I had one from a year ago that my dog ripped a hole in it so I got another one. I ordered the same size and the new one is a little bigger. Sleeves a longer, jacket a little wider, etc. I love it however. Just should have tried on first.
We appreciate your feedback, Kim! We'd be happy to take a look at your previous jacket to see if we can repair it, so please don't hesitate to reach out to our [Customer Service](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) team if you'd like assistance. In Fall 2022, our design team made a few changes to this style, adding more down insulation, changing the zippers, and updating some measurements at the sleeve and hip. Thanks for taking the time to review it!

Love this jacket!
This is a very pretty light purple that I got a good sale price. It is still a bit cool in the mornings, and this is the jacket I have grabbed as I head out. Love that the arms are long enough for me. Please don't change the sleeve lengths - tall peeps need the longer sleeves.
The cream color is beautiful and can be styled for a classic look. This lightweight down is warm without out adding a heavy layer. It has been a wonderful addition to my winter wardrobe.
Love this coat. Warm, light weight and comfortable. Sizing true and I like room for a vest so I sized up. I will buy it again when this one wears (I bought my first when it was a new product for Patagonia).
Comfortable well made jacket. Nice deep pockets with zippers. Arms are a little long which I like because if I dont have gloves on my hands are still warm. Big enough to wear a sweater underneath if needed. The only problem is it is a little tight around the bottom which makes it a little difficult to zip, but not impossible.
This is my go to jacket!! I purchased my first several years ago and find it so versatile. Great for travel (all season) as its light enough to keep warm on a plane and stuffs easily into a bag without taking up room. Actually saved me on a cruise that turned out to have some bad weather. I originally purchased this new design in an XL after readin... Read Moreg the reviews that it ran small. I did not find that to be true. Im an average size 12 , usually wear a L In Patagonia , thus the XL was way too big overall. Because the color I ordered was on sale( more reason to purchase) and L was not available, I exchanged for M which was a little too snug. Soooo I waited it out( so grateful Patagonia is so generous with exchange time limit of 1 year!!!) and luckily the L became available, which arrived and fits great! I have long arms and wide shoulder and L fits well. The length falls nicely at hips. Keeps me warm, and is great under a winter jacket for additional warmth without the bulk while skiing . I cant sat enough about this jacket
I was trying to replace my 22 year old Patagonia puffy coat and ordered this new one. Bummer that it was substantially longer in length so I had to return it. I love Patagonia but with the changes made it no longer is a fit for me.
She wore it to a trip to Oregon and Washington through snow and rain. Though not water proof, she stayed warm. She is generally a cold person so layering with this on the outside helped a lot. One tiny con is not a lot of option for colors. She bought a bigger size to layer, typically shes an XS.
I was so excited to receive my XS jacket! The jacket was well made, and beautiful! Then I tried it on; sadly I had to return it. It was too long, the sleeves were huge. PLEASE Patagonia make some petite sizes, I do not want to purchase a kids jacket! I am 5 feet tall 100 pounds. Thanks!
We're sorry to hear that this jacket wasn't a good fit. If you're still interested in our [Women's insulated jackets](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/womens-insulated-jackets-vests?prefn1=fit&prefv1=slim), we recommend you take a look at our Radalie Jacket and AlpLight Down Jacket as they fit a smaller frame.

I love this down sweater but ...
This down sweater fits great and is a perfect weight and warmth for chilly but not winter cold weather ... however, the shell fabric is TOO thin which results in small holes thru which down starts leaking and once it starts leaking, it doesn't quit. This is the 2nd one purchased over the past 12-ish years. The shell fabric on the first one doe... Read Mores not seem to be as thin or fragile as the latest one purchased.

Nice and light
Patagonia has always been reliable. Only thing I would change is to make it look a little more sliming and the wrist band area to be smaller. Everything else is great!
Very warm, lightweight and wind resistant. Allows full range of movement without bunching when used as a liner or having cold spots. The liner clings to body to eliminate drafts. Feels better with a layer or more underneath. Down pokes in the under arm region if wearing a light t- Shirt so it would be nice if there was another layer of liner in the...

I bought this jacket in the Sound Blue color which I love. This inspired me to get it in Rustic Purple. It is even prettier in person when you try it on. The fit is perfect on me.

I don't know how this jacket could be improved upon. I would love to get it in the perennial purple color!

