Wish I'd Bought Two
I looked long and hard at down sweaters over New Year's, and snapped up one of these from the outlet. When it arrived I was surprised by the design, with stretch fabric panels under the arms and down the sides. Kind of a twist on the usual construction with baffles all the way around, but the more I thought about it the more I liked it.Bought it as a gift, but I and the recipient both commented on the great fit and long arms. (We're 6'+, and tend to get cheated by sleeve legnth on most purchases.)Adidas hit a home run with this one, I think, and at the price I seriously wish I'd have bought two!

Great fit but not very warm
I was very surprised by how not-warm this jacket turned out to be. As previous reviewers mentioned, there are lightweight stretch fleece panels on the sides and under the arms of this jacket. What you as a potential purchaser need to know is just how lightweight these panels are. Think thick cotton t-shirt material, not powerstretch fleece. Seriously, these panels let cold air in like they are open pit zips. Als

Great Cheap Down Jacket
Bought this jacket because I wanted a compresible down jacket for travel. I didn't know what to expect given the price and the brand but I am pleasantly surprised. It fits very well and looks fantastic. Its a lot less 'poofy' than the product images but that is just the nature of down jackets. I thought I was going to need a larger compression bag but thats not the case. I think I could get this jacket down to 20oz bottle sized if I really tried (I wear a Small). The jacket makes no claims that it is water proof so thats a down side. The tags say ClimaProof WInd. So I would say its wind proof but not rain proof. Not that big of a deal though since my rain shell fits over the jacket no problem since its not as bulky as I thought.Also REI says 70% goose down, the tags on the jacket say 80% goose down, and the zipped pull has a rubber thing with some feathers in it saying that its 70% duck down. So I have no idea the real specs on the jacket. Considering the price I guess I can't complain.
