I found this on sale and needed to replace another long parka I own. Im a medium in every which way and should have listened to the other reviewers. My size 8 bottom was uncomfortably snug to the point where if I bent over and straightened back up, I had to pull the parka down my legs a bit. Its a great jacket at a great sale price but this medium ... Read Moresized woman will be exchanging it for a large. I dinged it one star because its not true to size, otherwise its a great winter jacket.
The description given that this cost is attractive, lightweight and warm is correct except for one thing. I am a petite and slim woman, but be aware that this is cut very slim around the hips. It would be greatly improved if the designers gave this coat a bit more ease around ones bottom.
5'6, 165 lbs, bust 36DD, usually size 10-14 depending on company. This fits perfectly around bust (snug) and hips (comfortable). Packs down nicely, no feathers lots, perfectly warm.
I like the fitted cuffs. It is warmer and better quality than the LandsEnd jacket I replaced with yours. It could be a little more relaxed in the torso to fit over a fleece jackets. I like it. Hood is great too.
I have spent a lot of time looking for a warm down parka. This has everything I was looking for in a long winter coat. I tried the medium on in the store in black and even though it was a little snug, I was really happy with fit and it was very light and comfortable. I had gone to the store to try a different parka but ended up liking the features ... Read Moreof this one so much better. Those features included an attached hood that can be snapped down into parka, no Velcro anywhere (thankfully!), pockets with zippers, a coat zipper that can open from bottom and top and a high down count. I ended up getting the forge grey in a large for extra room, by mail, because it was on sale and the black wasnt available. I wasnt sure I would like the color but to my relief it was a beautiful grey, almost greenish grey. It fits great! The only other feature I would have wanted would be that the coat also snaps over the zipper. But Im very happy!
This is an awesome jacket that is super warm, light weight and extremely comfortable. Originally bought it in XS and had to exchange for a S. Very satisfied with my purchase.
The Silent Down Parka is the most fabulous parka I ever purchased! Being a figure skating coach I purchased a size large to fit over my Fiona jackets along with my down vests. It is stretchy enough bundle up and layer for the ice rink and I can easily move well and perform. So fabulous that I bought another one to wear outside of the rinks. I will ... Read Morebuy another if it becomes available in navy! So snuggly warm.
Everything fit perfectly but it was just too snug around the bum area. If you're straight up and down, it probably will work out fine, but if you're more of an apple bottom gal, you may need to size up
I am disappointed with this purchase. I did read reviews but its really too tight. I have removed the tags so I feel Im stuck with it. I would love to be able to return it.
Hey Suzanne! Thanks for providing feedback on the sizing. It's ok for you to send it back under our Ironclad Guarantee. Please reach out to our Customer Service team to get started.

soft and light
I have Patagonia jackets in both x-small and small. However this Silent Down Parka in small is a bit tight around the hip. Medium is roomy and still looks nice and sleek. I feel warm and cozy wearing it walking outdoors around 20°F.
Beautiful coat however it runs very tight thru the hips and therefore I returned the coat. Sadly, if I purchased a larger size coat the sleeves would have been too long and the coat would have run too large in the shoulders.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the sizing for our Silent Down Parka. We appreciate the feedback and have passed the word along about the narrow hip area of this parka. Please note that in Customer Service, we have access to garment measurements which could be helpful when making the best choice for you. After some research, we see that the [Women's Radalie Parka](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-radalie-parka/27695.html?dwvar_27695_color=BLK&cgid=womens-jackets-vests-parkas) affords a bit more room in the hip area, check it out!

Recycled down!
First, I like that this has recycled material in it. It keeps me warm. Its not too puffy. Ive even draped it over my legs while reading. Its comfy.
I love how the material feels, and its very hydrophobic. Super light for how warm it is. I ordered the black but it looks dark brown next to other black fabrics. My only complaint is that it sheds a ton of the down from inside from the very first wear so Im worried it wont last long, which is a bummer because its otherwise a nice coat. The sleeves ... Read Moreare a little short but its nice and form fitting and the length is good.
Thank you for the review on our Silent Down Parka. Some down leakage is normal. If you see a feather sticking halfway out of the parka, pull it back in from behind and rub on the material to close up the hole. What you'll want to avoid doing is pulling it out, as that only opens the hole wider and invites others to also leak out. If you feel that the leakage is excessive, feel free to reach out to [Customer Service](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) so we can look into getting you a replacement.

