Made with durable 20-denier nylon shell fabric and stuffed with premium 800-fill down insulation, this winter coat offers natural breathability and a super high warmth-to-weight ratio. Box quilt construction keeps the down right where you need it for maximum warmth and 4 zippered pockets keep small items handy. Velcro tabs on the cuffs and dual hem drawcords cinch closed to seal out chilly breezes and retain body heat.

Construction wise, hard to beat
Some reviews have this coat as fitting too short on the waist, but i find it to fit very well. I am 6'-5" and the L fits very well with plenty of arm length to spare, which is hard to find is some coats. The lining in the pocket and on the neck is a must during cold weather. The material used for the coat lining (like most down coats) equals the temperature outside, so the pockets would be pretty much useless without the lining in side (as is the pockets of the north face thunder coat). Only complaint i have looks wise is the solders are a bit poofy. If i was to get a down coat strictly for looks it would be the north face thunder. If i was to purchase another down coat, this one would be it.

Excellent Warmth
Found the absolute best price and color selection here at Altrec. Great jacket. Fits extremely well and the goose down fill is incredibly warm. I tried a number of other jackets and I was most impressed with the look, fit, and color choices offered by Mountain Hardware.

warm
Warm but not very thick, which is exactly what I wanted. This jacket does not make you look like a marshmallow :)

Great jacket for Colorado
Bought this for my son in law who lives in colorado and does alot of outdoor activities plus often spends time outside for his work. He loves the look and feel and warmth. Said he could wear a tshirt underneath and still be plenty warm. My other two sons and husband all own a mountain hardwear down jacket. Great quality.

Good Buy
Tested the jacket May, 2011 in the still heavily snowed-in area of Carson Pass, CA (elevation 8,900 ft) with a hike to Round Top peak (elevation 10,200); jacket was helpful in the 50+ mph winds at the crest - though temperatures at the time were 40 degrees dropping at times to a guesstimated wind-chill of 30 degrees - the jacket performed well.
