These boots make my husband look like a hunk! I bought them for him when we went to Winnipeg in February and all he did was rave about how warm and comfortable they are. Plus, they're totally hot. What more could you ask? Also, even though these were more than he wanted me to spend on boots, the wisdom of "the lifetime boot" got through to him, and he's a convert.

After trying on $1700 (really!) worth of boots from Zappos I've finally found my boot. Oddly this was the very last pair left to try, and they fit beautifully and feel great (naturally they are the most expensive boots, by far, in the collection I tried). FYI, I'm replacing my years-old Ecco "Track" boots, which were too narrow in the forefoot, and with which I've suffered for too many snowy seasons. The Sorels fit me great, from front to back. I'm not much for (non-dress) shoes, but these look really good in black.

I love this jacket. I live in No. Ca and it's perfect for our not freezing winters. It's light and does not add all the added bulk that a full down coat would. Who needs any added bulk, really? Is a tad short in the torso, but I have a long-waist. Still a great jacket and I'd buy another if the opportunity came about.

I feel compelled to let people know that the green is SUPER BRIGHT LIME green. I returned mine instantly to get a black one. But the jacket is awesome and warm. I am 5'5", 115 lbs (normally wear a 2) and got the XS, and it fits perfectly.

So, what made be teeter on the purchase of this item was how to wear it ... Patagonia jackets generally do fall at the hip and can expose your back side. I ordered a size larger to compensate for this factor and I am happy with my choice. For a fitted look (sweater) - consider your normal size and or smaller size. For use as a jacket - consider your normal size and or larger size This is a great jacket and will will find a way to utilize it.

I ordered the orange and was upset to see that the fabric was so transparent you could see the filling through it, I am planning on returning it right away. The Jacket fits great and its very comfortable, but the blotchy black that shows through makes it look like something is wrong with the fabric.

I received my Patagonia Down Sweater in Pearl about a month ago and it was meant to be a Christmas present from my husband. But after trying it on to make sure we got the size right I just couldn't let him wrap it up! I couldn't believe how something so thin and lightweight could keep me so warm. I wear a size 4 and the small fit me perfectly with room to wear a thick shirt or sweater underneath but it is so warm all I've worn are t-shirts or thin tops so far. And yes, the pearl color is sheer so you do see some down inside and it gives it a slight spotty appearance. But I really like it so it didn't bother me a bit. I love this jacket!
