Comfy, warm, excellent fit
I love my new Jacket! Is so comfortable, warm and fits perfectly. We went to Zermatt Switzerland last week where the temperature on the Matterhorn was 7 degrees Fahrenheit and my jacket was a truly champion! (I wear it with a base layer and a top hard shell) and it keeps me warm and comfortable. Love it!
Definite Yes!
I bought this jacket in Creek Blue size large. Like other customers, I have an hour glass shape and it really tough to find a down hoodie that will fit nicely over my hips - they're not huge, I wear a size 10 pants, but still have trouble with a hoodie that fits me. I bought a large which I would say is a bit roomy, but I am glad for the room for base layer and fleece top if need be. The zipper is solid -would have been better to be 2-way - but at least it's a good solid item. Great puffiness and warmth - so cosy. I love the pockets and it is super light weight and packs down to nothing. I tried about 6 other brands and this is the best for me by far.
Excellent
I used the down jacket to climb the tallest peak in Mexico and it did its job. It was very light and compact and great for the wind.
It Fits!!
I am a 5’10” female who after 60 years resigned myself to having to buy mens mediums to get coats to fit. I hated the mens cut and length but there were no alternatives… until now. I actually started by buying a BD mens medium, and while it fit it was still a mens style. On a whim (and a sale) I bought an XL womens hoody and it fit perfectly! I now have an XL womens raincoat and now winter coat. They fit perfect length, sleeve length, and shoulder and I finally look like a reasonable 5’10” female vs a bulky hockey player. Thx BD for working on good fitting clothes.
The best fit
Sometimes is challeging for me to find a jacket with a good fit for my wife, but it is not the case with black diamond, this is the 3rd jacket we buy and every time we get the best of the best.
Perfect puffy
Yep, I'll be wearing this one a lot. It's a fun bright color, and instantly warm when I put it on. Planning to use this for the Tahoe winters and for cool climbing and camping days.
Perfect quality so far
Sizing guide was right on - I would fit into a medium, bought I'm glad I bought a large to put other layers underneath. All mechanics seem great quality.
I searched forever for the
I searched forever for the perfect hoody and I am happy with this one. My only complaint is they don’t offer it in XXS so it’s a tad big.
Love
Perfect weight. Very cozy. Hood is very big so a little odd without a helmet but otherwise great.

Bought for my daughter who is using it to layer for winter snow bike races- she loves it!
