Is this the only thing that inflation hasn't affected?
From another posts its less boofy
Touche
BRING BACK THE BOOF!
So in other words shrinkflation instead of inflation.
It’s Dairy Milk all over again.
Looks like quality is down. see eraser's comment below
down quality is.. down
The jacket is transitory.
I see what you did there, I don't think others did though 🤓
We did
The ozbargian's employee uniform
APS5 uniform
APS5APS uniform
I concur
Just a word of advice for anybody who was familiar with the first iteration: here are the changes to the V2:
- Shell material not as nice
- Collar not lined any more. Used to be nice soft material all the way around, but not any longer
- Zip flap (the part that covers the zip all the way down used to be lined, but not any longer
- For the vest: Instead of a separate little stuff sack to pack it into, you pack the jacket into its own inner pocket. Not sure for the jacket.
- Zip pulls used to be premium plastic and looked the part, but are now just some cord knotted to the metal zip.It's still a very warm jacket and the down is responsibly sourced, so it's still great value at this price.
you know if the sleeves are still long af even for the smaller sizes?
I’ve tried both the XS men’s in the version one and version two. Sleeve length is the same hence why the use of Velcro to hold in place. I bought one of the clearance XS last week and compared directly to the v2 in store. Comments above are accurate. It just appears that they have cut corners to reduce the cost of the product whilst competing with recyclable materials marketing credentials.
Good to know. So like most things the second iteration is worse in every way but at the same price point. Got it.
It's really the only to iterate products nowadays without bumping the price up significantly.
Thinks about Apple products…. hmmm
Not sure for the jacket.
Same for the jacket.
So in other words, its shit now?
I think it's more appropriate to say that, given inflation, the product value is still the same.
No, that's not what I said at all. Have another read!
So basically, it is same as mars or snickers bars where instead of increasing the price they take 20g off the chocolate to lure customers to still buy them;)
So best to get the V1 for the same price?
You mean the pricing error? Unlikely
it was an error? ok
I didn't know. got a solid mileage out of my 2 hooded downs
I got two in the deal as well, but yeah the "Buy 2 Get 50% off" deal wasn't meant to apply to sale items
@dav3: nice. I didn't read much into it. saw the deal, put the order in, picked it up 15 minutes later, forgot about it
Damn I bought this for $140 a month ago
thats great.. you stayed warm for an extra month..
😄
You're not wrong - it's been great.
no hood no deal
Bit harsh for the curcimcised people under us
I hope you meant among us lol.
Now that you mention it
username almost checks out
The unliqo one with hood on sale $80 - not as warm but cheaper

Cheap will get you pneumonia.
Or Chlamydia…
What a joker 🃏
leaking feathers, according to comments… what the
Says nothing about the provenance of the feather down in the listing, so i wouldn't touch it.
No size
Aldi Special Buys may be better value
My macpac served me well for the past 6 years
Wear mine on the daily the last 6 years! Amazing value, warm af for frosty 6am commute to work. Love it! Scrape Uniqlo and their flimsy stuff.
daily? during summer ?
you got me there lol! this winter started so early i forgot summer existed!
I ended up upgrading to one of these for colder weather, the Halo's are ok and very compact, but the Domain is awesome

Does it down to $150 like Halo Down ?
We don't all live in Victoria….lol
Is this warmer than the Uber Light Down Jacket?
Yes. The uber light down jacket is very thin, not much down.
https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-sat-9-j… aldi jakcket is 800 loft vs 600 loft on the macpack
One is guaranteed to last at least 6 years. The other one, wait.
does that sale start on the 9th, or end on the 9th?
you need to base it on total weight - loft is like megapixels
Responsible Down Standard. Nice
This goes on sale almost every month to $99, it should be their normal price
The vest version of this is one of the best things I've ever purchased.
I keep hesitating on the vest as I can't bring myself to spend more on it than the jacket. It just doesn't seem right lol.
Be aware this V2 is much tighter under the arms and around the chest than the V1. They've changed the design and stitching to allow it to fold up into itself.
I wear a Large in V1 and even the XL in V2 was too tight under the arms despite it being huge around the waist.
Macpac said they've had a lot of feedback that V1 is a much better fit for most people so will probably be going back to it for V3. Just be aware and try on if possible.
How long is their winter sale usually on for?
What does new season mean?
New season of fresh duck?
Got one and a vest! Tks
Just checked out 'as a guest' for $99.99 including delivery? No coupon code used.
Thanks OP!
Essential if Canberran
I saw (online) BCF has it for the same price. Does anyone know if the ones at BCF are V1 or also the downgraded V2?
BCF are v3 actually. V2 was the last sale…
Thanks NDjokovic. I’m surprised knowing how many versions they have out there 😄
I just bought one from BCF they’re V2 it even said on the sale sign
What's the difference between V3 vs V2?
is V3 back to V1 or lower quality?
Hey y'all. I'm usually a medium in jackets. Should I get a small since there's people who say it runs a bit bigger?
Macapaca mika maca icka acka oooo.
