  10,000mm waterproofing is suited for light snow/light rain/drizzle. If it's actually raining or you spend a lot of time sitting on the jacket (bum area), then it's going soak in.

  I've worked on ski resorts the world over for over 10 years. If you want a jacket you can wear when it's actually snowing/raining, then get a 15,000mm minimum. This would be okay somewhere like Japan or interior BC where the snow is drier, but not great in NZ except for fine days.

    Why is much lower in a tent? For example a 5000mm waterproof tent is considered quite water proof?

      Tents are free standing and rain just runs off it so there's virtually no pressure for the water to come in. You'll likely be familiar with the concept of water getting into a tent when you touch the outer fly? That's kind of an issue with jackets which are sitting on your body and being touched/moved all day.
      The ratings refer to how much water pressure is needed to get through the fabric. So they use a water column on top of the fabric and the rating is how ever much pressure/weight is required for water to get through.

      Jackets at 10,000mm waterproofing and below are often not fully seam sealed, so water can more easily seep in through stitching lines too - again, this doesn't matter for tents as it just runs down the fly, however, most tents are fully seam sealed anyway.
      Tents also don't really do anything except just be tents. Jackets are subject to our greasy hands, maybe some food or drink spilt on them etc. They get way more use than a tent fly does, and that breaks down the waterproofing applications and the fabric itself - its why you'll always find the cuffs of your rainjacket seem to soak through before any other part.

      I think there's lots of other technical ways to answer the question, but these are probably the most simple ways to understand it, hope that helps!

  Funny how you said "cheapest ever" when you've posted a deal for this jacket (albeit different colour) for less before. Even used a similar line back then: "600 fill power with Goose down which is warmer and usually more expensive than duck down."

    Associated with the store maybe?

    Forgot the previous post. due to inflation it’s still a very good price for the jacket!

  Thanks OP. Despite the negativity I reckon it's a decent deal. I've been using non waterproof jackets for snowboarding for a few years so this will be a nice little upgrade

  I bought one (a greeny blue one) at full price a couple of months ago and don't regret it. It's definitely waterproof and warm, tested a lot during the kids Sat morning sport in Dunedin. Don't know if I'd want to take it skiing, it feels too 'nice' to risk on some spills.
  Only thing I don't like is the size of the hood, it's bloody massive and a little annoying when it's not in use., But it is super warm and handy when needed.
  Seriously thinking about getting one of these as a backup, just not sure of the red. Gonna head to a store today and check if it's as bright red as the website.

  Can someone please share their thoughts on how does this Jacket compare to the hooded kathmandu and macpac jackets for normal use (non sports)

    Huffer is a brand that sells its name/fashion. You'll get better Price:Performance/quality by buying kathmandu/macpac if you're just after a warm jacket, which are brands that are focused on selling function first.

      I think kathmandu/macpac are normally Duck Down.
      This is 90% Goose Down, 10% Goose Feather.

      Goose Down is warmer and more expensive than Duck Down.

        I mean, yes that's true. But 90% of 100grams is still only 90grams. There's no mention of the fill weight, just the fill power and % of down:feather.
        Just because goose down might be better, doesn't mean there's actually a reasonable amount in there to outperform a better priced duck down jacket. If you can find the fill weight, which doesn't appear to be mentioned, then you can compare it to another brand easier, such as kathmandu, who do give the fill weight - because that is a metric that matters and they're trying to sell functional gear instead of fashionable names.

        Material wise I would go for superdown. Some huffer jackets are not down jackets so I won't recommend. but Superdown is quite solid.

        As far as I reckon Kathmandu/macpac jackets are water-repellent only and not waterproof so it gets soaked easier. IMO, they are a bit overpriced.
