I'm in from got doors and this is the rub electron jacket it's a down jacket that's great for cold weather adventures and it's a highly technical jacket and it uses 800 fill power ethically sourced. Hydrophobic down 800 fill power basically means it's the highest quality you can get and the hydrophobic treatment which is done in conjunction with nick wax means that it's highly resistant to the damp the outer fabric. Is pertex quantum pro which is highly. Weather resistant and has a dwr treatment which means it will shed off rain and water if you some of the. Features at the bottom it has a draw cord hem and which you can cinch in to keep drafts out and keep your warmth in there are two deep hand warmer pockets that. Are slightly raised so you can wear them with a climbing harness or a rucksack belt and then inside this pocket there's. A stuff sack so you can keep the jacket in here when you're not using it in your bag the cuffs have this stretch binding. Which is as well as being really comfortable it's always sealing the heating and keeping drafts out and on. The top it has a full down hood which is fully adjustable can be cinched in at the back and around the side and has a wide peak to keep out any snow so this. Is the rab electron jacket this is the men's version we also do a women's version it's a highly technical super warm down jacket that bridges the gap between a thin micro buffle down jacket or a full weight big down jacket so. It's very warm but it isn't massively bulky so it's perfect for winter climbing using the alps or any. Cold-weather adventures anywhere around the world they're available in-store and online now so check them out thanks for watching.

Why man she kills knobs and watches baby. And this is about the doc my momma. Mountain hardwear man wasn't there you. Know mountain hardwear my cuz we gotta. Have out there mountain hardwear logo in it man and these are the ghost whisperer. Jackets now what they are they're. Lightweight down jackets by lightweight. You wouldn't believe me if i told you how light they are i know i've done. Videos on them before but this is a one. Year later update on the two non hooded. Jackets that we have this black one and. Then this green one now this one's mine. Of course the black ones means guns knives and watches and i really like the green but. When i purchased these these things list. For $300 apiece for the non hooded and. Three hundred and fifty dollars a piece for the hood hood in my real-world. Estimation unless you're going for a. Fashion statement that you're just going to wear to school or something or da-da-da-da-da or to non there's no need. In paying $350 you can buy these things. On closeout all the time from a hundred and thirty dollars for the non hooded. And about 140 to 150 dollars so i would. Go in somewhere in that price range a hundred and thirty to a hundred and fifty dollars apiece now you may not get. The the color you want you may not get. The size that you want but that's just. The way it is i'll give you an example of that you know i i didn't my first. Inclination was not to purchase this and bright green jacket even though i really. Do like it now i would have much rather. Had something that's a little more subdued like this one but for the price. I think i got this for a hundred and thirty dollars it's really great of. Course these are down lightweight insulated layers can be exterior layers the one thing about this down is is treated with something that they're marketing as cue. Shield right there and what that does is. That gives the down the ability to get. Wet and everything's better when it's. Wet maybe it really is things don't get. Interesting till it starts raining you're not training less it's raining that's just the way it works. So these hold some of their ability to. Have warmth even when wet when. Traditional that untreated down isn't and that's really the basis of my. Judging the honest to god value of these these items because there is a lot of. Sewing into in it each stitch there's. Not a lot of treated down in it and if you can notice through this orange. Because it's more of a translucent. Orange you can see some of the darker. Feathers possibly on camera showing. Through now let me see if i can make. That work probably not anyway it doesn't matter but like i said missus guns. Knives and watch it's got a small in this where she would normally wear an extra small it's a little long in the sleeves but for the price you couldn't couldn't beat it and then of course i got this more whatever type of green. That it is but if i was gonna buy one my. Recommendation is that you go with the hood because there's such a small. Difference between the cost of the two and people hike use these to hike the appalachian trail they use them out on hiking and they use them all kinds of different things and i carry believe it. Or not i carry a backpack all the time when i wear mine and there's no real. Wear marks now this is a micro rip stop. And i can't really show you that on. Camera because it seems is or maybe i. Can there's a micro rip stop pattern. Man i don't know that's showing everyone. And it's a very very high thread-count. Fabric which gives it the ability number. One your feathers aren't going to poke through which in a lesser thread count of course they would and also you get. Basically a strength factor similar to. Silk okay where you don't have you don't. Have the big thread like you're doing like kevlar or like no matte nomex or. Any of that other kind of crap no max it. For fire rating but spec tara whatever. You know you you get the gist of the idea so i would say these are really. Good codes highly recommend them via our favorites they're extremely lightweight they're extremely packable everything packs up in its own little pocket you can see. It's got a double zipper on it and it. Just goes in relatively easy without. Much fuss without much this that or the other and just gonna eat your shelf. Liner but that's basically what you're. Left with and i'll even go through the. Effort of zipping it even though i have. Found that with these compressible coats. And things like this you really need to. Pull the zipper together to zip it or. Else you basically wind up putting too much force on the zipper itself that's. Pretty self-explanatory this isn't rocket science or anything like that and. Me hugging a tripod right now anything exactly probably the best setup in the world. But let's see if i can do it on camera it's not real till it's on film right. Anyway about size of my hand of course i. Got rather large size hands but it's just the way it is well what else can i. Say. Told you the pricing told you this there or the other course at 300 and 350 and. If you're going to use these things you're whacked out of your gourd but. That you know they're dumb people born. Every day this guy's knives and watches and have a. Good one buy things when people don't. Want them don't buy them when they're in high demand you know by last year's. Color buy whatever just do it correctly one thing that i have noticed between. The generations of these two and. Probably i pulled the wrong one out the older ones had elastic on the edge elastic if it's really good quality kind. Of a problem with the newer ones. Don't they have a just a basic wear. Strip there which has very little flecks. In it i don't know how that's going to. Actually which one's going to wear out first or give up its ghost first but. These are wearing well this gots knives. And watches peace out.

