20 Best Fall Jackets For Men (2023 Updated)

This is so far the best as far as warmth for a liner/winter jacket ive found yet. It definitely puts the 590 Voodoo Falls and the 800 Alpha Trail to shame. Folks please keep in mind that the fill power is simply the fluff of the down which does help for warmth because it keeps the cold air that much further from your skin because it “fluffs” out further but also keep in mind the amount of down and insulation used is another huge factor as well.

You can have 1000 down fill power but if there is only a minimal amount of down used, it won’t retain heat as well as a 590 fill power with twice the down/insulation. This is something I wish Columbia would put on each item description but for some reason they dont.

They should definitely include the weight used in the down and whatever insulation used for each garmet listed. That would definitely help to jusge how well it may perform in the cold. I can’t remember exactly but i believe this one uses like 110 or 120 grams of down and like 30 or 40 grams of insualtion.

I got that info after asking a rep about the weight of everythinf from a frw different models. This one in paticular had more than another model which was 800 down fill. I think nearly twice as much.

The fit is right on track. Very comfy and can be used as an interchange liner in Columbia’s outer shell layer, which is exactly what i got it for. With the outer shell this thing is super warm. When I have a winter jacket I want to be able to wear a tshirt under it in 0 degree weather and be warm.

This with a shell will do that. As a stand alone jacket I would say with a tshirt that I would be warm in 20 dergee weather. With 0 temps in the wind id say wear a sweater for sure. Overall love it.

The Men’s Golden Grove is a nice warm down jacket with the Omni-Heat technology, which I have also enjoyed on my Columbia vest in its first incarnation. The jacket runs a little big and this is exaggerated by the overall boxy shape of the design.

I like the different stitching pattern to keep the down in place, which makes it stand out and give it a nice texture. The Columbia logo on the front is silk screened on and not in a high quality manner, giving the jacket a “budget” look.

Columbia used to embroider their logo on, but has now gone to a printed version to probably save a few bucks. Unless they’re eventually hoping to be sold inside of Costco’s, this is not a savvy move and will cause more fashionable conscious buyers to look elsewhere.

Since my jacket is black, I’m just going to color over the dishwater gray color with a black Sharpie to eliminate its impact. At full retail, you may want to investigate other options, but if it goes on sale, it’s a good buy compared to competition.

I’ve only had it a couple of weeks, so I can’t speak to durability or longevity.

Purchased this jacket for myself to replace a Northface Thermoball. I loved my Northface but decided to try this Columbia jacket. Love the colour and quilted design of the insulation making it very stylish.

I wanted zippered pockets and a hood for functional purposes and this coat delivered on both. It’s light enough to wear on cool days but warm enough when layered for cold weather making it very functional.

The jacket is well made and looks like quality. The cut seems a little more generous (longer and looser) than my Northface. Overall an excellent jacket.

I went into the Carhart store thinking I wanted a different style and walked out with this one. Truthfully, I wanted a more stylish jacket than this for a trip to London. Wanted something that wasn’t bulky and was warm in the October, overcast, drizzly weather.

The sales associate recommended this jacket and, as it turns out, it was perfect for my needs. The pockets are AWESOME. The regular side pockets have a clever snap that will prevent things from falling out.

There is also an inside pocket (my fav thing in the world, especially when traveling), as well as an outside chest pocket. It’s warm (though it’s NOT an Upstate NY winter coat) and its water resistant.

It’s now become my go at home this fall as well.

Thanks for constructing such a great jacket. My shoulders, and arms are big, the large fits perfect. I’m 6’2″, in a wheelchair and this still has room to spare. I wear an extra large in The North Face, EDDIE Bauer ALASKA Hardware, Cabela’s, and Patagonia.

I own 14 winter jackets, this one will not disappoint. Velcro closers on the arm cuffs is really an added bonus for a jacket at this price. The coat also has a zipper pocket on the inside along with a top opening Velcro closing pocket on the other side.

Classic triple Carhartt sticking throughout the jacket will last the harshest treatment. It’s water-resistant wind-resistant and toasty I would say down to mid to lower 30’s with a long sleeve omi-heat Columbia shirt underneath.

Thanks for the on time shipping.

I love the design–great fabric, a strong zipper, an outside pocket for my phone and an inside pocket for other things. Fit was a problem, and I returned it. The medium size should have been a perfect fit, according to my chest and waist size.

In reality, it’s cut large, and I was swimming in it. I returned it and ordered a small. It was too tight and had very long sleeves. I returned that too. I was disappointed to have to return both. Fit aside, it’s a great product, like all Carhartt clothing.

