I am an avid bird watcher and always lifting binoculars up to my eyes, and this movement was constructed in XL.The XXL is a bit big on me and baggy in the back and chest, but I needed the larger size to fit my hip area and also so the shoulders arent as tight.I am using this down sweater solely as a mid-layer so it doesnt matter to me that the XXL isnt as fitted looking. The XXL was warmer than the XL, too, prob bc larger size capturing more air to warm. I wouldnt want to wear this as an outer layer anyway, wind blows right through it.But when worn under another jacket/shell, this down sweater is so so cozy. It is now my warmest coziest mid-layer piece. Worn over a Smartwool marino top, and under a Marmot Avant jacket, I was toasty warm in Central Oregon high desert temps 5-20 F, and had to unzip most of my layers as approaching 20 and above midday when sun out. The day before getting the down sweater I wore the same outfit but with a thick handmade wool sweater from Ireland as the midlayer, in 5 F, and I was okay, not cold but also not warm, not feeling warm cozy like sun glowing filling me up. All days long with the down sweater felt like I was wearing a warm hug; core so warm and hugged, like wearing a heating pad! My partner wore it a while and agrees its like wearing a warm hug, and told me to write in Review that this would be a great jacket for people who dont get enough Connection/touch and feel lonely, bc it will continuously hug you! It feels good emotionally to wear it!However, worn over Smartwool and under a Arcturyx rain jacket in raining 40-50 F on Oregon coast, it isnt warm enough, prob dampness in humid air might be getting into the down sweater and compromising its insulating abilities, even though no rain wet it. So not a jacket for PNW rainy westside.I bought the new updated 2022 version made with fishing nets nylon. I never owned the previous polyester version (which is still being sold in stores, so check the tag if yours has fishing net material nylon is the 2022 update). Bend REI store had the new 2022 update, even though the REI website says that they’re still selling the older polyester version.The new version is silky soft material, it feels wonderful to touch.Supposedly the update made it warmer, too.But the waist area is tight if you have hips (though it does have a drawcord at hip which is incomprehensible to me Why if theyre putting a means to tighten the hip, why dont they make the hip wider for the majority of women who have wider hips than waists? since narrower women would still be able to cinch it)? Wish theyd rethink this.People mention the long arms, and it does have very long arms, and they cant be pulled up to the elbow bc the elastic at wrist is too weak and doesnt stretch enough; this makes the jacket unwearable inside the house, and I wish theyd fix the elastic so that the sleeves could be pushed up the elbows and stay; but Im okay w length bc got it for outdoors, and love that my hands can tuck into the long sleeves and be kept warm from the down, so I prefer them long; and when wearing this sweater as a mid-layer under another jacket, the arms crunch up inside the shell mostly at the wrist, so the extra down at the wrist then keeps my hands warmer too. Im very glad this new version has extra long arms.Note: I also tried on the 2022 nano puff hoody in Cloudberry Orange the same day as this down sweater; nano puff fit great in size XL with plenty of room, but had so much extra midsection room that it looked bad on me, not flattering at all. Even though the down sweater is an XXL and still too large on my midsection, the cut is a lot more flattering than the nano puff. Unfortunately, Patagonia womens jackets arent cut for broader hips or shoulders. Wish that could be changed, since women without curvier hips and shoulders could easily wear the mens products.

Warm and comfortable. I'm 5'6" and 115 pounds and not very chesty. I initially chose a medium size, but after wearing it for a few days, found the chest area to billow out and the sleeves slightly too long. I exchanged it for a small, and it fits much better. Here's the weird thing though (and that's why this review is 4 stars instead of 5), and the REI clerk didn't have an answer for it--the sweater's inner pockets (not the zippered one for packing it) have corners cut out at the bottom. I can put my fingers completely through them. They're useless for holding items. The men's version of the same down sweater has pockets that are intact. This is really strange. Would love to find out what's up with that.

A couple of years ago, I bought two of these jackets in white. I liked the first one so much I bought another, just in case Patagonia stopped carrying it. I wore one of them daily all winter until I wore it out. I still wear the second one, but I would like one more because I travel a lot and will, one day, wear it out. The white was no longer available. The closest color was Birch, which does not appeal to me, it looks like dirty white. Also the collar a little higher. I am short, and the collar was too high and not comfortable. I hope you will bring the original Down Sweater back! My sister in law and a few friends loved my jacket and bought it. They, too, particularly liked it in white, so they did not buy it again.

