This jacket is back at $99.99 again!

A few weeks ago it was on sale for $129.99. Someone pointed out that it'll be $99.99 again before winters end and to hold out.

Well it's back! Get it while it's cheap.

The legendary Halo down jacket is warm, compact and a great all-rounder – perfect for a range of activities – from urban adventure, through to travel, hiking and camping. Filled with 600 loft duck down, the Halo jacket will keep you warm in cooler temperatures throughout the year. It comes with an adjustable hem and elasticated cuffs for added functionality, and a separate stuff sac is included for maximum compression when storing or travelling.

Update 28/7 12:25AM - Added code 'explore' for additional 10% off. Thanks triplezzb

    I purchased from the previous deal, very nice jackets,

    Just a note that I was charged an international fee from my CC even though I paid in AUD because they are based in NZ

    If I had known I would have paid with my 28 degrees

      i had a similar experience with another NZ vendor.
      When i spoke to them, they credited the transaction fee.

      They said it's an issue of CC as it tries to fetch in NZD

        How cold was it when you were wearing it? Would you reckon it's suitable for UK / Scandinavia winter (with thermal underlayers), or am I better off getting something with thicker insulation?

        • NedStark102 on 27/07/2016 - 15:58

          I checked them out in the store today, and they aren't all that thick. Depends on the price jump to a more insulated option I guess, but I already have a similar sort of jacket that feels a lot warmer and I seem to be in between sizes, so I opted not to buy this one. Very comfy though!

      In the Sydney store, I saw they had up to 3XL haha….

      There was only 1 xs in black, 1 xs in grey left in the Sydney store. I bought the last grey xs one.

        I'm similar height + build and normally would wear medium. Measured my chest and according to their chart I'm medium.

        Medium arrived today, it's more like a typical large size (bit looser than I would expect of a warm layer which you want to be quite snug).

    • Brodenn on 27/07/2016 - 12:58
      +1

      Yeah like above, I bought 2xl using their size guide and had to size it down to a Large because they were huge. I'm 6'4 and normally an XL.

      I just went down and bought one, I'm 6'2" 34 waist slim build. I bought a small, which still has a bit of room around the tummy could do a thin jumper underneath. I like the length of the medium but it was too baggy for me.

      The arms are long on the small so fits pretty well.

  • NedStark102 on 27/07/2016 - 11:29
    +3

    Seems like a good deal, however i'm just wondering whether it's worth buying one given it is now the end of winter. Then again, living in tassie winter only really ends for a few weeks a year…. anyone have experience with these jackets?

    • corbz on 27/07/2016 - 11:45

      Can't comment on this particular jacket (but people who have it are giving positive comments), but I got my first down jacket this winter (Arcteryx) and it's one of my favorite purchases. It's a perfect mid layer. With a down jacket and a rain shell you are pretty set for any weather and it's easy to layer up/down as well.

      • NedStark102 on 27/07/2016 - 11:47

        That's always good to hear, I think it being actual down instead of synthetic stuff is probably a plus too. I think I might go suss the macpac store out (and probably purchase one) on my lunch break, as you would no doubt get a good few years, at the very least, out of one of these jackets.

    • ebosh on 27/07/2016 - 13:30

      My wife and I bought one each for an 8 day hike a couple of years ago and they held up surprisingly well given how poorly we treated them in the rain while setting up camp, getting stuffed away in the bottom of packs while still damp, worn around the campsites each night in reasonably dense scrub. They still get heaps of use and whenever I wash them they come up almost brand new.

      For sizing, I'm about 6'2 and hover around 100kg with very broad shoulders and I usually wear XL stuff but in hindsight I would have preferred to get an L instead. My wife is about 5'10 and 65kg and she has a M and could have gotten a S.

    • BaryGusey on 27/07/2016 - 18:11

      They come with a stuff sack and pack down pretty small, you should have no trouble storing it for those few weeks and having it ready for next winter!

      I have the uber light version (currently $89) and just leave it in my commuting bag permanently.

  • pastapins on 27/07/2016 - 11:31

    Thanks OP. Can anyone find an item worth $0.01 or close to make the order eligible for free shipping?

    • Gavman on 27/07/2016 - 11:34

      its $99.99 so I would rekon its FREE

      • Saiya on 27/07/2016 - 11:39

        Didn't realise it was free shipping over $100?

        • Gavman on 27/07/2016 - 11:44

          Pretty poor to add on $10 cos it 1c or 2c under the threshold. I would call them, they'll probably do something if it was a deal killer to making a sale surely they would to the free postage but then again they could be one of those business that don't care about customers so G-luck.

          Alternatively they should offer instore pick up or just go to the shop and they should honour the sale price

        • pastapins on 27/07/2016 - 12:53

          @Gavman: I did call them hoping for the same only to be told to buy something perhaps from the accessories store to make the total above $100. I guess its a strategy to get people to buy something they dont need.

          They don't offer pay-online and pick-up in-store either so I am planning on just dropping by at one of the stores and trying my luck. The stock availability tool looks good though (shows time of checking etc.)

      You cannot use this for skiing or boarding as it is not waterproof. It is only for keeping warm.

    • dbun1 on 27/07/2016 - 12:18
      +3

      You would need a waterproof outerlayer.
      Down jackets are generally not waterproof and lose their heat retention once the down gets wet.

      You can get insulated jackets that are waterproof, but they are more expensive.

  • phxsun on 27/07/2016 - 11:56

    How would these hold up in proper winter conditions like -1 degree daily average?

    • dbun1 on 27/07/2016 - 12:20
      +1

      They should hold up well - consider adding a midlayer vest too.

      I've been in -2degC with a fleece/windbreak midlayer vest and synthetic fill insulated jacket and was toasty warm - the down jacket will be even warmer than what I had. I did have a thermal layer too under my shirt.

    • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 12:54

      They are very lightweight and, someone correct me if I am wrong - come with pouches to roll up the jacket into something the size of a big soup can. The cheap Ray's Outdoors one (Outdoor Expedition - which is fantastic, wearing mine today in warm Melbourne) came with a pouch sewn into a pocket. It's super convenient to travel with it. I think Mac Pac has pouches separate, but there shouldn't be a reason it couldn't be sewn in like the Ray's Outdoors one.

      I'd suggest to buy here as they could be very travel friendly (and cheap). I'm making my way down to a shop soon and can let you know about those pouches for sure if I get one.
