    How good are these compared to Kathmandu or Macpac(I know that they themselves aren't great quality jackets at least in terms of durability)?

        Likewsie but only in winter. Bloody great value compared to Macpac and other expensive brands.

      • Teebytok on 21/07/2024 - 14:21

        I've got both the old one and this new one. It feels significanty worse quality, can feel mainly feathers instead of down, and the shell is more plasticy. BUT saying that, $50 these days is very cheap for a down puffa, the new one has a nicer cut and actually does keep you pretty warm. It's good for around tha yard and camping and stuff.

        • 0806449 on 24/07/2024 - 09:29

          I got the new sweatshirt with merino blend and was actually surprised with it.

          The new puffer shell might be to reduce the Geroge Costanza swishing 🤷‍♂️

      Aldi is 800fill, if you are compared to Macpac Halo it is 600/650fill. So on paper Aldi is better. I have both and both are decent quality.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2024 - 14:16

        Just a note. The Macpac will have a code with the jacket that you enter into a website that will tell you what the Actual down was that went into that jacket. Mine have always been above 700 and mostly either just under or just over 750 even if the label says its 650 fill.

        • Calvin27 on 04/07/2024 - 14:48

          Yep, most are like this. I'm not confident the aldi stuff will have 'guaranteed over 800 fill' but even if they aim for that and miss a bit, it's still decent. I think the composition might be off though, not sure what is normal, but 10% feather seems high.

            @spy: Uber? Does it say 90% feathers and 10% down on the packaging? So it's basically been enshittified?

            Oh wait I can see it in the description that it's 90% feathers and 10% down. I thought it'd be the same thing…

      Can you elaborate on the durability? Worn in what sense? As in the shell is starting to scuff or has it lost a lot of feathers or stitching has come undone? Do you wear it often? I've had a down jacket for 10-11 years but need a new one, this looks like a decent buy.

  • Commenter on 04/07/2024 - 12:30

    I had bought one in 2018. It was so worth it. Everyone in the office asked what brand it was and were shocked when I told them the price.

    I lost 30 kilos since then and it was too loose. Bought a Patagonia sweater and Kathmandu Heli jacket. Love Patagonia, took it to a Himalayas trip and kept me warm. It is so light but too hot for Sydney.

    I wear Heli to office, is ok, light. Has a loose thread so quality is so so. Found Macpac to be quite heavy and very warm. If needed will buy another Patagonia.

    • rmsprs on 04/07/2024 - 12:52

      exactly, for the price this jacket has no business being this good!

      • Commenter on 04/07/2024 - 12:54

        Have to add Aldi is 800 fill vs Macpac is 600. Higher fill is lighter.

        Fill is just one of the criteria as amount of fill has a bigger role.

        Will buy one for the teenagers.

        • Burger R on 04/07/2024 - 13:04

          I weighted my Aldi size M vs Macpac size S. Aldi is slightly lighter 10-15g. But Aldi has two layer of inner liner and a useless hood. So I think both filled about the same amount of down.

          • Commenter on 04/07/2024 - 13:08

            @Burger R: What’s the weight of Aldi. Patagonia is -280 grams with Macpac -550 grams.

            So Aldi is better than Macpac for less than half price.

            Boring colours.

            • Burger R on 04/07/2024 - 13:13

              @Commenter: Halo hoodless size S 530g. This is just paper spec. Need to also check other, for example Macpac has a waist drawstring and my version of Aldi does not. Zip quality, fit…

    • TurnipHead on 04/07/2024 - 21:28

      @Commenter: How's the Aldi compare to the Heli and Halo re warmth and packability?

      • Commenter on 05/07/2024 - 05:35
        +1

        Aldi is warmer than Heli. I wear Heli when temperatures are above 5 degrees and Patagonia when less than that. Heli is thinner and doesn’t make you look the Michelin man.

        It is subjective for each person as I run a little warm.

        I would definitely buy Aldi based on warmth and price over the other brands.

        • TurnipHead on 05/07/2024 - 17:42

          Thanks! Might pop over to Aldi to get one as a warm jacket for travel. Sounds better than the Heli/Uber which I find barely warmer than a fleece jacket but without the simplicity of being able to throw it in the washing machine.

          • Commenter on 05/07/2024 - 18:17

            @TurnipHead: You can wash the jackets in washing machines with down special detergent.

    How many grams of 800 fill power is in these jackets? Standard Kathmandu puffer is 600 fill power & depending on size (medium being the average) 170g of 600fill power down.

    The higher the fill power, the less down that's required as it's better insulating & the lighter the fill is because it's warmer.

    my previous comparison https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15431618/redir based on owning both

    TDLR: Halo is warmer, Aldi is very likely sufficient for everyone on the coast that isnt Tasmania. Although Melbourne could be on the edge at night

    • Ghost47 on 04/07/2024 - 18:45
      +1

      I have a feeling you're right. I have a 550 fill down jacket and hardly needed it when I was living in Sydney, the Aldi jacket could be warmer and would be more than sufficient for me in Sydney weather. Depends on the individual to an extent though, I get pretty warm just walking around in a down jacket (although the limited breathability of down jackets probably doesn't help with that).

    • Shiny Mew on 05/07/2024 - 22:57

      -4 some mornings where I am in central VIC - Halo it is then?

      • dtc on 06/07/2024 - 11:19

        Depends if you are walking around for short periods or being still watching sports etc. would definitely go for the halo - if you are too hot at times (eg during the day) you can wear fewer layers underneath. However if you are sitting watching the footy then you might want something even warmer than the halo or at least buy some thermal underwear and a few layers and then the Halo on top. The Halo isn’t really good enough for a -4C jacket (you wouldn’t take it snow camping, for example) but for short periods it’s totally fine.

  • Hangryuman on 04/07/2024 - 17:43
    +2

    sounds like the missing number is the weight of down

    e.g. 'A higher fill power number doesn’t automatically mean a jacket will be warmer, as quantity is still an important factor … 3 grams of 800 fill power takes up the same amount of space as 5 grams of 550 fill power.

    Other factors that affect warmth include whether the jacket has a hood, or how long the jacket is. This highlights why you need to consider how you plan to use the jacket, and whether you need to prioritise warmth, weight, or cost.' - https://www.kathmandu.com.au/blog/what-is-down-fill-power-an…

      Sydney = Aldi down jacket/Kmart puffer
      Perth/Brisbane = Kmart puffer/none
