I have a very old Womens Down Sweater Jacket, purchased in 2011, and sadly, it has reached the point that I need to purchase a new one.
Imagine my surprise when I went to the product page to find that the new DS Jackets have moved the small chest located zippered pocket from the OUTSIDE of the jacket to the INSIDE!
On my existing jacket the loca... Read Moretion of this little pocket was perfection. No need to unzip your jacket, or unbuckle your backpack harness, just reach up, unzip. With this new INSIDE the jacket location, all that ease is erased. I used this little pocket for a tissue in cold weather, lip balm, or eye drops. One quick zip and I could access these necessities while on the go not even having to look down to access it. No More!!
The new location inside the jacket will require more time and energy. I ask, Why change a good thing?
I have loved my old jacket and it has been around the world with me and served me incredibly well against light chill or temps down to 50 degrees by itself, and been light and easy to wear and carry. I am not sure I will purchase the new version of this jacket with this pocket relocation, as that little outside chest pocket was one of the things I loved about the DS Jacket.
Patagonia, please bring this feature back to the OUTSIDE of the jacket!!
Next time I will buy xxs since this one is too big and baggy in the body and sleeves are too long. I will wear this one over sweaters and multi layers. I like that I can tighten the cord at the coat bottom to keep out cool air. I roll the cuffs up 2 inches and they are perfect. It is so lightweight and cozy. Love my coat. I believe the xxs will fit... Read More me more like a sweater which will be great for San Diego.
Great product. However with that being said, several darker jackets have faded. I have a neighbor whose jacket and coat are both brown. When I said I was looking for a brown Patagonia jacket, she said the jacket and the coat were black when she bought them. I told her to take them back to the Patagonia store but then I did and was told there was no... Read Morething they would do about.
Hi Julie, yes, if your jacket does fade you are welcome to return it under our warranty. You can do that at a Patagonia-owned store, by reaching out to our Customer Service Team, or via our [online return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) process.

Disappointed
I have 3 of the old style women's down sweaters which I have bought over the year and love them, but my favorite is worn and discolored. I ordered a replacement when I saw they are carrying the same blue. Why did Patagonia mess with perfection? The new style is longer in the torso, which is ok, but there is way too much fabric in the chest and... Read More upper back. The real deal breaker for me was the sleeve length. The sleeves are at least 2-3 inches longer than my old jacket. The overall look is sloppy and unflattering. Sadly, I am returning this item. Patagonia has always been my go to brand, but I guess I need to rethink this.
Hi Susan, we're very sorry to hear that the Down Sweater isn't meeting your expectations concerning fit. Please be assured that our Design Team does take the time to go over our reviews, so your feedback will be heard.

Sleeves way too long
I have loved my previous down sweater so hard that it needed to be replaced. The new one I purchased had to be returned because the sleeves come all the way down past the end of my pinky fingers - and I have long arms!
This coat is very lightweight, stylish, and warm. I am 5 foot 1 and 99 lbs with shortish arms and the XXS fits well. The sleeves are a tiny bit long on me, but not as long as I thought they would be based on other reviews. The shoulders and hips fit well. I have been waiting for them to come out with a yellow color and I absolutely love the cosmic ... Read Moregold! I am excited for it to get cold outside so I can wear it.
I love this jacket, but it would look much nicer if the logo was more discreet. Thats my favorite thing about my silent down jacket. I wish I could get the same style with the hidden logo in a lighter jacket like this one.
I purchased this jacket in XS approximately 8 months ago. I already own 6 jackets in the prior version (the version just before this version was introduced). I absolutely love the prior version. It fits perfectly and I can wear a down vest underneath without it being tight or uncomfortable. It is extremely well made.
I do not love this new version... Read More. I am fairly small - 5'5'' and 112 lbs. The new version is larger on the top, slightly smaller at the hip area and slightly shorter. My hips are approximately 33 1/2 ". While it fits okay with a light layer, I cannot comfortably wear a down vest underneath because the hip area is smaller, and the jacket is somewhat shorter. In addition to the fit issues, the construction and materials are just not as good as the prior version. The lining is thinner, the shoulders and arms have changed, and the draw sting design has also changed. I will not be purchasing any additional jackets made in this version. I really wish that they would return to the prior version - both the fit and design. Probably not going to happen though. I am glad I bought several of the prior version.
Thank you for the review Marsha. We did make some design changes to this jacket in Fall '22, we're sorry to hear they're not working for you. We recommend keeping an eye on our [Worn Wear website](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/shop/search?q=down%20sweater) for past season iterations.

