as others have already said, it's warm without being weighty and bulky, and it does run large. i almost always wear a size medium, but the small is a much better fit. it isn't intended to hug the body closely like typical puffers (it's a relaxed fit), which may be why some people are sizing down 2 ...whole sizes. for me, 1 down was sufficient. and whether i wear a t-shirt underneath or sweatera , it doesn't look especially oversized. ...i like the length, and the details are just... clean, down to the snaps. i bought this to replace my S13 harper, which must be made for anarctica! manuevering in it was a whole project! LOL the stratus is perfect!
I bought this because I was very happy with the Athleta puffer parka I purchased last year. However, this one feels a bit too shapeless, which may not be as flattering for women. The sleeves are also quite long, and the logo placement on the pockets and sleeves sits too low. While oversized styles c...an look great, I think this design would benefit from more tailoring or a more flattering silhouette. Another option could be offering a petite version or removing/repositioning the logo. That said, the jacket is lightweight and feels very soft when worn. I would also love to see more color options, such as taupe or beige—black and navy are great. Overall, I hope Athleta continues to expand petite sizing (for pants as well), or offers hemming services, to better support shorter customers.

This coat is everything for the cold winter months. It has a hood and is longer for warmth. The reviews said to size down and I am glad I did.

I love this coat and the fact that it has a detachable hood. It runs a bit large, so sizing was tricky at first, but once I found the right size (Small/Petite -- for reference I am 5'5" and 125 lbs), it was a perfect fit! It's so warm & cozy -- and I like that it's machine washable, too.

This is a beautiful jacket but much too oversized. I typically wear a medium/size 8 and ordered the petite medium thinking it would be the right size for my petite frame. I am swimming in this jacket- as if I am wearing a giant sleeping bag. I purchased on final sale so will be selling or donating it. I'm so disappointed!

I love this parka even if it's huge. I sized down based on the reviews but I still drown in it. It's like wearing a comforter.

This jacket is fantastic. I had to reorder three times to get the right size, but finally landed on the XS. I had seen reviews to say size down but I struggle with coats feeling too tight and want room so I ordered a medium. It was massive. Ordered my usual size small and it was "ok" but style wise it didn't offer much. Decided to follow the crowd and ordered the xs and finally, it was perfect. Looks so good, feels good and fits perfectly...so definitely SIZE DOWN ONE. Great coat. Love the hood and two way zipper too.

I loved this the second I put it on: beautiful dark brown, high quality material, zips up and own easily, and super warm. I did read the many comments about sizing down, which I did and was needed. It does allow those of us with a pear shape or bigger middle enough room.

I really like this coat. Bought it on clearance / final sale in hopes of finding a warm, long coat. Sizing — I'm 5'6, 136 lbs and usually wear a small or XS in clothes. I bought the XXS. The body portion fits great — still has enough room. Arms are a smidge snug and it's a smidge short when i use the finger holes. But not a deal breaker. I probably should have gotten the XS but it was final sale. Also like that you can unzip it from the bottom when needed for movement.

I ordered the coat for my mother in law since she needed a petite warm coat. As most suggested to size down I'm glad I did. Normally a size medium the small was perfect.
