This review is from: TAIGA Mont Blanc Extreme 800 - Men's Lightweight Warm Goose Down Jackets, Black, MADE IN CANADA (Apparel)

Very, very warm and cozy. Crazy warm.
Overall the cut of the coat is nice and stylish the stitching and quality seem to be above par. Seems pretty solid and is very, very light.

The fill is above par for most if not all of the down coats I've looked at in the $250 to $350 range and the hood is very large and accommodating. Also there are many nice pockets most fleece lined within the interior. Very nice and large flap behind zipper to keep cold from coming through.

There is a grid like pattern over the whole coat that isn't seen from available pictures. It has rip stop utilitarian purpose I guess but looks kind of techy.

Also on a $330 (it's $30 cheaper if you order from Taiga ??) coat from a manufacturer that boasts such Canadian quality and German engineering you'd think they would have a better warranty and return policy. Return it in 10 days or it's yours forever. And you pay shipping (both ways if you return) which is around $26 since it's in Canada.

If you got the money and want a technical coat that will probably last you for the next 10 years it seems worth it. But if you think the grid pattern will cramp your style maybe look elsewhere. If you order straight from Taiga the customer service was VERY good.
