A great Jacket but not the Fitz Roy from years past
I got this jacket to replace a Fitz Roy from 2011/2012 that i melted in the dryer (dumb mistake). This jacket is great and has a similar fit and quality but they have made the jacket so it isn't nearly as warm. The Fitz Roy from 2011/12 had 3d baffles so there were no cold spots on the jacket and had an insulted flap along the zipper, so it wa... Read Mores super warm. This jacket is missing both of those features and just isn't nearly as warm. If i hadn't had the old version I might have a different opinion but haveing something to compare to it just isn't the same and doesn't provide the same warmth. Like i said it is a great jacket and high quality but it is closer to a loftier Down Sweater than the old version of the Fitz Roy.
Thank you so much for writing this review Casey! We are incredibly sorry to hear that this hoody was not warm enough. Please feel free to start your return at any time as we want you to be completely satisfied with your Patagonia products. In the meantime, please feel free to check out our [Men DAS Parka](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-das-belay-parka/85350.html?dwvar_85350_color=CLOO&cgid=root), as it offers a bit more warmth than our Fitz Roy Down Hoody.
Down jackets seem to have changed significantly in the last decade to seek lighter weights yet retain warmth. This jacket seems to fit that mold. I like it a lot, and the fit is roomy enough to wear with a couple of base layers. But these heavier down jackets aren't as warm and weatherproof as they used to be. Albeit, it's a great jacket ... Read Morethat'll get a lot of use for several years to come.
This jacket is warm and comfortable, with lots of pockets and a very handy "garage" space (inner open pocket). The zippers are smooth and easy to pull. I have worn in in below zero temps and it stands up to the Minnesota cold like a champ.
I love that this puffy has a shorter hem length than a lot of other jackets in this category which helps minimize having to constantly lift the jacket to access pants pockets.
The Fitz Roy comes filled with a generous amount of down which is right in the sweet spot between down hoody and full on down parka which is perfect for most cold weather s... Read Morecenarios.
This coupled with the jacket having a efficient cut that isn't too baggy or slim makes this a perfect down Winter piece for almost all conditions.
The only downsides for me is the shell fabric which is really thin and will feel thin to the touch and the last downside was the fit of the jacket around my waist which I think should be cut a little wider.
Other than that the jacket has tons of pockets, great snug wrist cuffs and a simple one pull adjustment hood.
Next year I would like to see this jacket with a slightly thicker face fabric and looser fit around the waist.
Fantastic layer for cold days whether you just need to go start the car, are layering up in the backcountry, need that emergency warmth, or wanna sit in the snow and watch the stars.
Very high quality. Super warm. My only critique is I wish it came with matching repair stickers as these puffy jackets tend to get torn up. Thanks Patagonia!
The fit was great as a 61 and growing maybe an inch longer but definitely perfect at this height now. The color is true to picture and the cuffs and details are spit on
The new mens XL Fitz Roy that I just bought is a full 6 1/2 ounces lighter than the one I bought 3-4 years ago. When I put it on it was immediately noticeable that it was not as heavy and wearing it outside, not nearly as warm. But it sure wasnt any less expensive. The new one also didnt come with a stuff sac and it only has one inside pocket and m... Read Morey old one has a stuff sac and two inside pockets. I guess I just feel like its equivalent to the 11.5 ounce soda instead of the 12 ounce soda that soda companies pulled on consumers some years back: a way to make more money by delivering a cheaper product but charging the same. I guess I just feel a little duped because I thought I was getting an equivalent jacket to the one I already have and that is definitely not the case. Obviously this is only an issue because I have an older model to compare the new one to but I definitely didnt get the product I was expecting and its also not warm enough for my uses. I will be returning it.
Hey Charles, thank you for the review. We're very sorry to hear in your disappointment with the Fitz Roy Down Hoody. We double checked our database to see what changes have been made, and the last different Fitz Roy was the parka from Fall of 2019. That parka was actually 30 percent lighter, with less down, and it was a bit more affordable because of that. We're thinking you might have had a different jacket originally, and we'd be happy to help you narrow down what it was. Please reach out to our [customer service team](https://help.patagonia.com/s/?_gl=1*19cxxjg*_ga*MTE3MzgxOTU4OS4xNjQ3NTMxMTc0*_ga_1SYPSJZYJ5*MTY3MzAzMDM3MC4zOTguMS4xNjczMDMzMTAzLjAuMC4w) to proceed.

