Exactly what day and time does this drop end?? I'd like to get in on it but gotta make sure I've got the $$ laying around... Need to know if I have to transfer before then... Thanks

And as stepbystep said the times I've had this happen were not a limited quantity thing... Atleast not to my knowledge... You guys are usually pretty good about making that clear....

I can get this elsewhere for $20 less, and price is not dependent on multiple purchasers.
Why would I choose Massdrop?

NoReason24An 8-week delay on deals won't help your situation. It was most likely on the direct OR website. They have marked down gear on there all the time.

Anyone who has this jacket have an opinion on fill loft? Looking at the pictures I'm not impressed, to be honest. I have an Eddie Bauer First Ascent sweater and the loft is much greater than this.

SantiagoDracoHard to go by photos sometimes since you don't know how it was packed/shipped and how long it's been sitting out to normalize and plump up (shaking and fluffing only do so much...still needs some time to acclimatize, so to speak). It uses 3.5oz of down, but it's 650 power so it's not going to be quite as poofy. It's got decent warmth. 650 has some advantages over higher fill powers sometimes, too, because it's a little more resistant to compression. This jacket also uses a heavier taffeta fabric for the lining (40d I think) and that comes into play as well (warmth retention, durability, and another ounce or so of weight). Warmthwise it's kind of like a heavier less expensive version of the more expensive ultralight pieces like the Ghost Whisperer, etc, etc. Probably will not want to wear it while moving until it's below freezing and at rest it should be comfy to around freezing depending on your layers.

SantiagoDracoI've owned a four-year old hoodless version of this jacket, and it's just now wearing out. I've been using it in deep cold, in the outdoors, and while doing wilderness backpacking in below-freezing temperatures. Assuming the design hasn't changed, and it doesn't appear to have, I can comment on the loft and warmth.
I like the jacket a lot, but yes, it isn't the 'loftiest' down jacket out there. I think this is a good thing, if you use it appropriately. This jacket has provided me more warmth but less breathability than a patagonia nano-puff, and more breathability but less warmth than the Sierra Designs puffy I use for the coldest temperatures. This is a mid-weight puffy, and of course you can find puffies in a bunch of different weights for different purposes. I don't think you'd be well served by simply buying the jacket with the most loft you can find...
If you can describe how you hope to use the jacket I'm sure folks can help say if this is a good choice, but all I can say is that I've enjoyed using this jacket while snowshoeing, backpacking and being outdoors during the daytime at temps below 20deg. I'll also throw this jacket on when the sun sets while I'm backpacking with daytime highs around 30-35deg. I've sometimes brought this jacket for sleeping or insurance when nighttime temps get down to 35-40deg. Again, assuming no major changes, this jacket has served those purposes nicely. It is breaking down a little faster than I'd hoped, but overall I think I've gotten good value for my purchase. Of course, all IMO, FWIW, and accept this feedback at your discretion! ;o) (edit: oh, and hopefully this goes without saying, but all the uses I described above were as part of a layering system... So I don't mean I wore the jacket and was otherwise naked...)

I'd be interested if there was a jacket made with primaloft or some other non-down insulation. Aside from allergy to down, I'm also not really into being warm at the expense of some goose or duck having it's feathers torn from it's skin.

ccchansI have both, and yes. But so far wearing tshirt under the sweater and the beanie I've been comfortable at 35º (the coldest it's been here). I'll get more tests this weekend with cold and light snow it looks like.
EDIT/Update - very little snow, but down as low as 18-20º. Stayed warm for short periods of inactivity with just tshirt, and extended periods with Terramar Thermawool shirt and jacket. On the move I think I'd have been fine with the short sleeve shirt. Other than sleeve length, I'm extremely happy with this jacket.

Really want in on this drop, but want the Evergreen or Pewter color in the Sweater, non hoody. Any chance of these colors being added to the drop?

I literally just bought the Transcendent Down Sweater and Beanie a week ago on Amazon. They're both fantastic pieces of gear that I love wearing, but there are two things I would caution - the sleeves are slightly baggy in the shoulder, and longer than I'd expect, and although the OR website indicates the fabric is water resistant, Amazon indicates it's not. As a result I really don't know (like maybe I got an old model from Amazon??) Neither of these is a deal breaker for me, but are worth noting.
On a related note - does anyone have any experience with Nikwax Down Proof? I was debating washing the sweater in this to add a bit of protection, but I don't want to ruin a good piece of gear trying to make it slightly better.

alfredo99I will never ever ever come close to buying or using that Nikwax product again. Not a big fan of most Nikwax products to begin with but the soaps and even the Polar Proof are ok. Would not recommend trying the Down Proof on good down, and 650 is still fairly decent. On a lower quality fill power down it might not be so bad because those have more resilience and most often have more feather/quill content to help. Keep in mind that stitching is always going to be your achilles' heel, but if you want to use something for a little more moisture resistance, pick a good fabric waterproofer like the ones from Atsko or Grangers. They both have one that works pretty well and doesn't inhibit breathability. Still going to need to use a shell if there is anything more than snow or heavy mist.

I've heard it can create spots on the jacket, or the down will clump even with tennis balls in the dryer. I did a small test by putting water on the sweater, and it beaded off pretty well, so I think the fabric at least has a small amount of protection anyway. I'll probably just leave it be, or possibly go with the fabric spray if it comes to it. At some point the jacket will have to be washed and I'll hope for the best then.

I have this sweater, good down to about 25F with just a t-shirt under it. Has a large interior pocket good for a water bottle. Would buy it again, haven't worn it in wet weather so I can't comment on waterproof/resistant.
