Well this is my first Sierra Designs product and I am very pleased with it. I'm 6', 185#, 43" chest and the Large fits well. Not tight and not real loose, seems like it is perfect for layering over or under as required. It has thumbholes and a few pockets and a stuff sack. It is 800fill down so I'm not sure if there is a finer quality down available commercially, but 800 is amazingly warm, breathable and light. The jacket moves very well with your body and does not bunch or restrict, very comfortable. The sleeves are way long enough for me, and I have very long arms, a man with normal reach will have more than enough length. I was struck with the lightness of the piece, truly just ounces. The seams and construction are top notch, and the outer material is very light but gives a fairly durable impression. Very well designed in my opinion. I haven't tested the water resistant DriDown technology, but it is nice to know it's there. In summary, after seeing the video on the molecular treatment of the down, noting all of the Gear of the Year awards from all of my favorite publications and talking with the REI and Backcountry gear experts I was sold. Now after using it for several months I'm still just as enthusiastic about it. Sierra Designs is a local company for me so I was happy to support them and after using this jacket I will definitely explore their other products.

Good jacket. Men's small fits me (5'8" and 140 lbs) like a glove. My only problem with the jacket is that every time I wear it, it leaks a dozen or so feathers. Enough to draw your attention to it. I'm slightly concerned about the wisdom of compressing the jacket much, since it already leaks down.