Bring back the old version
I originally purchased the Fitz Roy jacket in 2019 and loved it. I decided to replace it this year but was disappointed to find that the design has changed. Much less insulation and overall feels like it is cheaply made. Yes, it is also cheaper in price but it has lost its purpose for me. Please bring back the previous version which was great. I wi... Read Morell be returning the new version and looking for something warmer.
Thank you so much for writing this review and we are very sorry to hear that this purchase led to a return. We will make sure to pass along your feedback to our Product Design Team. In the meantime, if you are looking for something a little warmer, we would recommend checking out our [Men's Reversible Silent Down Fleece Jacket](https://www.patagonia.ca/product/mens-reversible-silent-down-fleece-jacket/20670.html?dwvar_20670_color=CNBR&cgid=root)!
I waited to write this review for quite some time, until I had enough experience with the jacket. I think the design, features, and fit are well though out. The construction is great and it packs down well. It functions as a belay and expedition parka for here in Colorado. My biggest complaint is the amount of down fill in the arms. The insulation ... Read Morein the arms is not adequate for the weight of this jacket. I own other down parkas from other brands that fill the same niche (and cost less) that have significantly more down fill in the arms and ultimately keep my arms warmer. It should be noted that this problem does not extend to the torso. But this is a disappointing oversight on Patagonia's part.
Hi Dylan! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the hoody. There is less insulation in the arms to give greater freedom of mobility. That said, we appreciate this feedback and we'll share it with our design team. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Super warm! My fiancé loves it
My fiancé loves it! We have had pretty cold weather lately, so hes been wearing it around the house before we get our fire going and out shoveling the deck. Hes a ski patroller and bought it to wear it on particularly cold days on the mountain, but its been getting daily wear since it arrived.
Very pleased with this purchase. After much deliberation I settled on this jacket because it's the warmest non-technical jacket on offer. I am using this as an urban winter coat and it gets cold in NYC - I can attest that the jacket is warm. I enjoy the cut and the low weight. I appreciate that it sits lower and so keeps your pelvis and behind... Read More warmer than waist sited pieces. Plenty of pockets. So far no complaints.
Reason for purchase: wildlife photography with long hours of wind chill near Alaska's Beaufort Sea. Summary: deep warmth in a compressable package (fits in a rollaboard). Zero wind penetration. Easily adjustable waist and hood cinch with gloves. Repelled blowing snow and ice crystals. Deep chest pockets for quick in-and-out items. The baffle n... Read Moreeck design when hood is raised is effective for stopping upper body chill. Hood is expansive and fits better with a polar fleece beanie. Interior and exterior texture is silky smooth and slides well over mid layers.
"Basin Green" color is subdued and attractive. Except for climbers, hand pockets are high and uncomfortable to find. Verdict: world class design, function, and quality for cold and windy conditions.
This puffy is great but I wish the hood had adjustment strings in the front. It is very warm but the single adjustment in the back makes it hard to keep your face warm if its windy. Front hood strings and a small baffle around the neck would increase head warmth a lot.
While guiding fisherman in the drift boat or kenneling bird dogs weather can get BAD in a hurry. This down fleece is my go to when temperatures get sub freezing. I stay nice and warm, dry and comfortable.
Its perfect for staying inclement weather, or staying warm around a campfire drinking whisky on a sub zero night.
