Why we made this
Our favourite down jacket, the hooded Halo is a great insulation layer for outdoor adventures — featuring responsibly-sourced down and responsibly-produced bluesign® approved fabrics.

Product Description
The legendary Halo down jacket — now with a hood. The hooded Halo is an excellent all-rounder, perfect for wearing while you're out exploring the city, travelling the world or camping in the wilderness. Filled with 600 loft Responsible Down Standard (RDS) duck down and featuring elasticated cuffs and an adjustable hood and hem, this jacket works to keep you warm by trapping heat against your body. The lightweight nylon outer fabric (and lining) is bluesign® approved and features a short-chain C6 water repellent finish to protect against moisture. A separate stuff sack is included for convenient storage when packing your bags for the next adventure. The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is an independent, voluntary global standard in the ethical sourcing of down and feathers — the RDS ensures our down comes from humanely treated ducks and geese and helps to provide traceability in our supply chain. All our down is 100% RDS certified. Similarly, bluesign® certification confirms these specific fabrics have been manufactured with responsible use of resources and the lowest possible impact on people and the environment. Both the outer and lining fabrics are bluesign® certified in the Halo Hooded Down Jacket.

Hi .. I m actually size 8 .. but sometimes size 6 fits well .. so want just want to know if they are true to size ???
Thanks
Thanks
BEST ANSWER: I am usually a size 6 and bought the size 6 in this and it fits nicely. It's nice and snug fitting with a couple layers underneath so I think it depends if your planning to have layers underneath go the size 8 but if not the size 6 would fit.

Is this the warmest jacket for Macpac. I’m after a really warm jacket?
BEST ANSWER: Hello Kathy,
It is defiantly a warm jacket. With it's total weight of 620 g (size 10) and its fill power of 600 loft HyperDRY™ - it is one of the warmest jackets we have. But if you are looking for the warmest - I would recommend the Macpac Ember HyperDRY™ Down Jacket - Women's - It has a weight of 800 g (size 10) and a fill power of 700 g RDS HyperDRY™ Goose Down.

I was just wondering do the feathers come out of this jacket? Because I want to purchase a jacket that isn’t like other stores jackets where the feathers come out through the sewing thing?
BEST ANSWER: Hi Tiana. I have been wearing my Halo jacket pretty much non-stop for the last 2months, and I think I could honestly say I have not seen one feather coming out of the seams. It’s a great puffer, and I highly recommend getting one :) Donna

Is this jacket water resistant?
BEST ANSWER: No it's not. You need to wear a rain jacket over it to protect the down filling. Once it gets wet it loses its warming capacity.

Hi, bought a size 20 for my partner, loves the jacket, she is just really tall, how much longer in the body would a 3XL be?
BEST ANSWER: Hi Brendon,Thank you for your enquiry.The 3XL is around 9 cm longer in length in the front and 10 cm in the back. If the 20 fits well for size, you could even consider the 2XL as these measurements are closer to the 20 (2XL chest is 72; hem is 66; &; size 20 chest is 65.5 & hem is 65.5), but will only be around 6 cm longer in the front and about 8 cm in the back.Thanks - the Macpac Team

Hi, I'm going to Europe in February. Would this jacket be appropriate?
BEST ANSWER: Hello Isabella,
Well, it depends on where you are going - it's a warm jacket and would work really well if you go to Scandinavia or the UK - but for Spain it might be a little warm (as you can experience up to 16-20 degrees in Spain around Feb)
