This is a warm, hooded winter/fall jacket.

Unless you're on an expedition to Denali or dog-sledding across the frozen tundra, an expedition-weight jacket is overkill. After all, the Burton Dorset men's down jacket has all of the features that you'll need for a weekend at Telluride or a week in the woods, without adding any of the bulk. The shell was constructed of a ripstop polyester/nylon fabric, and insulated with 500 down fill.

The body and sleeves have a diamond-pattern, quilted stitch. It adds visual interest, but more importantly, it keeps the down feathers evenly distributed across the jacket. So, you won't have to worry about the insulation migrating to the bottom.

The ripstop shell is treated with durable, water-repellent coating (DWR) to help water

 droplets roll right off.