Many things have petite sizes as options and pants come in longs but very hard to find tops, sweaters, jackets with a little longer proportions. Bravo Patagonia for giving us an option. Always considered one of your competitors my go to but will now be checking Patagonia options before buying! It probably would be helpful to have more details in your marketing and labels on jackets though. Maybe create a specific line thats made w longer proportions for your tall, thin customers which are prevalent consumers of outdoor gear or at least write on tags/descriptions that this product has longer sleeves or whatever is appropriate. I was fairly shocked that I really had to search to figure out what kind of down fill this jacket had.
I packed this one jacket for my 12 day trip to Argentina in their winter and do not regret it. It was light and small and kept me warm as i walked around Mendoza in 39 degrees even with no hat or gloves on. Simply amazing! Great for travel in cold climates without snow or rain. I wish i got the one with the hoodie. It isnt stylish or giving fashion points but it does a great job of keeping me warm with such high quality down filling. Im so impressed i had to write a review even though ive had this jacket in Southern California for over a year now. Its a great travel jacket bc it compacts so small and doesnt take up valuable luggage or backpack space! It may be too warm for 60 deg and up weather but great at 39-59 F.
I bought this jacket toward the end of last winter and kind of talked myself into it because I loved the color and the weight. Unfortunately, it just doesn't fit. I'm a small or medium in pretty much every brand and I got the medium. It just doesn't fit over my hips/behind and I'm constantly tugging it down. The chest is also huge so the whole thing puffs out and is super unflattering. I'm kicking myself that I didn't return it. I'm going to have to look for another option. I also bought an R1 and had the same problem with it being too long and too tight. (My old one in the same size fits perfectly.) Patagonia, not sure what your objectives have been in updating your garment shapes but they are not working for a lot of people.
I have worn the Down Sweater Jacket for years (more than one) and found it to be PERFECT in terms of style, warmth, and durability. Needless to say, I was dismayed to find on ordering a new one that the design has radically changed making what had been a trim, lightweight, surprisingly warm essential piece of my wardrobe into a boxy, puffy and very unflattering jacket that I had to return. The dolman set sleeves, besides being way too long, create a giant chest. I felt like the Michelin Man. The former design which had conventional set in sleeves with the seam at the shoulder created a trimmer, sleeker look.I hope the design team will consider restoring the old design. I see I am not the only one who has expressed this sentiment. I as well am not interested in the ... MoreI have worn the Down Sweater Jacket for years (more than one) and found it to be PERFECT in terms of style, warmth, and durability.

Please bring it back.I am a loyal Patagonia customer - believing in the mission of the company and the thought and care which goes into the sourcing and manufacturing of goods.
I really wish this wasnt the year I needed a new jacket. I wore my old Patagonia non-stop for the past 13 years. My new jacket just arrived and I am 100% in agreement with all others who said don't mess with a good thing. While I typically dont mind longer sleeves, these drive me a little crazy. The new cut overall is less than flattering on a female - tight hips and puffy chest make me constantly pull the jacket down. The jacket generally feels more plasticky. I get the recycling part, but perhaps not to the point where it diminishes the quality. I had every intention of purchasing two jackets in different colors this season, definitely not happening anymore. While I appreciate the suggestion you have made in previous posts, please do not send me to a used wear ... MoreI really wish this wasnt the year I needed a new jacket.

Id like my own brand new down sweater jacket that fits like a glove, just like my old jacked did. It was S size and perfect, S in the new version is entirely too tight, especially on the hips. I had to purchase a M this time around and its definitely no glove. I suppose I will deal with the jacket I have purchased. The main reasons Im writing this review are: 1) to encourage any new buyers to try this jacket on in person before purchasing; 2) to encourage the Design Team to listen to the loyal Patagonia client base and reverse the design changes; 3) to find out the purpose of the two inside pockets (?) (not sure if they ARE pockets because each has about 2-3 inch hole at the bottom, stuff will definitely fall out). Thank you for taking the time to read this, Patagonia team!
This is a huge XS! It’s so large, I thought it was a mismarked size “Small.”I have the 2021 version of the Down Sweater Hoodie in an XS, which fits perfectly.I’m 5’2”, and I have been buying XS Patagonia jackets that fit me for years: a Nano Puff Hoodie and Jacket, Triolet, Torrentshell, Insulated Torentshell, Fitz Roy Parka, etc.But the sleeves on this are ridiculously long for an XS, and the body is huge and sloppy. The previous model didn’t have all of the extra material and bulk, so it actually fit my body, while still leaving room for a light base layer. It was long enough to cover any top, was perfectly proportioned and comfortable.Please bring back an XS-sized Down Sweater that actually fits someone who wears a true XS size. There’s no way this could.I ... MoreThis is a huge XS!

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 location 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 ... MoreI 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 location of this little pocket was perfection.

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!!
