Product Review: Patagonia Down Sweater

Big Metolius Bull Trout

I recently bought myself a Patagonia Down Sweater. I remember when these first came out, they looked like trash bags filled with feathers. I am not what you would call style conscious or well dressed, but I definitely didn’t like how they looked; and since I had a big bad ass puffy jacket I really couldn’t see the need for a light highly compressible down jacket.

But I am really putting too much emphasis on looks. Because it terms of function the down sweater is incredible.

This clip came from BBC-Human Planet Explorer. Check it out, there are some other interesting clips as well.
