This jacket is back at $99.99 again!

A few weeks ago it was on sale for $129.99. Someone pointed out that it'll be $99.99 again before winters end and to hold out.

Well it's back! Get it while it's cheap.

The legendary Halo down jacket is warm, compact and a great all-rounder – perfect for a range of activities – from urban adventure, through to travel, hiking and camping. Filled with 600 loft duck down, the Halo jacket will keep you warm in cooler temperatures throughout the year. It comes with an adjustable hem and elasticated cuffs for added functionality, and a separate stuff sac is included for maximum compression when storing or travelling.

Update 28/7 12:25AM - Added code 'explore' for additional 10% off. Thanks triplezzb

  • Matt89 on 27/07/2016 - 13:35

    Great deal!

    I'm not sure if i'll be a medium or small, so I ordered both via the online store and will return the one I don't want. I believe I can do this via post or in-store (http://www.macpac.com.au/support/returns-repairs/?___SID=U)

    • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 13:49

      They are designed to have multiple layers underneath. I got a small which is much closer to a medium size IMO. I couldn't even try on an XS because all the stock had gone for all colours. It would have fit me a bit better I think but the small isn't a bad fit, and it would let me wear a hoodie underneath which the extra small may not have.

      A small is a small with the uber light down jackets, they don't feel like they are designed to be worm with more than a t shirt underneath.. which was a good fit for me as I can rock the slightly tight look well lol

  • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 13:47

    Got a small black at Collingwood, not many left.

    Also the Uber light down jackets are half price, with the blue ones on clearance for 85.

    Got one of those too.

    Can anyone comment between this and the Kathmandu 550 (http://www.kathmandu.com.au/mens/jackets/insulation/epiq-dow…)

    • abovethelimit on 27/07/2016 - 14:45
      +1

      same same but different ;) On a serious note, macpac is a better value at that price point. If they are both same price, then Kathmandu gets my vote purely bcoz of my trekking mates raving on about how Kathmandu holds the heat better than Macpac and better built to handle the mountain abuse. If you aint goin to the bush then Macpac does the job very well. Wore mine on a work trip to Canberra when the weather was like 4 degrees in the morning and it did the job well by keeping me warm. I am not sure its waterproof though as the dew drops seems to get sucked in to the jacket and evaporates when in the room temperature as opposed to the proper waterproof rain jacket that I have where the water just runs off and no evidence of water anywhere in the jacket.

      Edit: Deal upvoted. I bought mine on a similar shop sale in DFO and paid $99 over the advertised $129 and it has done the job effectively so far this winter.

  • dingdong3000 on 27/07/2016 - 14:41

    Hmm shoulda bought a small i reckon. I'm 5'7 medium build and length of sleeve is a little long but nethertess fits ok with few layers..

    • [Deactivated] on 27/07/2016 - 14:48

      what size did u get..i went xs even though im a small

      at least future proofed when you pack on a few kilos & get a beer belly later on ;-P

    • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 15:04

      I'm 5'7 also and bought a small because there were no extra smalls left. Although I am 65kg which is (subjectively) between a normal and medium build.

      Maybe order a small and return the medium when you get it. People here are commenting on how great the Mac Pac return policy is.

      The sleeves are velcroable, so you shouldn't get any hang over your wrist.

      • dingdong3000 on 27/07/2016 - 18:37

        I swapped my medium to a small and its a perfect fit for me now :)

        No issues exchanging at all.

        Took the last small one @ Mel cbd hehe

    Are these jackets warmer then Uniqlo jackets?

    • bruc3 on 28/07/2016 - 10:50

      Yes, I bought had the similar designed Uniqlo one and in my opinion the Macpac is thicker and warmer. But this is from memory as I have not worn my Uniqlo jacket for a few Months.

  • DaTa on 27/07/2016 - 15:30

    Can we return if it is too big if we order online?

  • Tasmaniac on 27/07/2016 - 15:33

    Rays Outdoors have similar jackets on sale atm. Not sure which ones are better though.
    http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/Product/MN-JKT-650-GOOSE-DOWN…

    • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 15:45
      +6

      I now own both. TBH they are both great and I have both of them with me now.

      I think the Ray's Outdoors one might look a little cleaner (more city less country), but that could be subjective and more on why I prefer the fit below.

      Some differences to note is; the Mac Pac has a separate travel pouch that you can lose, the Outdoor Expedition is sewn in. The Mac Pac has velcro sleeves and Ray's has stretchy fabric. Ray's has an additional internal pocket (which is half reserved for the sewn in pouch). I find the overall fabric of Ray's to be nicer, but my Mac Pac hasn't really been worn and is creased up from being in a shopping bag for a while - that may change. I prefer the fit of Ray's for me than than Mac Pac small if I am not wearing anything underneath.

