Cons
Chest + armpits don't fit right for everyone
Summary
Stripes aren’t the only way to jazz up a down jacket. Kuhl keeps it simple with the Spyfire with panels over the chest that smooth out the baffles.
The combination of larger baffles at the chest and back maximize warmth while smaller baffles at the sides and arms cut down bulk and retain mobility.
The yoke has a stronger fabric for durability while the underarms are a stretchy knit to vent heat. I’d also get this jacket just for the five zipper pockets – two chest pockets, two hand pockets, plus one on the upper sleeve.
This jacket looks good, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t perform.
All in all, the Spyfire combines fashion and function. It’s available for men as a jacket, hoodie, or vest. For women, a longer parka is also an option.
Who Should Buy?
A down jacket that looks good, feels great, and lasts a long time.
