Use coupon code BHGNOV for an extra 20% off plus free shipping. Stacks with current down sale prices – I'm pretty sure the down sale ends today, not sure about the coupon. With coupon the Downlight vest is $71 before tax, Downlight sweater is $111 before tax.

Got the wife a FA down vest and sweater.
Cheers!
Oct 27, 2011 at 10:47 am #1795613At what website?
ok found it http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/First-Ascent/index.cat
Oct 27, 2011 at 10:54 am #1795618I just used it on top of the down sale. What a steal. THANKS!! Even though you just cost me money;->
Oct 27, 2011 at 11:20 am #1795626I just ordered a tall vest…Thanks for the notice!
Oct 27, 2011 at 2:18 pm #1795683Thanks — I've been looking for a while for a vest for my wife, and this is perfect. Now the hard part will be hiding it until Christmas.
Total was just under $75 shipped to the door.Oct 27, 2011 at 7:10 pm #1795778thanks! picked one up for my bro for the holidays!
Oct 30, 2011 at 12:52 pm #1796682Thanks. Got the downlight sweater for my son for $111. Now I can sleep in on Black Friday and only lose $5 on the deal.
Nov 2, 2011 at 10:21 am #1797798Even with the extra 20% off the Cabela's is $40 cheaper. Just looking for a layering piece and wondering if there is a big difference.
Thoughts?
Nov 2, 2011 at 10:47 am #1797809I recently purchased the Cabela's Superlight 750 Down Jacket, size medium regular, color green on sale for $54.99, regular $130.
On my scale, the jacket weighs 18.4 oz. and, according to customer service, the jacket contains about ~6.5 ounces of down.
So far I like the jacket. The color is lovely, the fit is decent, the material is durable enough that I can wear it around town and in the woods, and it will keep me warm during the winter. I only wish it was equipped with a hood and less pockets. But for the price, versatility, and warmth… it works for me =)
Nov 3, 2011 at 9:39 am #1798201Not to derail the thread – but how did that jacket fit?
What size did you get that you measured it at 18.5 oz? Cabellas customer service said they are 21oz.
I seem to be in between a small and medium on their chart. There is no local store and online returns are such a hassle.
Nov 3, 2011 at 11:13 am #1798228Eric, my men's size medium regular weighs 18.4 oz. My chest measurement is about 39 inches.
Overall, I am OK with the way the jacket fits me. I can wear a base-layer and full-zip hooded fleece underneath it without feeling like a stuffed sausage.
My recommendations for improving the jacket:
1.) make the arms an inch longer
2.) add an optional hood
3.) narrow the width a little
4.) remove some pockets
5.) narrower wrist cuffsBut, like I said, for the price, versatility, and warmth, I am happy with it. Obviously, the amount of clothing you plan on wearing underneath your jacket will help determine whether to choose a small or medium. When in doubt, you could order both sizes and return the one you don't want. Ask Cabela's if they will pay for return shipping.
Nov 4, 2011 at 7:35 am #1798488Decided to go with the Sierra Designs Gnar Down Jacket. Picked it up at STP for $72 with a 40% off coupon they sent. Website stated it weighs 14 ounces.
Nov 4, 2011 at 7:07 pm #1798687Enjoy that jacket, its loaded with features for such a light jacket. I love it!
Nov 8, 2011 at 1:09 pm #1799807Hey Justin,
is that 40% off coupon at STP available to anyone else?
Looking to pickup a couple of same jacket…thanks,Long
Nov 9, 2011 at 12:14 pm #1800118They are for anyone. You just need to sign up for their Deal Flyer emails. Or you may be able to access the deal through this link (no benefit to me): http://email.sierratradingpost.com/dm?id=7AF16634609081C6CFC6330FCD64FCD9
Looks like they have a deal on it for $80 plus $2.95 shipping.
I just got mine yesterday… warm!
Nov 9, 2011 at 12:15 pm #1800119Forgot to mention that deal expires today 11/9
