      Definitely. I paid $125 a few months ago

        Isnt this a poor man's Kathmandu?

          Unless everyone is rich, Kathmandu must be the poor man's Kathmandu. I swear I have never seen as many as I have this year.

          • Bryanalves on 01/08/2019 - 12:48

            @Soluble: Yea cos it was on 50% off from 600 to 300.
            Actually are the kathmandus warmer/lighter? Or are we buying the brand?

            • Blunglefortness on 01/08/2019 - 13:46

              @Bryanalves: I'm not sure about everyone else who bought one, but I got mine during the sale for $200, and it's fantastic. Super lightweight, and super warm.

            • matthk on 02/08/2019 - 12:08

              @Bryanalves: The MacPac Halo is unbeatable at this price-point.
              Even at its full retail price of $279 it's a superior jacket.
              I've had mine for three years and wear it constantly through winter.
              (yet I've always hated 'puffers'! - until the Halo)

              Comparing MacPac to Kathmandu is like comparing a Landrover Defender to a Rav4.
              They're not in the same field.

              Kathmandu is mostly for suburbanites who don't go anywhere.
              It's an average (and overpriced) brand that tries to pretend it's up there with the real guys.
              Plus their colours are atrocious.

              Macpac on the other hand was founded in outdoor-mad New Zealand, by serious outdoors experts and has a SOLID reputation with camping, hiking, climbing, adventure-sport folks the world over.

              At this price? EVERYONE SHOULD BUY A HALO!

              +1

              @Bryanalves: Halo is warmer, lighter and MUCH better quality than an equivalent Kathmandu jacket.
              It's serious outdoors kit - Kathmandu is an overpriced high-street brand. :-)

          • Griffindinho on 01/08/2019 - 13:37

            Feel free to buy the overpriced crap at Kathmandu
            Macpac is at least an entry level outdoor gear

        • tariqsaleem on 01/08/2019 - 19:51

          Well Khatmamdu equivalent jackets are 550 loft where as this is 600.

          Higher quality from that perspective

      • justwaitingforamate on 01/08/2019 - 15:52

        Macpac is quality NZ brand some of the best gear for the price. I havent had one of their puffers but the packs, gators etc I've had form them are some of the most durable I've ever encountered. So MacPac is great value for high quality gear. Kathmandu is more of a fashion brand that is reasonable value when its over 60% off.
        So I would say that Kathmandu is the fashionable poor mans macpac and MacPac is the poor mans Arc'teryx.

          Cause they spent their hard earned money on it, so they need to feel the justification from the purchase

      • anastasiastarz on 01/08/2019 - 22:19

        But it's so warm, though that makes it easy as to nap anywhere too…

  • Heracles26 on 01/08/2019 - 09:28

    How do these compare to Patagonia Down Sweater in terms of warmth? (ignoring the massive price difference)

    https://www.patagonia.com.au/products/mens-down-sweater

    • aNoPHeLeS on 01/08/2019 - 10:06
      +1

      The down sweater has higher quality, higher lofting down which will be lighter and more compactable but this halo has way more total down so its quite a bit warmer

    • Hamlet on 01/08/2019 - 11:57

      Patagonia Down Sweater is a better all-rounder but the Halo is warmer. Down Sweater has higher quality loft down but isn't as puffy (less total down). I also prefer the fit of the Down Sweater.

        Can't say coz I haven't got it myself. Looks like it has 650 duck down filling vs 600 on the halo down. just go into a physical store and try them out

      • Heybargain on 01/08/2019 - 09:58

        halo is 600 loft duck down
        mercury is 650 loft duck down

        • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2019 - 10:18

          Halo:
          Fill Weight (g) 205 (size M)
          Weight (g) 540 (Size M)

          Mercury:
          Fill Weight (g) 136 (Size M)
          Weight (g) 390 (Size M)

          The Halo is heavier and warmer than the Mercury.

        • Jamesx on 01/08/2019 - 12:31

          It's strange MacPac Uber light down is also 650 fill power, feels very thin though, am I get it wrong?

        I just bought mercury last week for $125. No regret because last mercury S size in store. The store guy said mercury almost as warm as halo. Because 650 down loft. I like mercury better and lighter.

      I always prefer hooded versions…

      BUT why are all Australian hoods just head and not face covered ie there is never an edge that goes over to protect your face from rain.

      • matthk on 02/08/2019 - 12:14

        You can't wear puffer jackets in the rain!!! - at least not in anything beyond a light shower.
        They're not meant for it and the water can seriously impact the down, its loft and the subsequent warmth of the jacket.

    • Luigy on 01/08/2019 - 12:37

      Is the ETA Primaloft worth the extra $30?

    • matthk on 02/08/2019 - 12:11

      Nah, have to disagree on the hood. (soz)
      Hoods on puffer jackets just get in the way (and people throw their rubbish in them as you walk by :-) )
      Plus it makes it a little tougher to roll up and pack away. (My Halo goes into its bag and into my glove box).
      Serious outdoors types just wear a beanie or a hat.

    Standard edition ozbargain down jacket!

    This is an awesome jacket - but note you need to choose a size down for most people.
    Note also this is a very warm jacket - possible too warm for Brisbane and other places where winter lands on a Thursday!

    • shortcircuit on 01/08/2019 - 10:23

      Yes. I tried in store. Feel too warm for me. Bought mercury lighter and not too warm for aussie winter.

