Tarn Down Jacket - Men’s

Tarn gets the job done on JMT

Just wrapped JMT NoBo from Horseshoe Meadow to Happy Isles with Whitney and other side trips. The Tarn was the perfect insulation layer for this trek! Light weight, durable, warm, versatile across a range of elevations, and dry after four days of thunderstorms. Love this jacket and highly recommend for long grinds like the JMT.

Just Right

I felt compelled to share a review for this. First, it's super warm and exactly what I want for when it's too chilly for just a vest and alpha fleece. Second, the fit is great for me and definitely not too light like older versions apparently suffered from. Third, I think the length is ideal. Fourth, the color is super nice in person (renders ever so slightly different on my screen) as is the texture of the material. I wouldn't hesitate to wear this in town with denim.

Great Jacket!

Too be honest I bought this jacket after I had already bought the Patagonia Hooded Sweater Jacket during REI’s big sale. It’s a great jacket, though wicked expensive. I got an email from Katabatic and they were having a sale on their jackets. I bought one. Comparing the two side by side they are very similar in fit and puffiness. The Patagonia has a much shinier appearance. The Tarn is this beautiful matte finish. Both black. I tried them both on 20 times. Nearly identical. Sent the Patagonia jacket back and saved a boat load of money.
