Lightweight Travel Hoodie

[ Employee of mountainhardwear] I 'm a big fan of the Ghost Whisperer, and I have been wearing them pretty much every day, in the winter, for the last 8 years. The new UL takes it to the next level. It's lighter but warmer, which is crazy! This is for sure one of MHW's unique and milestone garments, and a must have for anyone who likes being warm. There's definitely no excuse for not carrying it with you, it's tiny.

This jacket is a great improvement upon the previous Ghost Whisperer jacket in that it's lighter and warmer. I ca n't think of a better jacket to keep warm while minimizing weight in the mountains. I also end up wearing it in town as it's very comfortable. I think this is the only 1000 down fill power jacket available on the market today.

Working in Washington State as a climbing instructor, I am always on the lookout for the next great piece of gear. The Ghost Whisperer UL Hooded Down Jacket is an amazingly light piece of kit that goes un- noticed when in your pack, but is surprisingly warm for its featherweight lightness. The 1000- fill insulation is definitely top notch and a big step up from previously owned mid range puffy jackets. I brought this jacket on a 45 mile backpacking loop in the central cascades of Washington this fall where temps dipped below freezing and I was thoroughly impressed with the warmth to weight ratio of this jacket. However, with amazing lightness comes compromise. I was constantly worried about snagging the ultra thin ripstop shell fabric. The YKK 3 zippers were super light, but I wonder about the durability and longevity of repeatedly opening and closing pocket zips and taking the jacket on and off without having to using extreme caution. If you are looking to shave grams off of your pack weight, consider using the Ghost Whisperer UL Hooded Down Jacket to keep you warm on cool summer nights and shoulder season evenings. Just know that this jacket is a specialty piece, and not your everyday driver due to its lack of durability.

I work as a law enforcement ranger in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and I need to be able to depend on my gear to perform when lives are on the line. The Ghost Whisperer Ultralite just replaced my previous down jacket as the warm layer I will always have in my patrol backpack. If you ’ re passionate about having the right piece of gear( which I suspect you are if you ’ re reading reviews) then you ’ re probably familiar with the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer. However, Mountain Hardwear just upped the ante with this 1000- fill version. The Ghost Whisperer UL kept me warm when 18 inches of snow fell overnight during a recent camping trip, it ’s light enough for me to carry every day as an emergency warm layer while at work, and it ’s fashionable enough to wear around town or on chilly evening bike rides. The 1000- fill down makes this jacket weigh in at under 7 ounces, and it packs into its own pocket. It ’s dangerously easy to forget you put it in your backpack! This jacket truly has applications for countless outdoor activities. As with any ultralight piece of gear, durability will always come into question. If you don ’ t go running through any barbed wire fences, this jacket will hold up for years and years. I know I ’ ve always been amazing with how durable ripstop nylon is. Overall, if you ’ re looking for a new lightweight down jacket, this should be at the top of your list. The legendary Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer just got lighter, warmer, and more packable with this ultralight version.
