I was impressed by the quality of jacket By Sierrawild from Aspen Dell, CA on 10/04/2007 Pros: Durable, Lightweight, Warm Best Uses: Cold Weather, High Altitude Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was very impressed by the quality of materials and construction of this jacket. We also have a Cloudveil down jacket. This is slightly heavier, but the outer fabric is more durable. Fall weather brings freezing overnight temperatures to the Sierras and this jacket fits the bill. [...] has great deals.
How did I not know about this brand?!! By Shameless Gear Snob from Northern, VT on 09/24/2007 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Warm Best Uses: Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My only regret in buying this jacket is that it's only September and too hot outside to wear it. I am a terrible gear snob with an overdeveloped sense of loyalty to brands like Mountain Hardwear, Marmot and The North Face. This jacket is absolutely in that league and you should not hesitate to buy Sherpa Adventure Gear when looking for premiere quality. I was lured in by the absurdly low clearance price on a 750 fill down jacket that is replacing a synthetic-fill TNF jacket that was not quite warm enough for the soul-chilling, wet, wind and cold of Vermont.
This jacket is well cut and the attention to detail is outstanding. Extremely light, fleece lined pocket and chin, extra-stiff draft guard that won't snag in the zipper (nice not to struggle with a fouled zipper when it's really cold). One gear snob to another, BUY IT. It's 750 fill DOWN in a beautifully made jacket!! Don't hesitate just because you are not familiar with the brand (if you are, you probably bought it already). Quality is as good or better than the brands you know and the company has a great mission. Everyone who has seen it has been blown away by how nice it is and how little I paid. Comes with a stuff sack. Some would prefer that it stuff into its own pocket... whatever. No need for a hood. They make nice parkas if that's what you want. It's supposed to be lightweight above all - with as many nice features as can be added without adding ounces. The water resistant coating is nice for those times when you might get caught downtown in the snow or sleet without a shell - usually a feature found in MUCH more spendy jackets.
In short, I was willing to spend more if it would have bought me more. I was looking for a premiere-quality jacket and this offered it at an incredible price. I would have had to pay twice as much for comparable quality and features (or less) from a better known brand and that would have been clearance prices!! It won't be long before this brand is recognized for being on par with Patagucci, TNF, MH, Arc'teryx, Marmot, and the others (no disrespect to those companies intended - all great brands whose products I own and love and for which I happily paid a premium).

By Chip from Steamboat Springs, CO on 09/11/2007 Pros: Comfortable, Great Design Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: A removable hood would be nice, and if it stowed into its own pocket.
