This is my first down jacket and I really love it. Before I bought this from Altrec, I determined between TNF and Mountain Hardwear. It's difficult to pick one. But after went to try on that some local stores,I inlcined to TNF because of its fabric and construction. The collar and sleeves lengths are just right. This jacket is really warm. It's my warmest and ligthest jacket. It keeps me warmer than TNF parka snapped with fleece jacket. I mostly use it in the city with less activities. It was too warm for skiing which I did last couple weeks during (probably)the coldest weekend at Winter Park, CO. However,there are still some glitches that I don't like e.g.some down poked out (but very few),no enhancement in some areas (e.g. shoulders, elbows),I could snap with my old TNF parka only on the left side,less down for sleeves. Overall, it's my favorite jacket now as it's soft, warm, and light. It also protects wind. Discount price at Altrec made me make a decision easier for my first down and the service was superb. I got mine within couple days. I also like the choice that we can return without paying shipping cost.

Like the classic fit and comfy feel. I compared it to the similar Patagonia model and stuck with the North Face. Just wish the white NF logo (on my black coat) wasn't so 'in your face' on the front...the back is more subtle and really only one logo is necessary (if any at all). Can't wait for it to get colder again to wear it...next fall and winter!

This coat looks great and is very stylish. If that's what your looking for, it's an A+. I get cold easily and did not find this to be the warmest coat. The sleeves have very little down filling in them. I would recommend layering if you get cold easily. Also this coat is very slick on the outside and when you lay it down somewhere, you have to make sure there is plenty of room or it will slide right off. If you are looking for extreme warmth, this is not the coat for you, but it's very trendy and cute. I have seen a lot of them since I bought mine.

I have narrow feet that need a lot of toe room. That combination is hard to find but Merrell always fits my foot perfectly. There is no other shoe in the world that I would order without trying on. These were perfect right out of the box. No break-in period necessary at all. As everyone else has said, you just need to order a half size bigger. I recommend these wholeheartedly.

My friend and I walk 7-10 miles a day and these shoes are the best we've found. The arch support is perfect for longer hikes as well as your daily commute. I am planning to walk the Camino de Santiago (a 489 mile walk across northern Spain)next spring and these will be the shoes I wear. Thanks for such a great product and service.

Bought these as a Christmas gift for my daughter and she loved them. We like the Keen brand, and she thinks they are fab because of the color! Fit true to size (she is a 7) and very plush on the inside!