Love the style
I love the fit on the down sweater jacket much more than the nano puff. It's warmer too but has a fitted look. Love the purple color just in time for spring.
I love my old Patagonia down sweater and I am very sad they changed the cut. It is shaped more for a man than a woman. It is broad in the shoulders, long in the sleeves and tight around the hips. Please, Please, go back to your old pattern.

Love it
This is a great puffy. I love how warm but light it is, and it looks good on. My girls are big, but for comfortably in this jacket. Only two minor wishes, while the slim pockets are deep and comfortable, the discreet zippers can be a pain to grab. Also wish there was a breast zip pocket ( or just a third zip pocket) for carrying license and cash. I... Read More have the dusty purple and it is a great color!
Please bring the old fit back. The fit of this jacket is very strange at the bottom of the jacket. It is tighter than the rest of the jacket and a few inches too long and just looks odd. This was not the case on previous models.
I have wanted one of these for a long time and was delighted to see the color I like on sale. Love the warmth, style, pockets and the bright pink interior with matching zipper pulls. I bought an XL which is roomy. A large is likely the truer size for my height and weight (5ft 5inches & 160#) but I like clothes on the loose side.
Like others, I found this fit strangely tight on the hips. Ordered 2 sizes - the small was much too large in the shoulders and chest while snug on hips; the XS fit up top but couldnt even close on hips (2-3 inches gap). For reference, I'm 34/28/37 and not very curvy in the hips and butt.
Otherwise, beautiful jacket and color. Too bad its a re... Read Moreturn.

Loved the coat, hated the fit
I wear a Patagonia S, but when I tried this on at the Cambridge, MA store, it felt a little close on the hips. I wanted room for a bulky sweater, if needed, so I ordered the medium. It was way, way too big around chest and waist, and just right on hips. Very disappointed with the fit.

lightweight, warm, happy
This is a much better option for cold temps than the Nanopuff.
The down sweater is close/slim fitting but works well over a thin sweater or lightweight long sleeved shirt. Interior chest pocket is perfect for putting in some credit cards or folded paper money, a set of keys.
Wow, I cannot believe this jacket checked all the boxes - fit, style, color, length and weight. I wanted a down jacket that was warm but lightweight and easy to pack/wear when travelling. I chose this jacket over the hoody version because hoods usually add too much bulk (unless they are removeable). Beautiful jacket!
Absolutely love this jacket. It is so lightweight and comfortable. I took it with me to North Carolina and it was perfect. Had a light t-shirt underneath and it kept me warm. It is also packable so it took up almost no room in my suitcase. Would definitely recommend this jacket!!!
I got the grey/blue jacket and love the look, though like others, I find that the jacket is tight at the hips. I'm tall and slender and did not have this problem with my previous Patagonia jacket. I hope the designers take note of the comments. Not sure who they are using as models!
Hi Tracey, we're very sorry to hear about the fit issue. If you find the tightness of the hip too bothersome, we recommend sizing up. Please feel free to begin [complimentary exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at your earliest convenience.

Decline in quality
I recently warranted my old down sweater (aside: it's fantastic that I was able to do that and Patagonia has such a robust warrantee program) after a decade of wear.

Excellent jacket!
This is a perfect down jacket. I wasn't sure how the fit would be, based on reviews, but I found it perfect: I'm 5'9" ~133 and the S fits perfectly, with some room for a layer underneath (you'd want a M if you plan on thicker layers). I like the fitted look / feel--it's shaped well for a woman. Maybe the fact that I&#x... Read More27;m tall helps, but I think it's idea. Very well made, smooth / soft fabric and super warm.
So I love my other down jackets from Patagucci but was tired of the colors. Got this on a whim and was pleasantly surprised at how thin and light it is and yet temperature regulates perfectly. Havent been sweaty in it yet and i walked around in it for 3 miles on a sunny 70* day. I will say that it is more nipped in the midsection than other my Size...

Thank you for the review, Patrice. We're very sorry to hear that you feel like our quality has overall decreased. We double checked on any changes for this particular item and it looks like we actually added 26% more down, so it definitely should not be thinner.

