The jacket is padded and warm. I immediately decided to return the previous down jacket I bought in the mall. I can tell the quality is way better than the Nike one I just got from outlet on July 4th. If you look at the details, you’ll see how valuable it is. I chose black color, may be I’m too old to try others, but I would get another one with shining color for my son. We can’t wait to go camping with it.
