Is the Dixon-NFR warm enough for winter?

Yes for city winters with a sweater underneath. The 90/10 down fill and windproof shell handle cold and wind, but the bomber length leaves the lower body exposed in deep cold.

Does it have a detachable hood?

Yes. The hood detaches, so you can wear it as a clean bomber or add it for wet, windy days.

It is cut as a trim bomber. Most buyers take their usual size for a close fit, or size up to layer a thick sweater underneath.

Is it windproof and breathable?

Yes. The two-layer membrane blocks wind while letting moisture escape, which suits active commuting.

How should I care for the down fill?

Wash it sparingly on a gentle cycle with down-safe detergent and tumble dry low with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid regular dry cleaning, which can strip the down.

How does it compare with a puffer?

It is trimmer and shorter than a full puffer, so it looks sharper but covers less of the body. A long puffer wins in extreme cold; the Dixon-NFR wins on style and mobility.
