Ptarmigan 850 Ultra Down Jacket

An Outstanding Jacket!

I have been a huge fan of down jackets for a long time, I must say that the Ptarmigan 850 jacket is by far my favorite. This jacket compresses down very small and fits easily into a day pack for scouting. I recently took it up on trip scouting new ground in a wilderness area at about 12000 feet, this jacket kept me very warm in the early mornings and late evenings. I can hardly wait to use it in truly cold weather.

awesome puffy coat everything about it is amazing. this coat stacks up against any of the well known brands out there but best of all the warranty is amazing!!

I am relatively new to the Skre product line, having only used them for one hunting season so far. Up until now I was a diehard user if another big name brand, but Skre has changed that. The Ptarmigan jacket is very well built, extremely light weight, and has a streamlined fit that still allows for a base and mid-layer to be worn comfortably. I appreciate the way the down is isolated into squares in the outer shell, this keeps it from migrating/ bunching up over time. The hood really surprised me, in that it has a streamlined fit, a nice brim, and the ability to liok left and right without the hood blocking your view. I will be testing this jackect and additional Skree pieces from late August through September on our annual moose hunts here in Alaska. So far, I am very impressed…the bigger companies should take notice, there is a new high quality competitor on the field!