This is the mountain hardwear men's ghost whisperer down jacket at seven. Ounces it offers ultra lightweight warmth great pack ability as an extra. Layer or for cool weather temperatures the ghost whisperer is insulated with. 850 full q shield down what's so. Important about that is it is water repellent down traditionally down insulation while very compressible very. Warm is susceptible to decrease. Performance should it become wet so in humid conditions in moist conditions it. Loses its ability to keep you warm it is a low profile jacket again it's not designed for the coldest of weather but. A certainly intended to keep you warm can't do that if that down can't retain. Its abilities and q shield down allows. This jacket to function in all types of conditions also helping to maintain that. Lightweight design 70 + 10 d ripstops. Nylon shell fabric here on the jacket it. Is surprisingly tough but that is. Definitely an ultra lightweight fabrication — so be aware of that as far. As adjust ability on the jacket you do have a single pull here at the hem to. Snug that in and kind of dial in fit. Elasticity at the cuffs you do have a. Full length zipper on the jacket so easy. On easy off not gonna find that on every. Jacket that's a mere 7 ounces a lot of. Times in order to accomplish that manufacturers have to go to the half zip the ghost whisperer down jacket does have that convenient folds it as far as. Pocketing is concerned on the jacket very streamlined you do have two zippered hand warmer pockets there aren't any internal pockets or chest. Pockets on this jacket the right side. Pocket does allow you to stow the jacket. Inside it so when you don't need it when you just want to throw it inside your pack it hides away inside its very own. Integrate here's that ghost whisperer stuffed away. Inside that right pocket you can see those nice compact dimensions and again. At just seven ounces this really is an. Ideal piece for the backpacker to have. At the ready when temperatures dip a. Little bit and you just need a little extra warmth certainly looks great to do so a nice option for cool weather.

Okay guys this is the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer down jacket down is a. 800 fill down i don't actually have the. Gram weight of the down because the manufacturer didn't provide that information 7 deniers by 10 denier ripstop nylon meaning i think it's seven. In one direction int in another direction it does have a dwr finish like. The other jackets that we've discussed and also mountain hardwear I'm going a step further, and they have put a dwr treatment on the down itself inside the. Jacket they claim this down is more water resistance than standard down. There are lots of little cells, and they are totally closed off so you don't have. That concern about having down migrate. Around between the down cells zipped all. The way up the color does stand up again we do have space zipping seems smooth no issues there. This cut is clearly a longer and thinner. More athletic cut than the boxiness of the mont beljac its turn here and give. You a view of the sides and back five. You again a view with the zipper down just so you get a feel for what that looks like this is a medium and on my. Frame i feel again this is too big too baggy a lot of folks like their jackets like this right they want to put a lot of layers underneath they like to have that roominess bagginess i like it a little bit more fitted again no hood on this cuff style. There's no elastic in the cuff they have. What they call i think they called it a buttery lining it's just sort of suede. Or soft lining a suede light probably. Not actually swayed it's actually snug or even though it's not elastic it actually sits around my hands making a better seal than the anorak and the plasma did. I think because it's longer so it sits down on the wider meteor part of my hands and makes a seal this one is kind of. Interesting I'll try and show you a close-up later it's a single point. Although the court does go all the way. Around your body it's a single pull. Hopefully you can see that and then the release is actually inside here and. Maybe we can get a close-up of that later but what you do is you just pinch. The release and then it comes undone no. Problem pockets now this is important to me this actually has two hand warming. Pockets okay big deep and warming pockets with a nice zipper on those. Which is something that we haven't seen any other models fabric wise this. Actually feels a little shinier than the. Montville jackets I'm not so much into. The shininess but it's not a problem is. Clearly less crinkly than the montville. Jackets I've got no pretty cleanness at all no creaking noise 209 grams. Now this jacket does not have a stuff sack it does stuff into its own pocket. The right side pocket has a reverse. Zipper so when you go inverted you do. Have a zipper on the outside so that's a nice feature okay guys you're looking at the small and the ghost whisperer the. Mountain hardwear ghost whisperer jacket and snug it's fitted i can still get a. Layer underneath it at least a nice thick capilene maybe even a fleece but. This is what i like let me give you a look with the zipper on and off how that. Feels and wears and do a little runway. Show for you get the front back insides. This jacket is weighs in and 195 grams. So again a little bit heavier than the. Mock bail jackets but still extremely light and it does have the other features obviously that i mentioned with regard to the medium so i hope that's helped we're gonna talk about pack ability price, and then we'll wrap it up what we're. Looking at here is the anorak the x. Light down interact for month though small and medium this is the plasma. 1,000 small and medium this is the. Mountain hardwear ghost whisperer small and medium this is a standard 32 ounce now gn bottle this is the smaller 16-ounce nalgene bottle if you've seen. Those again these four are in a stuff. Sack these are stuffed into their own pocket. All of these stuffed fairly easily i. Think this bag is actually slightly bigger than this bag the plasma bag is. Bigger than the anorak bag that's why it looks bigger although the anorak is a slightly larger jacket with a hood so it's actually packed in there a little tighter all of these jackets compress a lot more if i. Have three hands i would show you if you take your palms and smoosh both ends. These jackets together you can easily smush them to half the length of what. They are in front of you now certainly within the size or volume of that nalgene bottle there so that's the. Review guys i spent a lot of time looking at these jackets being reviews and then evaluating these jackets in my own home i spent some time trying to put. Together a video that would give you the. Best of all the videos and reviews that i watched so i would cover all the information people say some things, and they leave out other parts i tried to cover all the details with all three jackets so you can really get an idea of. What would be the best jacket for you and I'm gonna go with small down whisper or ghost whisperer rather because it's. Got the features that i liked it doesn't have any cream cleanness it does have a slim taller fit it does have the pockets. It does have the hem adjustment around the waist so i just like that jacket the. The Best alright guys happy gear hunting and. Please like share and subscribe if you appreciate this video I've got a lot more ideas another video on the rain. Jackets that i evaluated — check the description of the video for a link to a. Spreadsheet with the details weights prices please like share and subscribe, and we'll see you soon.

