I ordered an Eddie Bauer Macrotherm Hooded Down Jacket last night, for $183 - $20 for signing up for texts/emails. You can get an additional $30-$40 off if you buy a gift card first (20% off up to a $40 discount on $200 gift card). So conservatively I think that makes the final price before tax something like $133?

This jacket weighs 11.2oz in Medium and has allegedly 1020 fill power down. The only previous reddit post about this jacket reported hearing from EB that it's 10D fabric and that the medium contains 4.4oz of fill.

Unless I'm really missing something, this deal blows several typically best-in-category jackets out of the water - it's basically a Rab Mythic G but 1oz heavier, $360 cheaper?

I've been having to talk myself out of buying extras to have as spares, please make the L and XL go out of stock to save me some money. Or tell me what I'm missing and why this isn't actually all that great.

I just picked up a Montbell Mirage on geartrade, and I know that'll be significantly warmer due to the box baffles (though 2oz heavier), same story with the Katabatic Tincup, which seems to have fit issues. The Montbell Plasma Parka is 2oz lighter and 23% colder and $390 on eBay now that JP pricing is over.

I'm rambling but I decided to get one more L. Maybe I'll cut the hood or sleeves off. For this price I feel like you have to buy 2.

For reference I am not being paid by Eddie Bauer I'm just 10 days into obsessive puffer research and shopping. To illustrate my plight, I also ordered this La Sportiva 25oz parka with 14oz of 1000fp fill despite having no plans to climb any 8000m mountains anytime soon. How was I supposed to resist 57% fill percentage on sale for less than a new Mythic Ultra on Expert Voice?

Anyway, let me know what you all think, I will report back with a proper review when I receive mine.
