Poor cut, very tight in chest
The cut is poor. It is so tight around the chest it squeezes the loft out. That's not acceptable for me. See the picture of the model. Notice how the fabric around his chest has no wrinkles but the other fabric has plenty of them. Unless the wearer has a very skinny chest, this one doesn't fit correctly, so for me, not recommended

So light so cozy
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The Jacket has only been out into the woods once, but I ended up pretty whiskey drunk, popped up a hammock and fell asleep in this thing. I swore I was in a cozy sleeping bag all night. The bourbon may have increased the R value of the puffer who knows, it’s not an exact science after all. You need some version of this in the kit so get this or something similar and get out there…

Kind of wimpy for a down coat!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I’m not particularly impressed with the thickness of this jacket and I almost returned it. It’s paper thin. I bought it at a meaningful discount so decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of returning but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Does not hold up
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Material is light but it will rip on anything. Had mine for about a year, so far around 10 holes in the fabric.

Problem Solved!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Got the 800 pants for walking my dogs... already reviewed them. My dear wife picked up the 800 jacket for me this week (20Nov2023). When your core is warm it helps your extremities... just did a fatbike ride in 25 degrees just now... I felt like 70. Looking forward to 0°. Buy, wear and use this gear and you will know how geese do it! So lite yet insanely warm. One of those purchases you never think twice about.

Awesome but not as warm as advertised
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I love the fit and the weight of this jacket but it's not as warm as advertised? I was freezing hiking at 40°ish degrees and had wool on underneath. I feel for the price, there is a warmer jacket at with an unnoticeable weight difference.

Fantastic jacket...if it fits
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
I wanted to keep this jacket so badly but it just didn't work for my body. I'm 6' 0", 155 pounds with a 39" chest and I ordered a Medium. The Ghost Whisperer is an odd mix of slim fit/boxy fit, and for me the cut was the exact opposite of what I needed. The medium was tight across my chest and armpits (wearing just a t-shirt) and slightly loose through the body. I would have been fine with the body dimensions but the chest/armpits were just too constricting.
