great warmth and style, but slim fit
I live in the SF Bay Area and wear this coat A LOT. It's my favorite down item, in fact I love it so much I bought a second color. Very cute; I get compliments on it all the time. You can dress it up or down. The fit is quite slim - I normally wear a small but needed a medium to have enough room in the shoulders. I loved it so much I bought a second color.

great, but be prepared for a slim fit
i absolutely love this jacket, but it was a little slimmer fitted than i expected. i have the down sweater vest and jacket in a size small, and so i ordered the fiona in a size small as well. however, unlike my sweater vest and jacket, the fiona was a bit snug in the shoulders. i might have gone with a medium if i had known this. but, i still love the lightness and warmth of the jacket.

Great Coat
I adore the Fiona. I love how lightweight it is - makes it easy to run around doing errands, walking the dogs, etc. I have Patagonia's Down Sweater as well, and this is the equivalent in a coat style, except that it is cut leaner and therefore looks more fashion-forward. The chanterelle color is beautiful - kind of cream/gray shade. There is no compression sack pocket like there is in the Down Sweater, which is kind of a bummer because I am less likely to travel with it. I am fine with wearing the coat alone down to about 15 degree weather. After that, I think that you need to use it as a mid-layer, maybe wearing a capilene 4 baselayer underneath and/or topping it with a trench shell, like the Rain Shadow Trench Coat. I use it with the Rain Shadow Trench during wet and cold days, and they fit perfectly together!
