Thread: What is the best lightweight puffer jacket for hunting?

They're not designed to be worn actively, and definitely not walking through bush with one on. You'd be swearing buckets

and sweating even

Haha both!

I’ve just received a new WOE jacket (after mine got pinched from the laundry - whoops) and the service from Blair was excellent. I love my new jacket, it’s so warm, and packs down well into the chest pocket.

Going back to the original question, I just can’t seem to go past my rab microlight alpine jacket. I wear it to work, hunting, hiking, hooning around on the motorbike, to the beach. It really is fantastic. It’s got a great fitting hood with a wire at the peak, packs down to virtually nothing, has three well-thought-out pockets, is thin so you can wear under a rainshell yet plenty warm enough. I keep waiting for it to tear but it’s been pretty durable so far too. That would get my vote for your list of criteria.