I purchased this exact coat (then known as the Ridge Coat) 14 years ago in 2008 when I was a sophomore in high school. I still wear the coat. This coat has survived multiple moves, college while traveling with a winter sports team, a flood (dug it out of the mud and cleaned it up), blizzards, three kids, yard work, football games, and innumerable fishing trips.

I still wear the coat. The black is fading into a grey and there’s some fraying around the cuffs, but it’s holding strong. Barring an unforeseen catastrophe, I see no reason why I shouldn’t get another 14 years out of it.

They do run big and I bought my size but that’s ok. There’s plenty of room to add a carhartt vest or a sweater underneath. This was my first Carhartt coat and as a fourth generation blue collar customer, I can say that Carhartt has been an integral part of my family and will be for generations to come.

You won’t be disappointed with this coat.

Really liked this Jacket So much, that I bought the Extremes version of this coat. My body is a California size Men’s ‘Med. ‘ but I always get Lrg. for all Jackets. But when I got it, found that the Lrg.

is excellent but the arm length of these where excessively long. Its as though, it was made for some Neolithic Ape-man or the Seamstress accidently sewed XXL. arms on the Lrg. coat. Carhart Representatives Acted Very Good with the Transfer to a ‘Med’ size coat! When I recieved the Med.

-coat; Thats when I found that there was an Usual issue with those ‘Very Nice coats’ made by its ‘Assemblers’. ‘The Arms lengths’ where found to be Larger than Usual Carhartt]-jackets built throughout the past.

Noticed that the Zipper not fully shiny-golden as New jackets & I Found a possible, personal paper, inside one of the pockets; where maybe it was worn on someone, then placed in stock with the New Unused stock.

The Med. is my body actual size but Lrg. is for Jacket/Coats; for inner Insulators. Therefor acceptable in compromise of the Overall issue of the “Extremes traditional coat”; finding that the Med. also had semi-Long arms.

“Ive been a Customer Many Years; ‘Thank You Carhartt for Your Good cooperation for this Overall Rare, Issue, Seriously, Thank You’!.

I’ve been a die hard Carhartt advocate for many years. This will be the first time I’ve ever submitted a review on the site. I’m a firm believer in the no news is good news philosophy. The reason for my first submission is the fact I am not at all impressed nor satisfied with the quality of this jacket.

It feels cheap in comparison to the MANY others I’ve purchased in the past. It feels like it was made in China. The thickness of the jacket doesn’t feel at all as robust as usual. The end of the sleeves are not hemmed the same.

Also, the bottom end of the sleeves consist of some sort of cheap synthetic material. The fit of the jacket is a bit large, but that happens from time to time depending on what style of Cahartt coat it is.

I must say if I ever receive another coat of the same down graded quality from Carhartt again, I will spitefully commit my business with another brand.

I bought this jacket in a size large back in 2019 in black and its my Favorite!! I recently bought another so I can alternate between jackets and I noticed the new one has a more fitted feel in the belly and chest.

I thought maybe it was the cut of the jacket I got so I purchased another 2 and they were the same. I laid the new ones on top of my old jacket that I purchased on the Columbia website and I noticed a difference about an inch and half in the chest and body.

I like the more relaxed feel and I have a wide chest so I decided to size up to an extra large because the large was slightly digging into my armpits. The quality is still spot on!.

I bought many of those, black, light and dark blue. Mostly used for light activities like shopping and sometimes work when really cold as additional layer. 2 outer and front zip pocket, warm collar. Hem string to adapt.

Breathable, mildly water resistant in short shower. But too thick and heavy for real climbing. Washes and dries quick. Would recommend for less exhausting activity. or work outdoors.

I like that this jacket hits that right in the middle area for temperature. Not too warm but warmer than you think when needed. It breathes as well as sheds light rain and snow pretty well. Doesn’t take the place of a rain shell but a good compromise for occasional “heavy humidity.

” The fabric feels great as a soft shell garment should. I’m 5’10” 205 and this newer jacket in XL fits a little looser than my previous one from a few years go. A little room is good unless you prefer the fitted look over comfort.

This jacket is great. I am from California but wore this jacket in New York City over Thanksgiving week 2021 with temps dipping into mid to low 30s in the evening. Layered with a sweater or a shirt underneath kept me warm and comfy.

I loved the multiple zippered pockets. I would have given 5 stars if it weren’t for the hood that is way to big. I wear size L and everything fits perfectly but when I put on the hood it goes over my eyes.

Seems too big and too long. Otherwise I highly recommend it.

Excellent jacket! Owning a yard service company I am outside daily regardless of the weather. Kept me dry in the rain. Warm in moderately cold temperatures – around 20’s. It was a nice stop from the wind this fall also.