I'm janet Wilkinson and I'm wearing the. Ghost whisperer jacket and it is an. Awesome jacket it's compressible and. Ultra lightweight which is the perfect. Combination of things. A jacket this light is a no-brainer to. Take on a long climbing day when we're. Trying to cut weight and be minimalistic. Because I'm happy with myself when i. Actually need it and don't regret it if. I don't need it because it's just not in. The way this jacket is compresses into. Its own right pocket so i can bring it. Almost anywhere clip it anywhere use it as a pillow just ignore it in the bottom. Of my pack it just goes anywhere i love that about it.

Hi this is craig geology with review of the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded down jacket for pro like here calm i would put this jacket up against. The patagonia ultralight down hoody but. I like this jacket better for the following reasons number one it's lighter weight and number two it uses a more intelligent or a higher performance. Baffle design than the ultralight down hoody from patagonia and it's got a what. I feel is a better design around the. Neck area for a hooded jacket let's tell you a little bit about this jacket comes in 7.9 ounces or 223. Grams I'm wearing a size medium the size. Large was cut a little big for me it's filled with two point eight ounces of 850 fill power q shields a hydrophobic. Down q shield is similar to the sierra. Designs dry down they've talked about earlier it's where they take each individual plume, and they treat the. Plume with a dwr durable water repellent. To make it hydrophobic so that the balloon or the plume can withstand the. Presence of moisture and not collapse you know down works by when it's inside a baffle it's the loft or the. Springiness of those individual down plumes that create the dead air space inside these baffles i haven't played. Around a lot with the q shield so i look. Forward to testing that out a little bit more in the future and kind of validating just how well it works and. Some other things about this jacket it's using their whisper or fabric which is a seven janiero by changing your fabric it's a really lightweight fabric and. It's kind of just a really nice hand — it's very compressible the baffle design this is using about a 1.4 inch. One point three six inches sized baffle so. A good baffle it's a uniform baffle. Versus some of the other products up here that are using these variegated. Baffle designs the draw cord it's a very. Small draw cord in the waist but it does have a draw cord for the waste it's a hidden draw cord it does have two. Zippered pockets on it. And what i like about this jacket is when you zip it all the way up it. Creates a nice tight fit around the neck helps seal off that neck area, and we. Noticed that when we're looking at these jackets underneath the ar with the flir thermal imaging camera that this jacket. The hooded jacket sometimes when you zip them all the way up they still leave a bit of room around the neck and you can. See that the heat escaping through the neck on hooded jacket, so they all work. Pretty well once you put the hood up it's when you just have them fully zipped up with the hood down that we can tell a difference so i really like this and it just uses a standard kind of. Stretch binding in the cuff but it's a. Little bit loose fitting that's the only thing i might say about this jacket is the cuff could fit a little bit. Tighter so that wraps up the review of. The mountain hardwear ghost whisperer. Down hooded jacket it's a jacket that i. Really like it works well as a layering. Piece for a mid layer but also you can wear this standalone as an exterior piece as well just a great jacket for. $350 from mountain hardwear thank you for watching our videos thank you for subscribing to our channel and stay tuned to this channel for more videos in the future.

