16.02.2026Good, quality down jacket
Well constructed, good down jacket (bought it at 45% off), a good in-between a very light, low filling and a considerably thicker one.
I have the male and female version for my wife and whilst i can easily go out with it at -10 and be ok (moving, not standing still for a prolonged period), she is a little cold at that temp.
Though not a rule, i would say that for a woman, without too many layers underneath, this is a perfect, longer at the back, light-weight, comfortable, not-too-sporty-looking jacket (ok for the city if you're not a fashion victim) for the -2 - +10 degrees weather.
Would buy again with no hesitation but not at full price.

21.01.2026I would not recommend this jacket
I was wearing for 3 days
Its lightweight and its suitable for normal daily walk in a sunny day.
It feels that there is not much down inside the jacket and there is no label showing how much down weight it has.
The feathers are leaking through the seams after wearing it for 3 days.
This jacket cannot endure windy and rainy day.
I am a bit disappointed by poor quality, considering the good reputation of the brand name.

Hi Jingwen,
We're sorry to hear you're not satisfied with the item.
Down products lose down and feathers over their lifespan. This loss is normal for all down products and is due to the manufacturing process. Down loss most often occurs at the seams, usually through needle holes created during the garment's construction. However, it can also happen directly through the outer fabric itself. Sometimes, sharp feather quills penetrate the weave.
Down loss is typically more pronounced in new items and decreases after some use.
The majority of the filling in down products consists of down. A smaller percentage, around 10%, is feathers. These have sharp quills that can penetrate even the tightest weaves. Manufacturers have rigorous quality control mechanisms to ensure that production-related needle holes are as small as possible and that down loss is minimized. Down loss is more noticeable in dark fabrics than in lighter ones.
If you notice a feather emerging from the fabric, try to pull it back in and gently massage the small hole created by the quill with your fingers. Avoid pulling out feathers that are poking through the seams and fabric, as this can cause more down to be pulled out and potentially enlarge the hole in the fabric.
During the design process, it is taken into account that down products will lose a certain amount of down over time. Normal down loss should not affect the insulation or performance of your item.
Unfortunately, for the reasons mentioned above, manufacturers generally do not accept moderate down loss as grounds for a complaint.
Note: also , the jacket is not waterproof but will have a degree of water repellency.
