Performance Indicators*
Warmth
5/5
Several factors influence a jacket's warmth. Loft, or 'Fill Power,' measures down quality, while fill weight refers to the amount of down in grams. The type of down used also plays a key role. Our warmth ratings consider all three factors.
Packability
1/5
A garment's packability depends on several factors, including fabric weight, fill, and construction. We assess packability based on these elements and whether the garment can be packed into an internal pocket. Some Macpac items compress smaller than others.
Weight
4/5
Factors such as fabric weight, fill weight, and construction influence how light or heavy a garment feels. Our weight ratings consider all these elements. Some Macpac jackets are designed for lightweight performance, while others prioritize warmth over weight for colder conditions.

Product Description
The Sundowner is our technical go-to for strategic warmth in cold, damp conditions.
It combines ALLIED Feather + Down HyperDRY duck down with a recycled Pertex® Quantum nylon outer fabric for thermal efficiency in varied environments.
As well as being recycled and bluesign® approved, Pertex® Quantum is ultralight and soft to the touch with a DWR finish for improved moisture repellency — helping to keep the moisture on the outside and the warmth on the inside — and this vest also packs into its internal pocket.
Perfect for chilly weather and cold adventures.
The main and lining fabrics are bluesign® approved, which means they were manufactured with the responsible use of resources. This product contains RDS down certified by CU 1210688. The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) (independently) certifies down and feathers against animal welfare requirements and tracks it from farm to final product.
All Macpac down is independently certified to the RDS.We are transitioning the finish on this style to be PFC-free. You can identify if your garment has a PFC-free finish by the swing tag on the garment. To learn more about how to care for your PFC-free wet weather gear check out our blog post. -

Why I chose this:
Quality outdoor gear, made responsibly, trusted to last in any environment.
Picked this one for my husband as he likes to wear hoodies a lot so thought it would be easier for him to wear his hoodies with a puffer vest to make him warm