Hi I'm after steve and today I'm testing. And reviewing mountain hardwear's updated ghost whisperer down jacket this. Down jacket has got to be the lightest down jacket i have ever picked up i keep. Hanging it to people and telling them to try it because they just can't believe how light it weighs the entire coat is. Just over 200 grams and is incredibly. Compressible to be able to stuff it in a. Backpack I've been using it now for over. Two months including up in the mountains in poland for hiking and it has been an absolute dream to wear being a super. Lightweight jacket it's pretty stripped down it doesn't have that many features for example the cops are just elasticized but there still are two full. Hand stash pockets it's got a fairly small zipper once you zip it up it fits. Really nicely as you can see so it's. What's called an active fit and hugs your body quite nicely the jacket as well. Features a single quick pull waist cinch. Located on one side i just pull it here. And it tightens up around my waist which is quite handy to be able to do it with just one hand we're insulation this jacket uses an 850. Fill down and if you know anything about down that means it's pretty darn warm. But the real magic is the fact that they've actually created a process which they call q shield down i guess and it. Essentially infuses the down which will built-in water repellency so even when. It gets wet it maintains its loft and it's warm because of the tight weave it's also quite wind proof so I've had this out in. A night breeze and i still stay warm the jacket I'm wearing it's a size small blue obviously but it also comes a few. Other colors and a range of sizes for those that are looking for a little bit more coverage you can actually get the ghost whisperer hooded down jacket which. Is the exact same as this one only has a fold down hood that you can bring over your head as well in case you're wondering the jacket does it into its own punch which is pretty amazing so I've stuffed it all in there which wasn't too hard now i just unpack it. Like that throw it on and I'm nice and. Water people ask me what this coat might be rated to in terms of temperature and i do have a thicker down jacket that i. Wear in the dead of winter and it's always warm i still have a little bit of. A concern that once a temperature dips to really cold temperatures this won't quite cut it but the beauty of it is it's so small and thin and has such a. Nice cut that i can put on pretty much any of my shells over top of this easily without any problem i do have one small nitpick with jacket and that's the zipper I've actually found a number of times when i was heading out the door and i grabbed the jacket trying to zip it up quickly I've had problems at the bottom not quite lining up and then the zipper separating at the bottom so I'm here in the tatra mountains hiking I'll hold the day started out dry and warm as. We got up high in the mountains i got pretty windy but luckily i had my ghost whisperer down johnny it fit right in my. Camera bag without any problem it was great to have a long well as you can see we have a nice snowfall today it's pretty chilly but. With this jacket on I'm nice and toasty. On the inside and i barely feel the weight on well that's it for my review the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer down jacket it's got a lot of warmth without the weight and the q shield down keeps it nice and dry even when there's snow or a little bit of rain coming down more information on this and all the other products at the mountain hardwear ca. You.

Hey it's wintertime had a kind of. Multitasking morning and so i had to run down here with my gator for the way home this afternoon so i want to show you this jacket that I've been wearing all winter so far from mountain hardwear it's the ghost whisperer this is a nice. Techie down jacket the zipper on this. Actually weighs more than the code. Itself all right so essentially you saw me pull it out that what it is its a. It's a high-end you know outdoor. Wintertime warm coat i can ride my bike. Home tonight it would be about 10 degrees with a t-shirt on underneath this once i kind of get warm inside. There it's going to keep all that warmth in there this is not something that i go out and test for running because if i. Ran in this and be about 5 minutes and I'd just be roasting my cooker but for. What i wear it for is before and after monday nights we snowshoe and so I'll. Wear this until we get ready to go pull it off and as soon as we get back we stand around then you get cold standing around and outdoors and then I'll put that back on and really regenerates the heat but so far super durable i got. Little kids at home you know they're always tugging on me and i got we've. Been moving snowshoes around this winter with calls on so far i have to put a hole or nothing in it so I've been really impressed it's mountain hardwear it's high-end stuff but if you're. Looking for a very versatile coat that's warm enough for almost all winter everything but light enough and pack able. And your backpack and all that stuff this seriously with my backpack now I'm. Packing this in there and then i got a little waterproof shell jacket that if. It got cold and wet i basically be set. For about anything so check it out mountain hardwear we'll see you. You.