Incredibly Warm
Given how light this coat is, I assumed that it wouldnt keep me particularly warm, but Ive been very impressed since day one. Its quite long, but the double zipper makes moving around in it easy and functional.
This coat turned out just as it appears on the website. The black is a light black matte. I am 52 and 117 lbs, and the small fits just right. I can definitely fit layers underneath.

I wanted to love this jacket. I want a mid length hooded Patagonia puffer, but it doesn't appear to exist. This one has an odd fit that I've never experienced in several other Patagonia coats. It was loose in the belly, and tight in the booty. The zipper also felt delicate to me, like it might break easily. I love a different jacket, the ...

Great lightweight coat that is also warm.
This coat is definitely fitted. Other reviews said it was large on the top and tight in the bottom. That and the shorter sleeves fit me perfectly. The grey color is great. It is warm enough to wear something light underneath.
I love that this coat is quiet, super warm and the hood folds up. These were the features that attracted me to this coat. The zipper is a double zipper and is a little hard for me to get to used to. I love the inside pocket.
Ive been looking for a green jacket and this one is perfect. Its long so it covers your butt which is great so it keeps you warm. Its soft and quiet and warm.

For reference, I'm 5'0" and 140 lbs. After reading the reviews, I went up a size (from medium to large). Even though I can fully zip up my coat (carefully), it's snug in the hip and bottom area. So I can't put anything in my coat pockets, bend down easily or sit down. However, it is a nice warm coat! It has kept me warm whi... Read Morele standing outside for work. Since I'm petite, I think an XL would be too long in the sleeves and too much room on top.

I was between this coat and the Down with it Parka and choose this one due to the slimmer style. I'm 5'2 and 120 lbs, narrow hips and it fit much better than the other coat which was great, just too much bulk around my neck (I have a smaller head too ha) and too long. This hits just above the knees and although fitted, is very comfortable... Read More; arms perfect length and hood is really great. Very lightweight and comfortable even when sitting. Sage khacki is a nice lighter army green matte color.
Its warm. Its quiet. Its sleeker than my other down parkas while keeping my body warm in New England winters. However, the sleeves are quite short. I need to wear a warm sweater under it to cover my wrists.
I really like their products but unfortunately the sizing doesnt work for women with curves. I found the XL coat was too big in the shoulders but tight in hips. When I returned the coat to the store I tried other styles but all had the same issue.
coat is very light in weight but super warm. It is very durable and can be cleaned easily. Keep packing slip in case zipper breaks, or area gets worn. the guarantee is iron clad; I want to buy more
The jacket provide greats warmth. Unfortunately, the jacket leaks down from micro holes in the outer fabric. Maybe thats why it was on sale. Im a little disappointed because of the quality I usually expect from Patagonia.
We're glad that you're enjoying the warmth of the Silent Down Parka! We recommend machine wash cool water with a mild detergent, then tumble dry on low heat with a couple of dryer balls (or clean tennis balls) to fluff the down and refresh the outer fabric.

Great jacket
I really liked this jacket. Its very warm. I did go up a size, but more because I like to layer and it felt better with the layers in a bigger size.
I had read other reviews that the down feathers poke out all around the coat! I love the Patagonia brand so decided to purchase anyway:( it is super warm but the feathers are annoying! Hope I lasts more than one season!
We are glad that you find the jacket so warm. Down shedding is normal to some extent. You'll want to grasp the feathers from the inside and wiggle them back in to avoid making the hole bigger. If after that, it's still not working for you, you're always welcome to return it under warranty.

Thin but Warm!
Thin but very warm for Midwest winters. Great length. Great buy!
Down makes this a very warm coat. But unlike previous down puffers this one does not shed inside on my usual black clothing. It is warmer than my Nanos and I love that it has a hood but also that the hood tucks away. The fit is trim so you dont look like a house in the coat, even with the XL size. Good color choices. Very happy with this coat.
The coat is a slim fit. I weigh 125 and needed the large as the medium was too tight around the stomach. In their longer coat, I took a medium. Very comfortable coat and good for temperatures in 30s and 40s.
Hi there, thank you for the feedback and we are sorry to hear that. Please note, leaking feathers can be normal with down products as those sharp quills can make their way through the nylon. It should not affect the warmth of the garment and we advise that you try and carefully push the feathers back in and gently pull them out if they cant be maneuvered back in the baffle. If this doesn't work, or you are unhappy with the garment, please feel free to [send](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it back to us under our Iron Clad Guarantee.

