TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Crux halo jacket

Postby Kontek » Sun 12 May, 2013 12:50 am

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone's used the crux halo jacket.

I'm tossing up between the rab ultralight or the crux.

I know the rabs cheaper and stronger material which is a plus but overall performance I'm interested in.

Thanks in advance

i originally had this in techno babble but reposted here, I couldn't figure out how to move it :-)

Any ideas on how to delete a thread ?

I just bought a Crux Halo jacket as a warmer jacket for winter compared to my MontBell XL. It looks well made and seems to fit my requirements. Unfortunately, it is just a fraction small so I need to move it on - I always seem to be between Medium and Large. It is a Medium in Blue - weighs 290g on my scales. PM me if you are interested.

Considered the Feathered Friends Hooded Daybreak jkt as an alternative?
Love mine...I often fall b/w a medium and large so got this one in large and its perfect;
ie. best to go up one size in this one.
