Absolutely killer jacket. Bought it to use for teaching a backpacking class in the late fall in high mountains of Idaho where it can get pretty cold pretty quick. Used it in -10f weather with a baselayer underneath and shell on top and stayed toasty the whole time. Provides an honestly impressive amount of wind resistance even on the seams. A lot of people claim durability issues but I've used it climbing, backpacking, and bikepacking for about two years now and it's done amazingly. Well done Mountain Hardwear!

Worked Like A Charm On My Iceland Trip!
Great light puffy that is super effective! However, I do see tiny little down feathers leaking out after a weeks worth of use. Its negligible, but I do see it. Hopefully, it doesn't get any worse. No rough activities performed that might cause this.

Far Too Fragile
I've been doing section hikes of the AT over the last couple years and bought the Ghost Whisper 2 because it was so highly recommended. A month ago I decided to upgrade to the UL to save an ounce or so and gain some packability. I wore it a few times around the house and then noticed down feathers spilling out. I don't know how, but I had a 1" tear on the front in the middle of a baffle. Used some Tenacious tape to repair it and its holding. I wore it on a section hike last week with no issues, but I think the fabric is just too fragile, even for just around town or camp use. I wouldn't buy it again and would instead get another Ghost Whisperer 2. Its not worth the extra cost or reduced durability.
