Not sure how this rates compared to the Macpac Halo but I would be keen to hear from someone who owns both.

Thanks, added to description :)
Had them several years ago, more comparable to the Macpac Uber Light IMO. Halo is heftier.
Medium size fill weights:
Uber light = 73g
Heli = 108g
Halo = 205g
Thank you :)
So this one is better for a normal cold weather and macpac halo for extra cold?
Do I bother if I already have a halo v2?
Only if you want something lighter that you can throw over the top of other layers (e.g. a sweater). Otherwise, nah
It's a lot thinner (thickness and cut) than the Halo.
It's you're a slim build you may prefer it, but I certainly didn't find it anywhere near as comfortable or warm. Even the sleeves are a narrower fit, so anyone with even 'some' forearm will find it too tight.
I have one and can confirm its not warm enough on its own in Sydney weather at the moment
You do realise you should be wearing something under it, right?
Yep, a Macpac Halo underneath by the looks of things.
this jacket is useful for hiking. they pack quite small and is useful for layering.
no X-Large :(