This puffy was a great purchase. It's incredibly light and packable and feels like a sleeping bag when I have it on. It is so nice to throw on after a day a skiing, climbing, really any sort of outdoor activity when it's a little colder out. I'm able to put it on with out worrying about layers underneath and maintain a very comfortab... Read Morele temperature. Quality zippers as well; both the main zipper and pocket zippers are super easy to operate, even with cold hands. Awesome product!
Just what I was looking for to warm up after skiing. Pockets are in good positions and have amble room. Will be using this on a trek in Nepal in the fall. Always great products and always great service.
Great jacket, but needs to have more down around neck. Also, should be able to tighten hood if you dont wear with helmet,. Perhaps extra/ alternate tightening cord?
PS. Also, threads at end of inner sleeve around wrist of elastic fray easily for some reason.
This is a great jacket. It's pretty well thought out in terms of placement of pockets, fit, and quality. I've had a lot of down jackets and I'd put this in the top tier of quality and overall fit and finish. I'm 5'9" and run 190 pounds, 44" blazer/jacket size, muscular build (aka: no longer built like a competitiv... Read Moree endurance athlete, but still race bikes, run, and XC ski) and now have a touch of extra love around my belt line (just being honest). I find the large to be a great size. Not too tight, especially chest where some run tight for me. I can layer 2 pieces under, but find that a shell over the top can be a little tight depending on the style (this is a puffer, after all). It's ideal in cold, dry conditions. I'll buy more as this one wears out. Thanks, Patagonia.
Ive been looking for a wearable sleeping bag type jacket & this is it. So warm, so light, & super comfy. I can layer under & over it as needed. Its the best.
This jacket has been great. I wear it as my outer layer for resort skiing in Colorado. Can be easily layered under. I also find I grab it on sub 25 degree days around town. It's the warmest jacket I own and has been good with layers sub 0.
Im picky about my gear and Im a sucker for good designs. This jacket represents a high water mark for me in the puffy jackets Ive owned (several), and is one of my all-time favorite pieces of equipment.
I really appreciate Patagonias attention to environmental and social issues in their manufacturing. I love that this jacket is an industry leader ... Read Morein down sourcing, sewing labor practices, and recycled fabricsand I love it even more that I can support those practices without settling for second-rate design and build quality.
This styles balance between light weight and warmth is just right for me. This is one of the lightest styles I know of that will hold its own in temperatures consistently below freezing. In the places that I tend to play, if its above freezing then getting wet is more likely and I opt for synthetic insulation.
The fabric choices, pocket configuration, hood / collar pattern, and adjustability are right on the mark. I personally could get by with fewer external pockets, but they do provide some extra convenience at minimal cost. The Internal pockets are great.
I especially like the elasticized cuffs on this jacket! I am a shorter and broader build, so jackets that fit me in the shoulders tend to be long in the sleeves. With so many jackets using elasticized cuffs, I struggle to find styles that work well to keep sleeves above my wrists. These cuffs are a different design and the feel and function is a game-changer.
Many so-called belay jackets like this include a two-way zipper. The other three climbing-focused puffy jackets in Patagonias catalog have this feature. Im not sure why they decided not to use a two-way zipper on this jacket, but I wish it had one. This is a minor gripe and in practice I sometimes forget to notice or care but Im not aware of any meaningful trade-off in using zippers like this, so Id prefer to have one.
Hey Andrew, thank you so much for taking the time to provide such a detailed review! This will be hugely helpful to other customers, and to our product designers. We're so happy that you're so happy! It sounds like you're putting our Fitz Roy Down Hoody to great use. And we're stoked that you support our philosophy! We'll definitely pass along your thoughts about a two-way zipper, too. Cheers!

