Featured in Switchback Travel's Best Down Jackets Guide

"Plopping squarely in the lightweight category, this cozy down jacket boasts an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio, phenomenal fit, and relatively affordable price tag to boot. The synthetic insulation in moisture-prone areas (similar to Arc’teryx’s pricier Cerium above) has made this one of our favorite insulators for fast-and-light climbing trips and mountaineering objectives, but it’s also sleek enough to wear casually."

Description

The Accelerator Down Jacket is a lightweight, warm, & packable mountain staple. It is designed to be versatile & at home in the backcountry - this jacket has a place on demanding mountaineering expeditions, ski tours, and summer high-alpine backpacking trips. 


The 20D Pertex® Quantum ripstop nylon shell keeps the wind out and holds ~4oz of ethically sourced 850 Fill-Power, water-resistant down for lightweight warmth. A PFAS-free water-resistant coating is applied to both the fabric and the down, protecting from internal and external moisture buildup.


Synthetic insulation mapping in high-moisture areas (underarms and mouth guard) keeps you warm during high-heart-rate activities.


The athletic fit is designed to fit perfectly over a base layer (and potentially a whisper-thin mid layer). This takes advantage of down’s insulating properties by reducing the need to heat unnecessary dead space and by reducing updrafts.
Hood & hem drawcords keep the wind out and the warmth in.

Zippered hand pockets and an internal zippered chest pocket keep your essentials close.


An integrated stuff sack in the left-hand pocket allows the entire jacket to easily compress to a size similar to a standard 32 oz Nalgene.


We use top-of-the-line YKK zippers for all of our products.

Excellent Warmth to Weight Ratio

This is on par weight-wise with other manufacturers entries into this type of jacket. This one is the warmest. Nicely cut and a great fit.

Cozy
Everyday jacket

Light, warm, and endlessly wearable. Worn it nearly everyday since receiving it. Fill feels great and the material is super soft. Agree that it stains easily but that just means life is being lived. I bought Golden Hour and love the color. I'd say it's a touch more orange than the photo.

Better than the Cerium LT

My Arc’teryx Cerium was finally losing its down and I was looking into replacing it. I didn’t want to replace it with Arc’teryx again for personal reasons. I heard about Himali from a friend who met them at the Ouray Ice Festival.

So far, it’s warmer and very comfortable. It feels more closer to a SV than a LT, but it’s made very well. I also love the colors. The sleeves are a bit long and I thought the sizing chart was a bit inaccurate. You should buy the size you usually wear compared to their sizing chart. Other than that, I’m very happy with the jacket.

Great jacket!

This is my 3rd Himali Jacket so I am definitely a fan! It is warm enough for cool winter nights and travels really well. I got the new green color to wear on Safari and am very excited to try it out next month.

Insanely nice jacket

I never leave reviews, but love this jacket! I got this jacket in late August and waited until I had used it in some different conditions to write a review. I am on a trip to Fairbanks AK, and it exceeded my expectations-- I went xc skiing in -10F weather with wind chill at -27F with just this, a merino baselayer, and a light fleece mid layer and was bordering on too warm, and I am really prone to cold- I use a 0deg sleeping bag even in the summer. It is super warm and wind resistant. I have also been wearing it around Seattle on my commute, and it is really nice for that as well-- it is shockingly waterproof. The hood is really nice as well, I love that it cinches and how far up the neck zips. I think it definitely runs small, I usually get a size medium but I got a size large in this and it's still a little tighter than I'd like. I like the women's fit mostly, it curves really nicely to fit the body well, but I do wish it was a little looser around the hips as someone who is a bit curvier/ more athletically built.

the importance of a reliable down jacket cannot be overstated.

Measurement Guide: 


1. SLEEVE: With the elbow slightly bent, measure from the center of the neck (vertebrae), Over the shoulder, along the outside of the arm, and down to the wrist bone


2. CHEST: Measure beneath the arms at the fullest circumference of the chest


3. WAIST: Measure around the narrowest part of the waist. 


4. HIP: Measure around the widest part of the hip. 


5. INSEAM: Measure the inside of your leg from the highest point down to the ankle or desired pant length.


Tips: 


Find a soft tape measure and a helper.


If your sizes line up in two distinct different size categories for chest, waist, or sleeve, choose the larger size.


If your sizing is between two categories, size down for a slim fit and size up for a looser fit.
