Calvin Klein Men's Classic Packable Down Jacket; Medium, Dark Chromium
Although the Calvin Klein Classic Packable Down Jacket appears extremely light and thin, it is surprisingly warm and kept me quite toasty in temperatures of 38 degrees with only a thin dress shirt worn underneath. I was freezing in a heavy leather jacket with a fleece lining through the same weather. Once down to 34 degrees, however, the jacket started becoming a bit chillier suggesting I needed more layers. The weather is not cooperating so that I can test it down to the self-rated 5 degrees. The medium fits me as expected and still has plenty of room for a sweater or even a thick fleece pullover. The jacket looks quite nice.
There are two exterior zippered pockets and two inside pockets - the pockets are pretty good at keeping your hands warm. The wrists are elasticized and there's an adjustable elastic waist-cinch to keep the wind out. Even though made in China, the construction seems quite good.
It is made of 100% nylon and insulated with 90% duck down and 10% waterfowl feathers. The jacket shell material is extremely thin, however, so I might recommend being careful of snagging it on sharp objects. The jacket is machine washable and can be machine dried. Although I have not had any issues with feathers protruding from the jacket shell yet, the label recommends maneuvering them back into the jacket body rather than pulling them out.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the down jacket.
