Elango Water Resistant Hooded Down Puffer Jacket

I fell in love with this brand because of the extra room around the neck when fully zipped, so you can wear your scarves underneath the jacket and enjoy a hood that's big enough to truly shield your face from falling snow or wind (I'm in Chicago - that's important!) But I love this shorter version for it's super roomy arm hole area so all your oversized sweaters will fit just fine without all that annoying constriction. Also love the color. I'm a 'soft autumn' and so sick of black and gray in outerwear. Only ding I'd give the jacket is for the openings at the wrist. While they're likely wide to account for all the long/wide sleeve cuffs in style right now, it would be nice to have a way to adjust/tighten them somehow, to keep the chill out, but it's a minor thing.

Almost everything about this jacket is perfect: recycled fabric and down, large hood, fleece lined front zip pockets, and an inside zip pocket. Unfortunately, I would have needed to size down at least one size. It would still be a relaxed fit (and I understand that is what is supposed to be), but it was just too oversized for me.