All guys wanted to do a quick review. Of the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer hooded jacket this is an 800 full power. 800 fill power down with the 7 denier. Fabric and it has the q shield which. Means that every down plume or the down. Was treated with a dwr coating to. Protect it from some of the weaknesses of down which is moisture there is. Footage at the end of this video that I'll include where i wash the jacket and. How you could see the look looms you. No clumping when wet and i put it in the dryer with four. Tennis balls tumble dry low for about 60. Minutes i guess you could do it a little. Shorter but i like to do it on low heat not to damage the fabric and end it down. As much as i can i will be adding you. No down safe detergent to my cleaning. Supplies whatever you want to call that. For all my down coats now i wound up purchasing this jacket. Because i felt that the cerium lt was. Just a little bit warm for my daily use here in new york city this jacket is. Great down to freezing and up to the. Mid-40s you don't overheat with this as much as. The cerium lt and then app when it goes. Up and we have days when it's 35 in the. Morning and it's 55 by the afternoon it's light enough eight and a half. Ounces was easier for me to. Psychologically carry in my backpack than an 11 ounce serum lt so I've owned. This piece since march 2017 did not. Really get a full we use out of this during 2017 bought it. When it was on sale, and we had a couple of cold days before spring had really. Arrived and was able to use it towards. The end of 2017 winter in march so i was. Really upset to see that earlier this. Winter without even a full seasons use. That the stitching was coming off so you. Could see here this was on the right sleeve right by the elbow and then as well. Now after washing it i also noticed that. There's more stitching coming off right. Above that so it could be a quality. Control issue i have the former or. Previous version of this which is the. Yellow one i featured in one of my videos and that jacket does not show any. Signs of wear and I've used it i guess. Pretty close to you know i guess it's. More of a handful of times in comparison to this but more than 1020. Times for sure the color is a bit hard. To use outside of back country use but i. Did use it for at least two seasons but. Not every day like this jacket now. Mountain hardwear has a limited or has a. Lifetime warranty but they're going to. Require you to ship it back to the. Manufacturer other thing is if you. Attempt to fix this yourself or pay. Someone to fix it voids that warranty. So i found out that paragon sports here. In new york city mails back to the. Manufacturer so I'm actually bringing this to paragon sports today. And this is maybe the last chance i get. To review this actual jacket because. Either they repair it or they send you a. New jacket so i wanted to show you guys. The defects before i ship it back to the. Manufacturer so rei also does that for. Their customers anyway don't want to. Dwell too much on this in terms of. Performance it's very warm for its. Weight and the face fabric which is. Super thin has held up really well you. No i wear a backpack every day and you. Do not see any signs of wear on the. Shoulders the floor even though it. Doesn't have an adjustment fits pretty. Well except on really windy days so. There's also no signs of wear for. Abrasion where the backpack is so if it. Were not for the stitching coming off i. Think for the most part the materials. Used are very durable I've had no issues. With the zipper and you've got a pretty. Nice zipper garage up there. And this is a ykk i believe this is a. Ykk vislon zipper which is better than. The zipper on the cerium lt as far as. Most reviews are concerned these do not. Get stuck or snag as much as the i think. Coil zippers are they that's what they call them just put some comments below if i butchered that anyway I'm just gonna. Show you guys how the jacket fits so you. Don't have to go to my last video and. That's about it weighs eight and a half. Ounces I'm gonna pause and put it in its. Stuff sack that way you guys have a. Reference for packed size and weight so. Here is the ghost whisperer down hoody. Right next to a 1 liter nalgene just for. Size comparison it does not compact as. Small as its previous iteration which. Was the 850 fill power down that had a. Smaller pocket a big advantage is that. The larger pocket makes it easier to stuff the jacket in there and also you. Just have more space for more things in. Your pockets the jacket weighs in at. Ain't 8.4 ounces so it's very light you. Can still compress this smaller. If you are one of those people that. Brings compression sacks but i have no. Problem with the size of this jacket in. Terms of its compressed or packed size usually I'll actually just roll the. Jacket and stuff it into its own hood and then throw that thing in my backpack so i don't even use this still pocket. That much anyway I'll be showing you. Guys