I bought this for my wife. I have one too. It is quite warm, works outside in winter in the NW on all but rainy days. And we are old people, so we can wear in the house in winter.
I put the detailed review in the box above. It is cheating to read ahead an a quiz to see whats coming. :-)
I love both the quality and green color of this jacket, however, it is a bit snug around the bottom. If I try to layer anything under it, it would be too tight. I wear a size 8 or 10 and am 5 ' 7'', 155 lbs. I would exchange it, but the shoulders and arms fit perfectly, so sadly I need to return it.
Hi Ginger, we're sorry to hear that fit was an issue with the Down Sweater. In the future, if you do have trouble with sizing, please don't hesitate to take advantage of our [complimentary exchanges](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) in order to grab a different size.

Très chaud
Répond exactement à mon besoin et la couleur est magnifique!
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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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 worried I'd look like a blue marshmallow, but I don't think I do. The cut, however, just doesn't quite work. Based on reviews and Patagonia's suggestion to si... Read Moreze up for a relaxed fit, I ordered a Medium and it was huge on me, even though I have broad shoulders compared to the rest of my body. I was able to exchange for a Small (my regular size) which fits perfectly everywhere except the hips, where it's a snug. The drawcord hem feels like a joke -- I can barely fit the jacket around me completely expanded. I also wish it was longer in the back, but that's just my preference. I kept it since it was on super sale, but just feel like this could be so amazing with a few tweaks.
No matter where I bring this jacket in my bipolar city weather, its always exactly the right thickness to keep me comfortable.

I love this jacket, it was just what I was looking for. I have the Nano Puff hoody, but it was just not keeping me warm enough.

It's a very flattering cut! Bonus!
It's a nice muted lavender color. The coat is warm outdoors yet comfortable enough to wear in the car as well. The fit is not bulky and looks slim fitting.
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.
We're sorry the fabric and fit were off, but we really appreciate your detailed feedback. It's so helpful for our design team. Thanks for taking the time to send us your review, Julie!

Cozy!
Jacket is lightweight and perfect for a walk when its 35-40 degrees. Love it!
This sweater is light as a feather, but oh so warm! It fits snug but looks good even though I don't usually like form fitted jackets. I love the fact that I hardly realize it is on. I bought the blue tones, which are my favorite colors, so I love wearing it all the more. Being that our Northern Minnesota winters drag on well into end of April,... Read More I think I'll be able to wear this sweater at least until mid-May if not longer. The material is soft and doesn't make a lot of swishing noise when walking and swinging my arms. I highly recommend it!
My family buys a lot of Patagonia, it's pricy but great gear and we watch for sales. We know it has a slim fit, which has always bothered me but I purchase accordingly and often times need to go with another brand. I have an older down sweater in a size M and it fits me great. After reading reviews on the new cut I ordered a Large. The large i... Read Mores too tight on my hips and is large and bulky in the back. I am disappointed! I hope Patagonia will look into options for people who are not tall and slim but still athletic and want good gear. I'm a pretty average sized woman, I wear a size 8-10 pant. 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.

I bought this one purely on color. I still have the first one I bought in 2008. It's my barn one. Insulation pieces from Patagonia? I think I have them all. They are all "the best". 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.

Love this jacket!
This is the perfect weight for cool weather and layering for really cold temperatures. It is lightweight and easy to pack.
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.
Due to some other reviews regarding the redesign of the down sweater I was concerned about the fit. (I have 2009 down sweater, that I still love.) But when it arrived, it fit perfectly. (I'm 5.3 and 105.) And, in addition to being snow and cold ready, it's quite beautiful. So, I'm going to wear my new Dusky Brown jacket over a long, ... Read Moresilky dress this weekend. Happy!
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.
This jacket is great for an apple shape. If you have a wide ... Read Morehip shape, it might be too tight in that area. Definitely not for pear shapes.
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
-155#
Short torso
Size 6 jeans

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.

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.

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.

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.
