Product Description
Whether you’re traveling cross-country or hunkering down at camp, the Outdoor Research Illuminate down hooded jacket is built to keep you warm when the temperature drops. It’s made from 10d ripstop nylon that's been packed with 800-fill goose down insulation for an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio Read More
I emailed OR and was told they fill the men’s hoody with 81 g (2.86 oz) of 800 power.
So with a total total weight of almost 12oz, and a 10d and 20d construction, they’re really holding this jacket back with a bunch of unnecessary pockets and stuff. Too bad.
Just a note for anyone out there but Outdoor Research is doing some crazy deals on their own site right now. I'm talking like 70% off 400 dollar coats and stuff crazy.
So, OR doesn't know the down fill weight of this jacket? That would give us some idea of it's relative warmth, compared to say a MH Ghost Whisperer, or Montane North Star Lite.
OR measures sleeve length differently from most folks. It seems as though the arms are short, but the measurement they give is from the shoulder to the wrist. Has anyone had issues with sleeve length?