BITES!
I have worn Patagonia products forever, and this is the first down sweater i dont recommend !
The fit is good. But the problem is that the down feather ends poke through the lining, constantly biting my back and arms ! Not good.
Probably wont continue to wear.
Hi Julie! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review on the Women's Down Sweater. We're really sorry to hear down is poking through the material. It is completely natural for some of the down and feathers to escape through the fabric, particularly in the seams. The sharp quills of the feathers can poke tiny holes in the fabric and work their way through to the outside. It is normal for this to happen, particularly in newer products when the down has not had an opportunity to settle. In rare cases, a material defect may cause excessive down leakage in a product which is covered under warranty. If you're unsatisfied you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Great winter mid layer
Love this jacket. Have been using my previous version down sweater for over 15yrs and love it. This ones great but fits narrower in the hips and more room in the chest. XS was too small for my hips but fit great in the chest. Went up a size but will probably be too bulky in the chest as a base layer. Love the colour new navy with my blue eyes. Comp...

Loved everything about this but it was a little snug with a sweater underneath. That was why I got a medium instead of small. I have a puff coat In medium and it works perfectly. I do love the weight and warmth and looks.

Really light and really warm!
I love this jacket- its even lighter than the nano puff and super warm. I just it as a light layer to ski or to warm up for tennis. It looks sharp and very comfy for all occasions. Love the blue purple color.
This is a beautiful sweater. I love the blue green color. Its a little too long for me and tight around the hips but Im keeping it. Zipper is hard to engage.

Snowshoe jackets
The large was a little tight but the xl was perfect. Its extremely warm yet light weight. It also worked well in the light mist I wore it in.
I've had my Down Sweater for a few weeks and love it. It's light, but warm and the cut is very flattering. I like the zippered pockets and while I've not had to pack it yet, I love that it can be very compact. I'm very pleased with the Down Sweater and highly recommend it (I got it on sale, so that was a big plus!).
I bought this new jacket to replace my Down Sweater jacket from spring of 2016 because the inseams on the arms kept catching on the pocket zippers.

This jacket is super cute, light and fluffy, but still very warm! I got a medium so I could layer under this jacket (I'm 5'4", 145lb). I got the purple color which I love. I've been wearing at all temps under 60. Definitely recommend.
I love it because it is a light jacket, yet it adapts to my body temperature and the weather. I can dress sporty or casual and it looks wonderful. It is easy to care for and requires little space in your tote bag. Texas folk we need this piece in our wardrobe.
I really loved how cozy this jacket felt on. However, I ordered this is in an x-small and small. The x-small fit well in on top, but got stuck on my hips and made zipping it up difficult and uncomfortable around the hips. The small was gigantic on me and the arms were way too long.

Love warmth/weight of this jacket. Have it in multiple colors. Can use as an outer jacket, or as an under base when in the coldest days in Colorado. It is a winner! Its sleeve length is actually long enough for a tall person- added bonus. Really like this jacket design.
So happy to be able to replace my original down sweater from Patagponia. I found this on on sale
the color is beautiful, brighter blue than navy and the lining is pink, with pink accents.
This jacket is more tailored than the original and the fit is tighter through the hip. Love It!
I wanted a casual winter jacket for the non-frigid days where I don't need my huge parka and this works really well for that. Color (Sound Blue) is very pretty.

I was able to exchange for a Small (my regular size) which fits perfectly everywhere except the hips, where it's a snug.

This is my favorite jacket...I have it in many colors. Its warm and super comfortable. It will snag easily so be wary of berry bushes and dogs with long nails. But still worth it...especially when on Worn Wear or sale.
Really love this versatile down sweater - no bulk, super warm and cuts the wind. Perfect for riding my horse when xtra warmth is needed; ideal for hiking. Great Pockets allow for iPhone, dog biscuits. Added bonus, fits great under my Patagonia down jacket when the temps really drop.
I had the nano puff jacket for years but wanted something slightly warmer. This jacket fits the bill. It is warmer and still light weight. Love that it zips all the way up to cover my neck.
I absolutely love my down sweater! It is my "Goldilocks Jacket": not too hot, not too cold, just right for the upper 30s to high 50s damp, coastal California days/nights. For a puffy jacket it fits close enough to be flattering too.
I wanted to love my Down Sweater but the fit was weird. The color was also not what I expected. I normally wear a small in other brands but because Patagonia runs small I went up to a medium. The bottom was tight around the hips, the arms were long and the shoulders wide. Patagonia needs to adjust the fit of woman's jackets and coats.

My family buys a lot of Patagonia, it's pricy but great gear and we watch for sales.

