Expedition Pack Water Resistant 700 Fill Power Down Jacket

I am 200/5"10 and a Large is perfect with ample room for a sweater underneath without looking bulky or boxy. This does NOT run small - if anything it leans slightly larger. Super comfortable not only for the fit and room in the chest and shoulders but also the materials - very nice fabrics and the fill is light yet warm. Granted, this is not a winter coat but especially with a layer underneat this can keep you comfortable into some colder temps. The Neck/Hood is wonderful - the zipline extends to just over your chin and it is lined so as not to irritate the skin and the hood's drawstring keeps your entire cranium warm and wind-protected without sacrificing visibility. This is a warm, versatile, stylish and comfortable fall/early winter jacket and recommend this over a comparable Patagonia puffer jacket.

My husband bought this jacket in December 2023 and has barely even worn it. He specifically saved it for "special occasions" because it was such an expensive investment, and it hasn't even been washed a single time. I am honestly shocked that the fabric is already failing. There are major yellow patches and discoloration all over the shoulders and arms. You spend this kind of money expecting a product to last for years, but this looks terrible after hardly any use. It’s a total letdown—this is supposed to be high-end gear, but the quality is just not there. I am beyond disappointed that the brand won't stand behind their product when it clearly has a defect. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone.