Odd fit
Long arms and snug around my rear - felt frumpy definitely made for someone taller and slimmer, I bought a medium which is what would regularly wear for clothes intended to give me room.
This is a very comfy coat and fits me well. At first I thought it might be to fitted but as I have worn it have realized that it's just right. I'm 5'5" with wide shoulders and long arms. (148lbs) I have worn my nano puff jacket under it when I needed more warmth. Have used it on a construction site during an inspection in windy ... Read Morecold weather, road my bike to a nearby winery in it during wind and a bit of rain, wore it shoveling snow and have used it lots as a casual run around jacket. Comfy and breathes well.
Im 52 and the length is perfect, hits right above my knee. Wore a sweat shirt under it and was very warm. Definitely more fitted so size up if you are wanting to layer with thicker clothing underneath. Love that the hood can be zipped inside of coat. Wore in 20° weather and kept me warm. Amazing quality! Love the color!
I really wanted a Patagonia puffer coat but this was a disappointment. I'm a size 2 (XS), but both the XS and the S in this coat were too slim in the hips. Sadly, I had to return the coat.
Perfect for dog walks
Runs slim like the description says- thats why I ordered large.
The only weirdness is the feathers have already started coming out. Usually they dont start that until later....?
Hi Katherine! Thanks for taking the time to write this review. The face fabric of the Silent Down is a little softer than some of our other pieces, and sometimes it's simply the nature of the working with down insulation for the feathers to poke out. When this happens, make sure to pull the feathers back in (through the inside of the jacket) rather than pulling them out as this will create a larger hole. Additionally, make sure to properly care for your down garments by washing on cold and tumble dry on low with a couple of tennis balls to keep the down lofted and in good condition. If you begin to notice a larger hole forming, temporarily patch it with tape and send it to us for [repair](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html)!
We're sorry that the size purchased was a bit snug for you. If you're interested in swapping it out for a bigger size, you can start the exchange process [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Very warm, perfect for dog walking in NH winters
I bought this mostly for walking and snowshoeing with my dog in the winter, it is almost too warm though. I have figured out the perfect layers underneath and now it is my favorite jacket. The only slightly annoying feature is the cuffs are a little tight. Other than that it is great.
I am a petite size 6 and its longer than I would like but it keeps me very warm for walking my dog during this cold snowy winter. I like the fit it isnt too puffy.
I noticed that a few reviews mentioned this item runs small. Unfortunately, that is true. I found myself to truly be between sizes and neither was a good fit.

Its great for everything I do, from taking the dog on a walk in the morning to sitting outside at bars and restaurants with friends. Im yet to be cold wearing it. My favorite touch is the elastic sleeve cuffs, which are comfortable and help keep everything warm.
Love this jacket. I am on the petite side and sometimes feel jackets like this look too puffy or roomy on me. I like that this one is fitted and doesn't look like I am a kid wearing my mom's coat. It hits be above the knee by a few inches and I am 5'0". For those looking for fit, I am around 105 lbs.
Very soft and lightweight. Great grey color. I opted for the xlarge as others reviews recommended to size up, since it is categorized as slim fit.

Once I layer a tank, long sleeve shirt and sweater or sweatshirt or just a bulky sweater, a size large coat is often too snug ... Read Morein the arms and shoulders. The xlarge is a tad large, but rather that, than too small.
I got it just in time for our ice rain storm and it stood up excellently! Didn't soak through, rain dops beaded, and kept me toastier than my cheaper lightweight coat. Exactly what I was hoping for, warmth without the bulk and weight! Love, the grey color, very nice. In the photos, it seemed a bit green, but is not. Hood stays on well, just wish the cuffs were fuzzy fleece and inside the pockets. Love the chest inside zip pocket and the diagonal seaming! Very flattering! Hope it wears well :)
I bought this as my late Christmas gift to myself - I love the color and that it is a hooded jacket.

Lovely coat, warm, strange fit, loses down
When I first put this on, I was disappointed in the fit. It's great from the waist up, but tight around my hips - which is never an issue for me.

