Review on Women's Packable Insulation Clothing and Coats, Jackets & Vests by Alpine Swiss by Lisa Zimmerman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great deal for women

Would I buy again. I use it both when traveling and at home and warmth is important to me. It lasted over four months while traveling in Europe and I've worn it on many plane/bus/train trips and excursions. Space for sweaters below. I'm Small-Medium and bought Medium). And on a very humid or cold day I sometimes wear a windbreaker over it and because it's so light I don't feel like a toy at all * Very warm and light, really ripples - and the ball comes out without wrinkling * Big the Length keeps me warm * Dries quickly when wet * Two interior pockets (non-zipped) provide extra room for a bag and other items you want to keep with you but don't want to use valuables Exterior pocket A couple of the cons: *Not great suitable for women but I prefer this one as it gives me enough room for the layers underneath * No drawstring for the hood so it usually just falls off my head unless I tie the scarf around my neck to wrap it around it to hold in place (which works well) * Sometimes I have trouble with the pocket and front zipper getting caught. I think it happens when the jacket gets wet and the fabric sags and snags along the zipper path. Once it dries everything is fine. * There were a lot of short threads sticking out at first, but after I cut them off there was no problem.

Pros
  • WARM DOWN ALTERNATIVE FILL - Down alternative polyester fill and lining is warm and lightweight. Elegant Alpine Swiss logo on the sleeve.
Cons
  • Reliability