I had no worries about its durability while carrying a backpack blower or having tree branches swipe against it. It cleaned up nicely when it got dirty. I would buy these for all my crew!.

I was indecisive about this jacket at first because of the price. I have about 4 other winter jackets at home and really didn’t need this one, but I’m glad I bought it. I like the way it looks and fits.

It might be lightweight but is a warm jacket and water and wind resistant. I live in Iowa and it is a perfect jacket to wear over a hoodie and still be comfortable. I would buy this jacket again, it is worth every penny.

I got this in XXL. I have broader shoulders for a woman, and while this jacket could use a smidge more room in the shoulders, I can wear it comfortably. Thus far I’ve only worn it in light rain, and it’s done its job well.

Because I’m 5’5 and I have a short torso, this jacket is full length on me (I actually would have loved it as a crop, but this is great too). I have short arms so the sleeves are a little long on me — I would have appreciated some way of tightening the wrist opening.

Note that the tie around the waist at the bottom needs to be tied or it hangs down awkwardly — it’s useful, but the look isn’t my favourite. CW mention of weight and measurements below. – – – The “what is your weight” section of the Altitude survey doesn’t go high enough for me, so I left it blank.

I haven’t weighed myself in years, but I would estimate that I’m around 250lbs. My waist measures ~41 inches and my hips measure ~52 inches. I guessed that this jacket would work for me because of the crop length, and that’s proven correct in my case.

I ordered a medium size raincoat a month ago for a trip to Iceland (and for rainy days in general). It was great protection against the rain and wind. I ordered a medium (I’m 5’2” 130pounds) and typically find myself in small or medium.

The medium was a bit big but it worked out great because I can easily wear layers without it being too tight. I also read previous comments about people not liking the placements of the zippered pockets.

I actually love them – they’re a bit higher than the norm (think bellybutton level). Color was true to photo (I ordered the tea green and have received multiple compliments). Would recommend!.

This is a decent jacket that worked relatively well as an outer layer for my trip to Iceland. However, when we got caught in a moderate rain during a 3 hr hike, the jacket just couldn’t keep me dry towards the end of the hike.

It held up for the first hour or two, but by the third hour it was pretty damp on the interior. At no point was the rain heavy, it was mostly on and off and light for the first two hours. But the last hour was a steady & moderate rain.

I still love this jacket, though, and it’s great for quick hikes in misty conditions and waterfall visits. But it’s not something I would recommend for a longer rainy hikes.

I cannot say enough good things about this jacket. Like, I really can’t. I just gave it the stress test of a lifetime in the form of a legitimate emergency and state-wide national disaster, and can emphatically say that this jacket literally helped me to survive.

For those who may not know, Texas was rocked with a devastating ice storm from an arctic blast, resulting in a snow and ice storm that hasn’t been seen since the late 80s. This resulted in the ENTIRE state shutting down without power, which in turn led to a lack of water, heat, and light for millions.

Cell towers went offline, no one could drive anywhere, and the subfreezing temperatures kept us in a perpetual ice prison for days. Very few people here were prepared for anything remotely this awful, and due to a lack of preparation by seemingly every level of authority, we were literally left out in the cold to fend for ourselves.

After several days, I went outside to try and shovel ice away from my driveway. In doing so, I also helped out a neighbor clear theirs as well. I had only planned to be outside for maybe 10 minutes, but ended up spending 2.

5 hours clearing away snow and ice as best I could. I was wearing my Fuego jacket and am still in shock at how amazingly well it performed. At the time, the temperature was in the teens, with wind chill placing it into the negatives.

Texas is just not prepared for this kind of weather, and I was sure that being out in the cold would be miserable and awful. However, I felt perfectly fine – my jacket was keeping me incredibly warm, cut through the gusts of wind, and didn’t once fail to perform amazingly.

As I worked feverishly to clear out as much as I could, the jacket didn’t bind, rip, tear, or restrict. I was surprisingly comfortable the entire time. For such a thin and lightweight piece of clothing, it locked in heat and shielded me from the elements.

Given the lack of power, I even slept in it a few times – it’s that comfortable and unnoticeable, and kept me warm throughout the night. Again, it quite literally helped me to survive the worst natural disaster I’ve ever been through.

Of course, the jacket looks amazing – the colors are incredible, it creates a slim and smooth silhouette, and it has a number of features that are incredible. It fits me perfectly – I wear Men’s medium, and it covers my broad frame without issue and without looking bulky (about 180 pounds, 31″ waist, muscular build).