I've have better luck with the fit of Eddy Bauer and Columbia but I prefer PataGucci.
For being such a forward thinking company it has always bothered me that Patagonia does not do a better job with size inclusivity. After this last purchase I had to write a review.
This is a great jacket from Patagonia. It's super lightweight for the warmth it offers. It's easy to move in; not bulky. Even when wearing a Re-Tool underneath, I still have room to move about freely. Always great quality and service from Patagonia.
I always get these for my kids and thought it was time to get myself one. Its light weight and keeps me so warm. Its not the most stylish casual jacket but it does the job of being packable and warm.
This jacket is as advertised - it packs small, is lightweight and warm. I think it'll be what I bring with me 3/4 Minnesota seasons (winter deserves a heavier choice - or layers I guess!). It's already traveled to Mexico and was a great choice for cool nights. Stylish cut, not bulky. I especially appreciate the long arms in this jacket.
*disclaimer - I worked in an Outdoor Reailer for about 6 years.
What says the most? I still buy Down Sweaters. No Discount. I wear them alone, I layer with them, I put a shell over them and wear in rain and snow.

The Down Sweater is MY favorite.
I bought the large size in Sound Blue at REI. This jacket fits me perfectly: the sleeves are nice and long right past my wrist (I like that length), I can wear it over a fleece jacket for a nice snug fit, and its warm. I love the pink interior and pink zipper pulls. This is my new favorite jacket of the five I own. Its perfection!
I purchased and returned this coat because I didnt like it for layering. I prefer the nano puff because it fits closer to the body. I wear a nanopuff under a shell. For whatever reason, this sweater, even in my regular size, had a slightly looser fit.
Hi Denise, thank you for taking the time to write a review. This season's Down Sweater has a slimmer fit through the body and waist. If you haven't already done so, please feel free to take advantage of our [complimentary exchanges](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) to grab a different size.

I wanted something for high elevation winter hiking, trail running, snowshoeing, etc., so I first bought the AlpLight down jacket. It was a very strange fit for me, so I thought I would try this and see how different it really is, functionally. For reference, I'm 5'5", and 39", 29", 40. I'm not a super athlete anymore.... Read More This fits me much better, and I like the color I was able to get better - but it is definitely thicker and honestly I don't think it's as warm as the AlpLight. I find it a little strange that this is called a down sweater, when it's too thick to fit under another coat, but the AlpLight down jacket might fit under a coat, and is more packable. I'm afraid I'll probably return this one, even though I like it better, because it's not as functional for the purpose I bought it for. I could wear it in my very cold home office as a sweater. For outerwear, I prefer something longer, unless I'm doing something active, in which case the AlpLight is probably better.
Hey Ava, thanks for the thorough and detailed review. The Alplight was designed for alpine pursuits so it will definitely be more lightweight and packable, but the Down Sweater is pretty packable as well. With that said, it does have more loft and bigger baffles. We think the [Women's Micro Puff Jacket](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-micro-puff-jacket/84071.html?dwvar_84071_color=HMKG&cgid=root) might be worth checking out considering what you are looking for. It does not have down insulation but the synthetic works well in wet weather and it is also very packable.

Fit is not for me.
Fit is not for me. Too long too thin. Please consider making petite sizes.
Also the sweater has been sprouting feathers since the second wearing.
Hi Katharine, thank you for submitting this review. With regard to the feather loss, you may be able to keep them intact by pulling them back in from the other side, and then firmly rubbing the fabric with your thumbs to close any hole that has formed. In any case, it sounds like the size or cut of this jacket is not for you. We want you to be happy with everything you purchase from us, and if you like we'll be happy to help you [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it. We'll also share your feedback on the size options with our design team.

