This is a new jacket from Argali, the Ion Puffy. I plan on getting a review up as soon as I have enough time with the piece, which is going to be done the road a bit as we're in a middle of 20 °+ above average heat wave.
It's a lightweight, hooded puffy that I think could be utilized as both a moving piece in colder weather and/or a light traditional puffy during static duties. It's full zip with two zippered slash pockets and a zippered chest pocket.
It utilizes 60 g/m2 Primaloft Gold—a light, but warm insulation. The face fabric is a nylon Pertex that is designed to be highly breathable (while still offering some weather protection).
One thing that stands out immediately is this fabric has a very nice hand—very soft and quiet, not typically very easy w/ nylon.
I was sent a size Large (my normal size) and the fit is not overly athletic, but not baggy—what I would call regular fit. It fits my 5' 11"/185 lb frame nicely.
The color is Mud, what I would describe as a dark sage. Should blend nicely for hunting.
Weight is 16 oz and is able to be packed small.