There’s enough give everywhere, yet it maintains a beautiful and complementary shape. From a style standpoint, it is fashionable and gorgeous, yet performs like a champ. I’ve gotten compliments on it from strangers, friends, and coworkers.

It is truly a magnificent combination of form and function. Please continue to make such amazing and high quality jackets – you have a lifelong fan and advocate in me, and I look forward to purchasing more in the future.

IšverstiShow in original languageBought on Black Friday promo. Was given as a Christmas gift. First impressions left more to be desired. I have another Columbia that is 700 fill down. It is very puffy.

This one at 650 is nearly flat comparatively. I can’t see how this one would be near as warm. I had another that was rated at 800 and it was also flatter, lighter, and not near as warm as the 700. Wish Columbia could develop a warmth rating comparison system that was accurate, across all insulation materials.

Anyway, my son says he is warm enough in it. I think he’s trying to act tough as he seems like he’s trying to keep warm while out in the cold in the jacket. Within a few weeks with light wear it started to shed feathers.

He’s 5′ 10″ and 150 lbs. Large is a bit large on him. Plenty of room for layers, which he’ll probably need. Overall would recommend a different model for Iowa winters.

IšverstiShow in original languageMy 8 year old grandson wanted a jacket like mine – with the shiny interior, less bulk, and the thumb holed wrist warmers. Like me, he is short and thick around the waist – so hard to fit since kids clothes do not come in a petite and husky sized clothes are hard to find.

I tried this jacket for him, hoping that Columbia had cut the jacket a little boxier than other manufacturers. He likes it – could get it on (with no room for layers which was fine) and if he hiked it up in back when he sat down since yes it’s too long.

I left off the 5th star because the kid jacket does not include the wrist warmers. Happy with this purchase and other Columbia I have bought for myself: cut for regular people.

IšverstiShow in original languageI specifically bought this jacket because it’s a newer version of what we have and love. Web description above says it has “zippered pockets”, “adjustable hem” etc. When I got the new jacket there are NOT zippered pockets and NO adjustable anything.

No adjustable waist, cuff or hood hem. In addition to these missing features which are absolutely necessary for a child’s jacket (or we loose every glove we buy), I ordered up a size and the Large I got is exactly the same size as the Medium we have from last year.

Now I’m on hold behind 94 other people to speak with a Cust Svc Rep to figure out what Jacket we can order in place of this. NOT happy – we either order from someone else or are without a jacket for entire month of December.

I have appreciated having this jacket for only a few months, and not used (or abused) it to see it’s limits yet. I have a lot of respect for Patagonia, and their commitment to quality and technology.

So far, this jacket works well in the moderate winters of TN. It does a great job, as others point out, is quite comfortable to hike in for hours even in wind and rain down to freezing temps. There are plenty of other reviews that discuss the outdoor performance.

My suggestions are regarding the construction:1) The protective fabric over the sleeves could perhaps also be used to protect the elbow areas, without that much effect to breathability or movement, one would think.

2) Others have commented that for such a relatively expensive garment, the seams on the inside, with associated threads, are not covered up with fabric, the way the seams for the front zippers are, as well as at the collar.

So why not do it all, and protect the rest of the seams from getting worn, or possibly rubbing against the wearer. 3) Third suggestion concerns the really unimpressive front zipper. It sure doesn’t look very strong.

I have seen stronger, yet light and flexible zippers. So I do hope that this pretty expensive but useful jacket does last a bunch of years, even though it doesn’t look all that strongly made.

We have been buying better sweaters for-like-ever!! 🙂 If you’ve never tried the Patagonia Better Sweater, it’s worth going into an REI store to check it out. They’re light-weight, easy to move around in, great for Spring, Fall and Winter (and cool summer nights), and last forever.

The outside is knit, and the inside is a warm comfy fleece. For a little more context, my brother is an avid and technical researcher and found that the best way to keep warm was a mix of this and that (I won’t get into the brands), and said that Patagonia was ok, but over-priced.

So I got him a better sweater (hehe). He wears it everywhere now. All the expensive mountain gear he bought are in his closet, untouched. What he realized is that while the stuff he bought had high-ratings, and were technically sound, none of them made him look as good as the Patagonia Better Sweater (the cut is super flattering).

So back to the review of this particular sweater – this is why I bought this for my 5 year old son. We want him to be comfortable, and we want him to look good. Just as we do when we wear ours. Also, whoever you’re handing this down to will love it, and if you have no one to hand it down to, this sweater has a really high resale value on Kidizen or Mercari (It’s the Lexus of sweaters).

