I’m having a major issue with this jacket…it smells like a wet dog. I thought it was something around me, but then I realized the smell was following me around! It’s the jacket…when it heats up with my body warmth it seems to be igniting some kind of mildew odor in the down (hence wet dog smell). Perhaps it got wet before arriving here at some point and was never properly dried. I read some reviews and apparently I’m not the only one as I’ve read many reviews stating the same issue. I’m afraid to wash it as I’ve also read many reviews stating that the jackets fall apart very easily. Wrote to Cotopaxi and no response so far. This should not be a common issue.So, I would either like a full refund or a replacement that doesn’t have any wet dog odor.Thanks,Charles Porter

I was looking for a jacket that would be:1. A good layer for skiing / winter hiking.2. Decently attractive for simply wearing around town in cold (20-30 degree) conditions.3. Packable for travelThis jacket hits all of those marks. It's warm, packackle, decent looking, and fits well under a shell. The sleeves, unlike most Outdoor Research jacket, actually fit pretty well instead of being TOO baggy. From what I've read on Reddit, this jacket is just as warm as the Patagonia version... but at a better price point.The only complaint that I have is that the black color is more of a "light" black... bordering on very dark gray. It clashes just a bit with black slacks or jeans, unlike Patagonia which feels like a "true" black. Other than that, I'm impressed with ... MoreI was looking for a jacket that would be:1.

I honestly purchased this on a lark - I wanted a colourful down hooded jacket for a winter and this happened to be on sale. After about a month of constant usage, I can safely say it's exceeded expectations.It's very light, packable, distinctive and is the kind of hoodie that wouldn't look out of place on a hiking trail, on a dinner date, at the opera, at a game, or whilst shopping at Oxford Street or Mayfair!I've worn only a tee shirt and this jacket and stepped out at -2/-3C and it's been just fine. In short, it appears this down can protect up to --5C even though this jacket doesn't come with a temperature range.It's also functional from zipped pockets, inside pockets and an inside pouch. So, grab it on when you're travelling - there's enough space to store ... MoreI honestly purchased this on a lark - I wanted a colourful down hooded jacket for a winter and this happened to be on sale.

It's moisture wicking abilities means even for blokes like me that sweat, it doesn't smell too much.

Obviously cool style, and this seems like a sturdy jacket that is also comfortable to wear. A cheap zipper can make a jacket useless, but this Zipper is strong and good quality. Hood provides good coverage for my large head. Jacket doesn’t have as much fill as my Columbia coat, and I do outdoor winter activities like snowshoeing and some ice climbing, so I’m a little nervous it won’t provide deep protection - but so far it seems warm. I’m not thin, and there’s still probably room for a fleece mid layer if needed. Minimalist design without a lot of “features” but a good lightweight companion for outdoor recreation. I’m 5’10” 205lbs, normally wear a large and this is true to size.
My husband has been wanting this jacket for years and was extremely excited to finally get one this year. He is 5’6”, 140 lbs, and the small fits him like a glove. We had a hard time selecting the colors since they were all really awesome, but decided to go with the forest green which was a great choice. It’s very warm also. My only complaint is the “gear for good” text on the back. He got the jacket because he loved the color way and he’s very particular about things being stylish and well fitting. The slogan on the back kind of takes the “cool” out of it. I am aware it’s Cotopaxi’s slogan but let the clothing speak for itself, especially if people are choosing it for fashion. When you start to virtue signal directly on the clothing it’s just sort of dorky.
Love wearing this jacket, excellent colors and gets plenty of compliments. I've actually liked it so much that I've gotten two but have had a couple of issues with them. The first is that one jacket loses quite a bit of down by seeping through the fabric, but the other doesn't have this issue. This along with other reviews here tells me it's a quality control issue. The second is that I have had to wash one of the jackets twice due to spilling drinks on it, I was careful to read the directions and washed it according to the directions (dry with tennis balls to restore fluff). The first time I washed it I didn't have tennis balls so I used my wool dryer balls, worked great and came out like new. The second time (about 4 months later) I had to wash it, this time I did ... MoreLove wearing this jacket, excellent colors and gets plenty of compliments.

