Review from Powder7.com: "I purchased the Patagonia Down Sweater last December and from the time it arrived at my doorstep until mid May (when winter finally ends here in the Rockies), it was a staple of my wardrobe. As someone who is always cold and who unfortunately cannot have the heat cranked up to 80 degrees in the winter, I wore it not only as an added insulation layer for skiing and winter frolicking, but also to stay cozy at the office and even at home. I found it kept me at an ideal level of warmth when the temperature ranged from 25 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit outside. And, since it is compact enough to fold up and keep in my purse for those questionable days, I toted it along with me throughout the springtime."Overview:

Patagonias Mission Statement is: Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis. These elements are reflected in all of their products. Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of a worldwide business that still makes clothes for climbing as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, paddling and trail running. Patagonias values reflect those of a business started by a band of climbers and surfers, and the minimalist style they promoted. The approach taken towards product design demonstrates a bias for simplicity and utility.
