Is the Ghost Whisperer warm enough on its own?

For cool mornings and active hiking, yes. In freezing or windy conditions most people wear it under a shell or pair it with a fleece.

How does it compare with the Ghost Whisperer/2?

The newer version keeps the same ultralight design with small updates to fabric and fit. Either works as a packable midlayer; pick the one whose fit you prefer.

Does it fit true to size?

It runs trim and athletic. If you plan to layer a fleece underneath, size up.

No. The shell sheds light moisture but is not waterproof. Wear a rain shell over it in sustained wet weather.

What is the down fill?

It uses 1000-fill RDS-certified down, which is among the highest fill powers available and gives strong warmth for little weight.

Does it pack into its own pocket?

Yes. It stuffs into one of its hand pockets and clips to a harness or pack.

About the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Jacket

The Ghost Whisperer is Mountain Hardwear's ultralight down hooded jacket, built for climbers and hikers who count grams. It uses 1000-fill RDS-certified down in a thin nylon shell, so it packs into its own pocket and layers under a shell. It is warmer for its weight than most down jackets at this level, but the fabric is delicate and the fit runs trim. Reviewers rate it highly as a packable midlayer; it is not a stand-alone winter coat.
