    Get macpac for <$100 on sale.
    This is not a bargain

    • Homerlovesbeer on 24/06/2023 - 22:23

      I doubt Macpac is real down like this jacket (Filling: 85% Down & 15% Waterfowl Feathers)

      • bidoof on 24/06/2023 - 23:56
        +3

        Down of the quality used in this jacket is cheap, and it’s essentially a fashion piece.

        The down used here is only slightly better than the real down in the Macpac/Kathmandu/Uniqlo equivalent for a third of the price, and the difference is going to be unnoticeable to the average buyer who’s going to be wearing this to drive to the local cafe.

        If you want something of actual quality I’d recommend Arcteryx or Patagonia.

        • Telios on 25/06/2023 - 02:12

          It's probably even below UNIQLO quality now.

          UNIQLO used to be around 640 fill power of mostly duck but I believe they improved it a few years ago.

          North face is either 650 or 700 fill.

          Most likely a bit better but doubtful it's goose down and certainly not $350 worth.

      • Srey on 26/06/2023 - 13:42

        Macpac's jackets are 80/20 duck down/feather, not synthetic. Not quite as down heavy and only 600 loft but like others have said - a third of the price.

    So many people don't appreciate quality gear. This will last years and is actually down, not polyester like other stuff.

    • Westpac on 24/06/2023 - 23:24

      This comment got me into a rabbit hole of finding out what is in these jackets!

    • M00Cow on 25/06/2023 - 14:37

      Polyester being plastic will out live goose/duck fluff by several hundred years.

    • 1r4n14n on 29/06/2023 - 08:27

      Except for people who respect the welfare of animals and don't want to wear their fur to keep them warm when there's many other humane options.

    Any deals on the more contemporary Numptee model

  • Shachiku on 24/06/2023 - 22:33

    Simiar to Macpac, but its price is much more affordable.

  • Chickenleg on 24/06/2023 - 22:46

    I have one of these that I bought on sale many years ago but hardly worn it as it’s so damn warm. Definitely a world of difference between real down and polyester fill.

    • LeonC on 24/06/2023 - 23:56

      Yes because there's very few places in Australia where this kind of jacket is necessary, and those places where it would be, people would by more legit gear than the north face.

    OzBargain, where $350 is too much for a Jacket but $500 is a steal for a pair of RM Gumboots

    Jokes aside, can attest to the quality of this jacket, bought one a couple years ago on sale, before the price hikes for ~$280

    +1 this jacket is amazing and well worth the $300 I paid 2 winters ago, and having experienced all three brands, Kathmandu and Macpac don't hold a candle to its warmth

    Goose down >>> duck down

    There's a reason why all three brands have similar RRPs but only one of them actually manages to maintain its price and not go on sale 300 days a year.

    • bidoof on 25/06/2023 - 00:31
      +1

      Duck and goose down perform the same for the same fill power. Even with lower fill power you only need a few more grams of down to get the same loft, and therefore the same warmth. Those few grams might matter if you’re climbing mountains, but the average user won’t even notice.

      You often see casual users getting excited about how “warm” they perceive a jacket to be, but this is only because they don’t understand that warmth is easy to achieve: all you need to do is stuff it with more cheap synthetic insulation or cheap down. In reality, when you buy a better insulating piece you’re paying for technical features like minimal weight, mobility, packability, ability to insulate when wet, or ability to vent moisture and heat when active (for example, the Summit series is TNF’s technical line).

      The Nuptse is just a fashion piece which performs the same as the Kathmandu or Macpac equivalent, and exists only to increase TNF’s profit margins by exploiting the so-called ‘hypebeast’ market, who are the reason why they can maintain those high prices.

  • Jetkuma on 24/06/2023 - 23:44

    Man…..I rather save a little bit more and buy Patagonia Down Jacket, Lululemon Down Jacket, or Arc'teryx Cerium. If I really want a high end down jacket, I just get Canada Goose.

    • Gunnar on 25/06/2023 - 00:16

      Even if you want North Face jackets for the brand, get the summit series gear

      But yeah, if you want warmth Canada Goose

    • MysticalWok on 25/06/2023 - 01:23

      Do you know if Australia has an authorised Canada Goose retail store?

      • Jetkuma on 25/06/2023 - 08:56

        The only one I know is Sneakerboy. A good place to try out for size. I would wait till Farfetch or Mr porter/net-a-porter has a promotion to buy. They sometimes give maybe a 10% discount (default since you just sign up for email and use) or more.

        • MysticalWok on 25/06/2023 - 13:34

          Thanks appreciate the info! Will check it out

    • Commenter on 25/06/2023 - 07:42

      I love Lululemon products but never thought it would be used in the same sentence as Patagonia or arcteryx. :)

      I have Patagonia Sweater which is very good but should have bought the hoody. My next purchase will be arcteryx but need to lose some weight around the tummy to fit into it.

          I already have a superdry jacket and it’s bit of a different vibe. Fit is definitely snug but I am on the more muscular spectrum

    I get this is OzB and all, but that's no way to live your life if you really are eager to buy something and it's on your mind for that extended period of time. I anticipate to be downvoted to hell.

      That sounds like an amazing find. Please note there are lots of counterfeit items on the market due to the popular nature of this product. I personally, wouldn’t take the risk of doing such a purchase from a non authorised seller.
