The perfect warmth for just about everything, the classic Down Sweater is lightweight and windproof with a 100% recycled polyester ripstop shell and 800-fill-power Traceable Down (goose down traced from parent farm to apparel factory to help ensure the birds that supply it are not force-fed or live-plucked).
Patagonia says
Everyone else flocks to warm rock, relishing the T-shirt weather in the sun, but you’re busy chasing early-season snow and ice. Our Down Sweater’s featherweight, superbly compressible warmth is for you. The 100% polyester ripstop shell on this down jacket does more than look sharp; it’s snow-shedding and windproof. Details include 800-fill-power Traceable Down (European goose down traced from parent farm to apparel factory to help ensure the birds that supply it are not force-fed or live-plucked), stabilized with quilted-through construction, a contoured fit, a drawcord hem that tightens from inside the zippered handwarmer pockets and an interior chest pocket that doubles as a zippered stuffsack with a carabiner clip-in loop. Nylon-bound elastic cuffs seal in heat, and the DWR (durable water repellent) finish sheds moisture.
Our Verdict
Patagonia's Women's Down Sweater is a super comfortable, highly practical down jacket. With 800-fill-power Down, a durable, windproof outer shell made with 100% recycled polyester ripstop and some simple, practical features it's no wonder this is known as a Patagonia 'classic'.
This is a pretty simple, no frills jacket. It's not the lightest by any stretch of the imagination but the shell fabric gives you a hard wearing, durable jacket over the potential weight savings. With two decent hand-warmer pockets and an internal chest pocket, which doubles as a stuff sack, there's plenty of storage. The jacket also has a simple drawcord hem and high collar for keeping out the elements.
