Greetings everyone, thanks to the $40 off $150 spend @ BCF, this comes down to an awesome price for this jacket, one of the cheapest prices I have seen.

Note, as the price is $0.01 below the min spend, you'll need to add another item to your cart. The cheapest deliverable item I could find is a Boot Rubber for $1 which makes the total to be $110.99 Delivered. Alternatively, search by Lowest to Highest in the clearance section and find an item that is available for delivery which you like.

As this is sold by BCF, makes it much easier to stack with discounted gift cards also, see here for rates.

If you don't know your sizing, I would recommend to go into a Macpac store to try this on first to gauge your sizing.

Also Available

Rug up and stay protected on your day out in the Halo Jacket from Macpac. Desgined with a 100% nylon fabric, this jacket is filled with 600 loft duck down for premium comfort while the adjustable cuffs and hem traps heat in when needed.

Small, Medium and Large now out of stock.

Women's Available Here for the same price.

Note also, BCF have only just started stocking Macpac items (SRG expanding the brand). So the sales which are also occuring on the Macpac site have been replicated here. Such as Macpac Men's Tui Fleece Pullover 2 for $100, or Macpac Men's Geothermal Long Sleeve 2 for $50 which when spending over $150 can then be stacked with the coupon.

As always, enjoy :)

    • 3 on 24/06/2021 - 09:55

      It's not waterproof and the down will lose warmth when wet, so depends what your doing. If you're camping or hiking then should be okay with an appropriate rain jacket, but probably not the best choice for skiing etc

      • incipient on 24/06/2021 - 10:25

        Apparently down will clump too once it gets wet, so not suitable for wet conditions.

          It does but you can fix this by Tumblr drying on cool with tennis balls.

            tumblr got rid of balls at the end of 2018 though.

            (I think incipient means it will clump when it gets wet while you're wearing it - a dryer won't help when you're out and about)

            • b2dz on 24/06/2021 - 16:39

              @eug: Lol. Tumble dried I mean.

              I followed the cleaning instructions for my macpac halo jacket (wearing right now) and it was soaked through, because I washed it. Drying it took a bit of time and I'll admit I was worried, but leaving it in the dryer on a cool-air only cycle and putting three tennis balls in, as per instruction, worked a treat.

              So yes you need to wash it occasionally anyway, so it's not like if it gets wet from the rain it's ruined forever if it clumps.

                  @eug: Can confirm that the spiky balls also do a better job of breaking up the clumps too.

                  It’s worth running the washing machine on a quick rinse to get rid of residual clothes detergent before using the down specific one, and worth looking at using a DWR (water repellent) replenisher every few washes too if you want to minimise the chance of it getting wet in the first place when out and about.

      It's warm enough for the snow with a couple of layers underneath, but I wouldn't be doing snowsports with it, as it is not fully waterproof.

      • chriise on 24/06/2021 - 13:20

    • askvictor on 24/06/2021 - 11:12

      Depends what you're doing in the snow. Down jackets are typically only good for dry cold; once they get wet they're useless, and a waterproof over-jacket squashes the down, so they lose their insulation. The outer fabric is also quite delicate, so they're not much good for high-speed sports like skiing etc. If you're doing light sight-seeing in the snow, they're fine, or if you're sure there won't be rain, you should be OK, but otherwise I'd go for other materials (synthetic for bulk, wool for thermals)

    I’m a “large” for the same type of jacket in Kathmandu. I’m assuming buy a “M” for this given it runs large?

    Thanks!

    • Gravy Train on 24/06/2021 - 10:09

      I'd say that's a safe bet, my (S) from Macpac feels only slightly smaller than the equivilant Kathmandu (M). Macpac does have very long sleeves too… or maybe i have very short arms….

  • robotfrom1984 on 24/06/2021 - 10:04

    • beatsntoons on 24/06/2021 - 10:20

      that's an ultralight. Fill weight will be really low, probably sub 100. It's not in the same league.

      I do like the fine print on that jacket as well.. "generally 550 fill power* and above is considered to be high quality".
      No it's not. 700 and above is where you're getting into good quality warmth.

      *not the same as fill weight.

    • eltito on 24/06/2021 - 11:21

      EDIT: NVM,

      I realised I have the Mercury jacket that I got boughtthis year from Ozb. Love this jacket, bought another!

      • juzz0 on 24/06/2021 - 11:34

        Pretty certain that refers to “fill power” and not fill weight I think the weight of the halo is around 550 medium vs 390 (219 vs 137 fill) for the Mercury. You can look at the specs here:

        https://www.macpac.com.au/macpac-mens-mercury-hooded-down-ja…?

        It would be good to have a sense of what all this means, as a person who doesn’t understand much of this tech jargon I ruled it out on the basis of the weight factor being less warm than the Halo, I would’ve liked to see the Sundowner but BCF doesn’t stock it

        • Sprintz25 on 24/06/2021 - 12:31
          +1

          Yeah i agree, its very misleading.

          The Mercury is 90:10 down:feathers and the fill power is 650, so higher quality fill but the fill weight is only 137g for medium size, so they skimped on the quantity.

          The Halo is 80:20 down:feathers and the fill power is 600, so lower quality fill and the fill weight is 219g for medium size, so they have added 60% more fill (even if it is lower quality more still equals more).

          Just by the numbers the Halo must be warmer than the Mercury.

        Have seen plenty of posts for both halo and Uber light. I spoke with the sales team at Macpac, Enfield, SA. Going by their information alone they ranked Uber light the least warm followed by then halo then Mercury hooded. That's based solely on the information supplied by them. I've tried on all three and feel the Mercury hooded was the most comfortable and felt quite filled without the excess bulk look of the halo. Hopefully the information they told me was correct.

        I ended up buying the Mercury. I called Macpac store afterward and was told that Mercury is lighter than Halo, but not as overall warm.
        Fill Power is 650 vs 600, but this refer to warmth per gm of Down (so since it is lighter 137gm vs 219gm, then overall warmth is much less than Halo).

    depending on what colour you want the halo jacket is on clearance at macpac at the moment for $99. So if this is what you are looking for it's already $40 cheaper (same as the discount) than BCF. Also its a very warm jacket and I can rate it.