I just bought my second one, after wearing my first one on the Camino de Santiago and for two years afterwards. It’s not quite worn out, but looks a little rough, so it was time to treat myself to a new one.

I am sure I will be wearing the first one in the garden for years to come. It’s a great layering piece, not too bulky, adds just enough warmth, with nice long sleeves and a quality zipper and construction.

I prefer the quarter zip style because while it provides quite a bit of ventilation, it is lighter and less bulky. I find it more comfortable than a full zip, especially if you are wearing it all day or sleeping in it, as you sometimes do when camping or traveling.

Just a note about its weight: the product info above says it weighs 6. 6 ounces, but doesn’t say what size that would be. I just weighed my (new) XL, and it weighs 9. 2 ounces. I do wish they came in better colors.

The teal green is the only one I like of the current offerings.

Disappointed in this jacket. Major issues: 1- if you’re skinny, this jacket will hang wide on you. There’s no waist drawstring. Looks like a bag. 2 – the zipper on mine caught and didn’t bind cleanly from get-go.

Onto the fit, I’m 6′ 6″ with proportional arm and torso lengths. The sleeves on this were great (actually a touch long, which is fine!). The waist line was too high though, meaning jacket wasn’t long enough shoulder to waist.

Be aware, this is a fairly light fleece. I’m pretty disappointed to say my first and probably last Land’s End purchase is going back.

This a good looking jacket. The large, tall fits me well (6 foot, 200 pounds). When I purchased the jacket the description mentioned “hand warmer pockets” and “inside mesh cargo pockets”. There are no inside cargo pockets and the outside zipper pockets were mesh, not fleece lined, and could not be called “hand warmer”.

Based on current description, I will recommend this product, though I was disappointed.

This is an good looking jacket. I have a woman’s T200, so I knew the quality of the fleece and weight of the jacket would be ideal. With hesitation I bought the colorblock burgundy with navy and the color combination looks better in person than it does in the website image.

My purchase is to be a gift. I added a Super Soft Supima Turtleneck in burgundy as a coordinating piece and I think the duo will be an impressive gift. The jacket is the ideal weight to be worn throughout the cold weather season (except perhaps on days when the temperatures are below freezing).

I have a couple of canvas Barn Coats that I like, but they’re not warm enough when the termps get below the 40’s. So I searched for a Canvas jacket that claimed to be warm in the cold and was sharp looking.

I’m very happy with this purchase. The coat is sherpa lined, passes the warmth test, has a heavy duty zipper and in my opinion looks sharp. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the inside pockets.

They have a good sized zippered pocket on the lower portion inside, but they could really knock it out of the park by adding 1 or even 2 inside upper chest pockets. One for your cell and another for other stuff.

Seems to be well made so I expect years of service from it.

It is definitely a high quality jacket. The material and zipper are great. I would say it’s not for very cold without layers. One note on the zipper: again, it’s going to last, but it comes all the way up the collar, which is good that you can zip it all the way up.

But it should have some material between the zipper and your chin. It rubs against your face. For the collar part it should have some material, like fleece as that metal gets cold and rough. Otherwise, I am glad I got this jacket.

If you are like me and need functional clothing more than fashion statements, this is a terrific jacket. It IS attractive, don’t get me wrong, but it’s real beauty is in how warm and wearable it is. It moves easily.

The lining retains body heat amazingly well. The outer fabric is like very tough canvas, but softer. The outer pockets are big. There are two pockets on the inside, one with a snap, one with a zipper, and they are down low on the left, not up high on the chest where they would be in the way if you were lifting heavy objects.

And as a very big guy, I can also say that the sizing seems to be true. I go 300 lbs and got the 4XL, which is perfect. I have not worn it in the rain yet, so I cannot comment there, but snow and 10°F are no challenge to this coat.

Well worth the price.

This is a good all around jacket for mixed use especially in the middle 20 to 40 degrees F range. It blocks wind reasonably well and is reasonably warm for active use with the right balance of base wear.

The hood does not use draw cords but has an comfortable elastic band around the face which fits well and covers a nice amount of chin and cheeks. It stays in place, doesn’t let wind or snow in, fits with a ball cap, wool hat and/or with a climbing helmet.

The neck area is comfortably snug and allows enough room to wear a buff or neck warmer if its really cold. The wrist cuffs have snug fitting elastic bands which keep wind out. Sleeve length is perfect for my 36-37″ arms.

Biceps and elbows are just roomy enough with 2 shirts. It has an internal zipper chest pocket which I would have preferred was on the outside but it is nicely sized. The front zipper flap keeps out the wind.

