Does anyone know if Feathered freinds still makes any non-down products like the epic Jackorack? That stuff looks pretty good, and I may consider buying one but I don't even know the price. If anyone bought one, how much was it?
Thanks
Jon

It's not on their website, and the last time I was there I didn't see any.
I own one of the first Epic Jackoracks made by FF and although it's a bit heavy (11.7 oz in size XL), it's still one of my favorite shells, especially for winter use. The Epic fabric, the huge pockets, the pit zips, and the generous hood make it something of a unique piece in today's market.
I'd suggest you call their customer service department (206-292-6292) and ask them about continuing production. I think they still mostly build to order, so they may be able to whip one up for you even if the design has been officially retired.
Jonathan,
If you want a Jackorak, originally an XL but sleeves shortened slightly, velcro cuff closure added and a waterproof main zip installed to replace the original—-all for a total weight of under 10 oz.
PM me.
cheers
KD
