Only useful if you can find stock.
Stacks of sizes online with free shipping as it's over $99
Obligatory reminder that these run large.
Like two sizes large. Some macpac clothing I purchased in S size are still too big for me and I normally wear M or S
Agreed. I normally wear large or extra large, but needed a medium in these
Awesome jacket. Had mine for 5 years and still looks new. Super warm (almost too much). But yep does run large, recommend trying instore if it's your first time buying from Macpac.
I'm L-XL anywhere else and had to get one of these in Small last time they were on ozb. Recommend going to a store and trying one on if possible.
mind sharing ur waist and chest measurements, quiet confused reading your comment. Measurements shows me I need large size.

No need to add anything else, shipping is already free if you add the jacket to cart.
Great jackets, but pretty regularly down at $99.
down at $99
I see what you did there
Great jacket, I got one the last time these were $99.
I am still using this one from 2016. Puff daddy keeps me warm.
My son lives in his from around April to October (but still going because the weather hasnt realised its not August). Needs a good wash at the end of the winter…But they dont fall apart, keep him warm, comfortable and all the rest.
How do you wash yours? I'm scared that I'll ruin mine by washing it in the machine
gentle cold wash cycle with some specialist down washing liquid (from one of the outdoor stores); then in the dryer for a few hours at low temp. Comes out fine. Takes a while but do it gently at all stages
I dont have a dryer so have to do my annual visit to the local laundromat!
no hood = no deal
beanie?
I'm still on the fence on this opinion. The first trip I did with my jacket was going camping in the deep of winter and I absolutely regretted not having the hood then. Outside of that though I have been more than happy without it. If you're someone who has beanies and whatnot sorted it's less of an issue, but after seeing these posted on ozb for years in hindsight I probably would have gotten the hood if I had my time again.
over the years I had purchased a few puffers with and without hoods
times I thought "damn I wish I had a hood": probably well over 9000
times I thought "damn I wish I didn't have a hood": 0
that settles it for me
Melbourne vs Brisbane tho heh….
@Hinee: do people wear puffies in brizzy?? last time I went there during "winter" I think I never put on anything heavier than a short sleeve
I have both versions of the Halo and prefer the hoodless version for the following reasons:
- there is significantly more down in the collar of the hoodless version which means a much warmer neck; and
- if you tend to wear a rain jacket or hard shell over your puffer, there is no hood under it to get in the way (if you are using the Halo as the outer layer, then this will not be a factor).
Just the thing for Summer in Australia….
Hobart and Melbourne says yeh
I see that mens run large, what about for women's sizes? Many thanks all :)
Wife is usually a 14-16, had to buy an 18 in the Halo. It seems like their women’s sizing runs the opposite direction to the men’s.
I had to size up. Normally I'm an 8, but had to get the 10. I found the shoulders too narrow. I also prefer something bigger so I can layer up.
True to size IMO. I am a size 4-6 and the 6 was a bit loose, so accurate to size. I can fit a chunky jumper underneath so don’t mind it being a little loose.
Insider tip - although these jackets are officially rated at 600 loft (the higher the number, the warmer the jacket all things being equal), this number actually varies from jacket to jacket. I have seen some Halo jackets exceed 700 loft.
If you are in-store, simply scan the QR code on the tag and this will tell you what the loft rating is for that individual jacket. Always nice to get something extra for free :)
Prefer lower loft for Australia tbh, unless your using it on Canberra mornings or some extreme conditions
Warmth depends on both:
- fill weight (amount of down used)
- fill loft/power (how puffy the down is)
If you need a less warm jacket, it is better to buy a jacket that has a lower fill weight than one that has lower fill loft. The advantage of this approach is that you end up with a lighter jacket that is also more compressible.
Same price in store. Tickets says $139 but sales person put it thru as $99.99.
Plenty stock at Eastland, I only see black colour though
Same price at BCF where cashbacks are higher
