Stio  Colter Windstopper Down Jacket - Men's

The styling is really nice, but the fabric is not breathable, at all. It’s warm, but too warm. The first time I wore it it was 10° outside and I took my dog for a walk and came back and was completely soaked in sweat underneath with only a light thermal top on. The other thing I haven’t been able to figure out is I understand that the hood has two drawstrings, but there is no device to keep those drawstrings in place. When I have to pull the hood tight, it’s fine for a while but then, without a fastener, the strings, just work themselves loose, and I have to continue to adjust it.

The fit is good, not too roomy. It looks good and keeps me warm. But I have to say, the front pockets are really frustrating. They are almost too small to fit your phone in, let alone your hands. They are also positioned so low on the jacket that you can't comfortably walk with your hands in your pockets. . . or access what's in them, which makes me want to return it. Never experienced this before on any jacket. I had to look at other jackets to realize what was wrong. The standard is a bigger opening so you can access the pockets from a natural angle without having to pull up the jacket to insert your hand in from the side. Unfortunately it wasn't something I realized until I started using the jacket. Love stio but low hanging fruit like this hurts

This coat is not very puffy compared to other down parkas I have owned. Hopefully the wind stopper shell will keep it warmer than it looks. Since spring weather is here now in Montana I won’t be able to see how warm it is till next winter. Also I think Stio should use a higher fill power down than 650 fill for a winter coat. I don’t know if I would recommend this coat until I use it in real winter cold temperatures and see how it performs.

Overall, this is a great winter jacket that can be used for winter sports or just hanging out in cold weather, especially when it's windy. It has a nice windproof shell that helps to hold in body heat and keep the chill factor out, and the shell also has some water repellency. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because they could have used 800 fill down (instead of 600), and made it even that much warmer.

Great looking jacket that’s lacking functionality. It’s pretty warm but not what I would expect from a jacket this bulky. I consistently get cold skiing with my young son on days under 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The main zipper and pit zips almost feel breezy when closed, and the collar needs more micro-fleece for your chin to really step this jacket up. It would also benefit from a pass pocket and some dummy pockets.

The Stio, men's Colter Windstopper is the most warm jacket I have ever worn. It is very comfortable and functional. I layered the jacket with a hoodie underneath. It allowed me great maneuverability while skiing in Park City Utah. It is also wind resistant. It fits true to size and pockets are good. I would highly recommend!

This is the perfect jacket for making breakfast at the tailgate or after a hard day on the mountain. Also perfect for the really cold days riding. Pit zips are ideal.

This jacket is a good and I like the burnt orange. The jacket provide plenty of warmth and cuts the wind.

Excellent coat if you want to stay warm and dry in any conditions! Stops wind and rain.
