In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by its remarkable warmth despite its slim, lightweight design: many find it very warm, comfortable and pleasant to wear. It works well for winter hiking, on foot or with snowshoes, for everyday wear and as an excellent mid-layer. Several customers also appreciate how easily it compresses and takes up little room in a pack, along with its attractive cut and neat finishes. However, it can run small or feel tight under the arms and across the chest, so consider sizing up.

I was surprised by how warm it was, considering its thinness and how little space this down jacket takes up when compressed. It's very warm and comfortable for hiking in winter weather, whether on foot or snowshoes. It's also perfect for everyday wear when temperatures are milder. Lightweight, easy to pack, and ideal as a mid-layer.

I had to exchange my down jacket from XL to 2XL. The exchange was carried out quite quickly. Good product, compressible and warm.

Je l’avais pris en taille M, je le garde, mais il ne faut rien porter dessous, taille un peu petit pour moi , je l’ai donc commandé en taille L, parfait. Les deux me seront utiles. Très agréable à porter et bien chaud.

Beautiful sleeveless down jacket. Elegant and warm. Lovely finish. I hesitated between two sizes, but it was ultimately a little too big for me. I had to order a size down.

Excellent comfort! Everything is so well thought out and the finishing is impeccable. The collar hugs the neck perfectly, and the zipper is sewn in such a way that no air leaks. The cut, by following the shape of the hips, creates a feminine silhouette. Plus, it's incredibly lightweight at 200g. I used to swear by duck or goose down, but now I'm changing my mind! The loft is very even, unlike natural down. It really looks like a natural down vest. Well done, Cimalp! And thank you!