The 2 external zipper hand pockets are good sized and comfortably located. The jacket is a little on the long side and sticks out below several of my rain jackets which means the bottom 1 inch can get wet in rain.

Also the extra length means it’s not ideal when wearing a climbing harness but it is nice when skiing and otherwise keeping your back warmer when bent over or seated. The fabric seems to be holding up well to the bumps and bruises of tree branches, brush and rock.

I’m 6’3″, medium build and the xxl fit me just about right, not to bulky, not too tight. I often wear two poly pro shirts, sometimes a vest and it works well. It’s a comfortable throw on jacket when it’s warmer and wearing less.

The single waist draw cord can get long when drawn tight and get caught on things, i wish they had used two (one on each side) to reduce tangling. I would have given this jacket a 5 plus IF it had internal cargo pockets for storing gloves or skins and had side or pit zips to help regulate body temperatures when very active like climbing, skinning, bicycling or jogging.

The jacket has a heavy feel and weighs 1. 1 pounds for the XXL which is a little heavy for this type of jacket when compared to other brands, but it would have been a great weight and awesome jacket if it had the internal cargo pockets and zip pits.

It stuffs reasonably well for a synthetic and has resisted snow and light rain reasonbly well. It’s a good buy, especially if a you can get it on sale!!.

There’s a lot of good things to say about the Nano Puff but super warm is not one of them. Everything has its weakness. having said that it is a versatile piece of kit and I wear mine a lot. If its cool to cold you definitely need to layer up under it as 60 g of primaloft is not as insulating as the same amount of down.

Its advantage over down is that the nano Puff is far more serviceable, just throw it in the washing machine, and if it gets damp it still works. The outer shell material is quite tough for its low weight making it a hard wearing garment The Nano leans towards wind protection rather than breathability, but you can’t have both and wind protection is all important for me.

Price of the Nano is a bit high for a synthetic jacket but you can usually get one through the clearance outlets. Fit is good , allowing for layering. Patagonia M is often a bit tight through the chest for me at 41in, but the Nano fits me well in M.

All up a very useful all rounder and a Patagonia staple.

Ordered for my husband who sits right between wearing a L and XL. After reading some other reviews, chose the XL. It is a tad roomy on him with just a tee but perfect with a sweatshirt. The sleeves seem to run a little long but we find that is fairly standard for Patagonia brand.

The sleeves have elastic at the wrist so no wind or snow gets up them. The forge gray color is beautiful. Nice option if you are tired of black. My hubby reports that the jacket is warm (we live in Iowa) but not too hot and he loves it! Also, want to mention Sun & Ski Sports was so fast to get this item in the mail to me.

I couldn’t believe how fast I received it!.

If you’re looking for a retro-stylish, durable, every day jacket for mild winter conditions, this is a great option. I love this jacket’s combination of classic, rugged styling, durable construction and utility.

To start, it’s pretty heavy and not a very warm coat. Due to its weight and bulk I’d hesitate to travel with it and would never use it actively. It’s a strictly around town jacket, but it’s terrific for that.

Lacking traditional down or synthetic insulation (it uses a high pile fleece lining), it’s not super warm on its own so you need to layer for extra warmth. Imagine a lined softshell and a traditional winter coat had a baby.

The coldest I’d wear this is probably mid-20s (F) with a long sleeve base layer, and mid-weight fleece or wool sweater underneath. My sweet spot for this jacket is 30-40F. I would not recommend this for deep cold winter weather.

The jacket has good weather resistance. The G-1000 shell fabric blocks the wind nicely and has just enough breathability so you don’t overheat (standing or walking). It does a good job blocking the snow but I would not walk around in a rain storm.

Applying Fjallraven’s wax can supposedly add considerable weather resistance (I haven’t tried). It’s a great looking jacket that is versatile enough to wear to work, on a date, walking around town or doing yard work.

And – at least to my eye – it has a timeless style that will look good for decades. As for durability, I haven’t owned this jacket long but the materials are substantial and high quality. Everything from the shell fabric to the snaps are burly and should stand up to years of use.

It wouldn’t shock me if this jacket lasted for decades. The fit is what I would call regular: not trim nor baggy. Don’t be fooled by old reviews. Fjallraven redesigned this recently (2019?) and trimmed up the previously baggy fit to something more modern.

For reference I’m 6-1, 185lbs, 40″ chest, and a medium is perfect. It’s got a very utilitarian feature set. It’s got 2 (snap) chest pockets, 2 (snap) waist pockets with 2 side-oriented hand warmer pockets beneath.

On the inside left there’s a small zippered pocket for your phone and a small dump pocket on the right. The hood is functional and well sized, needing no adjustments. There are hem draw cords at the waist to tighten up the hem.

