    You can always find good down jackets at Decathlon that won’t be outrageously priced.

    • Horacio on 09/03/2023 - 22:49

      Good tip, I just looked and theirs seem to have hoods, plus higher loft filling for the same price

          They are the Aldi of sport things price wise. Just that they don't copy known brands but have their own ones.

          • UncommonName on 09/03/2023 - 23:50

            @ALBastru: What would be decathlon's equivalent of the Macpac halo down jacket?

            • ALBastru on 10/03/2023 - 08:06

              @UncommonName: I have no idea. But I do have a Decathlon down jacket, very thick, bought from Europe where it could stand cold and frosty winters in there and here I haven’t used it once. The $20 down jacket from Aldi is enough.

          • Papa Huggies on 10/03/2023 - 10:22

            @ALBastru: I would heavily advise against getting stuff that you're particular on though. Decathlon shoes are awful and not worth glancing at.

            • ippy on 10/03/2023 - 12:30

              @Papa Huggies: I had some and they were great. Too bad they don’t have physical stores in all capitals. I find their products very good and available in various price ranges for every budget.

  • jackking on 09/03/2023 - 19:17

      Yep. I've taken mine overseas to Japan in Hokkaido where it was snowing. Obvs I still had to layer up, but the jacket held up well and I was warm the whole time. I've had my jacket for years. No issues yet.

      +11

      This is a no frills jacket made with budget (80/20 duck), low loft filling.

      It might be as good as the cheapest North Face jackets if they exist, but this is not anywhere in the same league as North Face, Marmot, or whatever, gearnthats been designed for mountain use.

      It's cheap, it's warm for walking around town in winter, sure.

      When I bought one on sale last year, I ordered a size smaller and it fit perfectly. Usually a Medium in everything but bought a Small in this jacket.

        I concur. I am a medium and small fit me perfectly.

        Good to know, I’m somewhere between a Large and a XL, can be hard to know how big the jacket runs. Thanks for the heads up!

        • mnaah on 09/03/2023 - 22:03

          I am exactly the same and I got the medium and a hoodie still fits comfortably underneath it.

          • XxBargainHuntaxX on 09/03/2023 - 22:34

            @mnaah: Mmmm looking at the measurements, a medium wouldn’t fit me vertically anyway. I’m a tall lad

    • iSamurai on 09/03/2023 - 21:30

      from the loads of comments in previous deals, buy a size smaller than your usual size.

          put a tennis ball or something in to the dryer with the jacket and it should loft up again.

      "How to wash your feather down jacket
      Here are a few tips: close all the zips on your down jacket and put it in the washing machine (synthetic cycle at 30°C).In order to preserve the fill power and warmth, you can even put 2 tennis balls in the machineBe careful to set a gentle spin cycle: a fast spin cycle may create balls of feathers that are difficult to break up.For more advice, click the link below!https://www.forclaz.co.uk/how-should-i-look-after-my-down-jacket

      How to dry my down jacket?
      When you take your down jacket out of the washing machine it will seem as if the down has gone A tumble dryer is the best way to restore the fill power of the feathers. Put your down jacket in the tumble dryer with 2 tennis balls Run 2-3 drying cycles.If you don’t have a tumble dryer, you can completely dry your down jacket on a drying rack by turning it over and tapping regularly."

    • hongco1990 on 10/03/2023 - 01:38

      You can check out Patagonia Torrent Shell. Not Gortex but excellent value for money, especially with their recent 30% off sale (not sure if still ongoing). It has pit zips which you might find them handy.

    Interest rate still damn too low.

      interest is a joke and overrated

    • greennick on 10/03/2023 - 15:27

      Interest rate increases absolutely screws those new to property, overloaded, or looking to buy their first with tight serviceability. Older folks and those on retirement savings often have more money to spend when interest rates go up.

  • UncommonName on 09/03/2023 - 23:01

      In term of warmth, I wore my V1 to NZ and Canberra - no issues whatsoever. Was so happy with V1 so I bought the V2 and just returned it a few weeks ago.

      What the previous commenters said about V1 vs V2 were spot on. I'm a size 6 women's in V1 (for reference I'm normally a size 6/8, and wear size XXS/XS in Uniqlo jacket). Size 6 in V2 was tight on the arms/underarms. Size 8 was better but looked rather huge on my small Asian build. It tooked a bit of effort to pack the V2 in its own built in pocket. I had a feeling the zipper might break at any time if I pull it too hard after stuffing the jacket in. The wisteria colorway was very flattering though, but not enough to make me keep the V2. I'd rather save my money for the (improved) V3.

      • Griffindinho on 10/03/2023 - 09:28

  • hawktalk on 10/03/2023 - 08:17

    I was wondering when the next Macpac deal would appear, temptation got the better of me late March last year when the hooded version was cheap.

    I got some decent wear out of it, but the material is easily rip-able lol (happened twice, once on the hood and another on the inside). Still kept me warm.

  • Saul Goodman on 10/03/2023 - 08:52
