Voted 4/5

This is a well rounded product.

Likes: Rugged construction, I have no worries shoving it into my pack, or wearing it with a heavy pack, harness, etc...
Compressibility is pretty decent for 650 down.

Dislikes: No pit zips, although descriptions on the web, and even the tag that came on the jacket said it had pit zips.
Shoulders are a little broad compared to other jackets and parkas that I own (looks like I have shoulder pads on).
No stuff sack!
A little heavy - I would prefer higher quality down to save weight.

This is a great piece and has its place in my gear closet. I've used this jacket up to 18500', and I think it'll be nice to have for Sierra winter climbs.
