      Saw these in Hunting and Fishing and was dubious

      Saw these in Hunting and Fishing and was dubious. The warmth of a sleeping bag? Couldn’t believe it - it was so light. Got the opportunity to test one at the weekend and the coat is EVERYTHING advertised. Light, packs away to nothing. Warm, used it as my dressing gown AND out in the bush in the chilly evening AND in the wind and drizzle. I was sold! I was trialling the black but now own a camo one and it is absolutely coming with me everywhere. Camo is the new black LOL!

      Light, warm, quiet

      I have mostly been using this outer layer in Autumn/Winter in alpine conditions. It has quickly become my go to jacket for most trips that I do.

      It is super quiet and not rustley, so great for hunting. I find that when I get warm as I am walking, unzipping the front is enough to keep me at the right temp due to it being pretty breathable. It’s plenty warm enough when layered up (with Acclimate top) to be sitting around in.

      One of the main reasons I reach for this jacket is because of its weight and packability. I find it is very easy to stuff into a gap in my pack. It's super lightweight but doesn’t compromise in terms of warmth.

      I am super happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, light jacket. Great all round piece of gear for hunting.

      With no exaggerations this is the best jacket I’ve ever worn. It’s soft, quiet and warm.

      If you’re on the fence about purchasing one, this is your sign to do it!

      Great jacket!

      Great light weight, warm and made from material that doesn’t make pretty much any noise when you move. Absolutely love this jacket. Highly recommend!

      Absolute beast of a jacket. The outer materal is super soft, so be careful trecking through the bush with it as an outer layer. It feels like a cloud when wearing it, but at the same time it's really warm but breathable too. I found myself wearing it nearly everyday at home as well.