Read Moree the color and style, and I need a coat, so I wore it for an extremely slow walk around my hood in about 40 degree weather at night to test it out. It was TOASTY warm - and I get cold very easily, so I really liked that. But after that brief wear, there were about 5 feathers coming out in different places. I saw in a number of other reviews that leaking down was an issue, but decided to try it anyway because it didn't seem to be an issue for everyone, and I need a coat! I considered exchanging this for a larger size, but I'm afraid that it would be too large from the waist up, and I can't afford the time and expense of exchanges for something that might not work. Between the fit and the down leaking I'm sadly going to have to return it.
I wear my Patagonia down sweater as my daily jacket but needed something warmer for outdoor sporting events.

I've attended sporting events with steady rainfall (not pouring, but still lots of water) and it kept me dry. I'm leaving this review because so many people have had problems with feathers shedding, but it honestly hasn't been an issue for me. Overall, after a year I'm still extremely happy with this jacket and expect it to last me for many years.

I got this coat for 70% at a local shop this summer. I've been wanting a longer coat to cover my thighs and butt for football games and everyday wear in Montana.

I have not noticed any feathers poking out yet and I didn't realize that being silent was one of the features. Not typically something O care about unless its totally obnoxious. I have loved Patagonia gear since I discovered my first blue pullover jacket in a fly fishing shop over 30 years ago when I was in high school. I the quality and repairs!
I don't usually buy this expensive jackets but decided I would spend a little more to get something that would last.

Even with a Cairn
I walk my Cairn terrier three times a day. She loves the snow and temps down to 10 or so. This coat is warm, comfortable, and fits. I love it!
Such a warm jacket, just perfect for cold Ohio winters. Fit is a little smaller than I expected even for slim fit, but still ordered normal size. Sleeves are a little short, but there is elastic closure so no fear of cold wrists.
I’ve been wearing a size small in Patagonia for years, so felt confident that this size would work for this parka. It should have fit according to the chart. However, as another reviewer experienced, I could barely zip it up and the sleeves are also short. I had to check the size again to make sure it wasn’t an XS! I’m really sad about this because...

Hi Catherine, thanks for taking the time to write us a review! We're sorry to hear about the trouble with sizing.

Nevertheless, your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return).
I purchssed this coat recently and have not had the chance to wear it yet. The weather here in the northwest has been mild, but suppose to get much colder next week. So I am sure that I will be wearing it soon. Looks to be a very nice coat, fits well and well made. I like that it has a nice looking hood. It is not snug liks some on Patagonia jacket... Read Mores. I like that the hood can be tucked into a zipper collar when not needed. The cuffs are very nice, with the knit inside the outer cuffs, which make it easy to slip on & off. I wish the Jackets were made the same way. Nice length....just above the knee. I think it will be a great coat and I like the style.
I fit the profile on the size chart of a size 8 Medium exactly - yet I could barely zip the jacket up and no, my hips aren't enormous! They measure 38.5 just like the chart. I am returning which I'm super sad to do but there's no way it would be comfortable. A large would be too big based on their size chart, and I'm not wearing... Read More a LARGE.

Perfect jacket for fall
The fit and feel of this jacket makes it perfect for fall temps. It's a flattering cut, and not as bulky as other long parkas. Runs a bit small (I had to exchange for one size up, and I'm nearly always an XS), especially if you plan to layer.
I love this coat as others said there is a slight shedding problem. Wish they could fix it. I was told to put it in the dryer and that did help. That being said I would buy it again.
I got this as a Christmas gift. I really love this jacket, but i'm worried that the quality (at least of the zipper) is questionable...I've had it for a little over a year, and when I went to zip it up the other day, the zipper broke off in my hand.

Read Moren (down sweater, windbreaker, butter fleece, better sweater), but this coat stops well before my wrist and looks ridiculous.

I also don't have to have to layer underneath all the time. This coat is too pricey to not fit well. I'll likely be returning.
I love this coat. I agree that the fit around the hips is too tight. I feel comfortably free in the shoulders, but not so much in the hips, especially if I'm wearing a tunic top or work jeans.

The hip area is more fitted than the top part of the jacket. I am a 4/6 on the bottom or a 28-29 waist in denim and feel this jacket is not proportionate to the top. In th...

Took a walk with it on, temperature was 17 degrees F, and honestly this jacket did not keep me very warm. Temps above 25 its fine. Really on the fence with this jacket.
