So I did a lot of research on a bunch of jackets before I got this one.First of all, it's WARM. 750 power-fill down will definitely keep you warm.However, it's incredibly lightweight and thin when you have it in hand. You hold it in your hand and it feels so light and plushy you think that it could only have 300-400 fill down, but once you put it on, it insulates, you feel hot air coming out of your sleeves, and the jacket feels slightly more puffy on your body and it keeps you VERY warm.I live in South Bend, Indiana so it gets incredibly cold in the winter and though it may be 21 F, the winds makes it "feel" like 15 FSecond, the fit is great. The sleeves are mostly long and fitted, near your armpits and the base of your arm, the sleeves are bit wide (they could be thinner) but I love how this jacket is just a bunch of tubes and blocks like the Michelin man. There is a unique pattern at the elbow and other parts of the sleeve and back of jacket and the sleeves also have a nice tapered cut.The chest fit perfectly, and the length of the jacket wasn't too long and ugly, and not too short either. Third, I'm 5'10", South Korean (asian), and lean, but muscular build. I usually fit into size small shirts and 30/30 jeans because I like my clothing to look fitted and muscular. I took a risk on got size SMALL as well for this jacket and it fits PERFECTLY. A medium would've definitely been too loose and big on me and not given me the fitted look. The sleeves aren't short, in fact, they're perhaps a centimeter long. Fourth, the price was not great, yet not too expensive either. I got it for [$] on Campmor.com during Cyber Monday and so it was worth it for me.The quality of the zippers, the outer material (semi-gloss) , and the hood are outstanding.The look of the semi-gloss is a tad TOO flashy. A few of my friends and my own sister said it looked a little [*] because it was too shiny. However, the shine is SEMI gloss and not full shiny.Also, as soon as people saw the SPYDER logo, they admitted that the jacket was legit and cool, afterall since its a snowboarding jacket. If I could improve this jacket, I'd say bring down the gloss a bit more though, and perhaps a little tighter at the base of the arms. THat's it. Other than that it's perfect.
