Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Warmth
Estimate from maker's specs: fill type and jacket weight (no fill figures published) 5/10How warm it keeps you standing still at camp. 5: Does the job. Average for wild-camping gear.
Estimate from maker's specs. Two independent reviews exist but a judgement score needs three. Outdoors Magic found it comfortable down to about 5 C with wind chill over a base layer and not for the depths of winter. Climbing Gear Reviews found the 700 fill suited cooler autumn days. Neither gives a fill weight.
Weight
From maker's figures 6/10How much it adds to your pack. 6: A bit better than average.
Jack Wolfskin lists 0.49 kg (490 g), in the 450-599 g band. Its page gives no size, so this may not be the men's M weight. Alpinetrek lists 369 g and Berger Camping 415 g for size M (shop figures, not used); we band the brand's figure.
In short
Good for
- Cool-weather walking and camp evenings as a mid-weight down layer under or over a shell (Jack Wolfskin lists it for hiking)
- Wearing around town as well as in the hills
Strengths
- 700 fill down with ExpeDry hydrophobic treatment: Jack Wolfskin says it performs in damp conditions, but publishes no test of this
- 90% duck down and 10% feather, RDS certified
- Pertex Quantum shell, which Jack Wolfskin describes as windproof, down proof and water resistant
- Adjustable hood and hem, elasticated cuffs and water-resistant zips
- Chest, hip and stow-away pockets (six in all on Jack Wolfskin's list)
Weaknesses
- 490 g with no size given, in the 450-599 g band, so heavier than most light belay jackets
- Warmth, packed size, damp performance and durability aren't scored: only two independent reviews of this jacket (Outdoors Magic, Climbing Gear Reviews; a third is needed), and no packed size published
- No fill weight, fill power test method or fabric denier published
- Weights vary: 490 g on Jack Wolfskin's page, 415 g and 369 g at shops for size M, and 380 g on Climbing Gear Reviews' scales (size not stated); the subtitle on Jack Wolfskin's men's page says women's, so check the size and version before buying
