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.

Mine only heats if you have heavy cover on it & then in spots. Some spots are cold.

Wish I could tell you, only have done cold items. Would imagine it would work though

I would agree with the others. I did a quick google search and it does sound as though it might have something to do with the layers possibly not fusing together properly. Definitely not normal! I thoroughly enjoy mine, so you may want to give some thought to giving them a second chance and have them replace it. Good luck with whatever you decide! :)

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.

Mine does the same thing, not to mention that lack of insulation lets the cold in generally. It seems to be closing more regularly after several months of use.

Unfortunately, there is no cool/cold setting, just low and high. It's not a problem for me but obviously is a deal breaker for you.

I haven't had that problem but I am not completely happy either with my own issue. The windage knob on the rear sight moves when I change the sight aperture from large to small. This obviously changed my zero. I kept them only because I was looking for a work around and they were relatively inexpensive. They had good reviews but I wouldn't buy again.

Glad to hear that, because mine was comfy right out of the box! I was going to say there must have been something very wrong with yours, until I came here and saw that yours was just very cold.

That problem hasn't occurred yet. I am stuck with this blanket for the rest of the winter and have nothing good to say about it. It isn't something you can't cuddle with as it's stiff, material resembles felt and and tends to tear. If my cats walk on it it tearsNo auto shut off. Irregular heating on chosen temp. I hate it!! I will be sure to check reviews more carefully.

No, if its relatively new I'd return it as defective. Frankly, I have not used mine this winter since it leaves so much condensation around it. I got a much smaller one next to my bed....

That's probably at the edge of it, if you're talking about jacket and bibs. I sat in an ice hut with good heat in my bibs and a sweatshirt and I was fine, but I wouldn't want to have kept the jacket on. Obviously personal tolerance comes into play. It's definitely the best deep cold suit for the money - worth every penny.

I never had this issue.... It has literally been the best blanket we have ever purchased!! I only by aden and anais products now, they are our favorite and our childrens favorite!!

No, it doesn't have any features like that. I use my fleece liner as my bag, and my sleeping bag as my blanket, so it's not a problem for me!

I own a pair and I have had no problems with rippiing or tearing. Because both pairs are doing the same thing, I suspect you might be kneeling on them or maybe the cold winter weather is breaking down the leather. I do not think they are supposed to be exposed to that kind of cold. I just use them for getting in my pond.

This duvet has baffle-box construction, not sewn-through construction; baffle-box is better in my opinion as you don't get cold spots at the seams. Whether it's open or closed baffle-box I don't know, but I always fluff up my duvets at least once a week anyway, and this keeps the down from shifting around. It's a lovely duvet and wonderfully light and cozy!

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.