Great all around jacket
I really like this jacket. It is lightweight yet very warm. Fits true to size and very comfortable. Sure to be a favorite go to!
This is my 4th Down Sweater and it is noticeably cut slimmer than my other 3. Im not certain why Patagonia found it necessary to change the cut from the original but it is not nearly as comfortable as the original cut.
Thanks for the feedback, Judie. We did make some changes to the overall design and fit in hopes of making it better. We're sorry to hear that it has resulted in a much more snug fit for you. If you'd like to exchange out for a size up or return, click [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Excellent versatility
I bought this to upgrade from my daughters 7-year old version and enjoy the newer inside pockets and deep blue color. Ive experimented with layering and have found the coat to be warm into the windy 20s with just a medium weight fleece or wool sweater underneath. The neck zips up to my chin which is also an improvement I appreciate. Its a bit tight... Read More in the hips per the description and I chose a large over an XL which was roomier in the hips but too large overall. All in all, this is a versatile winter coat and warmer than expected for a down sweater.
I sized up from my usual Patagonia size Small because I wanted to be able to wear it comfortably over a heavier top like a Micro D 1/4 zip. I already have a the down sweater in a size S and size M. I found the fit on this one to be different. It was a closer fit through the body than my other down sweaters and the sleeves were longer (too long). I ... Read Morecould have kept it, but I decided that sleeve length and general fit were a deal-breaker. Also, the color was more purple than blue and I didn't like all of that bright pink contrast. Back it went. For reference I'm 5'4", 124 lbs.
I agree with a previous reviewer. the jacket seems to be cut for a male. wide shoulders, narrow hips. also sleeve quite long.
really wanted to love the product; most disappointed that I did not
My new down jacket is very comfortable, warm and fits well. I like the color but was surprised that the lining is pink, not my preference.
I love that Patagonia uses recycled materials including down, and is taking major steps in an attempt to help the environment. I will continue to support your company whenever possible.
Finally! A Patagonia jacket that accommodates a larger chest!
This jacket is fantastic! It has plenty of room for my 36DD and is slim in the torso/waist and hips! I can move and rotate my arms, free from any squeezing of my chest. Full movement and comfort with a slim flattering cut.

Thrilled with this cut!!!! Thank you Patagonia for making a jacket that allows those of us with a bigger chest to enjoy your products when enjoying the outdoors.
For reference -

5 foot 5 inches

If you are a pear shape- I purchased a Nano large and it was more of a typical Patagonia cut - small in the chest - narrow torso - wide hips. It barely fits over the ladies - doable but restrictive.
I love this jacket. It is the second one I have purchased. Still wearing the original one but wanted a second color. This jacket is awesome in a broad range of weathers.

Because I was unsure of size I purchased this in the medium and the large and returned both of them. In both jackets the arms were disproportionately long and because the sleeves did not fit tightly around the wrist I was unable to push the arms up although given how long they were I doubt that would have worked.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and we are incredibly sorry to hear about the issues with the length of the sleeves.

Awesome
Bought this garment for my wife and she just loves it. Great fit and comfort as with super-majority of Patagonia products.
Love the fit of this. Im an athletic build and sometimes Patagonia sizes are tight around my shoulders and back in small. In this jacket the small feels great, its comfortable and snug. Its not loose or big around the body/hips like some of the other jackets I have from Patagonia. This is attractive and very functional. Super light weight and I lov... Read Moree the indigo ( dark purple) color. I wear it daily on moderately cold days, wear it hiking/walking and as a mid layer skiing.
Fits beautifully with room for a sweater. Very warm. Love the color, looks especially nice with denim jeans. Zipper can be difficult to engage, takes many tries.
This is my second down sweater. I purchased my first one about 9 years ago, and it was still my go to everyday winter coat but due to some wear over the years wanted an upgrade. I personally love the new fit. Its longer and less boxy compared to my first down sweater. I am still impressed by the warmth, and I love the vintage purple color!
I am 5'7" and 130 lbs and the medium fits perfectly. This jacket is great for cool weather or layering under a shell for skiing. It is so comfortable that I wear it often!
Love this jacket. Keeps me reasonably warm (not toasty, but warm enough) down to about 20 F. This does run a bit small. I'm a large to XL in Patagonia. Definitely needed an XL in this one. The colors are great - really nice to have the bright blue/pink rather than the drab brown/red theme Patagonia has at the moment. If I would make one design... Read More suggestion to Patagonia, it would be to make it a couple inches longer. Otherwise - great jacket!
I gave this jacket 4 stars because of the color. It looked different on line and didnt work out for me, so I returned it for credit. That said, I wish I could have kept it. It fit nicely and looked well made.
Hi Sharon, we're sorry that Rustic Purple didn't turn out to be what you were hoping for. Please let us know if we can be of any help with that return, or with finding an alternative.

