Overall Fit
Surprisingly, nearly all of the people who tried on this puffer jacket found that it was not only a great overall fit but also very comfortable to wear. The zipper enclosure and adjustable hood drawcords allowed for a more customized fit, and the shoulder and arms provided a good deal of room and flexibility for most wearers.

Materials Used
The outer shell of this puffer jacket consists of a combination of nylon, polyester and Taffeta materials, that provide great overall moisture resistance. The insulation consists of duck down feathers that can easily trap body heat and help to keep you warm and comfortable even in the most frigid weather.

Craftsmanship
Overall the craftsmanship of this puffer jacket fell easily in line with the high quality that most people have come to expect from the Arc’teryx brand. The seams were tightly sewn, and the fabric overall was well put together. The only real complaint that we found was that the zipper quality didn’t quite match the rest of the jacket.

Ease of Care
Because of the material used, professional cleaning is highly recommended.

Fashion
This is a fairly lightweight and slim jacket overall, so if you’re looking for something with a bit more bulk or weight, you might want to look elsewhere. However, for most people, the clean lines and slim fit makes for a great fashionable look.

Summary
While the fashion of this jacket and the need for professional cleaning isn’t for everyone, this puffer jacket from Arc’teryx is a clear winner when it comes to keeping you warm in many different situations.

Overall Fit
This jacket has more of an athletic fit and fits a bit tighter than a fleece would. Reviews show that if you are a tall person, over six feet, this jacket may be short on you. While the sizing tends to run true to size at the moment, reviewers have been disappointed to order the same size of this same jacket, years later, to realize that the medium from before is not the same medium size now.

Materials Used
The outer material is made from 100% recycled polyester ripstop fabric. The jacket has a DWR finish to help keep you warm and dry if a rainstorm were to find you. This jacket also features strong Vislon zippers. For the inside of the jacket, it is made from 800 fill power goose feathers. One of the things we love most about this jacket is the fact that the feathers were harvested humanely and the welfare of the animals was investigated and respected.

Craftsmanship
Overall the quality and craftsmanship of this puffer jacket is on par with the majority of the others on this list. Patagonia's down sweater offers handwarmer pockets and elastic cuffs on the sleeves. There is also an adjustable hem, so keep the jacket tight around the bottom, not allowing any cold air in. This sweater is also lightweight and packable. Inside the breast of the jacket, there is a small zippered pocket that can be used to keep your phone or money while you are wearing it, or when you're ready to pack it up, the jacket itself folds into the pocket making it very easy to pack.

Ease of Care
Because of down material in the insulation, it is recommended by the manufacturer that this jacket be either cleaned by a professional or hand washed.

Fashion
This is a great looking jacket and is available in ten different colors. The logo on the jacket is small and inconspicuous. The only way this jacket wouldn't look great is if you are very tall, the jacket may be too short.

Overall Fit
Nearly 85% of the customers surveyed found that this jacket fits them well, and corresponded to the size that they were expecting. The sleeves and shoulder area provided more than enough room and flexibility but still hugged at the wrist to keep the cold out easily. The waist, while not cinched, still hung close to the body and provided a comfortable barrier against the cold.

Materials Used

The insulation itself is a combination of both down feathers and synthetic polyester material. This allows for great durability, warmth, and protection when you need it most.

Craftsmanship
Unfortunately, the overall craftsmanship of this puffer jacket does leave a bit to be desired. There were a few reports of the insulation materials coming out of the jacket, and the seams becoming undone after a few uses.

Craftsmanship
