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.

Wasn’t this $99 not long ago? Or perhaps different version?

  I think the $99 deals were for the non-hooded Halo jackets, this is the cheapest I remember seeing a hooded Halo. I was holding off for a hooded version personally.

  As others have said $99 is the typical sale price for non hooded ones. I've seen hooded ones for $120 b4 from Macpac. Not a big difference so I probably wouldn't wait if I really needed one.

Any size recommendations for 5ft 8 average male? Recent deals I think ppl recommended sizing down..
- Weirdish on 05/08/2020 - 12:39

  I reckon size Small. I'm 5 ft 9.5, 72kg, wearing a Small Halo (non hooded) now - ideal size. The Medium would have worked for me but was a bit too roomy.
  
  I was holding out for this deal - about $130 for a hooded. But in the end I decided the non-hooded would look better on me, and I wouldn't use the hood much, so I went hoodless for $99 a few weeks ago. Happy with it.
  
  FYI if you can't find the size/colour you want online and your local store doesn't have stock, they may order it in for you at no cost. Mine did.

  Small fit me well at 180cm/5'11" 77kg. I went reason to go to the store and the small halo is medium for their other jackets. So you might want to visit a store if you can if you're not sure about sizing.

  depends on your build. I'm 5ft 7, 76kg and medium is perfect for me. small was just too small and considering now is a time i'd be looking at bulking there is still a little bit of room left for me to fill out.
  - Griffindinho on 06/08/2020 - 11:58

I don't have one of these - but FYI to everyone interested is that every time these are posted the resounding opinion is that you should order a size down.
amanda89 on 05/08/2020 - 13:03

it does say Regular fit so i think it's just roomier to allow a jumper underneath but i guess if youre not wearing a jumper then maybe go size down
- dav3 on 05/08/2020 - 13:30
  
  No, they're massive. I'm usually a large (6'3", ~90kg) and a medium was plenty roomy for layers underneath, the large was way too big.
- robotfrom1984 on 05/08/2020 - 15:03
  
  I have the womens one. I was able to try one on at the store and I found the sizing quite small. It was quite tight across the shoulders. I ended up going one size up. Its roomy enough to layer up as well. Definitely recommend this jacket. I wear it a lot during winter and it's good for travel.

- UncleRico on 05/08/2020 - 13:28

  I don't have a Uniqlo, but the Halo's are seriously better and warmer than any other nylon or down jacket I've ever had. Highly recommended, and for good reason. People shouldn't be allowed to live in places like Melbourne or Canberra unless they own one, if only to ensure the rest of us don't have to put up with unending, banal comments about the weather or how cold they are……

- sphinxy on 05/08/2020 - 16:33
  
  +1
  
  Both have their uses.
  I personally have the Ultra Light Down jacket from Uniqlo (and for over 5 years).
  For an all rounder, day to day, the uniqlo one is my go to. But during colder weather I put on the Macpac for commuting.
  Good thing is that the uniqlo one is compact enough to shove into my backpack and I carry that to work as well. As it warms up during the day, I throw on the uniqlo one - usually during lunch times or when I go outside for fresh air.
  
  I have the non-hooded version and it is very warm and cosy, so it can easily get too warm on nice sunny (non-windy) days. I had to go XS and even that makes me look huge.
- loki niflheim on 07/08/2020 - 15:22
  
  These are warmer in general, to the point that when I wear it at home, it can get too warm. I don't wear it to go outside because it will get too hot. I wear a Uniqlo ones going out. I can comfortably wear these in a non-heated room (with hood on) playing on my PS4 at night.

        @theebargainer: "Outer fabric has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish – which encourages water to bead off its surface"
        
        This is straight from the Kathmandu website. Anyone that has tried both, keen to shed some light on this?

        @Bargain reaper: Nylon vs Polyster. Both are going to have water-resistant behaviour. Neither are waterproof. Both will absorb water and let water pass through it.
        
        I like Nylon (silky feel) for clothes because its softer but polyester (plastic feel) will dry quicker.
        
        I have no idea what a DWR is. Probably some kind of fabric protectant. Eg similiar to scotchguard. Yes protectants work but they for how long? I do not imagine very long.
        
        I do own the Halo but I can't compare it the Epiq. Just giving general observations of the fabrics. The Halo makes a great wind breaker, the Equip would do the same

        @4agte: Right, that makes a lot of sense. Especially the fabric repellent part…I thought it was built into the fabric, if it's only a spray on finish then I'm not sure if it's really worth it. Ill go in and try both out and decide I guess. Thanks for the input mate!
        
        Banana on 13/08/2020 - 17:21
        
        @Bargain reaper: I own a Kathmandu Epiq and a Macpac Demi Down. I find Epiq warmer and prefer how the fabric feels. I don't mind the Macpac one but I wear the Kathmandu a lot more than the Macpac. I think both pack down to little pillows.
- Bigyellowdragon on 06/08/2020 - 17:37
  
  I own both halo all the way, cheaper, softer, warmer imo better quality. The epiq is a little longer and kathmandu just seems to be a more popular brand amongst teens.

  My son bought one of these in a small, which surprised me, as he's usually a medium…so going down a size for the men's seems about right.
  However, I tried on the women's version…..
  I'm normally a 12, and if I wanted to wear something thick under it, the 14 would have been a better option. I ended up with another Macpac jacket….in a 12. I think the women's sizing is truer to size.