      The Mac Pac is slightly heavier and potentially warmer but I can't say for now as I haven't given it enough of a go, that's not to say Ray's isn't warm - it really is. The weight issue could also be that my Ray's one is actually a women's size 14 that fit me a lot better than the small mens when I tried it (the mens was a bit baggy, like the Mac Pac small). I don't like the double zipper on my Ray's one. It gets caught sometimes and won't open close until I force it. Mac Pac has just the one zipper.

      They are both fantastic for the price. However I got my Ray's one last year for $60 I believe from a listing on this site about 10 months ago.

      (sorry I think you saw this when I had some wrong information in it, it's been corrected now to say that Ray's has the additional pocket and not the Mac Pac which has just the one).

      • abovethelimit on 27/07/2016 - 17:46

        +1 on the MacPac creasing….that thing creases so easily and stays that way mostly due to the fabric composition?

      For what it is worth the Macpac is rated at 600 fill and your goose one appears to be 650

    Any idea why the price shown first is $93.81 Then at check out it becomes $99.99 ?

    • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 16:10

      FWIW they are $99.99 in stores.

      GST would be more than the difference, so i don't think it's that.

    • Charleston on 27/07/2016 - 16:45

  • fookos on 27/07/2016 - 16:47

    Can anyone comment on colour having seen the jackets instore - the 'black' looks like a grey/charcoal on my monitor. Is it that light, or obviously 'black' when seen in real life!?

    • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 16:50
      +1

      It's black. Looking at the picture without the dude modelling it on my monitor is similar to the black the jacket actually is.

      In the photos where he is wearing it, that black is much closer to the actual grey/charcoal they sell.

      • fookos on 27/07/2016 - 17:03

        Jeepers - lucky you mentioned that.

        The version I thought was 'navy' is actually their 'black'. Maybe I'll get the 'forged iron' then.

        Clearly I need a new monitor at work (or maybe new eyes).

        • c0balt on 27/07/2016 - 17:16

          To be fair, there is a hint, a dash of very dark midnight blue. Its hard to make true black in shiny fabrics as it catches the light and reflects rather than absorbs.

    • caprimulgus on 27/07/2016 - 17:28
      +1

      it's black, but not a very dark solid black…it has a tinge of blue/grey in it.

      i'd call it a light black, or a very very dark bluish-grey dark grey.

    The ALDI down jacket $49.99 is identical in weight, specs (although 90% down) and apparent construction. Wondering if sourced from same factory?

      Dude they are horrible. Went in for that sale, picked up a jacket, dropped it ended up getting some hiking boots instead. I don't hike.

      Maybe it was a different type of jacket, but the one I held felt like it was worth less than the sticker price.

    If you usually wear a small, get XS. There is still enough space to wear a jumper underneath.

    I'm 170 cm and a medium build (70 kg). XS fits perfectly for me, even when wearing hoodie underneath. (S - arms are way too baggy)

  • fookos on 27/07/2016 - 22:23

    In case anyone else is in the same position as me…

    I ordered yesterday without the EXPLORE code so I rang Macpac directly to see if I could cancel the order. They asked me for the reason and I told them that I would want the 10% off so I would re-order which would end up a better deal for me. The lady on the phone said she would apply the 10% off for me and have the balance refunded to my card directly.

    Great customer service there!!!

  • CtrldKilla on 28/07/2016 - 09:37

    I'd normally be a medium but I'm trusting in my fellow ozbarginers and have bought a small :) Good deal OP!

  • prankster on 28/07/2016 - 09:38

    worth buying if i live in sydney and you'd only use it for winter (unless you go trekking or something)

    • c0balt on 28/07/2016 - 11:40
      +1

      If it's under 10, or under 15 with harsh wind, then you won't ever regret buying one of these. You'll wonder what took so long for you to buy a down jacket.

      If it's under 10-15 degrees without wind, then i'll be comfortable with these types of jacks and just a shirt underneath. If I'm walking around though I would have to open the jacket as they can get too hot when moving. More featured/explorer/expensive down jackets usually have adjustable vents for controlling this, so you can fine tune it to keep it closed but not cook if you wanted to go trekking, snowboarding or other activity in the cold.

      Also it's worth it just to save on heating bills for the times when you can get away with putting another layer on rather than turn the heater on or up.
