Front and back princess seams create an attractive, feminine silhouette that falls just above the knee. The full-length, two-way front zip lets you ventilate above or below. With on-seam handwarmer pockets and interior drop-in pockets.

Seriously Awesome Coat

Rating:*****

I wore my new coat today in a snow storm in Chicago (with windchill, around 10 degrees and very windy) and felt snug as a bug. I love Patagonia's down sweater and wanted something just as light and compressible but in coat form, and the Fiona fits the bill. The Fiona is different from the down sweater in a couple of respects. First, the fit is completely different: while the down sweater is boxy and roomy, the Fiona is more fitted and lean. I am 5'2", 115 lbs and fit comfortably in an XS, but I probably can only fit an R2 underneath it; anything more would render the shoulders kind of tight. Secondly, the Fiona appears to be designed as an urban, "fashion" coat as compared to the down sweater's often more sportive, technical use (I use the down sweater as a mid-layer for hiking, camping and skiing, while I envision the Fiona as more useful while wandering about the city). For example, the Fiona does not have the down sweater's built-in compression sack pocket that is so useful for packing. The Chantarelle is a great color - kind of a grayish cream color that looks great against black.

great coat-great business

Rating:*****

I like to give credit where credit is due. I've always loved all the Patagonia clothing I've purchased. This coat is no different. I bought this for my girlfriend who is a flight attendant in Alaska. She wears it as her winter coat and loves it. It can also be worn out on a night on the town. Its very stylish, sexy, and yet practical and very warm and light in weight. I wanted to give thumbs up to Backcountry too... I ordered this coat online-it was on sale (Patagonia never goes on sale) and had it (during the Christmas season) in only a few days (and I live in Alaska). I've ordered other things from Backcountry and have the same great service. I am really picky with shopping online and I really like doing business with companies that provide great products, quickly and have great customer service-Backcountry is one company I will continue to business with over and over. Thanks for a great product and great customer service.

I bought this and the Patagonia Down With It Parka, both from Zappos, to compare the two in anticipation of my upcoming trip to the Winter Olympics. They're both awesome, the Fiona is basically a longer down sweater (which I've had and loved for several years) and the Down With It a warmer but not much bulkier coat. RE: sizing, I'm a standard XS, 5'6/110 lbs (and by the way, Zappos was about the only place I could find both of these in xs including the Patagonia site) and sizing is true. Bottom line is that I'm keeping both; they're great additions to my winter arsenal. To top it off, I placed my order from my Florida house on the evening of New Year's Day, about 6 pm EST, and had my coats first thing Monday, and who would have thought I'd actually get to use them so quickly with this cold winter blast?! Awesome service, Zappos, you win again!

Great Coat

Rating:*****
I adore the Fiona. I love how lightweight it is - makes it easy to run around doing errands, walking the dogs, etc. I have Patagonia's Down Sweater as well, and this is the equivalent in a coat style, except that it is cut leaner and therefore looks more fashion-forward. The chanterelle color is beautiful - kind of cream/gray shade. There is no compression sack pocket like there is in the Down Sweater, which is kind of a bummer because I am less likely to travel with it. I am fine with wearing the coat alone down to about 15 degree weather. After that, I think that you need to use it as a mid-layer, maybe wearing a capilene 4 baselayer underneath and/or topping it with a trench shell, like the Rain Shadow Trench Coat. I use it with the Rain Shadow Trench during wet and cold days, and they fit perfectly together!

Warm, technical urban garment; really a long alpinist down sweater. Super light, ultrapackable, 800 fill power so very warm, but no linings, no hood, no extras to add weight or bulk. A great coat for traveling! It's warm, though; last night kept me comfy in a howling wind and 20 degree temps in New York (with hat, scarf, gloves, thin sweater underneath). I do wish it were a bit more flattering than the horizontal baffles make it, but it's not too bad (better looking on than the Down with It). I am 5'2, 130 lb, a size 4-6 and really need a medium! This is a close-fitting garment, I sized up and am glad I did.

Second Review, Love this Jacket!

Rating:*****

We were at our local outdoors store when my wife stumbled upon this jacket. She tried it on and fell in love! I didn't purchase it on the spot because of the price. Two weeks later I was on this website and saw they had it marked 20% off. My wife loves this jacket, yesterday it was 20 degrees outside, she took the dog for a walk, came back and said she never once got cold. This jacket is very thin, but keeps you oh so warm. Don't let the price stop you from buying this jacket, you will not regret it!

A big thanks to backcountry for making this buy an excellent experience. I will be back.

The coat came to my home and felt like feather weight when I picked up the package. I could not believe and entire medium coat was enclosed in the package.

