  • Anyone know sizing? How does warmth/quality compare to Macpac Halo?

    • i have Macpac and Kathmandu, Northface is just slicely bigger (i am in a size M), but comfortably fit.
      Macpac is the smallest, then Kath to NFace

      Macpac is warmer with a higher fill

        sorry but unless you’ve actually worn both, then you can’t compare their warmth based upon specifications alone, given that this is only 50% down?

      Those reviews…

    • +1

      lol never seen so much bad reviews for a brand

    • +2

      Unfortunately they're just another brand that have drastically reduced the quality of their products and still charge a premium.

      I have a jacket and backpack from 5+ years ago and they're still going strong. Doubt many items they currently stock will last that long.

        It's sad when high quality products get cheapened by beancounters and the requirement for ever increasing profit.

    Same price amazon Directly from Northface

    I've had a couple of my jackets from North Face recently, eg Thermoball eco for $80. For that price it's good but doubt I'd pay more. Design is nothing special, quality is normal, brand brings no prestige anymore so in future I'd get a cheap and cheerful something else instead if TNF wasn't dirt cheap on special.

  • Why are their sizes going largest to smallest!?

  • -2

    Do not compare this jacket with other brands down jackets. The fill is made of 600 down AND polyester.

    • -1

      +1 but is that a reason for negging?

      • -2

        Yeah not a deal imo, you can find a better jacket with 100% down for the same money or less

        • +2

          not the correct reason to neg…

          if brand is the reason then we should be negging most apparel brands here if you can get something equivalent (quality-wise) from Kmart for cheap such as Oodie etc.

    Only 50% down and more expensive than macpac.

      i have this… and i had the $99 Macpac (non-hoodie) version but I like the fit of the Aconcaqua better than the Macpac and the Macpac wasn't that much warmer even though
      its puffier. I gave the Macpac to my nephew in the end.

      However, I paid $189 back then: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/761762

      But i think it is still not worth it as my $150 Ultimate Wincheater from Superdry is warmer than this.

      • Which MacPac? MacPac Halo?

        • yeah… the popular macpac jacket on this site
