Hi All,
Looking for advice on ESS Nano Primaloft jacket https://earthseasky.co.nz/product/nano-primaloft-jacket/
Setting aside price for the minute, whilst still loving that its Made in New Zealand
Looking around, it has significantly more fill that the competition (Mont Moondog is 100g in chest 60g in arms) Arcteryx Atom AR (other than being out of stock) doesn't list it but looking at the total weights must be around 60-100g insulation, Patagonia Nano Puff and Rab Xenon are in similar "not that warm" (based on total weights) catagory.
Most Synthetic offerings seems to be lighter - especially when that company makes a competitive down jacket in the "seriously warm" category. In My opinion a warm synthetic is a much better option in wet and cold Aussie conditions (TAS, NSW, VIC). This would be used in both active and end of day situations - layering with a rain jacket and thermals/shirt for Snow shoeing, Back country ski touring, Potentially resort skiing, cold weather bush walking.
Has anyone used one?
Thoughts on how the Entrant outer fabric stacks up when pack carrying?
Other advise or options?