My favorite winter jacket
This is my third Women's Down Sweater. It's the perfect weight and warmth for most of the winter in Anchorage, AK. I like this new design, the fit around my hips is better - not so blousy. However, to fit my shoulders/chest I need a large - the new design seems to have longer sleeves and they are too long for me. I am going to see if my f... Read Moreriend who is a seamstress can help me shorten them about 2 inches and insert a new elastic.... otherwise the elastic is too loose to hold the sleeves at my wrist and they eventually drop into my palms and interfere with my gloves.
Otherwise, I love this coat.
Love the fit and two-tone color of this down sweater. I've owned XS and S in the down sweater and I've opted for the more form-fitting (yet still plenty of layering/movement room) XS.
This jacket was a standard for Patagonia. Beloved. And then... they made it inches longer. It is a totally different jacket now that it covers the butt. Sadly, I will be on ebay trying to find an older one.
Thank you for sharing this feedback, Liz. We're sorry this revision missed the mark for you. If you prefer the previous model you can also watch our [Worn Wear](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/) site for gently-used Down Sweaters of previous styles. Please let us know if we can help!

I love the Patagonia puffer,
I love the Patagonia puffer, which is what we call the down sweater. It is warm without the weight, feels like wearing air! My daughters keep borrowing my puffers, so I keep restocking! My husband wears his black puffer everyday on the train commuting into NYC. Our whole family enjoys wearing Patagonia puffers!
I have two hooded down sweaters and got the this version as a lighter and even more packable option for traveling and its great! The sleeves are just a touch long. I roll them a bit most times. Its also a teensy bit snug on my booty but fits perfectly elsewhere with enough room for a light sweater underneath. I just completed a 24 hour trip from th... Read Moree US to Southeast Asia and it was exactly what I needed. Worked as a great extra layer/blanket on the super cold airplane but stuffed down to almost nothing once I hit the tropical air and no longer needed it. I got the light purple and its beautiful. Im 5 ft 9 in and 165 pounds and wear a medium in most my Patagonia gear, which is what I ordered and is an ideal for for me.
I ordered an xs and a small because I was nervous based on reviews that the xs would be too snug. I have this jacket from about 4 yrs ago and saw in reviews that they changed the fit. The small fit very well in the body, but the arms were about 4 inches too long. The xs is snug in the hips, but Im able to zip it. The sleeves fit much better. Why ar... Read Moree the arms on the small so long?! I ended up keeping the xs, even though its slightly tight, bc the sleeves on the small looked ridiculous. I wish the xs fit the way my old jacket fits though, with more room. For reference, I'm 5 foot and 115 lbs.
I ordered this in a medium, my size in Patagonia fleece. It fit great through the arms, shoulders and chest but it was way too tight around my waist. Patagonia recommends sizing up for a more relaxed fit so I returned it for a large but I find sizing up does not resolve the narrower cut at the hips. The hem is still too tight and now the arms, shou... Read Morelders and chest are too big. It is simply an awkward fit. I honestly cant decide if I am going to keep it. The sale price is good, but it just doesnt look good on. I guess this new cut is better for folks with a narrow build, not those of us with curves.

Perfect for a wide range of temperatures.
Love the down sweater, but I thought the color Sound Blue would be a little brighter and prettier. Husband got a blue down jacket from Rab and the color is much nicer than my Patagonia. This is just a dull blue. Considered returning. Disappointed. But no other pretty color was on sale, and now I cannot trust color to be accurate on the internet.

Love this jacket. Had one
Love this jacket. Had one I wore for years -Antarctica, Africa, theater, everywhere. Then lost it so got another. Sad it doesn't still come in the silver color I had before that went with everything and could dress up or down. But this color works. Have recommended it to many friends.
LOVED the color blue. The arms were about 3 inches too long, too much room in chest/stomach, but way too tight around hips. I ended up giving it to my mom, who is 4 inches taller, and it fit her beautifully. Patagonia needs to make petite sizes -- the regular hits too low on the body in any size above an XS.
Thanks for this review, Charlotte. We've made some strides in our size range options, but we still have a ways to go before we're truly inclusive.

Too tight at hem
I am a petite woman and the hem of the jacket comes across the fullest part of my hips. Just wont work for me. Returned it last week.
I purchased 2 down jackets: the Down Sweater and the Alplight jacket. For added warmth without bulk when the day turns cool on the golf course, the Alplight weight was best. However, for those of us with upper body musculature, the fit in the shoulders and arms was too restrictive while the lower body fit was fine even with 2 light layers underneat... Read Moreh.
I am keeping the Down Sweater. I could probably downsize to a large, but am
concerned about shoulder mobility even though it is bulkier than I prefer for the golf course.
The Alplight jacket with the same cut as the Down Sweater would be the perfect layer for me!
We really appreciate your thoughtful and detailed feedback on these down-insulated jackets. Please let us know if you need any help to return one of them. Thanks for your review, Suzanne!

