The MicroPuff is good but my only gripe is the material - Its VERY thin and the stitching can come loose quite easily too! Getting the GW2 tomorrow!

[@rossjohanson8115]

Great review! Disagree on ghost whisperer 2 cuffs and hem drawcord for waist. MH GW1 had elastic wrist cuffs. They did away with them for durability. Elastic is a major failure point on all jackets. GW2 made a much more durable design. These jackets are hard use and skiing and field work shred the cuffs! Waist drawcord again is critical for keeping out drafts especially skiing--chairlift gusts if you aren't wearing a bib, and snow up the jacket from a fall can soak/ruin your afternoon! GW2 wins the comparison hands down IMHO. You get what you pay for!

Might get the ghost whisperer 2. Returning a Canadian goose hybridge it's cold.

[@PF9O]

I had a giggle at Pertum Quantex gaff, easy mistake :) Great review!

[@mynameisearl9283]

Please do a review of Outdoor Research helium down !

[@BackcountryRenegade]

Sounds good I’ll check it out

[@eddiesmith224]

Is there a reason you didn't compare apples to apples (down to down )?

[@BackcountryRenegade]

Yeah because I’ve done it a lot already and was specifically doing these two jackets. I have the gw 2 vs gw ul vid coming soon for that.

[@andrewhillis8973]

can I use this jacket in spring temps , or is it strictly a winter jackets . when temps would you use this in

[@BackcountryRenegade]

both are great for the spring when nights get cold. 30 degrees and above

[@Errcyco]

I learned a hard lesson over a decade.. I always got hoodless down jackets on sale thinking no biggy. Well.. it is a biggy, it sucks. I think I’ll end up with the Ghost Whisperer because I’ll be able to find a good deal cheaper. Patagonia does have a MUCH better warranty than other big name outdoor brands though so maybe worth the additional cost. Mountain hardware hasn’t let me down yet though. Had a ski jacket of theirs for a decade working in the mountains and it held up great.

[@BackcountryRenegade]

i agree. Started hoodless as well for layering purposes, but found I dont put a shell over is as much to make it worth going hoodless. Many more pros then cons for the hooded

[@Errcyco]

@@BackcountryRenegade subconsciously I was under the impression hooded stuff was frowned upon.. you’re stuck with it when you don’t need it.. logic seems sound right? Nope, anytime I need a down jacket on, I always wish it was hooded too haha. Expensive lesson

[@fileinterrupted1787]

is the ghost good with below 30 degree weather

[@BackcountryRenegade]

Id personally take something a bit heavier Like the down sweater or cerium, unless you play to wear several layers underneath

[@undefeatedgaul3201]

Ghost Whisperer 2 is a fing phenomenal jacket

[@oacy16]

Got a Ghost Whisperer.hoodie... Have a made a mistake?

[@i-yangh1384]

Ghost Whisperer 2 for sure

[@mehmetbaykurd6998]

Man, do the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer 1000 keep you warm? Is it as good as the Summit L3? Greetings from turkey

[@i-yangh1384]

@@mehmetbaykurd6998 I think it depends on what you want really. Ghost Whisperer is very lightweight 8oz and meant to be a midlayer. It's much more versatile for strategic layering, wearing it under another jacket. Summit L3 14oz is likely designed to be an outer layer. Summit is a little warmer and the shell is a little more durable. you can also wear these 2 together if you like!
