Mountain Hardwear  Stretchdown Jacket - Women's

The perfect jacket- I’m petite, 5’1” 110 lbs and this jacket fits me perfectly (xs) and the quality is top notch. I’ve gotten many compliments on the color…So impressed with the fit and quality, I ordered the hooded version.

One and a half Winters in and I'm learning alot about this jacket. The advertised mobility is top notch. The textured fabric doesn't swish too noisily when I walk. The 700 fill down was the critical reason why I purchased this very lightweight jacket. Last winter was mild, this winter though, things aren't working out. I was good until temps dropped below 30 deg F. When the wind picks up, unfortunately, I feel it. Brrr...Seems the down fill is inconsistent. The shoulder areas are lacking the most. The lower sleeves are much puffier and insulating. Also, the single interior pocket is the only pocket that fits my bigger mobile phone. But having it there reduces my mobility, as it sits right at my waist. Bending forces the phone to dig into my ribcage. I guess, next year, I'll go for a +800 fill down with pocket options instead.

I am quite happy with the jacket. Wonderfully stretchy giving me ease of motion. Very well constructed and light weight. I have not worn it in wet conditions as of yet but it kept me warm in -6C with a wool sweater underneath. I am 5'4" 117pds 34/26/35. Size small while being very comfortable it is boxy and a bit big. Consider the fit you want.

Perfect = warm + not too puffy; looks + feels great, too!
