Macpac Halo Down Jacket - Men's

Great jacket. Super light, warm and smart. I picked mine up on the Macpac winter sale - absolute bargain. These jackets run large, as they are made to give you a bit of extra room for other layers. I wear XL and 2XL in most things, but I wear a L in these jackets. If you wear a jacket that is too roomy, than you lose the benefits of the insulation. In saying that, think about going a size down from your usual size.

The best buy ever, keeps your warm dry and comfortable, easy to carry around in the bad when rolled up. I am a large but had to buy a medium and it did fit me perfectly in case you were wondering what size you might be.

Bought the guys one and pulled it down past my hips for a longer jacket. Wore it with a light top underneath and I was always toasty warm. I lived in it all winter and even slept in it. Washed in washing machine and used tennis balls in the dryer and it was good as new.

I own a few other brands of similar jacket. I can say this jacket is definitely not below par. It still keeps me comfortable in the temperature around 8 degree Celcius but I guess that is relative to every person. The stitches quality and workmanship are to my satisfaction. I am 167cm/60kg, Asian, medium built/flat tummy and wearing XS. I wish that the sleeve length could have been 5cm-6cm shorter so my arm does not look that bulky/puffy (around the bicep/tricep). Shoulder, hip and body length measurement are just right (not slim tight). I hope that paint big picture of the sizing for anyone who consider this jacket.

I put the Halo Jacket over a thin cotton shirt and walk to work. Magic. Light and warm. And extra long sleeves can cover the hands. Frosty mornings? No worries!

Ordered 2 jackets (Green and Red) online after receiving email from Macpac as my wife quite often wears my jackets . $99.99AUD each. What a bargain. Wasn't fussed on the green colour, so painlessly exchanged for grey at nearest store (Katoomba). These are quality garments which have been tested in the cold weather of late. Very light and warm and allows me to wear lighter clothing underneath removing all the weight and bulkiness of my other clothing.

If I'm heading out in the cold, this is my go-to jacket. I tested mine in the snow and rain in the Canadian Rockies with minimal base layering, and this kept me warm even when the outer layer got soaked through in the rain. The jacket is a royal pain to wash (especially if you have a top-loading washing machine like I do) but if you use 3 or 4 tennis balls to fluff it back up in a clothes dryer it comes up great. The one thing I don't like is the zippers for the pockets - the pocket lining gets caught under them and it is very hard to free the zippers afterward. It happens quite often.

Received the jacket within 2 days so excited to have. I was going to go for size large but after reading reviews went for a medium. I'm 6:1 and would have went for a small size but medium is good. Looking forward to my next purchase bought the jacket cause I saw it on House Rules Australian Tv series.

I have tested this Jacket in all conditions. It is warm and durable. At this price you can put it through rough conditions and not worry about the inevitable damage.

Its a quality build and performed brilliantly in Annapurna as well as the bibulmun.

I have had a number of tears that I sewed up in the field and then put on travel patches over the damage.

This gives my Jacket a unique look.

Washing and drying in the Laundromat was great. The Jacket fluffed back up to better than new condition.

I Recommend this Jacket

Being a bigger than normal women's size. I opted to purchase the Men's Halo Jacket 2XL. Bought this Jacket just last week, and received it within 3 days of ordering. Very impressed, and love my 'Treetop' Colour Jacket. I was so impressed with my Jacket, and I cant praise how exceptionally lightweight it is, and for the special price of NZD99.95 an absolute Bargain!!! I have invested in (2) more Jackets one for the hubby and my son!!! Thank you and Great Job well done!!! :)

So light and fluffy, and incredibly toasty warm. A joy to wear. I don't need extra bulky layers underneath. Save on heating bills at home!

got one today so warm bring on winter

Bought this last week in XL size. I needed it because I was heading down to the Eastern Bay of Plenty, in the Urewera area, and knew it was going to be much colder there than in Auckland. In the Ruatoki valley, there is a wind that blows down from the Urewera ranges all the way through the valley. It's always been there and it's even got it's own name that the ancestors gave it: Te Hau Okiwa. True to form, that wind blew down the valley from pre-dawn till around mid-morning. Locals commented that it was particularly biting that morning. Wearing my new Halo jacket, I wondered if these locals had started to go soft. This is the cheapest model of jacket available, but it performs above and beyond the scope of what you might expect from it. Can't wait till winter!

Im a female size 20 and most shops dont sell jackets that size so I found a 2XL jacket in the mens section and it fitted perfectly the staff at Valcan Lane Auckland was just friendly and helpful LOVE getting my jackets from MACPAC 100% happy customer :)
