Reviews
Good Jacket, Lacks Loft
"Good but not as lofty as my Taiga Downlite. I was going to return but the lack of loft fits better under my shell (Sitka Jetstream) so the Taiga compresses to the same density under a shell. FYI, the Ptarmagan is Large and the shell is XL. The image shows the Taiga on the left and Skre on the right."

Best puffy jacket ever
"This jacket is literally the best jacket ever. I ordered it in the ash brown color to wear while glassing and out and about during winter. And this jacket beat all my expectations by a long shot. Super warm, nice fit, and best of all wind resistant. I wore it in 30+ mph wind gusts and didn’t even feel the wind. Would highly recommend!"

Damaged
"Received item damaged. Complete return damaged item for exchange. Received email stating return is under review over 48 hours ago and no further response from skre. Have attempted to contact Skre customer service and phone just rings and review voicemail that they are busy with other customers. I question if they even have anyone answering the customer service phone line."

Puffy
"I like the jacket very much and it does seem to be quite warm. The sizing and the quality of the manufacture are high quality. I have another 850 down jacket which has a better loft but inferior zippers and no hood. I was anticipating an inside zip pocket but the outside pocket is better for accessibility but possibly less for security. All in all it is an excellent jacket. I read a suggestion that it could be layered with a hardscrabble but Im not sure that this would work with 2 "large" size jackets."

Great down jacket
"Great outer layer or insulating layer. I always plan to throw my hardscrabble jacket over it or pack it away if you’re busting through the brush. Not the best material for that application."