The first time I washed it I didn't have tennis balls so I used my wool dryer balls, worked great and came out like new. The second time (about 4 months later) I had to wash it, this time I did have tennis balls on hand so I used those instead of my wool balls, but what ended up happening was that the tennis balls were heavy and got stuck in the sleeves of the jacket near the wrists. This ended up causing the down to bunch in odd areas, leaving patches of the coat with no insulation. This happened late this past spring so I haven't had much time to wear it but I'm assuming it won't keep me as warm now, which is unfortunate because it's already a pretty light jacket. The directions warn to wash sparingly but only getting 2 washes before having issues seems unreasonable, especially due to the recommended tennis ball method. Would be nice if this is covered by a repair/replace program, which I haven't checked out yet. Overall awesome looking jacket but delicate for sure :(
I was unable to tell through the website that the black colored jacket I ordered was an inside-out or inverted variety of the black jacket with blue and green stripes on the inside. I had seen the black jacket with blue and green stripes in a store and then opted for what I thought was the all-black jacket through the website, not aware that the blue and green stripes were on the inside. It is no impact on the function, but when spending at this price point, I did not end up with exactly what I wanted which I could have elsewhere. The coat is not designed to be reversible. Other than this preference, the coat is light, able to be packed into its own pocket and zipped up, and provides warmth and comfort.

I did like the design of this jacket model by which there are lightly conforming elastic bands on the wrist to keep outside air from coming in up the sleeves as well as adjustable elastic waist lines to conform the jacket to the body to prevent outside air from entering from the bottom. The hood does not have adjustments, but it is designed to go past the top of a common forehead down to just above the eyes, providing more head coverage from above.
I bought this for a week long trip to Whitney in the Sierra Nevadas a while ago and it has just been perfect. I have owned similar down jackets like The North Face's Thermoball jacket ($200) and this one is just significantly better quality than anything I've owned, just totally worth the $75 dollar price difference. The fit is better, the quality of the stitching looks nicer, and the material feels nicer. Down jackets overall are usually fragile, but this one felt nice enough to not have to worry about. It was able to survive being in my pack for a week and used daily during hikes. Also in my opinion just looks the best in person. It's almost like professional looking, like something I could go hike in on the weekend, and then wear to the office during the ... MoreI bought this for a week long trip to Whitney in the Sierra Nevadas a while ago and it has just been perfect.

It's almost like professional looking, like something I could go hike in on the weekend, and then wear to the office during the weekdays. It is though INSANELY HOT. I live in LA and can only take it out on especially cold nights because of how warm it is.The only thing I would change about it is the stuff pocket for storing.No Cotopaxi, I don't feel comfortable shoving an almost $300 dollar jacket into a 4 inch zipper just to make it slightly smaller for packing. It's not a deal breaker, but because its so unnerving to use, I just avoid using it when I can.
Bought this on sale from REI. I love almost everything about this jacket. Great design, color options, features, packability, and fit and finish. The jacket is very warm and has a nice down fill power. I am comfortable into the teens wearing with just one layer underneath, but I also run warm. The only complaint that I have is that I have had it for about a week and it continues to shed it’s down. The overall craftsmanship and fit and finish are fine. I have not seen any loose seams or stitching, etc., but the down is escaping through the seams somehow. It’s only a few small feathers every day, but at this rate I’m going to end up with a nylon shell soon.
Got this jacket because I needed a puffy jacket and I really liked the colorful retro style of the jacket. The zippers close and open very smoothly and the jacket is very warm. Packs down very easily and fits very well. However, the workmanship of the jacket has been disappointing so far. I've only worn the jacket a few times and the down is already starting to poke out, and the treading in many areas is starting to become undone. After my last backpacking trip after unpacking the jacket I noticed a small tear near one of the hand pockets. I have no idea how this happened since I only wear this jacket when I get to camp and pack it away in my backpack when I leave. Hopefully there won't be anymore issues, but have been disappointed so far with the quality of the jacket.