I love the slim fit. the coat does not keep me as warm as I had thought, but I can layer better and still enjoy the chic look of the coat, the responsible buying that is patagonia, and the down comfort.

Great Looking Jacket Just Not As Warm As Expected

Rating:****
This jacket is super light - great to travel with. But like the other reviewer, I did not find the jacket to be as warm as expected given it is 800 down. This is a great jacket for the fall or slight chillly days but not the ideal jacket for a really cold winter day. I do like how it is a snug fit and A-line cut. Looks great. I bought a size M (normally S wear size 6) because I wanted to be able to layer below. Worked out fine.

I absolutely love this jacket! I own 3 Patagonia Down Sweaters, but this one is my very favorite since it’s more stylish than the others, and therefore has more uses. The coat isn’t bulky at all, and the 800 down is nice and warm. I find it runs a bit small in the shoulders so have had to order up one size. Once the sizing was figured out, I was in heaven! I loved it so much I bought a second one just in case they stopped making the style.

Warm, lightweight, great fit

Rating:*****
The Fiona is my new favorite winter jacket. The materials make it very light and packable (PERFECT for traveling), but the 800 fill down is actually very warm. Just right for a snowy Utah winter. The fit is great: taylored and feminine, but roomy enough to accommodate a sweater underneath. And the style makes it very versatile. I wear mine out to nice dinners, to the grocery store, and on cold nighttime walks with my dog. I just wish I had this jacket when I went to Europe last winter!

Don't buy this if you're looking for a warm winter parka. This coat is in no way a "parka"; it is not lined, can't compare with real down parkas such as North Face for warmth or as a weather shield on a cold winter day. The coat offers a flattering shape, is lightweight (like a long sweater), but lacks quality or any detail (including lining) that justifies the price! Additionally, the off-white is more like beige. I wear a women's size 10 and the Large, I purchased, is quite wide and doesn't fit nicely across the chest; too much fabric where the shoulders meet the bodice. I'm 5'5 1/2" and the length is good, as is the width across the hips. But I wouldn't normally wear a large.

Show me the warm

Rating:**

Beautiful jacket, but not 800-fill warm. I'm very slim at 5'4, 105 lbs, and always cold. The wind went right through this coat, and that was on a 40 degree day. It is a stylish coat with flattering lines, but for the money not warm enough for me. I returned it. It does run small. Quick tip: you can call Patagonia and they will tell you the specific measurements. Compare that to something you own for a good idea of fit.

Not what it's cracked up to be

Rating:*

I was VERY disappointed. It's light and though it's 800 fill down it is nowhere near as warm as my North Face Metropolis. After I return this I'm buying another Metropolis which is made for Chicago weather.

Stylish yet not good for super-cold climes

Rating:***

I ordered this jacket from another retailer as I thought it would be sufficient for the -40 windchills of Chicago, but when I received it, there was a small hole in the left shoulder already and so returned it. Good thing I did, because as I was researching for somewhere else to buy it from, I found several reviews indicating that it was too lightweight for truly cold temperatures. Which is sad, as this coat fit like a dream, looked great, and had an excellent texture. Not for Chicago, but appropriate for places that don't get much colder than the 'teens. (I tried on the Large, which fit my super-long arms and torso while allowing for a shirt and thickish cardigan underneath. I'm 5'8", 160 lbs)

A nice, slimming fall jacket

Rating:***
This coat was my first experience with Patagonia and I do like this coat for windy, fall days in the mid-30 degree range thru the mid-50 degree range. Coat is very light, thin, and form-fitting. Being that it was called a parka with 800 down fill, I was honestly expecting a much warmer jacket more appropriate for below-freezing temps. So, for me it's just a very nice flattering fall jacket, but not one I would recommend to anyone needing substantial warmth and wind coverage. Ordered a different down coat from Moosejaw that is much better for cold weather.

Heart of the autumn, maybe

Rating:***
I was excited when I saw this product. The styling is great, especially the below-knee length. Unfortunately, the jacket is much lighter than I expected. Based on the fact that it's an 800-fill down coat, I was hoping for something to get me through the hardest winter months.
If you're looking for a spring/fall jacket, or if you live somewhere without harsh weather, this is a fantastic piece. It's soft, beautiful, and (as with all Patagonia products) extremely well-made.
It didn't work for me, though.

It's good however...

Rating:***
This jacket is extremely light and it looks great - I've been complimented - however, despite its 800-fill goose down, it does not keep me warm in 25- (or below) degree weather. It works like a charm in 30- to 40-degree climates, but it wasn't all I expected to be since I tend to get extremely cold.
