Cotopaxi  Pacaya 2.0 Insulated Hooded Jacket - Women's

I bought this to replace a 10 year old Patagonia that I loved beyond measure and did not want to give up. This jacket got me over my clothing-induced melancholy almost instantly. It is impossibly light, soft, and fluffy feeling, and produces the nicest little cloud of warmth between your body and its lining. I have not worn it in temps much below freezing, but it has kept me cozy so far. There are definitely room for layers, I think. I picked an xl, generally wear a 12 or 14 in jackets, and there is plenty of room for a bulky sweater underneath. I bought this during the holiday sale for 30% off, which was such an unexpected treat, but would pay full price in a heartbeat. It’s a fantastic everyday jacket.

I bought this jacket about two month or more ago. Done a few winter hikes and worn out and about casually. Warm, but if you're not moving or good at producing your own body heat and windy...its not full proof. When hiking i shed this layer and primarily use it for resting to fend off the cold. Below it use a thermal base layer and that's it. Super packable and light weight, that part is great. I'll note that I'm a cold person naturally, I wear light weight long sleeves even in the summer time. I just don't produce a ton of body heat. So far this has been a good purchase, I was super hesitant at first but it's grown on me. I have taken it with me on every hike since and plan to continue to do so.

I loved this little jacket! It is such a perfect soft material, blue color, and the way it is made. If it fit me, I'd "live" in it. So many useful details like good hood, pockets and underarm ventilation areas (genius!). But I'm super bummer to have to return. It runs true to size but it was tight in my shoulders and too short on my longer torso (I'm also 6'1). Sleeves were good length though. For a reference, I have a slim frame with wider shoulders, small waist, pear shape, longer than normal torso. The jacket didn't flatter my shape and the length looked weird/half cropped.

It fits perfectly. The color is gorgeous. Can’t wait to buy more things.

I have not yet worn it. I live in the North East and gets cold here by November. I think with a layer under this it will hopefully be warm enough to get me through till mid October. In the winter with a light fleece or smart wool under it will make a good mid layer. I sized up to a medium so I could layer under it comfortably

This jacket is great! I purchased my first Cotopaxi jacket (Fuego) in December as a Christmas gift for myself, and I’m so glad I purchased this one too (as a Mother’s Day gift to myself?) The Pacaya is luxuriously soft, and I really love that it’s in solid colors - I’m not a fan of the colorful stripes. I chose the Iceberg (my favorite color of the 4 available), and I couldn’t believe that color was on sale for half price and available in my size! I’m very happy and glad that I now have 2 Cotopaxi jackets that I love. Some reviewers say the Pacaya keeps them dry in the rain, but because there is down in the lining (read the label), I would try to protect it by wearing a rain jacket over it in rain, as with any down jacket. Thank you Cotopaxi!

Just not warm. Would be fine in early fall but who needs down then (in NY). Even with a fleece under I was chilly in high 40s weather

My husband has no use for hooded jackets so when I noticed the Pacaya 2. 0 insulated jacket - I ordered one for him and one for me. I have since ordered a second one for each of us because good jackets are hard to find. This one is light weight and warm. It slips on easily and looks nice for any occasion. It’s packable, wearable, and a perfect over or under layer. Turns out that I’ve found that I too am a fan of a jacket without a hood! It is the perfect jacket.

I was debating between this jacket and it’s Patagonia nano puff counterpart. I ended up going with the Patagonia, mostly because of the lesser price tag, but I was not impressed. I returned it and bought the Cotopaxi Pacaya 2. 0. BEST decision ever. This coat is seriously incredible. Lightweight, flexible, comfortable, breathable under the arms with the perfect amount of warmth for changing weather, or as a mid layer. If you’re debating, BUY IT!

I bought this jacket specifically for a 10 day hiking trip. I read the insulation was unique because it can release sweat to cool while moving but also keep you warm. I think the weight of the jacket is fine and the thermoregulation is good. However, I find it to be low quality. The threads along the arm inseams frayed after 2 wears (not washes. ). It is very expensive for the quality. I find many of my other jackets to be much more durable.
