This jacket was more of a Notkauf. I had a few months earlier ordered this jacket in the same color as a down jacket. It was the absolute favorite jacket my 9 year old daughter. Unfortunately, the down were brownish in the jacket and have discolored the entire jacket in the first wash. (Amazon was very accommodating and the jacket took back!) In a dark jacket, this probably would not have noticed, but the green jacket was blown completely. Now I needed quickly a new jacket and have decided on the Primaloft variant. It is not as bulky as the down jacket, but can be washed fantastic what ever more frequently of distress at such a bright color. My daughter has even worn on cold days and said the jacket was very warm. Even a rainstorm keeps the jacket standing. In retrospect, I am very satisfied with the purchase of this jacket and would prefer this model of a down jacket over forever.
