I bought a Kathmandu down jacket on sale about a year ago. When I first got it, it leaked feathers all over the place. It stopped after a few weeks. It doesn't repel water, so I would wear it under a good rain jacket. It is decently warm and packs down (no pun intended) nicely, which can be used as a pillow while sleeping.
For city use I think its fine, and I do still take it on my outdoor trips. However, serious outdoor enthusiasts would invest their money elsewhere. That's my take. Hope it helps. |
