just saw your review, and I can confirm this after 4 years of wear, that this down jacket leaks feathers like no tomorrow. I always use a laundry net for most uniqlo products because, although they are higher quality for price, they are not as durable as Uniqlo claims. FYI for all future Uniqlo buyers. Your video was very helpful. I'm going to Taiwan for a month, and your review helped me to prepare for another emergency jacket: Uniqlo Pocketable Parka. LOL hope this one lasts too.
Thanks for watching the vid, and for your kind words, bro! Good to know about your experience with this down jacket too. I haven't tried the Pocketable Parka yet - I hope it performs well in your trip to Taiwan, and beyond!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have the hooded one from 6-7 years ago and there’s been no issues. I have an even older 850 North Face that’s even better if someone wanted to upgrade.
Great video and review! Really loved the thorough details of the jacket and putting into context from your travels :) looking forward to more contents!
They actually do use a high quality zipper. If you look carefully, you can see that it's YKK brand. I think what you might not like is the tiny size of the zipper which makes it somewhat difficult to utilize? It does help keep the jacket as light as possible though.
I didn't even realize the zipper was YKK! Yeah, not sure why it just wasn't working as smoothly for me. Could be the small size of the zipper indeed 🤷🏽♂️
That's awesome! Glad to hear yours is holding up well. I definitely think I got a bad version, and made it worse 😅 Thanks for your comment, and checking out the video! 👍🏽
I have 2 ultra jackets and 1 vest from Uniqlo. Washed them so many times. Oldest of the three is over 10 years. None of them leak feathers that much, so I don't know what you're talking about.
Wow, glad to hear that you have had great experiences with your Uniqlo ultra light jackets! All of my Uniqlo stuff is good also...except this particular jacket. So, I really think I got a faulty product for this one. I love all my Uniqlo clothes otherwise 👍🏽
I had the same problem with feathers too. Got all over the cloth seats off my car that I kept a lint roller handy. I replaced mine with a north face nuptse
Sorry to hear you had the same problem with the feathers too! That sucks. Must've been annoying to have that lint roller on deck all the time. I haven't heard of the North Face Nuptse - just looked it up and it sure looks puffy; it must really keep you warm!
Great first vid! I personally have this jacket and I live in Canada and love it! Unfortunate that yours leaked so much, mine has very minor leaking so I still use it every fall
Hey Raph - thanks a bunch for the kind words! Glad to hear yours works great in keeping you warm up there in Canada. I might have a to buy a new one in the future. Great work over on your channel as well. Keep those outfits comin' - you got a sub in me! 🙌🏽
Seems like you have a faulty one or they just don't make them like they used to. I bought mine back in 2015 (still looks good as new) and it doesn't leak even when I wash it. I was looking to replace it in a few years but now I might look for another brand if it has those problems. Thanks.
Hi Daniel, thanks for checking out the vid! Yes, I totally agree - I think I received a faulty jacket. Glad to hear yours from 2015 is still cranking - that's awesome!! Good luck trying to find another brand - I'm open to trying others as well. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found it helpful, and I wish you the best with yours when you buy it. And yes, I'm grateful to have tested it out in one of the most beautiful countries 😍 Cheers!
I live in himalayan valley of Kashmir and temperatures here get down as low as 0 degree Celcius during the day and it snows heavy..do you think it will be a good use here?
Hello! In 0 degrees Celsius, I would have to wear at least two very thick layers underneath this Uniqlo jacket to stay warm. Since this is an entry level down jacket, I wouldn't recommend this for you in that weather, especially with heavy snow! You may need a tougher jacket. Cheers!
This would be great on a camping/hiking trip - I used mine on a few hikes! It's great for warmth in the cool early mornings, and for stuffing into my bag when it gets hot out. And yes, I am 🇵🇭! !
I machine washed it in a top loading washing machine (with an agitator) with other clothes, on a regular setting. Apparently, this is not the ideal way 😅 A more ideal way is to wash the down jacket with a front loading washing machine (or gentle cycle on a top loading machine) and use down specific cleaner over normal detergent. To dry, keep it on low and put some tennis balls in there. Good luck man, and let me know how it goes!
That's about the lowest temperature that I wore this in, and I needed a couple layers. For me, in 1C, I definitely need to have extra layers, even with this jacket. 🥶
Hmm, specifically for warmer spring weather - not that I currently know of. They're usually meant to keep you warm in cooler, lower temps. Let me know if you find one though!
Thanks for watching! Do you have the Uniqlo Ultra Light Down jacket or want to buy one? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! ⬇️
I was thinking to buy it but now I changed my mood
Nice review, I think people can relate that finding a good jacket is actually quite difficult even if they look extremely basic lol
Thanks for the kind words!! Yes I agree. It's really hard to find that go-to, "one jacket" that checks all the boxes haha. Cheers!

