May 17, 2012 at 1:20 pm #1878708My small comes in at 6.8oz, for reference.
May 17, 2012 at 1:30 pm #1878711I picked one up a while ago at a similar price. My large weighs 7.75oz. Nice fitting hood, elastic cuffs, will be great this summer!
May 17, 2012 at 2:23 pm #1878731Nice find. Also, no love for the pullover version? It's almost the same as the anorak, just minus hood, so a bit less weight/warmth and a lower price – $63.60:
I have the pullover in a medium, and it weighs 194g (6.84oz). With either model there is opportunity to shave a few extra grams off – you could remove part of the cuffs (they are rather long) and swap out the hem adjustment cord for something lighter.
I had almost bought the hooded version instead of the pullover, but I wasn't sure about how the hood performs in use. For those who own the anorak, how well does the hood work?
May 17, 2012 at 2:25 pm #1878732I had their vest, and sold it because I wanted some warmth on my arms as well.
I'm really considering picking this up, even though that color is blinding…thanks for the heads up
Edit: My graze colored stoic pullover arrives on Monday. I read that the "graze" color is nowhere near as bright as the pictures show. more of an evergreen supposedly, I'll photograph it when i get it.
I went with the un-hooded for 10 bucks less and threw in a Merino beanie to replace my old fleece…I was a little worried about the non adjusting hood, and figured I'd rarely use it anyhow.
Should be a great deal. 2 oz of 850 fill down will make it plenty warm enough for me.
May 26, 2012 at 6:40 am #1881291I just got mine. It seems really nice for crazy light down jacket. $70 was a total steal.
May 26, 2012 at 7:37 am #1881295Hi Royal,
What colour did you get? also is the fill even?
Cheers,
Stephen
May 26, 2012 at 9:14 am #1881315I got the nasty green color. The color is much nicer in person. The fill seems to be even. I haven't been over it with a fine toothed comb, but I'm impressed with the seeming quality. I'm certainly not complaining for $70! And it's light, probably 8 oz or less.
May 26, 2012 at 10:12 am #188132570 bucks is great bargain, I am half thinking of getting one but cannot decide on which colour, I know it's a bit lame :-)
May 26, 2012 at 10:19 am #1881326I picked up the pullover a couple weeks ago and am very happy with it so far. Great piece of gear for $63 and some change!
May 26, 2012 at 2:23 pm #1881368I see the price $118, its not $70 anymore.
May 27, 2012 at 10:10 am #1881484You can still buy it on their dept of goods site last I checked.
May 27, 2012 at 10:21 am #1881487What is dept o goods site? please explain
May 27, 2012 at 10:26 am #1881489It's their outlet site , look at the top of the home page and click on outlet

May 27, 2012 at 12:00 pm #1881508Just ordered a Hadron hoody for 70.95 in Vintage from Department of goods, I am hoping it's not too ghastly :-)
Jun 1, 2012 at 6:44 pm #1883139How do the sizes run? I am between a L and a XL, so does it run big or small? Thanks!
Jun 2, 2012 at 9:35 am #1883269Smallish. Think montbell like sizing