to fit up the jacket and then I'll. Be heading to aragon sports today and. Sort of saying goodbye to this jacket not sure if they're gonna be shipping. The same jacket back to me or if they're. Just going to replace it hopefully they. Will be able to repair this jacket i do. Like the color and I'm a big fan of the. Ghost whisperer despite some of the. Damages that this jacket has incurred i. Still, have my old version and that thing. Still going strong just not a big fan of. The color which is yellow so alright. Moving on to the next part of the video. Which is the fit so i just wanted to. Show you guys the fit of mountain harbor. Ghost whisperer without having to refer. To other videos I'm 5 foot 8 currently. Weighing in between 193 195 pounds right. Now i wear size large and pretty much. All outdoor jackets and you know regular. Clothing so the fit of the jacket is. Pretty basic its athletic a little bit. Roomier around the torso then the. Arc'teryx serum lt or cerium sl and. For those who haven't seen that video you could look at the cerium sl hoody. First impressions review and comparison video now there is no hood adjustment. But the hood it's pretty well collar. Comes up pretty you know pretty high. Right under the chin but still pretty. Comfortable the sleeves are nice and. Long even though I'm a fairly short guy. I have a 72-inch reach so the arms are. Long enough even though i have to put. Then over my head the one thing that i. Do miss with this jacket is the. Articulation of that sort of that sort. Of a diamond looking piece that arc'teryx has for articulation on their. Pieces which is not present here but the. Jacket is roomy enough and mobile enough. It's a little shiny a little crinkly. This piece though i found that the seven. Didn't ear fabric on the ghost whisperer. Is noticeably wind proof or more wind. Proof than the cerium sl hoody which is. Why i would choose this over this area. Msl hoodie $350. Eight and a half ounces and a lifetime. Warranty granted not the most convenient. Lifetime warranty which is all about. Patagonia for all of you people out there who want that best warranty as far. As i know how to go nia has the best warranty there is for outdoor gear really cool feature there just one hand. Drawstring action we release that draw cord as well. And you just pull with one hand to seal. In the air the hand pockets are also set. Above your hips or right by the hips. Technically speaking but it's very easy. Just to bring that up and have your hip. Belt right under the pocket so you can. Still access items in your pockets. Anyway that's about this it for this. Jacket and I'll let you guys know in an. Update video later on once i receive. Either this jacket back repaired or a. New jacket or maybe a gift card however. They deal with it that's one thing that. I will start reviewing on my channel is also the return process or warranty of. These items and i lost some video on. Some shoes hiking shoes that i returned. From vasc but I'll be doing a lot more. Shoe and footwear reviews this coming. Year so stay tuned for those thank you. Very much for watching please like share and subscribe and I'll see you next time. So after seasons used i mean after a. Seasons use here's the mountain hardwear ghost whisperer just popped it in the. Washing machine I'm about to dry it. It's interesting how looks almost like a. Windshield and some of the parts where the downs just compressed i kind of wish. That this was the color of the jacket it's actually the lining or the backing. Just that nice dark loose anyway. Just taking some footage and I'll show. You guys once the jackets nice and puffy using. Tennis balls to get the down to fluff. Back up just adding some video to the. Long term review of the hooded version of the ghost whisperer this is the 850. 800 fill and the face fabric has been. Really good but some of the stitching. Started to break off on this particular jacket I'm not sure how many reports. They get you know in terms of quality. Control but i see that this particular. Piece some of the stitching was coming. Off so I'll be bringing this back to the retailer which is paragon sports and. Mounting hardware has a pretty decent. Policy at least it shows you know you can mail it back to them they're going to take a look at it either repair or replace it just make sure that you don't have the jacket prepared by yourself or. Somebody else because that does point the lifetime. So anyway I'll be going to the top of. This little guy very windy 37 degrees. But with the windchill feels like 22. I've got a little zip top under this and. It's holding up pretty well anyway that's it for now and I'll be showing. Updates and how do you guys know us well now that warranty is i think that should. Be part of the product reviews from now. On at least on my end it will be how easy is it to contact their customer service and how good they are at you. No basically standing behind their product all right so it's really windy. Gonna have to set this down for now.

