There's much to see 14,000 feet up at the Chasm View bivy: a vertigo-inducing panorama of the Diamond and alpenglow over the Rockies. There's also chilly air in any season, and that's where the Patagonia Down Sweater for Women comes in. It delivers minimal weight, superb compressibility and high-loft warmth. The ripstop shell (1.4-oz 22-denier) with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish does more than look sharp: This mid-layer insulator is tear-resistant and windproof and made from 100% all-recycled polyester. Details include top-quality 800-fill-power goose down, an updated fit and styling, quilted-through construction, two exterior zippered pockets and a stretch-mesh interior chest pocket that doubles as a zippered stuff sack with carabiner clip-in loop. The Women's Down Sweater is an ultralight jacket with highly compressible down insulation and a windproof shell for cold mountain pursuits.
I love this thing!
Tried other big name brands of down sweaters on....none of them fit or looked as great at this one. 5'3, 135- size M was perfect. Zippers are great, arm movement is great, it's cute, toasty & comfortable. Sure to get mega-use out of it.
Awesome!
I am excited about my new down sweater. I had been looking at the down sweaters for over a year and finally bought one! I know it will be used a lot this winter as it is the perfect weight and the fit is good.
Best ever!
I just bought my second down sweater. In New England, it's great for fall outings, and keeping one (and now two) handy at home means I can set my thermostat at 60 and feel perfectly comfortable (as long as my socks are warm, too). The light weight makes it easy to wear and, if I haven't checked the weather thoroughly, I can pull the long sleeves over my hands to keep warm. I'll buy more.