Almost Great
I really enjoy this jacket. It's super lightweight and very well made. There are 2 issues for me. One, Patagonia removed some of the down from the previous version. Why they would do this to a winter coat that's supposed to be super warm is beyond me. Bummer. Second, the hood could extend further over the face, to block wind and snow more... Read More effectively. Other than that, I'm really enjoying it. It's like wearing a feather.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, John. We did revise the Fitz Roy Down Hoody in response to customer feedback to make it lighter in weight and lower cost. We're always looking for input from our customers, so your thoughts are very valuable!

Excellent jacket
I wear this with a t-shirt underneath and nothing else in the middle of new england winters. It's incredibly light and warm.
The fit was correct aa sized. The jacket is very warm ie what I needed for the Windy City. The hood is made to accommodate a helmet so its rather large. I wonder why this type jacket would be made to accommodate a helmet in that its not really a ski parka.
We appreciate your feedback on the fit, warmth and features. This parka was designed for use in an alpine environment when a climbing helmet would be essential. If you prefer a down hoody with a hood that has lower volume, please reach out to a Patagonia-owned store, or our Customer Service team to return or exchange it for a [different insulated parka](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/mens-down-jackets-vests). That said, this parka will certainly keep you toasty warm in the Windy City. Thanks for your review, John!

Fitzroy Gem
I have wanted this jacket forever! It's everything I'd hoped for. Great weight/warmth, super comfy, soft, 4 functional Zip pockets, and technical/well planned hood. I get compliments all the time, so it must look good on ME!
This is a high quality down jacket. It is well built and very warm. Since the jacket is packable it is perfect for mountaineering or a cold camping trip.
Note: you do not need to size up for a belay parka fit! I got the large (I'm typically a medium) to use as a belay parka and I could have likely gotten away with a medium. Great, relatively affordable down parka!
I own 4 Patagonia down jackets and this one is my favorite. Really warm but also really ergonomically dialed in. You never feel confined in this jacket and I have worn it down to 10 degrees and this jacket was perfect for conditions. I highly recommend this jacket for conditions 25 degrees and below.
... and I work in the outdoors. This is the best coat I have ever owned and in truth, I didn't want this color but I was late to order and green was what was left in my size, but when I received it I was instantly psyched I received this color.

This is my second Fitzroy down hoodie. I have been wearing Patagonia outdoor clothing almost exclusively since 1986. I am a loyal customer and a huge fan of Patagonia for many reasons. Unfortunately my first jacket I had for one year and the material got caught up in one of the zippered pockets (The pocket that allows you to stuff the jacket) while... Read More I was out in the back country for six days in subfreezing temperatures this late fall/early winter. I took some pliers to open the zipper and it ripped the material and a lot of down fell out. Patagonia was awesome and replaced the jacket. I love the fit and the warmth. I spend a lot of time in the winter high up in the mountains in Colorado back country skiing, climbing and hunting. I use my gear a lot and I am fairly hard on it. That said, I understand the importance of light gear but when the cost is durability I would prefer a little extra beef. I hold onto all of my Patagonia gear as long as possible until its completely 100% worn out. I do my own repairs as best I can to keep them going and going. My request is to strike a balance between lightness and durability. Personally, I think the ultralight movement is a little too far gone when it lacks sufficient durability. Not all of us are buying outdoor gear where grams actually make a real difference . I think Striking the balance between durability and reasonable lightness is ethically and environmentally responsible and important to me. The jacket is awesome but needs to be handled with great care, As many down products do. I would recommend this jacket and IT IS delicate.
Thank you Patagonia for being such an awesome company. Im with you for the long-haul
I know some folks who have previous generations of this piece and I have to say, this one feels cheap in comparison when considering the fabric used. Fit was as expected.
The jacket will litteraly rip from sticking your arm in your jacket pocket, the plastic zipper rubbing against the sleeve is enough to start causing the outer fabric to frey on the very first walk i took it on, in addition feathers leak like crazy. If your a serious dirtbagging climber, stick with rab. Patagonia is overpriced garbage
I bought this jacket because I don't really like the tapered cut of the females puffies. I LOVE THIS JACKET. Toasty, light and comfortable.The orange color is rich.
Id say for the price, its ok, although; the feathers come out fairly easy & the zippers get caught sometimes. I still cant get one fixed, built to last etc.
This is my first Patagonia jacket, and thus far I've been very impressed by its comfort and warmth. I recently wore it while visiting coastal Maine in December, and the coat kept me comfortable despite blustery conditions. Another feature I'm impressed with is the collar design that hugs your neck nicely even with the hood off. The jacket... Read More is pricey, but well worth it in my opinion!!
The two issues I have are a matter of taste not quality. The jacket is a bit too long, but for others it will provide essential coverage.