Let's take a closer look at its features so i really don't try to keep it minimalistic this jacket is all about keeping you warm so the only storage you've got is your two traditional hip pockets on the bottom there well you'll notice with the hip pocket it's slightly raised so if you are wearing a climbing harness or if you've got your you know your hip straps close around your hips you still have access to the pocket itself nice and wide entry on the pocket. Even i can get my hands in there but space though is really cool you've got nice depth to it but the height overall pretty much is really good i mean it's pretty much owns that seam there and it goes all the way down. To the bottom of the jacket so if you've got an os map or a harvey's map should have any issues with the storage and because it's all is it what your pop in there will stay safe and secure so you've got an exposed main zip on the. Front there right behind it you've got your storm flap so that's designed to keep the windchill affecting your core body temperature so that has the shield q technology as well embedded into it to keep you nice and warm on the inside it's pretty much a standard affair so.

We go even on the back there it's nice and high on the neck so it's going to protect your neck from all the elements and the so it's gonna stop any wind cold winds you're going into you know into the top part of the jacket it's not part of the jacket interfering with your core body temperature now have a guys this is a great jacket if you like anyone from let's just head over to simply hi code at uk or all the latest news and information in the hiking mode just head over to our social channels.

Adam here forget out their magazine today i am bringing you a comparative review of two down-filled jackets by mountain hardwear Over here we have the ghost whisperer down hooded jacket and on this side we have the stretch down rs hooded jacket let's break down what it's similar first. At first glance you think that these may be the same jacket both uses similar fabric the rs is slightly thicker fabric in the whisper but both are extremely thin and feel like they could rip easily. But let me tell you they're surprisingly durable after extensive use i have yet. To fiber rip and either of these jackets now each has a drawstring waist and each. Has similar down fill and provides. Similar warmth 750 down fill for the rs. And 800 for the whisper both have mountain hardwear's q shield down which is treated to be water repellent however both jackets soak throughout their two hours in a wet snowfall finally both. Have down-filled hoods which do not have draw strings, but they do stay on tight even in high winds and that's really where the similarities end the whisper has an active fit which is. Really tight to the body where the rs of the performance fit which is more room through the waist shoulders and arms for reference I'm five-eleven 185 pounds in both jackets are size medium the whisper. Is the world's lightest down hooded jacket well at least that's what the mountain hardwear website says so don't quote me on that but it is extremely light it only weighs in at 7.7 ounces. Where the rs is also very light but it's. Almost double the weight at fourteen point nine ounces to keep the weight down the whisper has a minimalistic design and only two zippered hand pockets while the rs has two zippered. Hand pockets a zippered chest pocket in the internal mesh pockets the cuffs are. Both very different drs has a traditional small outer elastic while the whisper has a unique design with the down fill all the way to the end of the sleeve and it has a hidden elastic inside the cuff to keep it in place surprisingly i found this was much better to keep the cuff in place during activity than the rs cuff a neat feature of the ghost whisperer is its ability to be stored away in its own pocket it folds up to the size of a large water bottle which makes it super convenient on days when the temperature or your activity level maven the rs is a version of mountain hardwear's new stretch down line and to. Be honest i didn't find there to be much stretch in this fabric however i did find it to be pretty comfortable at the end of the day i found the stretch down rs jacket to be great for leisure activities like walking the dog and hiking as well as general wear around town i also have had many compliments on. The style of this jacket on the other hand the ghost whisperer jacket has not had any compliments for the look and that may be due to the color but it is a way better choice for someone who's looking for a down-filled jacket to be active in i have found this also to be. Useful as a mid layer under a hard shell jacket because of its nugget let it sit from the outside these jackets are very similar however depending on your use they are quite distinct so hopefully this video helped clarify that for you know if you'd like more information on either of these two jackets or any other mountain hardwear products please visit their website listed in the description below You.

My name is margot I'm a certified guide and i work with outdoor research as a member of the i fm ga guide 50 I'm gonna show you some of my go-to soft shell pieces the fro c. Collection the fro c collection offers a hoodie a jacket pants and shorts women. Can wear a capri and men also have the option of hiking or climbing in a three-quarter length panel the froz collection is made of a single weave soft shell it's designed for high exertion sports book alpine climbing rock. Climbing back country skiing and hiking it offers great protection from the wind. And a really high level of breath ability. Spandex gives you great stretch for climbing and ease of movement ripstop nylon gives the material a lot of abrasion resistance and in addition the hoody also has cordura on the shoulders and on the arms this piece goes with me. Into the mountains for seasons of the year i wear it skin uphill on a cold February morning and i wear it on a baking hot glacier in the dead of august.

hi my name is charity and i work in product development at outdoor research and I'm here today to introduce you to the newest member of the froz collection the winner froz hoody the winner froz hoody is great because it has a stretchy durable fabric we know and love from the fro c collection combined with insulation and a brushed tricot lining for warmth and cuddliness it has a stand-up collar so you can keep. Your neck warm without putting your hood on it also has an adjustable hood for when you need to keep light rain or snow off your head it has two separate hand. Pockets an external zip chest pocket and an internal zip chest pocket for keeping your valuables safe it has elastic cuffs. And a draw cord hem so you don't have to mess with the cuffs and you can seal out. The cold at the hem what's great about the winter 4oc hoody is that it's super warm you can still wear it around town but it has all the same durability and stretch of our beloved afro c collection that's been around for years this is the fall 17 winter frosty hoodie from. Outdoor research

Auto research makes a very versatile. Collection of soft shell pieces called. Their fur oc collection and I'm wearing the frosty hoodie that is a piece of that collection this is a women's specific piece there's also a man's hoodie as well and i kind of think of. This piece is the jacket that you're going to get to do everything in it is. Soft shell and i just want you to see. That it is extremely thin there is no. Insulation to this whatsoever it's not even backed by fleece you've just got saying that the material they use on this piece is a combination of cordura spandex and nylon and there's a good amount of spandex in it so you're definitely getting some crazy stretch i. Mean to the point where i feel like you could just kind of do somersaults and cartwheels and not be inhibited by this sort of material at all so it's going to be fantastic for anybody who needs a lot of mobility maybe somebody who's doing. Some cross-country skiing and warmer weather somebody who's doing a lot of rock climbing and i think I'm just for general hiking and backpacking to be very comfortable piece to wear under a pack so some basic design features on. How the fro z was put together you can. See the two different colors here and that is kind of setup is. Two different types of fabric the body. Of this piece in the darker color across the back is extremely breathable so if. You're wearing a pack against this you're going to get a lot of moisture. Vapor passing through you're not going to have that same feeling you get under a hard shell where you're wearing a packer just sweating like crazy so you get some excellent breath ability this. Jacket is when resistant it is not windproof so you're going to get some air moving to it but if you're doing an aerobic activity that should be enough to keep your body temperature comfortable and cool especially on a day like today where it's a little chilly out and I've got an extra layer underneath this is kind of perfect piece to wear over top of that just a. Couple of run throughs on some of the general pockets and that sort of thing you do have a full fitted hood so it's. Designed to fit really close to the head i can get up just a cap underneath of it would probably fit under a helmet really well you've got adjustably on the. Sides here so it's a nice video hood you've got a little pocket here on the arm. Which is nice for stowing small things you know like a chopstick or a me the keys to your car and then you do have two zippered hand pockets here on the bottom. You.

