"I have been a huge fan of down jackets for a long time, I must say that the Ptarmigan 850 jacket is by far my favorite. This jacket compresses down very small and fits easily into a day pack for scouting. I recently took it up on trip scouting new ground in a wilderness area at about 12000 feet, this jacket kept me very warm in the early mornings and late evenings. I can hardly wait to use it in truly cold weather."
"I am relatively new to the Skre product line, having only used them for one hunting season so far. Up until now I was a diehard user if another big name brand, but Skre has changed that. The Ptarmigan jacket is very well built, extremely light weight, and has a streamlined fit that still allows for a base and mid-layer to be worn comfortably. I appreciate the way the down is isolated into squares in the outer shell, this keeps it from migrating/ bunching up over time. The hood really surprised me, in that it has a streamlined fit, a nice brim, and the ability to liok left and right without the hood blocking your view. I will be testing this jackect and additional Skree pieces from late August through September on our annual moose hunts here in Alaska. So far, I am very impressed…the bigger companies should take notice, there is a new high quality competitor on the field!"
"Sizing was true to Sizing Chart. Like the Ash Brown colour. Could easily be used as street wear. As always the quality of the garment is top drawer. Can’t wait to test it in the cold weather."
"I have not used the gear yet but my first impression is that it is great quality and design. I am hopeful that that they keep me warm as well as they look and feel. I will add an update after use."
"Just received my Ptarmigan 850 Ultra down jacket, fit was excellent, very comfortable service was exceptional. Waiting for hunting season to try it out."
"Great fit, great color. 5'9" 190 a Large fits perfect. Can't wait for the cold weather."
"I just received this and so I have not gotten to try it yet, however I love the fit, the camo and the quality of the jacket. I’m 5’11, 185lbs and the large fits great"
"Good but not as lofty as my Taiga Downlite. I was going to return but the lack of loft fits better under my shell (Sitka Jetstream) so the Taiga compresses to the same density under a shell. FYI, the Ptarmagan is Large and the shell is XL. The image shows the Taiga on the left and Skre on the right."
"Light weight and packable. Very warm and comfortable. great as a jacket on its own or as part of a layering system."
"The jacket is perfect and comfortable 👌"
