Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer 2 Hooded Down Jacket

Whether facing dynamic weather on our multi-pitch ascent or backpacking abroad to unknown destinations, the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer 2 Hooded Down Jacket cuts weight, saves space, and keeps us warm and weatherproof. Weighing sub-eight-ounces, this jacket easily stuffs into its own pocket for compact carry. So we like to pack it up and clip the carabiner loop onto a harness or throw it in a purse for ultra-portability.

I am surprised how warm this very lightweight jacket is. Happy with the choice.

Fantastic Jacket

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I love this jacket as I run hot & it works beautifully when hiking. I'm 5'8" and 160lbs; bought the women's large and it's a perfect layering jacket. I can comfortably fit a tank, thin long-sleeved tee, and mid-weight sweater under it, when needed. And, the hood is large enough that I can fit a cap underneath. One note - when it's time to launder, the instructions are very clear that you must dry the jacket thoroughly, and that it may take multiple dryer cycles to do so. I have found it takes about 3 hours to dry thoroughly so that all the marvelous down spreads properly. If you use a laundromat, that could make a difference.

Color changes at seams

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

Great comfort and lightweight jacket but first time in the snow the color around the seams changed to green. Probably the color underneath mixing with the blue color? Now looks weathered and old after only a few months. Don't recommend a light color

Almost perfect

Beautiful but runs big. Sadly, XS is out of stock so I will be returning this. For reference, I'm 5'3 1/2" and about 120-125 lbs.

Perfect travel jacket

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I bought this to travel internationally- I wanted something really lightweight, that packs down small, but also is warm with a hood. This fits the bill perfectly, it keeps me warm in cool (but not frigid) weather and packs down to be barely bigger than a sunglasses case. Looks good on as well, I bought the black with red zippers which I was worried would look too gaudy but definitely doesn't.

Love these, size down

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

Like many others, I recommend sizing down. According to the size chart I should wear a medium. However, they were huge and the small are perfect. They will be replacing a pair of fleece pants I usually take for winter backpacking and on snowy hikes. I will be saving 4 oz and will be drier and just as warm. They seem reasonably durable too. The mediums were so big they tripped me and I fell on concrete. No sign or damage WHATSOEVER, in the pants.

Excellent Jacket

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

I bought this jacket to take backpacking/camping. I bought a small and I'm 5'3 and 127#. I'm a C cup in the chest and it's not too tight. I still have room to layer underneath but if I don't layer it;s not too big. I can wear a shirt and fleece under it and it would be just snug. This jacket with layering you could wear out at 30 degree weather. Without layers maybe about 40 degree would be fine. It's not a parka, but it's so light and fits into its own pocket for storage. Great for traveling or backpacking light. Stops wind as well, because the hood fits nice around your face. If you are walking or moving it keeps you super warm., I've even had to unzip it at 45 while walking. If standing in the cold wind for hours in the snow I would want a fleece layer under it. Overall it looks great, so light but keeps you warm despite how light it feels. I've used it at outdoor games, walking dogs, backpacking etc. You just can't beat the warmth vs weight ratio here. With a hat and neck fleece and gloves you could go out in 32 or less and be comfortable for several hours.

Best puffy ever

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

Bought this over a year ago, and I love everything about this jacket. the color is my absolute favorite, a deep jade, so its easy to reach for, it is so light weight i forget its on my body, except that I am toasty warm. the sleeves are long enough for me to tuck my hands in if I want to. I have tons of room to layer underneath and can throw my ski shell over the top. I bought a medium, and its perfect for my athletic lifestyle needs, I imagine the size small wold fit more like the model photos, which looks too tight for my taste. For reference I bought the same jacket, also size medium for my mom, who is 75 years old, 5'2"ish and more apple shaped...it looks amazing on her, but totally different. hits at her thigh, completely covering her bum, and is more fitted throughout. the sleeves are super long on her, but being as light as they are, she just scrunches them up and its not noticeable.