  • elliolk on 01/08/2019 - 10:06

    I bought this in the same sale over 3 years ago now. I still wear it daily in winter during morning walks in temps of as low as -6. Warmest jacket I've ever worn and worth every cent. I would buy another without hesitation if my current one wasn't still in perfect condition.

  • titan0r on 01/08/2019 - 10:09

    Great deal. I've got one of these but their sizing is all over the place. I normally wear XL but had to get an M for this. If unsure, try it in store first before placing the order.

  • dsar on 01/08/2019 - 10:10

    I've bought 3 jackets for my mates and myself and I personally would not recommend it. The stitching is weak and all 3 of the jacket's fluff are leaking out. Imagine randomly seeing feathers fly out and lint stuck the clothes under.

      We've had ours for a good 2 years and I wear it everyday in winter. Next to no issues for us. Yes there will be the odd fluff getting loose and coming out but I think this is normal for a down jacket. Maybe you got a bad batch. If you take it in and complain I'm sure they'll work something out.

    • FareEvader on 01/08/2019 - 13:37

      I've been told by staff at The North Face and Kathmandu that it's perfectly normal for furthers to come out as it happens to all down jackets.

  • Dream-cast on 01/08/2019 - 10:28
    +2

    There are some nice touches on this jacket that my north face jacket that was triple the cost does not have.
    Pockets sockets are lined with a warm furry material. Keeps my hands warm.
    Zips on both front pockets and they're easy to use with one hand.
    The top corner of the collar is lined with the same warm furry material so when it's zipped up you dont get the cold weatherproof material touching your chin.
    Velcro sleeves so you can tighten the sleeves.
    Draw string on the bottom of the jacket so you can tighten the bottom of the jacket.

    Only negative is I have had feathers escape through the material. Not a lot but its noticeable.

    • Corapmafya on 01/08/2019 - 10:33

      I have been wearing this jacket for the past 2 months and I didn't know it had a draw string on the bottom…

    • Associatedsal78 @ Macpac on 01/08/2019 - 11:22

      yes, lined pockets and elasticated waist adds to warmth. I Halo is a bit too puffy, their thinner version is good for 3 seasons and also great under a coat as a mid barrier or under ski jacket if super cold. Also a vest and that they’re all packable.

  • racerm911 on 01/08/2019 - 10:33

    Can anyone comment on how well these would perform in a UK winter?

    • starspawn on 01/08/2019 - 10:35

      I reckon it would treat you well, with a pull over underneath

    • Corapmafya on 01/08/2019 - 10:38

      My personal experience - I wore one to the snow in NZ a couple of weeks ago and it worked very well there. I had long sleeve thermal and a thin jumper on under it. If I moved around too much playing with my kids I would get too hot.

    • Snoozer on 01/08/2019 - 12:49

      I wore this in Toronto earlier this year and the temperatue was -10 on average. It will easily deal with UK weather.

      It's a great city jacket, but not it's not super hard wearing if you want to do lots of outside activities.

    Grabbed one from their Melbourne CBD store, heaps of stock, they were still unpacking them out of boxes. A word of warning to people buying online, use the size chart. I'm a tall, fairly slim (beer gut) dude and would normally buy a medium for anything. The guy talked me into the XS and commented they are a "big jacket". Another guy walked in while I was trying one on who I would say would wear an XL t-shirt walked out with a medium. Sales guy noted that down insulation is supposed to be fitted. They are also really puffy, so look big even in a snug fit.

    • stockastics on 01/08/2019 - 12:38

        I'm fat skinny, fast metabolism but mid 30's plus a love for pale beers = no shoulders and a beer gut. That equates to a medium size and sucking in your gut around the ladies.

    • Kazerui on 01/08/2019 - 11:05
      +3

      I wouldn't use this for rain at all. The down in the jacket can degrade if exposed to a lot of moisture and not dried properly

      • samfisher5986 on 01/08/2019 - 11:05

        Ok thanks

        • wittyusername on 21/09/2019 - 10:23

          More importantly than that (at the time) is that down won't insulate when wet. It works by trapping your body heat in the little air gaps around the fluff. When it gets wet it clumps and reduces the space of the airgaps, also reducing it's ability to retain heat.

          If you need a jacket to insulate you while it's raining a lot, you will need a synthetic material (primaloft etc), or wool is becoming popular. Additionally, you can layer up a decent waterproof shell over the top of the down jacket, although any movement in this will see you warming up very fast.

  • GReeeeN on 01/08/2019 - 11:10

    I usually wear L T-shirt’s and a mix of L/XL jackets/ long sleeve.

    Should I be ordering a M or a L for this?, I don’t want it to stick to my body, but don’t want it baggy either.

    No they're not waterproof mate.I got one for $95 on the last deal and added a few carabiner clips to get the "over $100" free shipping.I've just had 6 weeks away on a campervan trip down to the Great Ocean Road via western NSW and wore it every day with a Uniqlo thermal underneath.Fantastic jacket (sorry,don't wear hoodies..prefer a Beanie) Buy a size down from your regular fitting and wash the jacket in a pillow case or laundry bag using Grangers Down Wash,then in the Dryer with a couple of tennis balls to reinstate the Down loft.Don't store in the stuff sack but hang it as you would any other jacket.
