M's Shovelhead Jacket

The diamond quilting gives it a slimmer look than my old puffer, which I didn't expect to notice. The down actually kept me dry in a misty drizzle on my walk to the coffee shop.

Wore this on a 25-degree morning walk and stayed warm the whole time, which I wasn't expecting from something this light. The diamond quilting actually looks better in person, and rain beaded right off the shell.

I was skeptical about the recycled down keeping me warm, but after a freezing morning walk along the river I didn’t feel a single cold spot. The water-repellent finish shrugged off the light snow without soaking through. It’s become my go-to for every errand this winter.
