I packed this in an overnight case for a winter trip to Wales. Not one single complaint about the coat at all. It squishes to about the size of DOP kit and squeezes into any corner....open it up, shake it out, and its puffed to perfection. It was windy, rainy, cold and down to 27 degrees Fahrenheit...I had a sweater on underneath and, though usually the one who is always cold, I was just right. It is not a jacket... Im 410and 105...usually wear a zero or 2...it fit to my mid thigh which kept my backside and upper legs out of the wind and cold. I zipped it up to the neck & used a scarf in the high  wind, but Im especially protective of my throat as a vocalist. I got the slate which I thought would be gray,  but it is a soft blue gray. I received compliments that the chevron didn't make it look like one of those puffed up marshmallow shapes. Hope this helps.
