Greate Jacket
My height is 6'3" and weight is 220 lbs. The purchase mountain hardwear downtown coat is really good clothes. Mountain Hardware downtown coat features a great price, warmth, lightness, and good design. Until now, online purchase of clothing was purchased at this time M / H downtown coat is the most satisfying. Highly recommended.

Great jacket from a great company.
I have purchased a lot of Mountain Hardware gear, from tents and backpacks to clothing and I am never disappointed in their quality or performance. The Downtown coat is no different, you can feel the quality from the moment you put it on and the warmth shortly there after. I purchased this coat for a winter trip to Colorado and I was impressed on how warm it was, almost too warm. The jacket is a little large in fit, but that is the only "downside" and considering I am 175lbs at 6'3" it could explain why. The quality and design is outstanding, the jacket zippers are easy to use, the hood does not get in your way when not in use and when you completely close up the jacket you are still comfortable and free to move as needed. I highly recommend this jacket if you are somewhere cold and wet.

Perfect purchase
I travel a lot for work, and was looking for a warm coat for travel in Chicago, Minnesota, and Colorado. I found it. Nothing beats down for warmth vs weight, and this jacket is no exception. Very warm, very comfortable, and, as with all MH products, very thoughtfully crafted, and well made. I'm never disappointed with MH products. I was initially concerned about the reviews concerning fit, being hurried in air travel is enough of a hassle without freedom of movement. I'm 6'0, about 195, wear a 42/44 sportcoat, and this fits very well, and comes down far enough not only for extra warmth, but also more appropriate appearance with a suit (read: you can wear a suit coat under it). Tried it out in sub-zero temps in Minneapolis several weeks ago, and was completely warm, no complaints. Save one... I bought this because the outside shell is smooth, and is dense/tough enough to keep the more ambitious, and curious feathers from poking through - that was a must for me. Because it's so dry and cold in the West in the Winter, the static, which is bad no matter what kind of jacket you slip on, has this jacket gathering more dust and other fibers than other coats I have. Not enough to to detract from purchase, I assure you, a damp cloth (not paper towel) is an easy, quick fix. In a word, thrilled. One thing that wasn't clear to me was the hood, which is also very warm, in that it IS detachable.

worth all the research
I researched online websites for two months looking to replace my 25-year old Lands End Gore-Tex down parka (which really had nothing functionally wrong with it, I just got tired of its bright blue color and balky zipper). Initially, I bought a medium, and it was just a hair too small. I'm 6'0" about 155 lbs, and while it fit the sleeves well, it was just a little too snug despite the fact that I'm pretty skinny. When I called to arrange an exchange for a size large, the rep said that if I'd talked to him first, he would have told me that the coat has an "athletic fit" and recommended a Large. I like the coat. It is really airtight, and traps in the body heat. I live in Chicago, and while I got the coat after the worst of the winter had passed, I wore the coat with a sweater on mornings when the temp was in the teens, and felt no discomfort at all. I expect it'll keep me warm on the coldest days.

Great winter coat! Warm and comfy. Medium fits well. I am 5'7" 145 lbs. Location of pockets are well positioned and the insulated hood is super warm. Would prefer to have more down in the sleeves.
