. It felt like 9 degrees. Well much to my surprise. This parka outperformed my expectations. The crazy thing is…I only had on a short sleeve Polo shirt. Honestly, the only thing that I felt was a little tiny coolness from my bare skin of my arms touching the actual lining of the parka. It was minimal though. Although I have 1 year to return the parka outperformed I think that I’m going to keep it. Especially getting it for 50% off the original price. This makes it a steal for what it can do. Plus I’m thinking about the great warranty from Patagonia. Amazing deal!!!!
Needed something warm and waterproof to battle Midwest winters. This coat has been nothing short of phenomenal. Ultra light weight and freaking warm. It’s expensive but high quality. 5 out of 5 for Patagonia!
The jacket is warm and stylish. I wear it everyday on walks outside in the winter (northeast) and always stay warm with only t-shirts underneath. it also fetches the occasional compliment :)
