For the weight, it's very warm. My go-to coat for changing conditions or cool temps. I got this instead of the ghost whisperer for a couple reasons. First, it was lighter yet the fabric felt more durable. Secondly, it's slightly more form fitting - less boxy. Compresses down to a very small size and you can use the pocket and the storage pouch. Pricey but I think I'll get the use out of it.

Zippers eat 7D fabric like tissue paper, leaving holes and traumatic feather loss
The 7D fabric is not much stronger than tissue paper. The zipper for the stuff pocket is poorly designed and will consistently suck in the fabric, rip a dime-sized hole, and spit out down feathers. Durability and usability gets a zero from me. I owned a prior Ghost Whisperer (10D, not UL) and had no such issues. Avoid this design.

Great all around warmth and crazy light
I bring this rock climbing in the alpine and on big walls where I need something small and light to clip to the harness incase it gets cold. It's so light that it hardly feels like I'm wearing anything when I put it on. I think it's a great warmth for anything from 50-20 degrees. I had no issues with the zipper ripping it for about 6 months until I tried to pack it into itself on an early morning an the alpine and kept catching the fabric in the zipper so someone else said "let me do it," and forced it and made a little tear in the sleeve. I patched it and now it looks legit.
When I was looking at reviews of this I was concerned it would be incredibly fragile, which it isn't. Just give it one extra second of thought when you're zipping up and it won't explode with feathers.

Favorite Ultralight Puffy
I love this jacket! It is my favorite puffy for hiking, backpacking and thru-hiking. It fits well and lasts a long time!

Great COLD weather puffy and SO light
I bought this jacket last winter and it surpassed all my expectations. The weight is crazy light, it packs into its own pocket and is incredibly warm. As with any UL down jacket it is prone to tears but just slap some gear tape on there and its good to go. I used this for ski touring all winter and it worked great. Definitely a COLD weather jacket.

Always in my bag!
I've had one of these since 2017 and it has been one of my favorite pieces of kit. I paid full price at the time and feel like I more than got my money's worth. First of all, this packs down to nothing, there has never been an excuse not to have it with me. I even stuff it in my bag when I'm adventuring in the summertime in case some stroke of bad luck finds me hypothermic somewhere lol. Next, this is a seriously warm layer. Not just for the weight, which is even more impressive, but it's simply great at what it does, keeping you insulated. As with other technical pieces of clothing, it's meant to work as a system with other layers for seriously cold adventures that get sub zero, but it does a great job keeping you toasty by itself in milder conditions. Lastly, for something this ultra light, it's held up to years of abuse exceptionally well. I'm only just now looking to replace it almost ten years later. One has to be cautious around sharp rocks and brambles, but if you exercise a little situational awareness, this jacket will last you quite a while.

Great for layering
Super light, but warm. Good in it own, but very good as a layer underneath a shell.
