Stone glacier has launched their technical apparel this year specifically designed for the back-country hunter and the Grumman goose down jacket is defiantly the favorite around the 1 Shot office.
When you first pick up the Grumman Jacket the first thing you will notice is that this thing is light, like crazy light. Weighing in at only 11.8 oz this jacket feels like when you drop it that it should float to the floor like a feather. The Pertex® Quantum shell feels paper thin and coupled with how light it is made me question the durability of the jacket. But let me tell you that I have worn this jacket every day skiing, snow shoeing, ice fishing and as my everyday jacket for the past three months and this jacket took it all in stride. The jackets Pertex® Quantum shell and HyperDRY™ 850+ Fill Power DWR treated down has made this jacket the warmest down jacket that I have ever owned. I still would take it off before pushing think timber and put it way in its stuff sack that comes with it. The stuff sack it made from the same Shell as the jacket and with jacket inside is an 8 by 4 by 4inch square that can easily fit in your pack. This jacket has everything you can expect from a Stone Glacier product and it has defiantly proven itself enough to give it a permanent place in my back-country pack.
