Filled with 600 loft Responsible Down Standard (RDS) duck down and featuring elasticated cuffs and an adjustable hem, this jacket works to keep you warm by trapping heat against your body. The lightweight nylon shell features a water repellent finish, while the internal draft tube and soft chin guard aids insulation and overall comfort.

      it's always overpriced…like go to kathamndu it's always 40% off…

    Halo vs Uber. Which one to go for for Melbourne weather?

    • Duplicity on 25/11/2019 - 14:42

      love my halo!

    • rav_stk on 25/11/2019 - 18:20

      I find halo to be bit big in appearance. I 'll prefer Uber. For warmth wise either would be fine.

    • equinoxxx on 29/11/2019 - 16:59

      For Melbourne weather I would say Halo, I have both Halo and Uber. The halo seems warmer yet they both have the same loft rating 'shrugs'

    Hows this compare to Kathmandu - the official winter jacket of Melbourne.

    • TightTerry on 25/11/2019 - 14:58

      IMO Macpac is better than Kathmandu, however North Face trumps them both. Everyone's opinion is going to be different though i suppose.

      North Face > Macpac > Kathmandu

      There is of course plenty of other brands such as Patagonia and the super expensive ones like Moncler but the 3 above are probably your most common in Aus.

      • Griffindinho on 25/11/2019 - 16:12

        or you could get a Canadian goose. ive only see rich chinese students wear moncler

      • John Kimble on 25/11/2019 - 16:19

        Aren't Kathmandu and Macpac's history intertwined closely?

      • BugsBunnyAUS on 25/11/2019 - 16:23
        +2

        I'd probably agree with this, however North Face is generally a lot more expensive than both Kathmandu and Macpac (forgetting the over-inflated RRPs of those two brands) and given the prices you get on sale, they are pretty good value unless you're doing some super intense outdoor activities in bitterly cold weather.

        Decathlon is often worth looking at as well, I find their stuff to be of good quality and good value as well.

        • Hamlet on 25/11/2019 - 19:17

          Got a light down jacket (uber equivalent) for $70 a few months ago, amazing value!

      • funnysht on 25/11/2019 - 20:39

        North Face > Macpac > Kathmandu

        i agree, but also costly

        Birds/poultry get slaughtered for meat products. Better the feathers get sourced here, than plucking them from live birds (which happens)

    • redcreek200 on 25/11/2019 - 14:28

      No removal of feathers from live birds, no force feeding of birds. Several other anti-cruelty measures.

    Picked up the hooded version for $129 last week, quite impressed with it. They run big, so get your usual size and it should be good for putting over the top of other layers of clothing.

    Also the sleeves (at least in the hooded) were quite long, which for me as a tall guy is very welcome!)

    • useruser on 27/11/2019 - 16:50

  • BeefBiryani on 25/11/2019 - 15:03

      You can then try Patagonia Synthetic Down jacket. They are super light weight and quite warm, even when wet.

      You could try Gortex.

    I find the material of these jackets to be too shiny. Prefer the matte finish on the Kathmandu jackets.

  • madman697 on 25/11/2019 - 16:46

    I bought one of these last season, and my girlfriend bought the ladies' equivalent. We've both found that they lose filling much faster than other brands e.g. Kathmandu jackets. Anyone else have this experience as well?

    • ihbh on 25/11/2019 - 16:51

      lose filling

      How? Poke out and then come out of the jacket?

  • stockpimp on 25/11/2019 - 16:46

    What colour is better? Black or Black Iris?

    • navyskies on 25/11/2019 - 16:49

      Well do you like black or blue?

      • stockpimp on 25/11/2019 - 16:51

        leaning towards the black iris (blue)

        • navyskies on 25/11/2019 - 16:52

          im literally in the process of buying a blue one now. but I already have a black kathmandu one so follow your heart

  • Darkii on 25/11/2019 - 16:54

    Anyone tried these vs the Uniqlo Ultra Light Down?

    • Duplicity on 25/11/2019 - 17:36

      My SO had the Uniqlo one which she got rid of pretty quickly, if I remember correctly the Uniqlo is much thinner than the macpac

    • blackorange on 25/11/2019 - 18:49

      I found this to be way warmer in actual cold temps , difference may not be that obvious in Sydney but definitely preferred the macpac halo in Europe. I wore it recently in 0 degree temps and it was fine.. that's probably as low as something this cheap would take you to though

      • dm01 on 25/11/2019 - 20:01

        Agree - depending on what your comfortable range is, this is good to a few degree each side of freezing.

  • TimApple on 25/11/2019 - 17:33

    Is it available in store as well?

  • TEER3X on 25/11/2019 - 18:09

    Women's Halo is also on sale for $99.

  • sanerr on 25/11/2019 - 18:59

    Just got back from 2 weeks in Japan, wore this after I picked it up in the last deal, was great. Cut down wind chill perfectly!

    Can wear it unzipped when it’s not quite cold enough but awesome on a cold night. Rolls up pretty small in the carry bag so perfect for travelling to clip on your bag.

    It lost about 2 feathers that I noticed poking through. Have given it a wash now I’m home and after 30 minutes in the drier with a few drier balls it’s nice and plump again!

    Super happy with the purchase.

    Polar fleece jackets are a better option as ducks are live plucked for their down - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnnkHgyqARQ

  • Shane34 on 25/11/2019 - 20:58

    Anyone know roughly how long they stay waterproof? Guess it depends on how regular one gets drenched

    • BugsBunnyAUS on 25/11/2019 - 21:08

      These are not waterproof, just water resistant coating. Can't answer your question as to how much rain before it begins to seep through, however.

      • pippohippo on 25/11/2019 - 21:33

        light rain is okay doesn't seep through as long as you don't let it soak in the rain for too long. heavy rain, it's useless

  • timmiejay on 25/11/2019 - 21:14

    Does anyone know if this will keep you warm in 0 degree weather? Considering this for a holiday in December and will wear a hoodie and/or jumper underneath. Just for everyday use…not for hiking and the like

    • Cits on 25/11/2019 - 22:39

      This was my every day jacket for last ski season, Easily handles 0 degrees.

  • echelon6 on 25/11/2019 - 21:56

    free shipping for $100 and over and this costs 99.99

    dafuq else do i buy?

  • Freeza on 25/11/2019 - 23:32

    This halo jacket supported me in past winters. The only problem I faced was the ostrich feathers all around me.

  • BuddhaBoy on 26/11/2019 - 20:38

    Thanks OP!!

    I just bought the Uniqlo Ultra Down Jacket For $129 two days back.

    Saw this deal in the morning so went back to Uniqlo and returned it. Got the money back.

    Went straight the Macpac and saw the Halo for the first time and OMG… so soft! A bit bigger than Ultra Down from Uniqlo.

    Also… the sizes are a bit on the bigger side. I could easily fit in Medium when I normal get a L. Still got the L due to layering up.

  • Karimov on 27/11/2019 - 13:16

    Thanks OP, got one. Size is bigger than normal, but very soft and very light.

      way way way too warm a jacket for SF

      • dfitt10 on 29/11/2019 - 13:40

        Fair call. It would be Winter, so around the same temperature as Melbourne at that time.
        Any recommendations?
