Is the Jackson Glacier warm enough for below-freezing weather?

Yes. The 700-fill recycled down and sealed shell handle typical winter cold, especially with a midlayer. It is not rated for extreme expedition cold.

Is it actually waterproof?

The two-layer shell is waterproof and keeps out rain and wet snow. Seams and zippers are the weak points in sustained heavy rain.

It is cut roomy enough to layer a fleece or sweater underneath. Most buyers take their normal size; size up only for heavy layering.

Not really. It is a full winter parka and takes up significant space in a bag. A lightweight down jacket is better for packing.

Down parkas usually drop in late winter and spring clearance. The current best new price is $619 at Backcountry as of November 7, 2026.