The front of the jacket has a sizable two-way main front zipper plus large snaps over top – minor issue: the zipper can be finicky. So long as you don’t expect something different out of this jacket than the above, I’d highly recommend it!.

High level of craftsmanship, style, and warmth. It won?t replace your very cold winter coat, but its warmth does well for the medium thickness. It?s a very nice fit for your normal size but layering underneath can get a little snug and cramped.

I?m a bigger guy at 6?5? and 260. The XL fits well and is flattering, but there is definitely a hinderance in range of motion in the shoulders. If you?re looking to layer, it might be a good idea to size up.

The exterior is a nice durable feel, but also soft and stylish. The interior down filling is a medium thickness, but delivers a lot of warmth for its size. The lining is very soft and smooth, I?ve brushed my cheek up against the hood lining and thought for a second there was cloth meeting my skin.

Overall, a very high quality jacket that will last years and years.

I’m 5′ 10″ tall and 180 lbs. I’m a runner, but I’m carrying about 15 lbs more than my optimal trail-running physique. The medium is an ideal size for “no-excess-material” layering” under a shell or over a snug fleece.

For me, the large would have been too big for under a Size Medium Salomon hard shell. YMMV. I do feel a VERY slight compression around my torso when I zip it. So if you’re a late 40s, relatively athletic, dude of my size.

there’s the real dope. a Large would fit perfectly as a casual wear option, but I think a Large would bunch up under my shell. I want this combo to be trim, so this was the play. This piece is well-made and is a pleasure to wear.

I love the warmth:weight balance. it’s barely there, but warm. Fit is very similar to a NorthFace Thermoball jacket. this is probably warmer, but if I’m likely to get wet, I’ll use the synthetic fill jacket.

Love my new Down Sweater Hoody. I’ve been wearing it in 40-50 degree days here in NYC and it’s been warm and fairly wind proof thus far. In researching this jacket I had also been considering the Nano Puff and the Micro Puff jackets by Patagonia, but I went with the Down Sweater Hoody because I thought that it looked the best and would be warmest.

Although I would not wear this jacket in heavy rain, it’s held up well in a light brief drizzle without loosing warmth. The external material seems to be well made with typical Patagonia quality. With that said, I would be carful wearing this jacket while hiking in any kind of heavily brushed area or in a spot that the jacket might be abrased by sharp rocks or branches.

The external pockets are warm and zippered for storage of valuables. There is an inside (left) chest pocket that is also useful. I found that the internal chest pocket is extremely deep, which some may like for storage of hats, scarves or gloves.

Personally I do not like the deep inside pocket as I like to keep keys or a wallet inside my jacket, so those items end up deep down in the pocket. The internal pocket depth was not a deal breaker for me and it still works for storage of keys or a wallet.

The hood on this jacket is the exact same material as the rest of the jacket so it’s very warm and comfortable. I would imagine that this hoody will keep me warm on the coldest windiest days winter throws at NYC.

The jacket fits similarly to other Patagonia items I own, and is true to size. I am 5ft 10in and weigh ~150Lbs and typically wear a medium. A medium size for this jacket fits perfectly. I’d describe the fit as somewhat form fitting and wouldn’t say that it’s unnecessarily baggy at all.

I should be able to layer with a sweater or zip up under this jacket without feeling snug. Overall, I love this jacket and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm down jacket.

I was looking for a mid weight jacket for cool days and this one fit the bill. I like Patagonias ethos and transparent production methods. This one fits a little bigger than equivalent brands but the waist elastic can be adjusted for a more tapered fit.

My jacket smelled of fish/wet dog when it arrived though. A quick google showed several comments about this. I reached out to customer service and they explained it was the DWR finish and it should go away (which it mostly has).

They offered to replace it if I wasn’t happy which was nice. Since it’s mostly gone now I’m not too bothered but it’s worth mentioning. A good jacket otherwise and decent value on sale.

I have been on the hunt for YEARS to find the perfect minimalist jacket for my wardrobe. I wanted one jacket that can serve me for 3 seasons, it had to have nice silhouette, be warm, waterproof, and comfortable.

It took a lot of trial and error, and I finally found it in this Fjallraven Visby 3 in 1 jacket. The insulated layer has a nice fit on its own and provides good coverage for dry weather between 35F-55F.

The exterior, waterproof shell is great for wet weather, and the dropped back will ensure that you can sit down and remain dry for wet conditions. Wearing both layers will be great for conditions above 0F.

I haven’t worn this yet is <0F so I can't comment on the warmth factor for below 0. I ordered the size Small (I'm 5'2", 130lbs, 34B chest, and have wider hips), and this is the perfect fit all around.

