"Great lightweight and warm. Perfect for winter hiking."
"Great jacket, size fits perfectly."
"Sometimes is challeging for me to find a jacket with a good fit for my wife, but it is not the case with black diamond, this is the 3rd jacket we buy and every time we get the best of the best."
"I searched forever for the perfect hoody and I am happy with this one. My only complaint is they don’t offer it in XXS so it’s a tad big."
"Fantastic warm layer. I love the greenish color and the feel of the fabric. I am a medium in almost everything black diamond but this one seemed to run a little large"
"I absolutely love this lightweight jacket. It is very warm, has a bit of stretch, and withstands moisture well. It fits true to size, packs down small, and lofts up great. It's worth every penny."
"I bought this jacket in Creek Blue size large. Like other customers, I have an hour glass shape and it really tough to find a down hoodie that will fit nicely over my hips - they're not huge, I wear a size 10 pants, but still have trouble with a hoodie that fits me. I bought a large which I would say is a bit roomy, but I am glad for the room for base layer and fleece top if need be. The zipper is solid -would have been better to be 2-way - but at least it's a good solid item. Great puffiness and warmth - so cosy. I love the pockets and it is super light weight and packs down to nothing. I tried about 6 other brands and this is the best for me by far."
"Super jacket great quality and fit will be cherished for years to come ."
"Super puffy, large arms around the biceps. Had to return."
"I am a 5’10” female who after 60 years resigned myself to having to buy mens mediums to get coats to fit. I hated the mens cut and length but there were no alternatives… until now. I actually started by buying a BD mens medium, and while it fit it was still a mens style. On a whim (and a sale) I bought an XL womens hoody and it fit perfectly! I now have an XL womens raincoat and now winter coat. They fit perfect length, sleeve length, and shoulder and I finally look like a reasonable 5’10” female vs a bulky hockey player. Thx BD for working on good fitting clothes."
