Guides Down Hooded Jacket - Men's

Dissapointing Loft

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Loft was disappointing and fit was off. Tag on the one that I returned listed the fill as 700 Fill 80% recycled down and 20% Kapok Flower down. Would've been nice if the product listing indicated that the fill was not 100% down. More of a fashion piece than actual gear. I see why this has been significantly discounted. Hood had a great fit and was super cozy.

Nice, comfy jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs with a 41.5-in chest and a 31-in waist. I'm typically between MEDIUM and LARGE sizes, but bought the MED of the Guides jacket base off other reviews, and it fit wonderfully. Just enough room to fit over a mid-weight fleece and not too baggy around the midsection.

Great outer layer for frigid northern winters

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this jacket last fall because I wanted a heavier down jacket, a kind of one and done layering system for the colder winter days. Works great for its purpose, I don’t think I ever got cold wearing this thing, often with only a fleece on underneath and in sub 10 F conditions. Unfortunately a seam on the chest broke about two months into use, not a big deal it was easy to patch but I would’ve appreciated a bit more durability from the jacket honestly, that’s why it only gets four stars for me. Would still recommend, great winter coat.

Wife doesn’t like it

Needed a replacement for my winter Patagonia jacket and this is ok

Very warm jacket I bought for cold belays or hanging around the campfire. I was looking for more warmth while not moving and this jacket suits that perfectly. What you gain in warmth you lose in mobility with this jacket, tech wise it is very basic. The fit is somewhat boxy making it not very suitable for wearing while climbing. For alpine climbing days in the mountains, I will still be wearing My Rab Alpine Microlight Down or Arcteryx Cerium SV and leaving this jacket in the car to come back to and snuggle at the end of the day.

Good purchase

Love the insulated adjustable hood. Ever so puffy!

A Winner!

Thanks for another great product. Love that it is both lightweight and toasty warm!

Just what I was looking for! And is was on-sale.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice jacket. I can't be happier. Perfect amount of warmth to weight for my backpacking gear. It has all the features I was looking for. I'll be wearing this later this year as I complete the Northern sections of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Not worth the money

I wasn’t prepared for a jacket with mesh sleeves and no filler, as well as 4 or 5 bands of down in the back. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be that warm, just looking at it.