That's dope that your Uniqlo and North Face down jackets are going strong after so many years! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great video and review! Really loved the thorough details of the jacket and putting into context from your travels :) looking forward to more contents!
Hey Wesley, thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Looks like you have some great vids on your channel as well. Subbed, keep it up yourself!
@@journeyanywear Thank you so much! :D Really Appreciate it

I have this for 2 years.... zippers are still good and does not leak.

if you machine wash, you have to put it on delicates , normal wash would destroy the strength of the seams and cause feather leakage
Definitely a great tip here! 💯💯
I had the same problem with feathers too. Got all over the cloth seats off my car that I kept a lint roller handy. I replaced mine with a north face nuptse

anything down (coat, jacket, sleeping bag, etc) should never leave it stored in a stuff sack. it’s meant to be used temporarily.
Good to know! Thank you for the tip. Looks like I learned this the hard way lol 😅

Awesome video and helpful info with the jacket as I plan on buying it. What a location to test it out in Switzerland! Cheers!

about the cons, Zipper snag, almost 1 year of using it and never happen to me.
Glad it's never happened to you 👍🏽 Cheers!!

Great review! Thanks!
Hi Ruvelyn, you're most welcome! Thank you for the kind words!
Big mistake machine washing, the care instructions say clearly cold hand wash, and line dry..
Big mistake indeed! I'm so used to throwing everything in the washer. I definitely learned my lesson! 😆
I have 2 of these jackets 1 in black size large and 1 in navy size extra large. The black one leaks feathers but the navy jacket is OK 👍
Glad to hear your navy jacket is OK! Gives me hope if I purchase a 2nd version of this jacket :)
What T-shirt are you wearing? The Grey and the Blue one
Hi Skinner! Grey: Western Rise X Cotton Tee, Blue: Uniqlo Supima Cotton Tee. Thanks for watching!
I hate that the feathers are keep poking out. But it’s comfortable
Yeah bro! The feathers can get annoying - hope you don't have as much leakage as mine. But you're right, it's definitely comfortable! 🙌🏽 🙌🏽
Do you recommend it on camping trip. In cold weather hikes. BTW are u filipino?
This would be great on a camping/hiking trip - I used mine on a few hikes! It's great for warmth in the cool early mornings, and for stuffing into my bag when it gets hot out. And yes, I am 🇵🇭! !
They put high quality zips on their blocktech jackets but skimping on this one disappointing really.
Good to know the blocktech jacket zippers are dependable. I still need to get one of those! Thanks.
It's good but the feathers keep slowly coming out
Hopefully, you don't get as much leakage as my jacket!
I have this jacket in the same color but idk how to wash it...It says hand wash but I want to machine wash...what did you do?
I machine washed it in a top loading washing machine (with an agitator) with other clothes, on a regular setting. Apparently, this is not the ideal way 😅 A more ideal way is to wash the down jacket with a front loading washing machine (or gentle cycle on a top loading machine) and use down specific cleaner over normal detergent. To dry, keep it on low and put some tennis balls in there. Good luck man, and let me know how it goes!
Juts do it on a light or delicate wash
Is it fine if I wear it in winter, here it touches 1 degree Celsius?
That's about the lowest temperature that I wore this in, and I needed a couple layers. For me, in 1C, I definitely need to have extra layers, even with this jacket. 🥶
The feather leak is normal
Some feather leak is normal for sure...but I had a lot of leakage!!
What color is this version?
This is the gray color!
What size is your jacket?
Hi Jesus! The jacket's size was mentioned at 1:39 :)
Is this Better than woodland brand.. Plz rply bro i m frm india..
Hey bro! Thanks for your comment...unfortunately, I haven't tried the woodland brand. But this is a good jacket...I'd say just go for it!
I see what you did there with “pufftential” 😏
Lmao! You're the first one who's commented about that 😂 Thanks for watching!! 😊
Are there puffer jackets for warmer spring weather?
Hmm, specifically for warmer spring weather - not that I currently know of. They're usually meant to keep you warm in cooler, lower temps. Let me know if you find one though!
@@journeyanywear I saw some at Walmart but I didn't like the color selection. I ordered the Amazon brand one. Hopefully, it's thin.
@@jf8050 Nice! I've never ordered an Amazon brand jacket. Hope it works out for ya
You’re pinoy if you do strut moves. 😀
