I received my Hoodie today and really like it. Here’s some observations: 1) it’s light. I ordered a size S and it comes in at 376gr or about 13,5oz (see pic on scale). I expected something about 50% heavier so that is good. Although perhaps they skimped on the fill but I don’t think so 2) it comes with a draw cord at the hem even though in this discussion it was mentioned by the manufacturer that it didnt. Pleasantly surprised by that. See picture 3) it‘s rather boxy and seems to fit large. Based on the sizing chart I would be on upper end of size S but I prefer to wear more slim fit than relax fit so would have been fine with a tighter fit so went for S as opposed to M. This one still feels like relax fit. Not sure if this applies to the other sizes but that’s what is the case for S. 4) stuffing into left pocket is easy and requires little dexterity. Of course not meant for long storage but definitely useful on a hiking/camping trip 5) fill could be a bit more evenly spread. I wouldn’t call it clumpy but at the arms it does seem the upper part is thinner than near the bottom seam. I think a bit of shifting the down around should resolve it. Just haven’t taken the time yet to properly attempt that. 6) the hood is roomy. Might be a plus for some but a slight minus for me. I just prefer a more snug fit on my hoods. Since I mostly intend to wear this as a kid layer in more arctic conditions, the hood of my outer shell or jacket will keep the hood snug anyway. I do prefer double hoods anyway when wearing shells since I don’t like the feel of a shell’s bare hood. 7) feels warm, especially given its weight. Haven‘t tried it in freezing temps yet (that will be this weekend, but at 8c and a t-shirt underneath feels fine).
All in all very happy and glad I joined this drop
