Does anyone find that the sewn-through design is a negative feature that makes for cold spots?

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

Yes, it is. However, if the surface isn't porous or rough, you'll probably see adhesion failure, especially when it gets cold.

I've had mine for a long time and the same thing happened. What I did is to get a couple of large back to back velcro pieces and it seems to stay. You can also get some heavy duty super strength glue to hold the bottom velcro piece just make sure it isn't flammable. Regardless of the problem with the gooey velcro fall offs this toastie tush has saved my tush from freezing many mornings, lol. Good Luck

It is not sewn in and it squirms on you when you move around in it. This bag is overated about it's temperature rating, in 40 degree wx you will feel cold! I would not buy again, maybe I would if it was $25.00 and advertised as a 30 Degree bag.

I just noticed mine doing the same thing last night. Perhaps if we can find a friend who sews!! It'd be cute to make a cover for it somehow!

I have not noticed this with mine. However, I used it in a small apartment for one winter. I have not used this in nearly two years.

It is my understanding that a true baffle box comforter has vertical interior walls, and a side wall on the outside, that create a 3-D affect. This is supposed to allow for the most loft, eliminate cold spots, and control any migration of the feathers. There is another style that is similar, a sew-through, that creates squares in the comforter, but does have cold spots along the stitched area as there are almost no feathers at the seams. FYI, the people at Warm Things are quite helpful with any questions you may have regarding their products.

I haven't had any problems, however, I'm very careful when sewing with fabrics such as heavy denim, using extra caution when sewing over the multi-layered seams. The machine does not skip stitches and I am very happy with the quality of the stitching.

The first one I ordered had the same issue, I think; an area of the mesh is slightly smushed or disfigured. The replacement I just received has the same issue. I'm reluctant to return it yet again, but I just can't believe this should be normal or expected for such a high quality (priced) item. Plus, I'm sure it works just fine, but it's going to irk me every time I see it. I'm really surprised Matfer distributes them in plastic bags and not boxes.

IMO they aren't really noticeable. You could cut the cloth zipper assist thing off to make them more subtle.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."

You might get mixed answers, but I tend to freeze with mine! Thick sheet will help with that though.

We have the same issue. I was thinking about ironing the felt on a low setting and seeing if that helped.

It must be defective... thought slim, mine has nicely sewn buttonholes along the top.

This unit isn't constructed as an expedition bag with floating, overlapping v-channels. The long seams are sewnthrough but the comforter is so heavy & the fill so insulating that there are no cold spots. You can open your bedroom windows in January and still be toasty.

You are probably correct. I retuned it because my accessories bumped into one another. Keep searching amazon because there are other versions that have more distance between the cold shoes.

I didn't experience that but I did wear it rather snugly. I liked that it was shorter than traditional ones and I used it while sailing in a small nutshell dinghy. But I will be using it with my kayak and may experience that too.
