Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hooded Jacket
The Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer is a hooded down jacket. The down filling makes it one of the lightest weight jackets you will find while having a high level of warmth.
The jacket weighs just over 7 ounces, or 200g, thanks to the 850-fill goose down. It was listed by National Geographic as “Gear of the Year 2012” — a list of essential must-have winter outdoor items.
Ghost Whisperer fabric
Ghost Whisperer is a fabric so unique there's only one mill in the world that can weave it. Mountain Hardwear developed this super-lightweight fabric as part of their Ueli Steck Project, a collaboration with speed alpinist Ueli Steck to reinvent climbing apparel and equipment for the next generation of ultrafast alpinists. The Ghost Whisperer fabric's super-tight weave is naturally down-proof, windproof and water repellent. While some claim to offer lighter fabrics, the Ghost Whisperer is the world's only true 7 denier by 10 denier fabric, using single 7d and 10d yarns rather than pairs of strands.
