Hi Marina – A Brownie Point for you! Some edits and suggestions below in the standard EDIT/Edit/Comment format; after revising you may upload to http://tinyurl.com/zk8a69c Cheers, Richard ________________________ ### The jacket shell and lining are 100% Nylon. The interlining is 100% Polyester. ### Edit: No need to capitalize "nylon" or "polyester." ### The Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) Women's Hooded Down Jacket is an 800-fill downtek-treated goose down jacket.### EDIT: DownTek [Anything trademarked needs to be spelled exactly as the mark owner spells it. Here and one other place.] ### The neck area has 4.5 in (11.4 cm) of super-soft fleece all around. This keeps my neck warm when I wear the jacket open. And it keeps my chin warm when I have the jacket closed all the way to the top.### Edit/Comment: Does it block the wind? If so I'd mention that. ### 4) This low profile, fluffy down jacket does not give me the impression that I look like the Michelin man when I am wearing it. ### Edit: low-profile [with a hyphen] EDIT: Michelin Man [Another trademarked item] Comment: Good image! ### I feel cold easily and this down jacket has kept me comfortable and warm on all the occasions that I have worn it. I have worn the EMS hooded down jacket over a light undershirt and a long-sleeve shirt on some occasions. Plus when it was very cold, I have worn it with an undershirt, a long-sleeve shirt plus a fleece shirt underneath. ### Edit: Can you estimate the temperature ranges for when you don the jacket, and when there's a need for another layer? "very cold" is not too specific. Adding this would aid your Review. ### After 20 months of use, I see no torn threads or other imperfections. It has held up very well. ### Edit: Have you washed it or otherwise cared for it? If so, indicate what you've done; if not, say so.