I am still able to wear a heavy sweater or sweatshirt and am still comfortable. Overall, after searching years for this.

Having lived in northern climates most of my life, I have tried on and owned many, many winter jackets. The Fjallraven Visby 3 in 1 jacket is the first one that has checked all the boxes for me. It’s stylish enough to be worn for dress or casual, it’s not bulky and cumbersome yet it is incredibly warm, and all the details such as pockets, hood, etc, are just perfect.

Given how well-built and designed this jacket is, I’m sure I won’t be looking for another jacket for quite awhile but when I am, I won’t be looking at anything other than a Fjallraven.

Perfect coat! Great fall and winter rain coat! Very well made. Pockets are so easy and deep. The inner coat zips in and out of the outer very easily. Great purchase if you are looking for three coats.

I am 5’2″ 155 lbs and the medium is perfect.

I lost 10 inches off my waste in the last three years after I came from a pilgrimage to the Kumbha Mela in India. I felt ready to buy a new wardrobe. I wanted something that evoked for me the good times of the 90’s, and Lucky Brand evokes that for me better than any other store in town! So I bought shirts and so on left and right.

Finally, I caught wind of an M65 jacket in the store nearby and I got it. It was great, but I wanted an olive version of it. I found this version on the website and got it today. I found it so much to my liking, that I donated my Chinese line version of this to charity the very same day! It has more layers of lining than the M65 I got in the store nearby.

The cotton material is more distinctive than the simpler version I got at the store. It also has a retractable hood (great for wind and snow) and the sherpa will be just perfect for the chilly weather that is coming to Michigan.

I have to say that this is the nearest to perfection jacket (along the Bonneville leather jackets I got at the store) I have ever had in my life. Being near fifty, I think I have earned it. Specially after serving in the Army for years! :-).

I spent a long time looking for a good field jacket before finding this one. For you pocket fanatics like me, this has a total of 5 pockets. The 4 you see on the outside, and one additional on the inside (this one does not button so I use it as a pen pocket).

This is a medium jacket, and can be used in mildly chilly to cold temperatures. It keeps heat in well (especially if you tighten both sets of string), but is light enough to be used in the spring season.

I would use this in sub-70 degree temps. Contrary to all other reviews, mine DID have a zip-away hood in the collar. It’s very thin, but does the job. Maybe they updated it recently, but it is nice (I live in rainy Oregon).

Only thing I would add is hand warmer pockets (though you can use the bottom pockets in this way in a non-awkward fashion; just less storage space if you do this). That’s the main thing I really wish this had.

That and a couple of stylistic details, but I digress. I use this as my everyday jacket, and it is definitely worth the price.

Great jacket. Looks good and feels like it should last. However I did not keep it because it does not have a packable rain hood in the collar. I am not sure if this is a standard feature on field jackets but it really should be.

If they add the rain hood they should make sure there is a liner inside the jacket to make it water proof. J-Crew has a field mechanic jacket with a hideaway rain hood that can be zipped into the collar and an interior water resistant lining that is really nice and works well.

If they add these features I would buy this jacket instantly. It would be nice if they had some more color options as-well for the modern man: black, tan/kaki/beige, darker green, navy blue.

I recently moved to the north from a tropical climate. My girlfriend said I desperately needed a warm vest. I was clueless about winter garb but I knew about Patagonia. I originally ordered a medium because all reviews said they ran large.

I wanted to be able to wear it over a hoodie to ride a gravel bike in really cold weather. I had to return it as it just wasn’t big enough to wear over something bulky. The replacement arrived fast and hassle free and Worked as expected.

I work as a jazz musician and often have to wear a sui. t I found with this large size I can wear it over a suit jacket for loading/unloading gear. Brilliant! I also just like to wear it just for running errands.

It’s so extremely light and warm I often feel like it’s a product of some kind of alien or alternate universe futuristic technology. Highly Recommended.

If you are on the fence, just get this. You will not regret it. My husband picked this out for me (size and color too) and it is seriously my favorite present! I have never had a Patagonia before because of the price point, but this was a Christmas gift.

I an 5’7″, 140, Chest 36| Waist 28 in jeans. I got the L in the off white with blue trim and mustard pulls. I have LONG arms and always have to size up. This is perfect. It is loose fitting, but not like I’m wearing a huge sweatshirt.

It is flattering and cute with jeans and whatever shoes you wear. I went on here today to see what other colors there were. I am here in Chicago rural suburb weather and this is warm. Love it. Get it.

Don’t cheap out with your other option you are thinking about. :).
