Anyone own this that has an opinion on it? Can anyone compare it to the Ghost Whisperer or LL Bean Down Jacket? This seems like a great deal, as long as it can compete with the others.
planb10113I've got the Quasar (sans Nova aka sewn-through instead of baffled) and love it... I use it as my winter "extra layer" either around camp or in the hammock if needed. I paid slightly more than this for the older Quasar and don't have any regrets.
Edit: I use a Marmot Featherless Hoody that I prefer for more active wear, the Quasar only comes out when at rest/sleep.

planb10113I have both MHW Ghost Whisperer and Marmot Quasar. They are both 800 Fill down but I would take the Marmot Quasar hands down 7 days a week. For me it comes down to the zippers. The Ghost uses a #3 zipper that just wants to tear out. The Marmot uses a #5 zipper that has never had a problem. The Marmot Quasar also has a chest pocket which I have found to be useful.
