Reviews
An Outstanding Jacket!
"I have been a huge fan of down jackets for a long time, I must say that the Ptarmigan 850 jacket is by far my favorite. This jacket compresses down very small and fits easily into a day pack for scouting. I recently took it up on trip scouting new ground in a wilderness area at about 12000 feet, this jacket kept me very warm in the early mornings and late evenings. I can hardly wait to use it in truly cold weather."

Puffy coat
"I just received this and so I have not gotten to try it yet, however I love the fit, the camo and the quality of the jacket. I’m 5’11, 185lbs and the large fits great"

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!"
