Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket - ClimaShield® Insulated (For Women)

I thought this would be perfect to throw in my pack for when the temperatures drop at night and in the mountains. Unfortunately, while the body of the jacket fit well, the arms were gigantic. I could almost fit another one of me in each of the arm holes! The problem is not so much length, but the actual diameter of the sleeves. I am not sure what woman wearing a size small has the biceps necessary to fill out these sleeves, but I would suggest steroids would be required for it to work for me. This is disappointing because a friend has the newer hooded version of this jacket and it is great. I was sad, but it's a return.

This is great light weight insulation.

Plan to take this winter camping

Great product. [...] No cons.

Good fit, though not meant to be snuggy/sexy/cute. But it's practical and inoffensive. The one annoyance is that the collar seems to not be long enough to lie down when unzipped, but when the jacket is zipped up all the way, the collar keeps hitting my chin. That hasn't happened before with other Patagonia jackets.

I was nervous to get any synthetic insulation that wasn't PrimaLoft, however I was proven wrong and this jacket is proof. Climashield is just as good as Primaloft in my opinion. The day I got this coat I went on a boat tour in Juneau, Alaska. We went through windy fjords and up close to glaciers and icebergs. This coat was a great convinence for the weather. The sun was shining and the cold wind was blowing. I was neither hot or cold i was just right! Patagonia does no wrong...
