Would love to know if the jacket is comparable to the Grumman, SD Pro, or other backpacking branded premium jackets like Cerium/Thorium, Down Hoody, etc.
I would agree with this .I have the KINGS CAMO XKG DOWN HOODED TRANSITION JACKET 800 FILL. If this is the jacket you're referring to, it's a really nice jacket. It's very light and "puffy" and does a great job of keeping the warm in and cold out. I wore it a few days ago in a biting wind and was surprised at how effective it was at completely blocking any penetration. No wind got thru to my skin (wearing a short sleeve T-shirt) and I didn't feel any change in warmth between wind gusts. The outer shell is very thin nylon so I doubt it'll hold up to any abuse; but this is probably true of all packable puffy's.
I believe that King's XKG line of clothing provides an incredible amount of value. IMO the XKG line competes with the top brands in quality, but without the premium price.
Maybe a better way to frame a question would be - if you had to speed walk through a narrow animal trail within a large berry or thorn bush and then use the jacket for another year or two would you rather be wearing the XKG or SG? Why do I feel nervous the SG is going to tear? I feel the same way when wearing the Patagonia hoody Also
How much did you snag it for? I went to buy one on clearance somewhere else and went back tonight and it was gone. Just curious what I can expect to get one for on Camo Fire if they go back on. Thanks.The Kings jacket is on camofire again today. That's where I grabbed mine from. Pretty good deal imo.
It was $214.99 when I got it. I saw it was $199.99 the other day. That's a great deal imo.How much did you snag it for? I went to buy one on clearance somewhere else and went back tonight and it was gone. Just curious what I can expect to get one for on Camo Fire if they go back on. Thanks.
