    Can't recall details but in the vicinity of 2weeks for wear on earth. Don't remember it being an issue or waiting waiting waiting.

    Few months on and still happy wih my vest, trying to look after it so can't say what it's like for durability but used it a lot first thing in the morning before the truck heats up on the way to work. Also worn under a showerproof outer layer and love it. Would be getting a full length sleeved version if I didn't already have a couple of cheap Kathmandu ones.

    Wait time wasn't very long at all. 2 weeks max.

    This is by far the best down jacket I have used. I've had Kuiu & Mountain Hardware gear and this is much better. Love it, so warm.

    I enjoy supporting NZ Made products. Blairs cost me about $350 shipped which is crazy cheap when you compare to other big brands. And IMO these are much higher quality, if not the best

    Nice mate. I love mine, outstanding piece of gear. Keeps you seriously warm.

    It may be double the weight of other branded down jackets but there's no comparison when it comes to warmth. I'll have mine for years.

    Agreed, Blair has top quality service.