All right so I'm a 35 waist and i have. On the 32 of the convertible gorilla cps. From outdoor research this is what they. Look like all right it was like impossible for me to buy these all right. So basically these pants can be purchased one size smaller than what you would normally wear if you wear a 36 you can get the 34 if you wear a 34 you can get the 32 they're stretchy pants and. The waistline is slightly stretchy i found that the waistline on the 36 in the thirty-fourth was very stretching and it had no belt or drawstring and if. You're going convertible adding the belt. Kind of adds unnecessary weight the whole idea is to keep your pants out of. Your pack by having pants that convert into shorts now obviously that's kind of. Nerdy but they call it a gear geek for a. Reason you know if your if when you put your pants in your pack the pack in. The pants add weight and bulk to your pack, and they also get wrecked if you. Keep your pants in your pack the whole entire summer you're carrying around something that adds bulk and weight to your pack and your pack is bigger and heavier than it should be and at the end. Of the summer when you go to get your pants they're wrecked they're full of mildew etc so the idea with convertible. Pants is that you're wearing shorts and you don't have your pants in your pack you know if you carried board shorts and kept your pants in your pack yeah board shorts are awesome but having your pants. And your pack is wrong when you have convertible pants you still are wearing. Your pants you have them on you and you can put your ankles from the convertible pants you know you can stow those with. Your poncho or something else that you don't usually use so when. You buy the pants a size smaller than normal like for instance these are a 32 instead of a 34 i don't need a belt so i. Got rid of the belt and also the side pocket which holds your cell phone that. Has a tendency to hit doorways and furniture as you walk past them because the pants are usually too baggy these pants are not baggy they're very straight legs and that prevents your iphone from hitting stuff as you walk by. Because you know like the little 4-inch iphone se it's probably the best phone to bring traveling but it's very fragile if it. Hits a doorway or a table as you walk by because it's in your cargo pocket it's. Broken more or less i mean it damages the phone and so having the hip pocket that cargo pocket close to the. Leg it prevents the phone from hitting. Stuff as you walk by which is a nice feature now i tried on the 36 furro c's. Which were more like a 40 waist 4 oc pants i tried on the 34 which were more. Like a 37 and i tried on the 30s which i. Couldn't they were too small i as well. Tried the 36 in the pro no stretch sian. Convertible pant which was like a very heavyweight a plastic form of denim it. Was like basically denim blue jeans that. Are very tougher for hunting and bushwhacking, but they were made out of plastic so that they dry quicker than cotton, and they were just too heavy. They're 15 ounces i also tried on the outdoor research convertible pants which. Were uncomfortable they don't stretch at all there are only four and a half ounces, so they're half the weight of the other guys but you lose a lot of comfort. With weight with the mountain sorry I'm. Not sure if i said alpha research or mountain hardwear the mountain hardwear mesa convertible pants they're half the. Weight of all the other convertible pants, but they're not comfortable so if. You were to go 36 if you were to get the. Mountain hardwear 36 mesa convertible. Pants in order to make them more comfortable because they don't stretch you would save a little bit of weight but the truth is that the outdoor research fer oc pants can be bought one. Size smaller so you can wear a 32 if you. Wear a 34 the 32 is actually out. Slightly lighter than the 34 so the. Amount of weight that you shave by using the mountain hardwear convertible pants. You can actually get that by going one size smaller with the furrow sees or something similar and I've been wearing the fro c's for a day or two they're very comfortable and very happy with them they're very form fit you know yeah. They kind of fit kind of like a pair of boxers i mean they're pretty tight pants, but they're very breathable and stretchy and comfortable, and they fit perfect, so they've got plenty of pockets they've got two zippered pockets on the back which is important they've got a zippered cargo pocket they've got two pockets on the front now if you go small with these convertibles you'll notice that the two front pockets are not really easy to get your hands into they're a little form fit it's a little bit tight but definitely usable I'm. Pretty happy with this i am also really interested in the Monticello convertible pants because they come with a belt you know they're only 11 ounces and you can. Pull the belt close so you can get that if the 34 is or the thirty-six's are slightly too big you can pull on that you can cinch the belt, and they come in. Cool colors but you know it's another eighty bucks to spend and I'm pretty happy with the frosty's that I've got. They're their correct color and so i don't know why i would buy another pair of convertible pants when i should be wearing these and just learning how to use the ones that I've got you know i think that these are gonna be my go to and i should just figured that figure. Out these 32 waist outdoor research 4 oc. Convertible pants.
