Sergey93This is not a ski jacket by its self, and I can promise you that you will be soaked if this is all you are wearing on the hill. However, this would be perfect under a good technical shell for staying nice and warm on cold days while skiing. :)
I'd be interested if there was a jacket made with primaloft or some other non-down insulation. Aside from allergy to down, I'm also not really into being warm at the expense of some goose or duck having it's feathers torn from it's skin.
NoReason24An 8-week delay on deals won't help your situation. It was most likely on the direct OR website. They have marked down gear on there all the time.
So is there and eta for shipping?? The reason I ask is I bought this as a lay min purchase to go on a thru hike with me... Got a lil more than a month till I leave... Really hoping im going to see it... But the o.r. Gloves I ordeed from you more than a month ago still haven't shipped with no sign of... Again eta??
Exactly what day and time does this drop end?? I'd like to get in on it but gotta make sure I've got the $$ laying around... Need to know if I have to transfer before then... Thanks
And as stepbystep said the times I've had this happen were not a limited quantity thing... Atleast not to my knowledge... You guys are usually pretty good about making that clear....

Anyone who has this jacket have an opinion on fill loft? Looking at the pictures I'm not impressed, to be honest. I have an Eddie Bauer First Ascent sweater and the loft is much greater than this.
SantiagoDracoHard to go by photos sometimes since you don't know how it was packed/shipped and how long it's been sitting out to normalize and plump up (shaking and fluffing only do so much...still needs some time to acclimatize, so to speak). It uses 3.5oz of down, but it's 650 power so it's not going to be quite as poofy. It's got decent warmth. 650 has some advantages over higher fill powers sometimes, too, because it's a little more resistant to compression. This jacket also uses a heavier taffeta fabric for the lining (40d I think) and that comes into play as well (warmth retention, durability, and another ounce or so of weight). Warmthwise it's kind of like a heavier less expensive version of the more expensive ultralight pieces like the Ghost Whisperer, etc, etc. Probably will not want to wear it while moving until it's below freezing and at rest it should be comfy to around freezing depending on your layers.
SantiagoDracoI've owned a four-year old hoodless version of this jacket, and it's just now wearing out. I've been using it in deep cold, in the outdoors, and while doing wilderness backpacking in below-freezing temperatures. Assuming the design hasn't changed, and it doesn't appear to have, I can comment on the loft and warmth.
I like the jacket a lot, but yes, it isn't the 'loftiest' down jacket out there. I think this is a good thing, if you use it appropriately. This jacket has provided me more warmth but less breathability than a patagonia nano-puff, and more breathability but less warmth than the Sierra Designs puffy I use for the coldest temperatures. This is a mid-weight puffy, and of course you can find puffies in a bunch of different weights for different purposes. I don't think you'd be well served by simply buying the jacket with the most loft you can find...
If you can describe how you hope to use the jacket I'm sure folks can help say if this is a good choice, but all I can say is that I've enjoyed using this jacket while snowshoeing, backpacking and being outdoors during the daytime at temps below 20deg. I'll also throw this jacket on when the sun sets while I'm backpacking with daytime highs around 30-35deg. I've sometimes brought this jacket for sleeping or insurance when nighttime temps get down to 35-40deg. Again, assuming no major changes, this jacket has served those purposes nicely. It is breaking down a little faster than I'd hoped, but overall I think I've gotten good value for my purchase. Of course, all IMO, FWIW, and accept this feedback at your discretion! ;o) (edit: oh, and hopefully this goes without saying, but all the uses I described above were as part of a layering system... So I don't mean I wore the jacket and was otherwise naked...)