I had been studying down jackets for a few weeks and had come down to the Fitz Roy, the Patagonia down sweater hoody and the Patagonia Macro puff I decided to go with this.

Read Moree more happier with my decision after receiving it. I am a hiker and photographer and live in Maine and Massachusetts and during the winter there can be some freezing days. I had the hoody on with only a t-shirt underneath in 20 degree temps early in the morning to catch the sunrise and I was sweating. A great purchase that is very high quality and extremely packable as well as Im always on the move.
Jacket is well built and very warm, waist bungee is located towards the back of the jacket so a bit tough to adjust on the fly. Baffles used to be box baffles instead of stitch through and would have liked draft tubes behind the zipper instead of storm flap. Otherwise fantastic jacket
This is my second Fitz Roy hoody. I got the Hot Amber last year for Christmas from my soul mate, loved it and bought one in Black for more of a (formal) looking jacket. Since I got the black one my lady got one in black to match. They feel like you crawled into a sleeping bag so light & warm.
I love my Fitz Roy down jacket. It is super light but oh so warm! I have been out in some windy conditions hiking 14ers and never get cold. It is easy to pack and takes up next to no room in my bag. I would but this jacket again!
I travel a lot and need maximum warmth, minimum space. Down Sweater wasnt warm enough, so I took it up to the next level. Instant warming when i put it on. Very packable. Top notch!
Got it at the tail end of winter so I can't tell you how far below freezing it can comfortably go, but it seems pretty warm. I'm 5'10" and 190 lbs, and the L is just about right. Definitely room for a couple layers underneath if needed.
Saw someone else remark that the pockets seemed awkwardly high. I don't find this to be... Read More true, for what that's worth. Yes, they are maybe an inch above where I would expect them to be, but the reason they are placed there seems to be to allow for a substantial "drop" inside the pocket. This means that objects in the pockets aren't likely to fall out even if you don't use the zipper. For me, this is perfect.
don't get me wrong, if you're looking for a warm parka that's also packable then this will do the job. the hood fits pretty well even without a helmet on. the fit is perfect for adding another layer underneath. the colors are nice.

This is my 2nd Fitz Roy. The first was the 2019 version which I loved. It was a plush high loft and super warm parka. Patagonia should have left the formula alone.

Only downside is the the absence of the box wall design and the face fabric is thin.

This is my 2nd Fitz Roy Down Hoody; I bought my first in early 2019. While I love the cut, fit, and performance of the 2021 version, I couldn't help but notice the difference in the overall loft and removal of the down 'tubes' running down the front zipper, featured in the 2019 version.

Looking forward to seeing where Patagonia takes it in years to come.
The jacket is comfortable and warm, and the hood works well. Now for the problem: One of its interesting features is the ability to turn it inside out through the left lower pocket and end up in a stuff sack. The sack is closed by a zipper. This means that the zipper on the left front pocket has a pull fob on both sides, one for normal use and the ... Read Moreother to close the sack. The design of this inside zipper means that in normal use the zipper frequently "eats" the fabric on the inside of the pocket and thus gets stuck. All of the other pockets on the jacket only have a pull fob on the outside, and the inside is designed to avoid getting stuck on the fabric. Therefore I suggest that the zipper on the inside of the left front pocket should be redesigned to reduce the fabric entanglement problems.
Got this for Xmas gift and could not be happier. I live in Colorado and go for walks in mid teens and 20s with just a T-shirt under . Coat is cozy and light too , and feels great when you wear it.

Its a very warm jacket. Its lightweight as it uses very light materials that, in my opinion, are prone to tear very easily. But, overall, its a great option to keep you warm in cool and mild-cold weather.

The collar works well too. If you are not using the hood, the collar is like a coat without a hood, and when you need the hood you are all set. I can also see this coat used as a pillow when out camping & like all the coats I use; when I am over heating, the coat works well as a scarf draped around myself! This also is my favorite zipper Patagonia puts on their coats.
Future request colors, bring back the fun greens!
The above colors are all boring, except for crimson, which is just ugly. Bring back true red, and a blue. This is a great parka, very warm. However, cold air can be felt at the inner elbow creases.