Fit
Big Fan of this jacket however I wish it was slightly tapered in at the waist and out at the hips for more of a feminine fit. I would also like to see a double zipper option, one bottom to top and one top to bottom for more customization in fit and warmth.
I have a couple of other Down Sweaters from 6-8 years ago and wanted a new one. My older down sweaters are a size M and a size S (hoody). I ordered the new one in a size M because I wanted a bit of extra room for layering. The cut of the new one is much different than the older ones. Generally speaking I would say that the body is cut more narrow a... Read Morend the arms are much bigger. I had to return it because the new one didn't have as much room through the body as I wanted (not as much as my old Medium) and the arms were so big though the shoulders that they were not flattering, and the length of the sleeves was way off (almost to my fingernails when I let my arms hang down at my sides). I got this in the blue and was surprised to see the bright pink lining at the color and inside the sleeve cuffs (very noticeable when I rolled the sleeves to get a better length). Also, the blue is closer to a purple than blue, and I really was't looking for a purple and pink jacket. Overall, just not flattering on me...not the fit and not the color.

Over the years I've had several down sweaters & was pretty happy to see the return of some bright colors, particularly after the past few years of such dark hues.

Unbalanced sizing
I have this same item from over 10 years ago. I wanted to update to a new one. My original size small was tight in the hips, so I tried a M. It was too big on top and the sleeves were way too long, and the hip area was so tight I would not want to wear it. My hips are 37 inches and sizing says a M is for 40 inch hips. No way. I am a tiny person but... Read More this jacket is made for someone with absolutely no hips. Also, my previous jacket had a gross grain ribbon running down the flap by the zipper, which prevented the fabric from catching in the zipper. I loved this feature, it was the smartest thing, but they have removed this. For such an expensive jacket you would think they would keep this important detail. I am very disappointed that I cannot buy Patagonia because they have weird sizing - and I have a basic petit shape and not at all overweight. Plus they do not offer petite sizes which is really a shame. Please get your sizing correct Patagonia!
We appreciate your feedback and we're sorry to hear the fit on this jacket didn't work.

Comfortable and warm
I like the slim fit and zippered pockets. Its warm but not bulky. If you plan to wear sweaters or the like with it I would size up.
I was nervous to take the plunge on the updated trimmer fit after reading some of the reviews. I am a consistent XS in Patagonia outwear (i.e. Nanopuff coat and vests), but went against my better judgment and sized up to a Small. It was WAY too big in the arms, body and hips! I could truly have fit another heavy coat underneath. I sent it back for ... Read Moremy usual XS and the fit is a dream! I especially love the trimmer fit through the hips--modern, fitted, and feminine without the exaggerated bell shape of traditional women's styles. I can still layer a long-sleeved thermal shirt and vest underneath. For reference, I am 5'4/110 lbs. and 34-25-34.5. Hopefully this helps someone else who is on the fence re sizing with the new cut. Finally, the color Sound Blue is gorgeous and super flattering and the coat is perfect 3 season weight for the temperate SF Bay Area. Very pleased.
Wry dissatisfied with the durability of this jacket. Fabric is about as strong as my psi Ty hose. Several small tears after 2 months of use. One large tear on front and lost numerous feathers. I mostly wear to and from work on hikes. I don't pack gear, so Im at a loss for the rips.

The new Patagonia down sweater runs large in the shoulders and narrow in the hips. I own last years cut and it fits perfectly. I love it so much, I wanted it in another color. I was sadly disappointed to discover this years redesigned cut, fit too snug for comfort.

Hey Jessica, thanks for the feedback on the Down Sweater. We offer different fits in all of our gear. Some items fall under form-fitting, others slim, and we also have regular and relaxed fits. This particular jacket has a regular fit, so it wasn't designed to sit very close to the body. You can check the fit on any item underneath the size range options on the product page. With that said, we want you to be happy with your purchase; if you ever find that isn't the case, you're welcome to begin a return on [this page](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).
