This is my first fully vegan winter jacket, and I was somewhat iffy on it becuase I'm still transitioning, and I've gone every winter with down jackets with wool lining. I'd been really looking forward to trying Noize actually, since my wife picked a really beautiful full length all-black winter coat last year and it looks so warm and comfy, while also looking stunning. So I sprung for mine this winter, and I'm impressed. I'd been leaning toward getting the lighter, diamond-quilted jacket that comes without a hood, and I still plan to get that one at some point, but I'm seriously very impressed by how insanely warm my Noize jacket is. Blows Canada Goose and Moose Knuckle away, honestly. My only thing though, is I think sizing may have been off. I normally fit a Canadian medium, and based on the sizing guide, it seemed to be business as usual here, but when I recieved my jacket, it felt like maybe I should have gone for the small instead. It isn't so much of a problem that I'd want to exchange it, but just feedback so maybe they review their sizing information. Wonderful product that rivals all the $1200 winter jacket brands at a fraction of the monetary cost, and none of the life cost.
