There's much to see 14,000 feet up at the Chasm View bivy, including a vertigo-inducing panorama of the Diamond and alpenglow over the Rockies. There's also chilly air in any season, and that's where the Patagonia Down Sweater for Women comes in. It delivers minimal weight, superb compressibility and high-loft warmth. The ripstop shell (1.4-oz 22-denier) with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish does more than look sharp: this mid-layer insulator is tear-resistant, windproof and made from 100% all-recycled polyester. Details include top-quality 800-fill-power goose down, an updated fit and styling, quilted-through construction, two exterior zippered pockets and a stretch-mesh interior chest pocket that doubles as a zippered stuff sack with carabiner clip-in loop. The Women's Down Sweater is an ultralight jacket with highly compressible down insulation and a windproof shell for cold mountain pursuits.

Quality Product
I am about 5'6 125 pounds, and the medium fits perfectly. The fit is very flattering. The jacket is very light in weight, however is extremely warm once you put it on. I ordered the prickly pear and absolutely love the color! I could not be more satisfied with this jacket, and I am excited to wear it throughout the winter. There is nothing so far that I have found to dislike about this jacket. It is well worth the money and you get more than what you pay for.

Great jacket for cool weather
This jacket is great, it keeps you warm into the mid 30s, it is very comfortable, fairly wind proof and it provides some protection against rain. The fit is true to its size. I highly recommend this jacket for cool fall and spring days. This jacket would also work for mild winter weather. Overall a great jacket, I have purchased another for a friend since my original purchase.

Great bargin for such a nice jacket~
I have got this jacket with promp delivery, thanks to Altrec.com and luckly I can get the size to fit me well. i am 5.6" tall, 120 lbs and a small size fits me well that even you can put somthing inside the zip pocket and feel free. it is super light weight that I feel like I was buying some cottons when the package was received!!!The Amaranth color is so nice that it is out of my expect apart from just viewing it from the website. It is more likely a purple-pink color, a good match with the light blue zips. i just love it so much and highly commend for frequent traveller who wants a light and decent warm down jacket.

Patagonia down sweater
Love this down "jacket". I just stuff it in my daypack or backpack and go. I have been backpacking lots in the San Juan Mountains of colorado and don't need to carry as many layers as I used to because this jacket is great, light, and warm. Love the bright colors too. I wear a rain jacket over this "sweater" when the wind comes in or if it rains. Don't want to get it wet as I think that would be a mistake with down.

I've been pining after this jacket or 'sweater' for months now. It's almost perfect. The color is great, the sleeves are very long, and it is WARM. I am tall and it would be better if it were a bit longer. Still, I'm glad I went with a small. It shipped really quickly via FedEx just in time for the first frost!
