Warm + Stylin' |

| I like versatile layers and I luv, luv, luv this new down jacket. Compared to my first down jacket purchase (back in the last century:-) that looked like tubes of weinerschnitzel encased in red nylon, this is a mighty step forward style wise yet it's still functional and hard working. Not sure why they decided to warp the usual grid like stitching that holds the down in place, but it creates a nice but subtle assymetrical surface texture that looks good. Guess their designers decided to 'get off the grid' - nice touch. Color is good too - not too acidy bright and saturated or too dark , rainy day depressing. Finally, I'm rather long waisted and I find the length of this good, not too short like a lot of what's out there. One last thing - I originally bought this to wear underneath a water proof shell and it fits fine as an in between layer. mentioned |

Well made, well cut. |

| This jacket works well as a emergency layer to stuff in your pack. It fits nicely under and Arcteryx Alpha shell. It appears to be well made. We have only used it four times to date so time will tell whether it holds up. The neck is cut very well in that you don't feel choked or restricted when zipped up and under a shell. The body also is contoured nicely for a snug fit. I would definitely consider buying Isis products in the future. |

The best investment |

| I received my Isis Whisper Jacket days before the deep cold settled in, and I couldn't be more thankful since it hasn't been above freezing in about a month! This jacket has kept me warm on bitter cold days that "warmed up" to -20 degrees. The jacket is incredibly lightweight for the warmth it provides, and the stitching is flattering. I highly recommend this jacket for those who like to play outside in winter, or for those who just want to survive it! |

Cute and Colorful |

| This jacket was true to size and color. It also has an energetic floral print inside and inside the pockets. The stitching is not the typical square grid, but a combination of diamonds and diagonals. I am almost 5'10" and the jacket fits both my waist length and arm length. The jacket is also very lightweight, and is form-fitting so will be easy to layer under a shell. |

So cute - toasty but not roasty |

| Isis keeps the wild lining quiet in their marketing, but this floral interior brings me much happiness. The fit is great. Not bulky at all. Storm is a great color, not to blue, but not too earthy. Its long enough to cover all my sweaters. I highly recommend this jacket. |

It's now my everyday jacket |

| I wear it everyday because it's so comfortable and warm. I love the floral lining and the inside pockets. Being tall, I always find it hard to find a jacket with sleeves that are long enough. This jacket is a great fit without the bulk. |

Light and attractive |

| Light and attractive jacket, however, I ended up returning and purchasing a Mountain Hardwear Jacket that fit better, a little higher Down content. |
